No action was taken by the City Council on a conditional use permit request by Midnite Rodeo of Clinton, LLC to operate an entertainment facility near Roses.

The issue will be taken up again at the July meeting, however planning officials said at Tuesday night’s Council meeting that Paul Scoggins of Midnite Rodeo told them of his intention to withdraw his request. Scoggins was not present at the meeting and no formal withdrawal has yet been submitted.

Scoggins initially came before the Planning and Zoning Board in March and told members the business would be open two to three days a week, from around 7 p.m. to no later than 2 a.m. Scoggins said the entertainment facility would be available for weddings, birthdays, political rallies, fundraisers and single-night promotions that would include bands.

The Planning and Zoning Board did not take any action, or offer any recommendation to the Council at that time. However, the board took action at its recent May meeting, voting 4-1 to deny the request.

That vote came in the wake of a report from local police officials of Scoggins’ involvement in a similar club venture in Fayetteville known as the “Palamino,” which was closed down after being deemed a public nuisance.
