Special exception approved for pool hall/bar at 1301 Highway 501 East with conditions
Summary
A special exception allowing on-site alcohol consumption for a planned pool hall in Conway was approved with conditions barring outdoor amplified sound, outdoor dining and limiting event sizes; applicant Timmy Tompkins said he intends a family-friendly pool venue without outdoor events.
Horry County's zoning board granted a special exception to allow on-site alcohol consumption at a proposed pool hall and bar in Unit B of a commercial center at 1301 Highway 501 East, subject to conditions limiting outdoor activity and maximum attendance.
Applicant Timmy Tompkins described plans for a pool hall with multiple tables and a family-friendly atmosphere, saying he has no intention of hosting outdoor music or dining. Staff recommended conditions restricting outdoor amplified sound, outdoor dining and limiting events to fewer than 499 people unless a special-event permit is obtained. Tompkins said his intent is not to use outdoor amplified sound or hosting activities that would violate the conditions.
The board approved the special exception with the stated conditions; members requested the motion explicitly incorporate a clarification limiting outdoor amplified sound and temporary special events to instances where a special-event permit is granted.
