Use Permit / Entertainment Use Permit Narrative SanTan Brewing Company City of Chandler, My name is Anthony Canecchia and | represent SanTan Brewing Company Inc. and over the last few years, SanTan has experienced the same hardships as other businesses because of the Covid- 19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, SanTan shuttered the Tasting Room and the Touring component of our Production Facility at 495 E Warner Rd. Chandler AZ 85225 (parcel #302-39- 319). Upon re-opening, our company policy was, and remains, to be respectful to the needs of our customers. This takes the form of socially distanced seating which makes many of our customers incredibly happy to see. Because the Tours are becoming more successful, and to maintain the respectful space required for social distancing, SanTan has expanded our seating area outside with additional patio space with a Wooden Deck adjacent to the existing approved patio. The additional space will allow SanTan to add tables which will remain safely distanced inside and outside. Currently, Tours fill up and can be as many as 16 people per tour. This is half the number we used to allow pre-pandemic. At 16 per Tour, with 16 ending the Tour and 16 waiting for the next Tour, the seating can get a bit crowded. The patio expansion will give SanTan the opportunity to continue to make our guests feel comfortable. SanTan is also using this addition to work with Collaborative 5 Design Studios to beautify the landscaping against Warner Rd and to visually and colorfully enhance our corner of Uptown Chandler with approved flora. Additionally, we have 2 speakers on the patio for tour announcements and for background music. Also have live acoustic, 2- and 3-piece bands inside and outside the tasting room —re-dremsvdl] be—usec—outdoors, oniy—a€ejor-or—e—_simiter_ferm_ef_pereussion —whieh_preduces_softer —tenes-Meaning, the location where the live entertainment and background music will occur is within our 1500 sq ft Tasting Room and our 1400 sq ft patio. The time and duration of that entertainment will depend on the event (tours, product release party, wedding or rehearsal dinner). The hours of entertainment on Sunday are from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. Monday through Thursday 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm and Saturday from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm. Working the tours and other events, the number of employees can be as few as 2 employees on up to 10 or more employees. The total number of seats is approximately 48 (24 in the Tasting Room and 24 on the Patio). Lastly, we have a shared parking agreement with our neighbors to the west (455 E Warner Rd.) which adds over 100 parking spaces to our approximately 40 existing parking spaces. In sum, although this location is primarily a production facility, we hope the City of Chandler will approve our patio and our entertainment requests so we can provide a safe and fun environment for our team members and our guests. Respectfully, Anthon
