RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approves the revised Conditional Use Permit application for the proposed 990 Cocktail Bar and Lounge, based on the updated analysis set forth in this report and the required Findings subject to the Conditions of Approval in the draft Resolution (Attachment II).
SUMMARY
VGJB, Inc. is requesting approval of their revised Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to occupy an existing, vacant 2,363 square-foot tenant space located at 990 “B” Street in Downtown Hayward for a new cocktail bar and lounge with food sales available. The applicant is still applying for the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license (Type 48) that is for alcohol only establishments and only allows patrons aged 21 years and older to enter. The only change to the application is the addition of a small food service component to the use. The proposed cocktail bar and lounge will include a full-service bar with a small kitchen area and cabaret entertainment (live and amplified music, dancing, etc.). The project will also include significant exterior and interior tenant improvements including updating the façade, retrofitting the interior for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and complying with current California Building Code requirements for energy efficiency.
