All those providing comments at the June 19 Neighborhood Workshop were strongly opposed to the Special Exception proposed by the owners of the Crescent Club to provide live music later than 10pm every night. Read what the public had to say at the workshop.

June 16, 2023 —

On Monday, June 19 beginning at 6 pm, a virtual public workshop is scheduled to discuss a Special Exception to extend the hours of live music at the Crescent Club, which is near the south bridge to Siesta Key.

The application for Special Exception is to allow live performances until 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The special exception is required because County code only allows live music until 10 pm. After 10 pm, only recorded music is allowed. View the application.

Planning Commission and County Commission public hearings will be held at a later date
