Sticks and Stones cocktail bar at Knox Square cleared for first reading with conditions on live music, food and hours
Summary
Planning staff presented a first-reading conditional-use request for Sticks and Stones cocktail bar at Knox Square (5852 Elsie Road), with planning-commission-recommended conditions on indoor live music, food service classification and a daily 11 p.m. closing time.
City planning staff presented a first-reading conditional-use application for Sticks and Stones, a cocktail bar proposed at 5852 Elsie Road within the new Knox Square commercial development across from Stadium Trace Parkway.
Staff said the planning commission recommended approval subject to conditions: any live entertainment must be indoor music at a volume "not to be perceived off of the property" so as not to disturb adjacent single-family or senior-living properties; the business must offer food service consistent with a restaurant classification (staff said the applicant proposes a limited-service kitchen); and the business must cease operations at 11 p.m. daily, a time requested by the applicant.
Staff noted the item was a first reading and will be heard and voted on again at the council's first meeting in February; the transcript does not record a final vote.
Why it matters: the conditions aim to limit spillover noise and ensure food service accompanies alcohol sales; the site is near single-family and senior-living uses and the planning commission tailored conditions to reduce potential conflicts.
Next steps: the item returns for final action at a future meeting; no final vote is recorded in the provided transcript.
