Last Wednesday, local attorney Doug Norberg walked along the 1900 block of South Broadway, where he and his business partner own half of the east side of the block.Norberg stopped in front of 1912 S. Broadway, a century-old theater that he and Paul Yaft, the business partner, bought for $1.6 million in 2018 and renovated during the pandemic.
Neighbors complained about noise, trash and reports of violence that they blamed on the parties. They also took issue with a quirk in city licensing rules — “a loophole,” as Platt Park’s then-councilman put it — that let the Elite Event Center acquire so-called special event liquor permits. Those permits are designed for charities, not for-profit nightclubs.Yaft and Norberg now plan to operate the Jewel Theater themselves.
“I just don’t want to risk it affecting our block. “ … I don’t want there to be parking issues, there to be trash, there to be safety concerns, there to be loud music.” Yaft and Norberg say they will do what they can. They plan to post signs asking guests not to park in the neighborhood — “But if somebody says, ‘Screw you, buddy, this is public parking,’ I can’t tow them,” Norberg notes — and may lease parking lots from neighboring companies on event nights. They may also run a shuttle from the theater to RTD’s Evans Station.“The neighbors ideally want it to be a library,” he added, “but libraries don’t pay the mortgage.
