Title
Use Permit Application No. 18-00014 by Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 26, Limited to Permit A Private Club/Lodge On The First Floor of 36 Wine Street [LRSN: 2003044]
Purpose
Background Statement:
Use Permit Application No. 18-00014 is a request to permit the operation of a private club/lodge on the first floor of 36 Wine Street [LRSN: 2003044]. The property is currently a commercial office space and is zoned Downtown Business (DT-1), which allows for a private club or lodge with a use permit.
The applicant is proposing to operate a private lodge for the use of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 26. The lodge will primarily be used for evening meetings 2-3 times a month, with the possibility of private member dinners or social events. Additionally, the officers that serve the lodge will use the space to take care of administrative duties for the FOP.
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends mixed use for the subject parcel and most of the surrounding properties. There is a recommendation for some multi-family residential to the east.
If approved, staff recommends attaching eight (8) conditions to this application to mitigate any potential impacts from the use. These include restricting any live entertainment accessory to the lodge to hours consistent with other live entertainment hours that have been approved downtown: 8:00AM - 12:00AM Sunday through Thursday, and 8:00AM - 2:00AM Friday and Saturday. Other conditions include third party event requirements and adherence to the noise ordinance.
