STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
condition:
1. ADA spaces shall have proper signage.
Lesha Crawford has applied for a specific use permit to allow
a drinking place in a GC-MD District. The property is located
at 3410 Concord.
Ms. Crawford states that she would like to operate a drinking
place in an existing building on the subject property. The
primary customer base will be individuals 30 years old and up.
Beer and wine will be available for purchase. The lounge will
be open from 9 p.m. - 2 a.m., Wednesdays through Saturdays.
The drinking place will occupy a space in a commercial strip

an entertainment, recreational services and rental hall with
the occasional sale of alcohol at this location. That business
has since closed down and the space is now vacant.
Exhibits are attached.
