Discussion regarding a Request from R.K. Associates to Modify the Code to Allow
Limited Dancing in the Town Center District for Certain Restaurants, Specifically the
Lotus Restaurant Located in the RK Town Center at 17082 Collins A venue.
Action: [City Clerk's Note: See action to add this item under Item 4A.] Arnold Shevlin
requested that the Commission allow dancing in restaurants in the Town Center District.
Assistant City Manager Vera said once a dance floor is in, it is classified as a nightclub. The
Code allows restaurants on certain days ofthe week to have live entertainment but states no
dance floors, no outside entertainment or loud speakers will be permitted outside.
Public Speakers: Arnold Shevlin
Arnold Shevlin requested a modification to the Code to allow dance floors, allow the use at
different times, and allow liquor to 1 :00 a.m., and dancing to 2:00 a.m., but it was suggested
that dancing and liquor stop at the same time. He proposed dancing in conjunction with a
full-service restaurant with 4,000 square feet or larger, with 200 seats or more in the Town
Center District, and allow dancing Wednesday through Sunday until 1 :00 a.m.
City Manager Szerlag said if the Commission wants to pursue this, he would have staff, in
particular, Zoning for enforcement and the Police Department, to indicate what their issues
would be on this matter. It was the consensus of the City Commission to have staff do
further study on this and come back at the September 18, 2008 Commission meeting.
