A proposed two-day outdoor concert and expanded outdoor dining plans headline a packed Canandaigua Planning Commission agenda this week, with more than a dozen applications up for review.
The commission will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Hurley Conference Room, with multiple public hearings and historic district changes on the docket.
The most notable item is a public hearing for Peacemaker Brewing at 106 Bemis Street, which is seeking approval to expand its annual event into a two-day outdoor concert in July. The event has operated since 2017 as a one-day gathering, and the new request would require both a special use permit and site plan approval.
Another public hearing will focus on Pintxo Wine Bar at 27 Coach Street, where the applicant is proposing to add outdoor dining to the north side of the existing restaurant. The request includes a special use permit along with site plan and architectural review.
Keystone Novelties at 520 North Main Street is also returning for review, seeking approval to install a seasonal tent after a previous one-year approval granted in 2025.
Several smaller-scale projects tied to signage and historic alterations round out the agenda. These include a request from O’Reilly Auto Parts on Eastern Boulevard to replace signage, as well as multiple applications involving window replacements, walkway upgrades, and signage changes at properties throughout the city, including locations on Phoenix Street, Gorham Street, Pleasant Street, and North Main Street.
