A plan to turn a former church building at the entrance of Old Town Cottonwood into a brewpub will be in front of the Cottonwood Planning and Zoning Commission Monday night.
The building sits across from Bing’s Burger Station at the first bend in Old Town and was Cottonwood’s first recreation center.
Paint peels from the structure now and a chain holds the doors closed, but owners Bob Conlin and Pete Goehring have filed a letter of intent with P&Z outlining their plans.
Even though the property is zoned “Light Commercial” and allows them to sell the beer it produces onsite, the owners are seeking a conditional-use permit to allow them to distribute beer that they make off-site to restaurants and bars, according to their letter of intent and the P&Z staff report.
