Council amends language and approves Jerry’s Lounge transfer; other transfer fails on roll call
Summary
Florissant council amended a transfer application to change the designation from 'restaurant' to 'tavern' for Jerry’s Lounge and later passed a bill authorizing the transfer. Separately, a different transfer of special‑use permit 8107 failed on roll call (5 no, 3 yes).
The Florissant City Council amended the title of a pending transfer application from 'restaurant' to 'tavern' and later approved an ordinance authorizing the transfer for Jerry’s Lounge, while a separate transfer application failed during a roll‑call vote.
Council members agreed to suspend the rules and invite petitioner Dan Dillon forward to answer questions about Jerry’s Lounge, located at 2182 North Waterford Drive. Dillon, who said he is a partner in the business, confirmed the venue will operate as a tavern, not a restaurant, and that it will not add a dance floor, DJ or cover charges. Councilman Egan moved to amend the agenda language to reflect 'tavern' rather than 'restaurant'; the motion passed by voice vote and was seconded.
Later in the meeting the council completed the formal readings and, after a final roll call, Bill number 10083 was recorded as passing and becoming ordinance 9079, authorizing the transfer of the existing nonconforming special use to D2 Enterprises LLC d/b/a Jerry’s Lounge.
In related land‑use action, a separate motion to accept the transfer of special‑use permit number 8107 (from Western Tire and Automotive to NR Auto Store 104 LLC) failed on a roll‑call vote with five 'no' votes and three 'yes' votes; the clerk announced that the application was not accepted.
Council discussion on the Jerry’s Lounge item focused on clarifying the business type and ensuring the record matched the applicants’ intent before the final vote. Petitioner Dan Dillon answered multiple questions about operations, and council members signaled they would update the ordinance language to match the amended title before the next reading.
