B-C: Adopt the attached ordinance for these site plan amendments for approval for live entertainment (with dancing and outdoor seating where stated in the above subject listing), subject to all previously approved conditions and the amended and modified conditions in this report applicable only to the subject live entertainment, dancing, and/or outdoor seating (with dancing and outdoor seating where stated in the subject listing), with an administrative review in one (1) year (November 2021) and a County Board review in two (2) years (November 2022).
D-G, I-L, N,
Q-S: Renew the subject use permits for live entertainment (with dancing and outdoor seating where stated in the subject listing), subject to all previously approved conditions in this report, with an administrative review in one (1) year (November 2021) and a County Board review in two (2) years (November 2022).
M, P: Renew the subject use permit for live entertainment, subject to all
previously approved conditions in this report, with administrative reviews in three (3) months (February 2021) and one (1) year (November 2021) and a County Board review in two (2) years (November 2022).
ISSUES: This is a two (2) year review of use permits and site plan amendments for live
entertainment, dancing, and outdoor seating for establishments within the Clarendon Live Entertainment Group. During the review of the Live Entertainment uses, the Police Department have noted issues with noise and the serving of alcoholic beverages outside of the establishment at Don Tito’s. Additionally, Code Enforcement has noted violations of the Virginia Maintenance Code at Don Tito’s and Wilson Hardware. Staff is recommending short administrative review cycles to monitor both establishments’ compliance with their use permit conditions. No other issues have been identified at the time of this report.
SUMMARY: This is a two (2) year review of use permits and site plan amendments for a
number of establishments that have either live entertainment or live entertainment and dancing and are a part of the Clarendon Live Entertainment Group. The group meets twice a year to discuss concerns and find solutions to issues related to the concentration of live entertainment use. During the two-year review period, there were minimal reports of potential violations and community concerns were drastically reduced as compared to previous review cycles. However, the Police Department has noted issues with compliance of the use permit conditions related to noise for Don Tito’s, discussed further in this report. It was also noted that the establishment was serving cocktails to persons awaiting entry to the establishment. Management immediately corrected the issues identified when notified by Police. Code Enforcement has also noted violations of the Virginia Maintenance Code at Don Tito’s and Wilson Hardware. Both establishments are working with staff to correct the violations. Staff is recommending a short review cycle to monitor the establishment’s compliance with their use permit conditions. Three (3) restaurants have closed since the previous review (November 2018): Mr. Days (SP #194), Clarendon Ballroom (U-2984-00-1) and OZ Restaurant & Bar (U-3467-16-1), for which use permits/site plan amendments are being discontinued. New use permits were approved for
Ambar/Baba Bar (U-3533-19-1), Buena Vida/TTT/UP (SP362-U-19-1) and Renegade Coffee and Kitchen (SP194-U-19-3). No other issues have been identified at the time of this report.
BACKGROUND: The Clarendon Live Entertainment Group was formed in 2002 to connect
County staff, restaurant owners, and the surrounding communities and provide a forum to discuss concerns including, but not limited to, noise from patrons, police presence, parking, and other by-products of concentrated live entertainment use in Clarendon. The group currently meets on a bi-annual basis. Since 2002, the group of live entertainment establishments that operate in the Clarendon area has been reviewed by the County Board as a group every two years with administrative reviews in the intervening years. Currently, there are 16 establishments that participate in the group (Table 1).
Address / RPC: Please refer to the subject headings.
Neighborhood: The subject sites are located within or bounded by the
Clarendon-Courthouse Civic Association, the Lyon Park Civic Association, and the Lyon Village Citizen’s Association.
Zoning: All establishments are located in either the C-O Mixed Use District or C-3 General Commercial District.
GLUP: Establishments are located in the “High” Office-Apartment-Hotel, “Medium Density-Mixed Use”, or “Low” Office-Apartment-Hotel designation.

Restaurants in bold have had use permits approved since the last review period (Nov. 2016).
DISCUSSION: The following details the existing use and staff assessment:
REVIEWED USE:
Types of Uses: Live Entertainment Dancing
Outdoor Seating ASSESSMENT:
Zoning Enforcement: Zoning Enforcement conducted site visits and confirmed that the restaurants are generally operating in compliance with the use permit/site plan
amendment conditions, with some exceptions noted below:
The following restaurants had no issues during the review or minor issues, such as TIPS training, which were corrected immediately: O’Sullivan’s, Bracket Room, Don Tito’s, Mexicali Blues, Ambar/BABA Lounge, Buena Vida/TTT, Bar Bao,
Lyon Hall, G.O.A.T, Spider Kelly’s, Whitlow’s on Wilson, Renegade Kitchen and Coffee and Wilson Hardware.
The next set of restaurants had minor issues, such as incomplete TIPS training: Norrthside Social, Liberty Tavern, and Pamplona. None of these issues raised serious concerns from staff, and all applicants are working towards compliance. Code Enforcement: Code Enforcement has noted that two (2) establishments, Don Tito’s and Wilson Hardware have been cited for violations of the Virginia Maintenance Code. The applicants are working with staff to correct the violations.
