Staff Present: Kristina Schweinler, License Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP); and Jean Birkholz, Council Research. Others Present: Greg Gallas, property owner and Moise Cortes, business owner. Ms. Moermond explained the process. When this type of request is made, a notification goes out to the neighborhood. In this case, one letter of concern was received from the neighborhood requesting that this license not be granted. Ms. Moermond explained that there are tluee (3) possible results of this heazing: 1) a recommendation from the Legislative Hearing Officer to the City Council that the license be granted without conditions; 2) that the license be granted with conditions; or 3) that the matter be referred to an Administrative Law Judge, which is an option if there is no way that this particulaz use would work in this location or the owner is not agreeable to conditions that the Legislative Hearing Officer thinks is absolutely necessary to make this situation work. The City Council will decide by way of resolution. Ms. Schweinler, license inspector (LIEP), provided a staff report. She explained that this is a license application for On Sale Liquor, On Sale Sunday, a Restaurant with more than 12 seats and an Alarm Permit. It is the same license that has been operated at Parrish's Night Club. At this time, staff is recommending approval with no conditions. Ms. Moermond asked if Mr. Gallas had also leased the building to Parrishes. He responded that he just bought the building and is now leasing it to Mr. Cortes. The business has not yet opened. Ms. Moermond asked about the bars in the immediate vicinity. Ms. Schweinler responded that this building is kind of an island onto itself. Farther up West 7'�', there's Famous Dave's, Champ's, Bucca's, etc. Ms. Moermond asked about the parking situation. Ms. Schweinler reported that there is ample pazking forthis use. Ms. Moermond recommended approval of the requested application. The resolution will be brought into the City Council meeting tomorrow under suspension by Councilmember Harris.
