PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Development Services has received a conditional use request from David Gray from DVG Architecture and Planning on behalf of the Westside Theater to add tavern use to the existing Westside Theater located at 1200 Shakespeare Street Suite 2. The tavern conditional use will be located in Suite 2 in addition to the existing use of Entertainment and Spectator Sports - Small Venue for Westside Theater. Existing uses on the subject property include Business Equipment Sales and Service, Building Maintenance Service, Car Wash/Cleaning Service, and Sports & Recreation – Participant.
The subject property is zoned Limited Industrial-Residential (M1R-2). According to Title 20, Section 20.15.020, a Tavern use requires conditional use approval to operate in the M1R-2 zoning district. Title 20, Section 20.105.040 defines a Tavern use as, “an establishment that is primarily engaged in serving alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises and in which the serving of prepared food and meals constitutes less than 65% of the establishment's gross income. Taverns and nightclubs may offer live entertainment and dancing.”
Westside Theater intends to sell alcoholic beverages at events. City Council will either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the conditional use request.
Westside Theater is in City Council Ward 2 and the Westside Neighborhood Council.
