• The sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption in conjunction with a public restaurant occupying 7,940 SF with 231 seats and live entertainment operation 24 hours daily.
• Permit the sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption in the lobby areas of the proposed theater occupying 9,987 SF with 179 seats.
