Buffalo reconsideration granted for Sunset Event Center; approval tied to conditions and waiver of prior disapproval
Summary
After meeting with the City of Auburn and securing a letter saying the city no longer opposed, the authority granted reconsideration and approved Sunset Event Center with conditions including midnight closing, no outdoor service, no ticketed events and no third‑party promoters.
The board granted reconsideration for Sunset Event Center, a Buffalo‑area applicant that had been preliminarily disapproved in February 2024. Counsel said the city of Auburn withdrew opposition and provided a supporting letter. Chair Lily Fan read a set of conditions into the record and asked whether the applicant would accept waiving the prior written disapproval; counsel agreed.
The board voted to approve with conditions: midnight closing across the board, no outdoor service, no ticketed events or third‑party promoters, and limits on private events and live/recorded music as stated in the record. Commissioner De Leon said he approved "with the conditions as the chair put on the record." The applicant was instructed to file for a temporary permit and submit required paperwork to move toward a conditional letter of approval.
