Title
Use Permit Application by Sherquita Tucker to Permit a Restaurant 3 to Include Live Entertainment and Outdoor Dining at 1144 Big Bethel Road [portion of LRSN: 4002763]
Purpose
Background Statement:
Use Permit Application No. 24-0454 is a request for a Use Permit for a restaurant 3 to exceed the general hours of operation permitted under a Zoning Administrator Permit (ZAP) and to include live entertainment and outdoor dining.

Per the existing conditions of UP No. 21-00010, the Use Permit would expire upon a change of ownership, a change in possession, a change in the operation or management of a facility, or the passage of three (3) months without an active retail alcoholic beverage control license. Earlier this year, the previous restaurant ceased and changed ownership; and thus, UP 21-00010 expired. This is the first Use Permit to expire under this condition due to a change in ownership.
If this Use Permit is granted, staff recommends thirteen (13) conditions based upon the proposed use’s operational and land use characteristics. Recommended conditions address issuance of permit, location of live entertainment, hours of operation, capacity, security, window transparency, dancing, sound, third party promoters, ABC license and expiration, and compliance with applicable laws.

The recommended conditions are consistent with other restaurants with live entertainment and outdoor dining Use Permits recently granted.
