AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By:RJO Approved By: RJO 1. Purpose. To consider a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) consolidating a bar with live entertainment (Narrows Saloon) with a restaurant serving liquor (The Lakeroom). 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received as complete on December 20th, 2018. The 60-Day review period has been extended and will expire on April 19, 2019. 3. Background. The City Council has approved Conditional Use Permits for the Narrows Saloon and the Lakeroom over the years, summarized in the following table. One of the conditions included in the original permit for the Lakeroom was that both entities hold separate liquor licenses. The property owner now desires to remove that condition. Doing so would require a Conditional Use Permit expansion of either the Lakeroom (to allow live entertainment) or the Narrows (to expand the space). The applicant also desires to alter the hour restrictions for the Lakeroom, to allow that business to be open the same hours as the Narrows (to 1:00 a.m. Monday through Sunday) Since a Conditional Use Permit is issued to the property, not the property owner, any future bar and restaurant could work under this conditional use permit, so long as all of the conditions are met. A concern is this or a future owner could expand the live music aspect of the business, potentially impacting the adjacent neighborhoods without public comment. Finally, last August, the council agreed to relocate the dumpster enclosure onto city property, away from the outdoor patio. In response to these requests, staff has prepared a resolution that incorporates the requested changes, retaining the remaining conditions into one permit. This new conditional use permit documents the size of the stage and the music receiving area, so those areas could not be expanded without City Council approval. The attached Planning Commission staff report outlines the request in greater detail. If the Council denies the application, the Lakeroom and the Narrows may still operate under the previously issued conditions.
