Trevor Ryan

Location:
623 1/2 St. Joseph Street
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Major Amendment to a Conditional Use Permit to allow on-sale liquor in conjunction with a comedy club at 632 ½ Saint Joseph Street. The comedy club will be located in the lower level suite of the Buell Building which is approximately 2,944 square feet in size and previously occupied by Decades Vintage Clothing. West River Comedy Club will host stand-up comedy shows, open mic nights, and other live performances. The hours of operation will be from 5:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The club is secured with a metal security gate at the main entrance. The two suite exits are equipped to prevent entry from the outside ensuring that all patrons enter through the main entrance. There will be 24/7 video monitoring and, during operational hours, there will be a minimum of two staff members on-site. On-sale liquor uses have been approved three separate times for this same suite. In 2013 a Major Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit was approved to allow on-sale liquor in conjunction with the Potter Family Theater, in 2016 a Major Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit was approved to allow on-sale liquor in conjunction with a comedy club called West Dakota Improv, and in 2019 a Major Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit was approved to allow on-sale liquor in conjunction with a competitive gaming lounge called Overclock Lounge. On-sale liquor establishments are approved specific to the applicant’s operational plan. New operational plans require a Major Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit which allows for the review of the land use impacts of that new operation.
