Cross Street Restaurant Live Entertainment Conditional Use (26-0042)

At a glance

  • What: conditional use to add live entertainment (karaoke and small groups) to an existing restaurant in a C1 district across from Cross Street Market.
  • Where it stands: approved Oct 21, 2026 with no opposition. A written resolution follows in several weeks.

The proposal

  • Hours: 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Tuesday to Friday, noon to 2:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, none on Monday (the applicant's side said it would stop before 2:00).
  • Soundproofing and weekend security are in place. The use was approved once in 2022 but the permits were never picked up, so this is a redo.

Planning view

  • Justin Walker of the Department of Planning recommended approval: an entertainment-focused corridor, no greater impact than at other similarly zoned sites.
