PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Levelz Lounge project (“the Project”) requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate a Bar/Nightclub use in an existing ±2,988 square foot building. No major exterior building alterations are proposed as part of this Project.

The proposed use is anticipated to attract patrons to the Downtown during evening hours, supporting nearby businesses and increasing economic activity.
In addition to the standard conditions of approval, business operations will be subject to a Security and Operational Plan that establishes procedures for security personnel and responsible beverage service.
