TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing and grant the Permit with conditions on the application of LBC Beverages, Inc., dba Clancy's, 803 E. Broadway, for Entertainment Without Dancing by Patrons. (District 2)
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 is granted or denied.
The LBMC also requires that the City Council make a determination that the application is complete and truthful; the applicant, the person interested in the ownership and operation of the entity, and the officers and trustees of the entity are law-abiding persons who will operate and conduct the business activity in a lawful manner; and, that the public peace, welfare, and safety will not be impaired. If this is so, the application shall be approved, a short-term permit shall be approved, or the application shall be denied.
The City Council has the authority to approve the following options: 1) grant the Permit, with or without conditions; or 2) grant a One-Year Short-Term Entertainment Permit, with or without conditions; or 3) deny the Permit on the application.
Attached for your review is the application from LBC Beverages, Inc., dba Clancy's. Also attached are reports from various departments and a summary of those reports, as well as the license history of the establishment.
