PROJECT: Specific Use Permit for Oktoberfest
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY: The Southlake Chamber of Commerce is requesting approval of a Specific Use
Permit for a Mass Gathering Event for Oktoberfest on property described as
Phases I-IV, Southlake Town Square, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas
and located between E. Southlake Boulevard, E. SH 114 and N. Carroll
Avenue, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: “DT” Downtown District. SPIN
Neighborhood #8.
DETAILS: The Southlake Chamber of Commerce is requesting approval of a specific use
permit (SUP) for a mass gathering event for Oktoberfest. The previously
approved SUP will expire June 3, 2019. The 2019 event space will encompass
the same boundary used in previous years. The attendance is expected to
remain the same as the 2018 event which reached 100,000 over the course of
three days. This will be the 18th year for this Southlake Chamber of Commerce
hosted event. All activities and entertainment are consistent with the 2018
event. The applicant is requesting to continue to have the ability to access the
park property on the Thursday prior to the event at 9 a.m. in order to load in and
set up the large tent in the middle of the park. General parking and traffic flow
will not be impacted. The entire set up is anticipated to be completed by
midnight on that Thursday. The expanded hours on Friday and Sunday will
provide additional opportunities for community partners to participate as well as
give attendees additional time to experience the food, unique vendors and
entertainment of Oktoberfest.
The 2019 Event Schedule is as follows:
Friday, October 4 12 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Saturday, October 5 10 a.m. – 11 p.m.
Sunday, October 6 12 p.m. – 8 p.m.
This event has been held annually since 2002. The previous approval by City
Council on June 3, 2014 allowed the event to be held for five (5) consecutive
years with the Director of Planning & Development Services having the ability to
review conditions and provide revocability at their discretion.
Due to the many years of experience by the event organizers and the stability
and maturity of the event, the applicant is respectfully requesting that the event
be permitted in perpetuity.
ACTION NEEDED: 1. Conduct public hearing
2. Consider approval of a Specific Use Permit
