Term Sheet Approved for Community Tap House Near Quarry Park

A proposed outdoor community tap house and public market on City land near Quarry Park Adventures took its first official step forward when the Rocklin City Council approved the project term sheet Tuesday night.

City staff and Beer 40, LLC, negotiated the initial agreement for the development of a concept modeled after the popular SACYARD Community Tap House and Beer 40 projects in Sacramento and Vacaville, respectively.

The term sheet calls for the City and Beer 40 to enter into a five-year three-month initial lease agreement for use of city land, with Beer 40 responsible for designing, funding, permitting, constructing and operating all related improvements. Beer 40 will pay a base rent of $1,000 a month on the property, as well as additional rent based on a percentage of gross sales.

Council Requests Law for Pet Owners to Pick Up After Their Dogs

In January, City Council directed staff to research ordinances in surrounding cities designed to encourage pet owners to extend common courtesies to their neighbors, such as picking up after their dogs.

Staff found that the City of Rocklin was in the minority in not requiring residents to dispose of their dog’s feces properly when on public or other’s private property. After discussion, Council requested a new draft ordinance to help keep our public spaces clean and have a rule that could be referenced when working with violators.

The draft ordinance will be heard at a future Council meeting for possible adoption.
