Neighbors press for earlier cutoff; council limits new entertainment license to midnight
Summary
After neighbors raised concerns about music and late hours for a proposed Caleb and Broad entertainment license, councilors amended the applicant's requested 1 a.m. indoor closing to midnight and approved the license as amended.
At a public hearing on the entertainment license for Caleb and Broad, nearby residents voiced concern that a 1 a.m. indoor entertainment end-time would be excessive for the mixed downtown/residential area. "1AM seems excessive for the end of the entertainment for the evening," a resident said, urging 10 p.m. weeknights and 11 p.m. on weekends.
Applicant counsel responded that the current license in practice often ended earlier and that management would work with neighbors to avoid complaints. After council discussion about decibel levels and neighborhood impact, a councilor moved to amend the indoor entertainment end time to midnight. The amendment passed on voice vote and the council then approved the entertainment license as amended.
