Per Section 17-8-60 of the City of Brighton's Land Use and Development Code, an application for a Conditional Use must be presented before the City Council at a Public Hearing along with a Resolution approving, approving with conditions or denying the Conditional Use application.

The bar will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The owners expect that there will be approximately 20-60 people in the building at one time and anticipate having three employees with the potential to hire more in the future.
