The Westlake Village City Council will hold a public hearing on extending the liquor permit for Lure Restaurant at 30970 Russell Ranch Road. The hearing is set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, at City Council Chambers, 31200 Oak Crest Drive.
The request, filed by applicant Matt Rek, seeks a time extension of Conditional Use Permit No. 06-001, which authorizes on-site alcohol sales at the restaurant, according to a public notice posted by the city. The notice labels the request Modification No. 3.
This is not the first renewal. The council held a similar hearing on Sept. 8, 2021, when David Cortina applied on behalf of the restaurant for Modification No. 2, also a time extension for alcohol sales at the same address.
The city has determined the permit extension is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
