Planning staff presented several separate restaurant applications that would add alcohol sales, live entertainment or extended hours at existing restaurant locations across the city; staff recommended approval on several with conditions focused on hours, capacity and a two‑year sunset where entertainment is a new element.
Coastal Country at 4201 Pleasant Avenue sought to add off‑premise alcohol sales and to allow live entertainment (live band, karaoke, trivia, poetry, music bingo) while maintaining a similar seating capacity and not extending closing hours beyond 11 p.m.; staff said the site is in a PDMU mixed‑use district and recommended approval with standard CUP conditions.
Wasserhorn Brewing at 2411 Granby Street proposed a brewery/restaurant with live entertainment and a small arcade; staff noted the applicant reduced proposed hours compared with a prior occupant to avoid nightclub classification and recommended a two‑year sunset because it is the operator’s first time before the commission with entertainment. The applicant seeks a commercial recreation center classification because the arcade would exceed four games and staff noted the entertainment area and dance floor on the floor plan.
Crudon Nudo (727 W 201st) requested extended hours and on‑ and off‑premise alcohol sales after reconstruction following a fire; staff reported the business has operated at the site since 2018, the Gittin Business Association and neighborhood league support the request, and staff recommended approval. Taqueria LV Home (4616 E Princess Anne Road) requested on‑premise alcohol sales in a commercial corridor; staff recommended approval and noted the site is within a low‑impact noise zone and the applicant began operating in March 2024 without reported issues.
Across these items staff emphasized capacity limits, hours of operation and the need for a meal purchase for off‑premise alcohol when applicable; for first‑time entertainment applicants staff recommended a two‑year sunset so the city can reassess impacts after initial operation.
