TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing, and grant an Entertainment Permit with conditions on the application of Avan Limited Liability Company, dba Udom Restaurant, 1223 East Anaheim Street, for Entertainment With Dancing. (District 6)
DISCUSSION
The Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) requires an application be filed and a hearing be held before the City Council whenever this type of activity is requested and before an entertainment permit (Permit) is granted or denied.

The City Council has the authority to approve the following options: 1) grant the Permit, with or without conditions; or 2) deny the Permit on the application.
