HomeMy WebLinkAbout2396-PDATE: October 21, 2019 TO: Planning Commission and City Council FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a sports bar in a GC -MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) District. FILE: 2396-P STAFF REPORT Amaray Mathew has applied for a Specific Use Permit to allow a sports bar at 3430 Concord. Mr. Mathew states that he envisions the space as an elegant adult lounge for sports, birthday parties and lots of fun. The lounge will be open from 8 p.m. - 2 a.m., seven days per week. The sports bar will occupy a space in a commercial strip which also houses a beauty school and retail. Security will be provided in the form of 3-4 bouncers. In 1997, City Council approved a specific use permit to allow an entertainment, recreational services and rental hall with the occasional sale of alcohol at this location. In 2011 a drinking place was approved, then in 2012 a bottle club was approved. Those businesses have since closed down and the space is now vacant. The immediate area facing the building along Concord and Steelton is developed commercially. Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the following conditions: 1. "No Loitering" signs shall be posted in the parking lot. 2. Proper security shall be provided. Exhibits are attached.
