Description:
Conditional Use Permit request (CUP-25-3) to permit a Dance Hall use in DC Downtown Commercial at 130 Jackson Street NW. The applicants are requesting to convert the property at 130 Jackson Street NW into a restaurant and bar (Olaika Restaurant/Bar and Dance Hall) with dance space and live entertainment. The property used to be the site of a previous conditional use for Commercial Indoor Recreation (Blue Ridge Axe Throwing) Restaurant/Bar is a permitted by-right use in Downtown Commercial but the use of the property as a Dance Hall requires an approved conditional use permit.
