FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a specific use permit to allow a drinking
place in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family
Dwelling) District
FILE: 2138-P
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
condition:
1. All code related items must be inspected and approved prior
to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Roy Etie, representing Roy Bob=s Food and Beverage Co., has
applied for a specific use permit to allow a drinking place
in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)
District. The property is located at 3684-B College.
Mr. Etie states that he would like to open a comedy club on
the subject property. The club will sell alcoholic beverages.
The comedy club, Laugh Out Loud, will operate between the hours
of 4 p.m. and 2 a.m., Monday - Sunday. The club will have a
full service bar and a stage and seating for comedy performances.
On special occasions, live bands will be booked to play.
Fifteen to twenty employees will work at the club. The club
will have a seating capacity of 300.
The subject property is the former location of the Gateway
Theater. When the theater closed several years ago, the
building was subdivided. In November, 2008, City Council
approved a specific use permit to allow a bar called The Ticket
to operate. That bar has since closed. After that closure,
the location was used as a teen club for a short while. For
a drinking place to reoccupy the space, a new specific use permit
must be granted by City Council.
In its review of this specific use permit, the Fire Marshal
states that all code related items must be inspected and approved
prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Exhibits are attached.
