Mr. Simien,
We will remove your request from the planning agenda, and then refund the allowable portion of
your application. To operate a music venue, with no alcohol, does not require an approved specific
use permit (SUP). The requirement of the SUP came from the understanding that"club 415"would be a
"byob" establishment.
Please note, that prior to occupying this space, you will need to obtain a commercial alteration
permit, and make the required alterations to bring the building into compliance with any applicable
building, and fire codes. Once all inspections have been completed an approved, your alteration
permit will facilitate your Certificate of Occupancy.
If at any time you choose to move forward with "byob"or obtain a liquor license for the sale of
alcohol, you will be required to resubmit an application for a specific use permit.
Lindsey, Can you please refund $525.00 of the application PZ2025-83 SUP FEE.

Mr. Simien,
I know we just spoke on the phone; however I wanted to follow up and make sure we have the
details. According to your letter (attached) you will now hold an alcohol-free establishment. I
understand you're wanting to keep the application simple, I must ask if there is an intent for in the
future to become a "BYOB" establishment or even obtain a liquor license further down the road to
allow club 415 to sell drinks themselves.
The answer can be no, and that would be fine we will just need to amend your request slightly to
change from a drinking place to a late hours club.
However, what I want to share, is that if you are operating with no alcohol and then later plan to
expand to allow BYOB, then we start back over at having to amend your specific use permit.
While I understand at this time, you have no intentions on serving alcohol, or obtaining a liquor
license. I would recommend continuing with the original application like we discussed in the pre-
development meeting. This would allow you to begin operations with no alcohol, and then should
you so choose to allow the BYOB it is already permitted with your existing application.
The choice is yours of course, I just need to know which way you would like to proceed;
1. Amend your application to just a late hours establishment with NO alcohol; and in the future
get an amended sup at the time you choose to add alcohol to your business.
2. Continue with the original application of a drinking place with "BYOB"?
I am here to help you and I hope this was clear, if you have any questions, please let me know.
