Background Information:
Swing Station is an indoor entertainment venue centered around golf simulator experiences. The business proposes limited alcohol sales as an accessory use to the primary recreational activity, with service restricted to canned beer, wine, and hard seltzers stored in a locked refrigerator behind the reception desk. Alcohol consumption would be limited to the interior of Suite 104 and intended solely as a secondary amenity for patrons utilizing the golf simulators. The business currently operates two semi-private golf simulator bays and does not provide food service; however, outside snacks are permitted for guests using the simulator bays and for private events.
The business will allow minors when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Alcohol service will be monitored by staff during operating hours and alcoholic beverages will only be served to guests 21 years of age or older with valid government-issued identification. Additionally, alcohol will be distributed solely through the reception area and measures such as posted policies, staff oversight, and surveillance cameras will be utilized to prevent alcoholic beverages from leaving the suite.
Per Senate Bill 1008, City Staff may not enforce certain limits on amplified sound from the business, unless it’s a restaurant. Since this does not meet the definition of a restaurant, the City can enforce the existing noise ordinance and the conditions related to noise added to this CUP.
