TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development
SUBJECT: Discuss and act on a request from Tekmak Development for a variance from
distance restrictions under Article 5.03 Alcoholic Beverages Section 5.03.003.
MTG. DATE: December 12, 2022
BACKGROUND
Thomas E. Kirkland, President of TEKMAK Development Company, requests a variance to
City Code Section 5.03.003 pertaining to the restrictions for "proximity of establishments
selling alcoholic beverages...." to the site of the new Marriot Hotel in order to receive a TABC
license. In the attached Exhibits, the buffer map and affected area list show that the North
Lamar ISD High School property line at 3050 North Main Street, LCAD 59857, is located less
than 300' to the Marriot Hotel property line located at 3005 North Main Street, the distance is
slightly less than the 300' ordinance requirement. However, when you measure from the high
school building to the hotel building, the distance is far greater than 300'. Additionally, the
area within the hotel devoted to alcohol service is very small and will serve to provide on-site
service to hotel and community patrons utilizing the event center space. Notice was sent out to
North Lamar ISD well in advance of the City Council meeting. To date, no response was
received.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the variance to the City Code Section 5.03.003 restriction of
alcohol sales within the 300' proximity of the property lines between the new Marriot Hotel
and North Lamar ISD High School property.
