809 Lounge seeks full liquor permit and on/off sales; staff recommends approval with separation waivers
Summary
A representative for 809 Lounge Restaurant and Grill asked the hearing officer to approve a 4COP alcoholic beverage permit (beer, wine and liquor for on- and off-premises sales) at 3710 West Waters Avenue and to rescind a previous 4COPRX permit if the new permit is granted.
A representative appearing remotely said the applicant for 809 Lounge Restaurant and Grill at 3710 West Waters Avenue seeks a 4COP alcoholic beverage permit for on- and off-premises sales, and asked that an earlier 4COPRX permit (approved in July 2024) be rescinded if the new permit is approved.
The representative stated the indoor area would be about 7,651 square feet with 1,140 square feet of outside area (8,791 square feet total). She and staff said City Life Church’s property line is approximately 135 feet from the proposed wet-zone area and noted the straight-line distance to the church’s building is about 350 feet while the normal travel route exceeds 1,500 feet due to West Waters Avenue and median buffering.
Chris Gralinar (Development Services) said there are 13 existing similar alcoholic beverage permits within 1,000 feet and that the site sits at a major intersection with established commercial uses; staff recommended the application be approvable based on buffering by West Waters Avenue and absence of nearby residentially zoned properties within 250 feet. No members of the public spoke in favor or opposition; the hearing officer closed the record.
