Los Angeles zoning officials hold a public hearing at which they approve a conditional use permit allowing alcohol service at the Cinerama Dome and ArcLight Hollywood complex, a step that moves the theaters closer to reopening after a long closure. Variety reports that the Office of Zoning Administration approves the alcohol permit, enabling the venue to restart film screenings under the approved condition. The owners, Dome Center LLC, do not provide a specific reopening date at the hearing, according to Variety, and no timeline is announced publicly. The Los Angeles Times similarly reports that approval for alcohol sales is likely to support reopening “in the near future.” Taken together, the reports indicate that the alcohol-serving authorization is a key remaining regulatory hurdle, but the reopening timeline has not been definitively set. The approval process centers on local zoning requirements and is tied to the theaters’ ability to operate as planned once other operational steps are completed.
