As always, lots of bars and restaurants are requesting Community Board support for their liquor license application to the State Liquor Authority. Take a look at the list below to see if there's one near you.
Don't forget that the Community Board is just the first step in the process. It's the State Liquor Authority that decides whether to grant a license. Even if the CB rejects the bar, you still have to go up to the SLA hearing (preferably with letters from local electeds-- councilmember, State Senator and State Assemblymember) if you want to ensure denial. The SLA was responsive to community demands last year, but the economy has changed, and the SLA will change with it.
Here's the list of liquor license applicants on the agenda of the CB3 SLA committee Monday, October 20, 6:30pm, 200 East 5th Street (corner of the Bowery)

It would be helpful for people if you would put a note on your website that explained that many applicants withdraw for various reason, and may show up the following month. All withdrawals are indicated on CB website at end of day the Friday before the meeting. Residents should check the website before attending the meeting for updated agenda.
ReplyDeleteRob - what is the status of the 197a rezoning? Its in the mayors office but when does he have to sign it or not?
ReplyDelete#1 -- Good point. I'll try to announce the withdrawals.
ReplyDelete#2 -- The City Planning Commission will issue its final plan by the 11th. Then City Council has 50 days to vote on a proposal. The Council will presumably hold a hearing before they vote. Possibly the Council will augment the plan with additional legislation regarding the rezoning area.
The CB is supposed to push for the addition of anti-harassment and anti-demolition measures, but I heard recently that they might settle for a memorandum of understanding with the City on these issues. If that happens, it is unlikely those measures will ever be realized.
The CB is also committed to asking the city to increase the affordable housing component.
