The property is located in the B-1, Retail Sales Business District where a Class II <br />Restaurant (i.e. a restaurant which serves intoxicating liquor or has live <br />entertainment) is permitted by conditional use. <br />3. The conditional use permit granted via Resolution No. 4530 in October 2000 <br />permitted live entertainment and permitted the floor area devoted to Class H <br />Restaurant use to encompass approximately 60% of the 50' x 100' one-story <br />building. The current proposal would expand such use to 100% of the building. <br />Page 2 of 9 <br />
