The City of Roanoke Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing on July 15, 2026, to consider a special exception request for establishing an entertainment establishment in a commercial neighborhood district adjacent to a residential area. The applicant, Morris Brown, sought approval to reopen a previously abandoned entertainment venue. Staff recommended approval with conditions, including obtaining a certificate of occupancy within 12 months and limiting amplified music to indoor hours between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. The board amended the conditions to specify these sound restrictions and unanimously approved the special exception. No public opposition was recorded during the hearing.
