Document Description
The nature and purpose of the project is to allow live music events within an existing operating restaurant and bar establishment. The Business is in an existing small neighborhood center, about 0.70 acres in size, fronting the Lakeshore Drive general commercial corridor. The center is comprised of two existing multi-tenant buildings and a freestanding tenant building. The Business is in the larger of the 3 existing buildings and is approximately 5,100 square feet in floor area, which includes 3 tenant spaces, Units A, B, and C. Other types of businesses in the center include dog grooming, hair salon, and apparel. Primary vehicle and pedestrian access is
from Lakeshore Drive. Emory Avenue, a southeast northwest local collector road, serves as primary access to residential neighborhoods, as well as secondary access for the center. The center shares 150 lineal feet of frontage with Emory Avenue, and an existing fence and access gate are along the rear property line. There are approximately 47 onsite parking spaces. The applicant proposes adding live music to the billiards hall and bar operations which will be in Unit A. A stage, dance floor, and the replacement of pool tables with dining tables and chairs will be for each live music event. Food, beverages, beer and wine will be available during the live music sessions. The business currently operates as a full-service establishment that includes a food service component, bar service, and a designated billiards area. This is a fully developed existing neighborhood shopping center including buildings and asphalt parking area.
