8. Ordinance No. 2026-19, Creative Playground: (Second Reading/Public

City Council Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is reviewing a proposal to allow the sale and on-site consumption of beer and wine as an accessory use to an interactive arts and crafts business. This business would be located in a 1,654 square foot unit within a 3-unit building on a 0.20-acre property at 1416 Highland Avenue. The property is currently zoned C-3 (Central Business District). This item is currently under review, having passed its first reading and scheduled for a second reading and public hearing. The project would involve interior build-out of the unit, potentially including plumbing for restrooms or a small service area, electrical work for lighting and equipment, and finishes for the customer-facing space. HVAC and painting would also be part of the interior work. Contractors specializing in interior finishing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, along with suppliers of building materials and fixtures, could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are issued, allows businesses to understand the project scope and prepare for potential bids.
