Municipal officials agree conditions have been met for Chauncey Social’s to open a bar in Scottsdale.
On Feb. 4, Scottsdale City Council approved on consent resolution No. 11699, finding that criteria for a Conditional Use Permit had been met for the 6,500-square-foot space inside an existing restaurant at 17767 N. Scottsdale Road.
Chauncey Social is owned by BCB Group Investments LLC, according to a city staff report.
Located inside Chauncey Lane Marketplace, the total 10-acre parcel is a mixed-use development comprised of two commercial pad buildings with restaurant, retail and office uses.
The east portion of the property includes a four-story, multifamily apartment complex.
Chauncey Social’s proposal includes adding a bar use to an existing restaurant space on the first floor of a three-story commercial building. The restaurant building includes an enclosed outdoor patio.
Plans include serving liquor between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 a.m.
Conditional Use Permits, which may be revocable, conditional or valid for a specified time period, may be granted only when expressly permitted after the Planning Commission has made a recommendation and City Council has found the application meets all criteria.
Such criteria include not being detrimental to the public; characteristics of the application are compatible with surrounding areas; and the uses do not disrupt existing balance of daytime and nighttime uses.

I first started my journalism portfolio at the age of 15 while in high school before going on to study at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Being in the journalism field is the only professional avenue I was ever interested in, and have worked hard covering topics from school boards to hard news while working for the Independent, where I have been awarded for my reporting.
