Huge TIKI on SD Marine property, bayside along Snake Creek - wonder about it?  We’ve been wondering too!


Almost 3 years ago a Major Conditional Use Permit was approved by council following a lengthy public hearing. The conditional use allowed for the construction of 4 restaurants with a total of 13,511 square feet, 12-Unit Hotel/Motel, 30-Slip Docking Facility, a 180 square foot bait house.


This new, nearly 5,000 sq ft tiki, is to be restaurant seating (100 seats) for a mobile food truck according to the site plan submitted last summer. Is this site plan a replacement for the 2023 site plan, or a Phase 1 that potentially needs council approval? According to code, any restaurant over 5000 sq ft requires a public hearing.  While the tiki is listed in the site plan as a 4,975 sq ft restaurant- what about a food truck instead of a kitchen for a 100-seat restaurant. Just a way to avoid a public hearing?