Staff is awaiting the status the inspections for two establishments; O’Sullivan’s and Lyon Hall. During the inspection of the rest of the establishments within the CLEG, no issues were identified by staff.
Police Department: The Police Department reports no objections to the proposed renewals. There continues to be a decline in the severity and number of calls for service year to year. Additionally, 14 of the 16 establishments participate in the Arlington Restaurant Initiative (ARI) which provides trainings for responsible alcohol service (TIPS), fake identification detection, ABC code, and other process and best practices for establishments that serve alcohol. Refer to the attached memo for a summary of calls for service.
The Police Department has received several complaints about music being played on the roof. On October 31, 2020, officers observed that music was being piped from the second floor DJ to the roof and could be heard approximately two blocks away. Officers also observed customers being served alcoholic drinks while awaiting entry into the building. When notified the manager immediately corrected both problems (See attached memo). Fire Marshal’s Office: The Fire Marshal’s Office has not provided comment at the time of this report.
Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC): VA ABC has not provided comment at the time of this report.
CPHD, Planning: Staff supports renewal of all the active use permits and site plan amendments for live entertainment (and dancing and outdoor seating as noted in the subject listing). Zoning Enforcement conducted inspections of all the establishments and noted only minor issues of compliance of condition language for three (3) establishments regarding TIPS training. The establishments are working with Zoning Enforcement to come into compliance. Code Enforcement also conducted inspections and cited two establishments, Don Tito’s and Wilson Hardware, for violations of the Virginia
Maintenance Code. Both establishments are currently working with staff to correct the violations. Staff also recommends a three-month administrative review to ensure that the violations are corrected.
Since the last review in November 2018, the Police Department continues to see a decrease in the severity and number of calls for service. From 2018 to 2019 there was a 28.8% decrease in the number of calls to establishments within the CLEG. In 2020, calls have been significantly decreased due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, down 72%. Additionally, Police have noted that establishments are implementing strategies of the ARI training and proactively engaging with the Police Department prior to the escalation of negative behavior.
During this review the Police Department has noted ongoing issues with use permit compliance regarding noise from the Don Tito’s. Officers observed music from their Live Entertainment provider being piped to the rooftop deck. Condition #4 of the use permit limits the playing of Live Entertainment providers from being broadcast to outside speakers. The establishment was also observed selling alcoholic beverages to patrons waiting in line outside of the building. Once the management was notified that this was not allowed, the activity was immediately stopped. Staff is recommending a three (3) month administrative review to monitor the establishment’s compliance with its use permit conditions.
Staff believes that continuing the uses will not: a.) adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, b.) be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, and c.) conflict with the purposes of the master plans of the County. Therefore, staff recommends renewal of all subject use permits and site plan amendments with a one (1) year administrative review (November 2021) and three (3) months for Don Tito’s and Wilson Hardware (February 2021); and a County Board review in two (2) years (November 2022); and
discontinuance of three use permits and site plan amendments for establishments that have closed: Mr. Days (SP #194), Clarendon Ballroom (U-2984-00-1), and Oz Restaurant and Bar (U-3467-16-1).
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT: Level of Engagement:
Communicate & Consult
This level of engagement is appropriate because staff does not expect the continued implementation and operation of the proposed uses to adversely impact the
neighborhood, and staff maintains communication throughout the year with the
community and businesses through the Clarendon Live Entertainment Group meetings and other outreach.
Outreach Methods:
Public notice was given in accordance with the Code of Virginia §15.2-2204. Notices of the County Board hearing on the site plan amendments and use permits were
placed in the October 20, 2020 and October 27, 2020 issues of the Washington Times for the November 14, 2020 County Board Meeting.
Placards were placed in various locations surrounding the subject property within seven (7) days of the public hearing.
In addition to the above legal requirements:
Civic associations, the Clarendon Alliance, and Station Square Residents were informed of the applications via email communication. The subject properties are located within the Clarendon-Courthouse Civic Association and adjacent to the Lyon Village and Lyon Park Civic Association’s.
Community Feedback: The next CLEG meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2020. Clarendon-Courthouse Civic Association (CCCA): The CCCA responded that they are supportive of the renewals.
Lyon Village Citizen’s Association (LVCA): The LVCA has not provided a response at the time of this report.
Lyon Park Citizen’s Association: The Lyon Park Citizen’s Association has not provided a response at the time of this report.
Clarendon Alliance: The Clarendon Alliance has not provided a response at the time of this report.
Station Square Residences: The Station Square Residences has no issues with the subject renewals.
CONCLUSION: All establishments in Clarendon have generally been operating in compliance
with their conditions and have not had undue adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. Live entertainment within a focused commercial district is an appropriate use of land, and contributes to the active, urban character of Clarendon. Therefore, staff recommends the following:
