The applicant requested consideration for a Conditional Use for an “event center” and a “nightclub in the city” on the LC Limited Commercial (LC) zoned platted property located north of Kellogg Street on the west side of Hydraulic Avenue (421 S. Hydraulic Ave.). The applicant proposes to provide a venue for events, such as weddings, birthdays, church functions, fraternal functions, a reception venue and similar activities. The serving of food is an option at these events. Dancing with DJ provided music or live music is an option for the events. The serving and consumption of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverages (drinks) on the site is an option for the events. An establishment that serves unrestricted amounts of alcohol for consumption on site and that also provides live entertainment or dancing is defined as a nightclub in the city; UZC Unified Zoning Code (UZC) Sec.II-B.9.b. When a LC zoned proposed nightclub in the city is located within 300-feet of a church, public park, school or residential zoning district a Conditional Use is required: UZC Sec.III-D.6.w. B Multi-Family Residential (B) zoned property is located less than 70-feet east of the site, across Hydraulic Avenue. The unoccupied event center-nightclub portion of the site is located in the east half of a small one-story commercial strip building (built 1950). The west half used to house the Night Owl bar. Staff has found no previous conditional use or use exception for a tavern/drinking establishment or nightclub for this site. Staff found no other tavern/drinking establishments, nightclubs or event center-nightclubs located in the neighborhood. The applicant proposed that the nightclub and event center-nightclub operate; Friday-Saturday, 5:00 p.m.- 1:30 a.m., Monday-Wednesday, 5:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m., Thursday, 5:00 p.m.-12:45 a.m. and Sunday, 5:00 p.m.-12:45 a.m. The west nightclub portion is open to the general public. The east event center-nightclub portion is rented out for public or private activities that are not repeated on a weekly basis, and that are not open to the public on a daily basis at times other than when an event is scheduled; UZC Sec.II-B.4.m. Enforcement of the proposed operations is problematic, as the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department’s Code Enforcement division (OCI) is not active during the proposed hours or on the weekends. DAB Questions: DAB: Are parking spaces available with agreements from neighboring businesses? A. Yes DAB: Have there been any complaints about this establishment? A: One written complaint about parking from a business two buildings south. No police reports or complaints from WPD. Action Taken: Heflin/Wilson made a motion to approve the conditional use.
