| Review and Recommendation: |
Legends Showcase Bar & Grill will provide patrons with live entertainment such as musical performances, disc jockeys, and karaoke, which will use twelve (12) speakers distributed throughout the premises and 10 television screens, all of which will be indoors. No entertainment components will be held outdoors.
As Entertainment Use Permit is required for entertainment provided indoors, with the property being located 600 feet or fewer from a residentailly zoned property. The nearest residentially zoned property is approximately 220 feet from Legends Showcase Bar & Grill.
