MEETING DATE: February 6, 2025
FROM: Matt Cox, Director of Community Development
AGENDA ITEM: Case SUP-25-001 (Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club)
Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the Town Council
regarding a Specific Use Permit request by Titan Beverage LLC on behalf of the
owner Hydra Hotels LLC (Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club) for alcohol
beverage sales for a TABC BG Permit (for on premises or off premises
consumption) approximately 250 feet north of SH 114, located at 525 Plaza
Dr., Trophy Club, Tarrant County, Texas. (Matt Cox, Community Development
Director)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: Titan Beverage LLC on behalf of the owner Hydra Hotels LLC
(Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club) is requesting approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for
alcoholic beverage sales for on premises or off premises consumption use according to Section
14.02.252 of the Town's Code of Ordinances. The property's zoning of Planned
Development District 25 (PD-25) does not restrict the sales of alcoholic beverages beyond the
regulations of the Town Code and State Law.
Titan Beverage LLC is applying for a SUP to obtain a mixed beverage restaurant permit (BG) and
a mixed beverage late hours permit (LH) that will allow the sale and consumption of wine,
beer, and liquor on the premises and during late hours (12 midnight - 2 AM). The Town Code
does not restrict hours of operation beyond TABC's regulations.
Page 3 of 11
Section 14.02.252(b) of the Code of Ordinance states that no alcoholic beverages may be sold
within 300 feet of a church, public school or private school, or public hospital. Subsection (g)
describes the methods of measurement as front door to front door and along the street from
property line when measuring for churches and public hospitals, and in a direct line from the
nearest property line to property line when measuring to public schools and private schools.
Hampton Inn by Hilton Trophy Club complies with Town and State requirements, as the closest
church (Lake Cities Church of Christ) is approximately 4,000 feet away, and the closest public or
private school (Walnut Grove Elementary School) is approximately 5808 feet away. The nearby
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Trophy Club is a private hospital so there are no
separation requirements. Parking needs have been addressed by the required on-site parking
spaces.
The Chief of Police has reviewed this application, as required by Code, and has no objections. A
notice of public hearing was distributed as required by State Law. To date, staff has not
received any inquiries.
