Proposed Supper/Right Club
at 6100 N.W. 7th avenue
ENCLoSURES:
Dr. Cecil Graham has requested and was denied a permit to have
a Supper Club or a Night Club at 6100 N.W. 7th Avenue, The
reason for the denial was that the property, which is zoned C-2,
is in the Martin Luther King Interim Zoning District, which does
not permit this use.
If the Interim Zoning District were not in effect, the C-2 zoning
of the property would permit a petition for a Supper Club as a
Conditional Use. Night Clubs are first permitted in C-4.
It is possible for the Commission to take the following actions
regarding Dr. Graham's request.
1. Refuse action.
2. Revise the uses permitted in the Interim Zoning
District, which must be done in Public Hearing
with the recommendation of the Planning Advisory
Board.
3. Cancel the Martin Luther King Interim Zoning
District.

Dear Mayor Ferre:
am requesting a place on the agenda of the next scheduled City Commissioners
Meeting.
The purpose of my appearing before the Commissioners, is to seek their approval
for the operation of a Supper/Night Club, located at 6100 N. W. 7th Avenue.
The opening of the night club, would go a long way in assisting in the
revitilization of the Edison Center Business District and the Dr. Martin Luther
King Boulevard area, in the following ways:
1. The attracting of more people into the area on a regular basis.
2. Provide an opportunity for a private investment by responsible pro-
fessional people in the community and who for a long time, have
desired to fully participate in the redevelopment ofthe area.
3. Afford a minimum of thirty five (35) jobs initially. Besides the
management and supervisory staff, a broad category of technical jobs,
never before available to this coununity, would then become available.
4. Encourage the establishment of new business and decrease the high
rate of store vacancies, now concentrated in the North lest adjoining
7th Avenue area.
In addition to the above mentioned, the new supper/night club, "Dealers
Choice", will provide valet parking and the finest international cuisine,
with top rate service.
Presently, lie are negotiating to bring in nationally known talent twice per
month, such as; "The Spinners" singing group, Aretha Franklin, Ronnie Dyson,
a
Nfiayot MMautice forte

Sister Sledge and a host of other top rate Nationally famous talent; which
would provide an additional opportunity to include local talent during these
engagements.
III closing, 1 Might add, that news of this undertaking has brought many in-
quiries and favorable responses from members of the labor's union that I serve
in the three county area and also many local people involved in the entertain-
anent field, was somewhat of a well received surprise to me, in spite of the
fact that I have been involved in the night club business in this area for a
number of years.
The granting of this request for the addition of our supper/night club under
the present Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard Interim Zoning Plan, will be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
•-`- J
