On the agenda: City Council
Pepper's -- a spicy issue in this city because the restaurant stands to lose the ability to sell liquor -- will be addressed by the City Council at 7 p.m. this evening. The Planning Commission has not been happy with this restaurant on 19th Street and voted in October to revoke Pepper's conditional use permit. The restaurant is permitted to operate as a restaurant that serves alcohol but the planning department believes it's operating as a bar. I think the bar stools, beer ads and DJs gave it away.
Restaurant owner Frank Frias has filed an appeal. If the City Council does not grant the appeal, it means no more distilled spirits at Pepper's.
Other noteworthy items on the agenda: Rod Hoops, the new sheriff in town, will get some love from the City Council. The former Rancho captain will be introduced at the start of the meeting. Also, the city will discuss an ordinance aimed to keep foreclosed and abandoned properties pretty. If this ordinance is adopted, the city can fine owners for neglecting their property. It would also allow the use of green spray paint to "beautify" dead lawns.
