This is a special review request to relocate a beer and wine license with gaming attached in an existing 4,482 square foot tenant space in a multi-tenant building located at 1595 Grand Avenue on lot 2A2, Partington Park Subdivision, 5th Filing.

The applicant is proposing to move an existing beer and wine license with gaming attached from a former golf course. The City requires a special review any time an existing or new on-premise liquor license is relocated within the city limits. The City does not control the number of on-premise liquor licenses that may be issued by the state. The City can specify appropriate zoning districts, separation requirements and provide for conditions of approval to mitigate any potential negative effects of the location on an on-premise liquor license.

On September 21, 2018, the applicant provided a written request to withdraw the application. Since the public hearing had already been noticed, the Zoning Commission will need to determine whether it wishes to accept the request for withdrawal. Planning staff recommends the Zoning Commission grant the withdrawal of SR 970. The Zoning Commission was cancelled on October 2nd due to lack of a quorum. The withdrawal will be considered on November 7, 2018.

Staff recommends the Zoning Commission grant the applicant's request to withdraw the special review.
