Draft Resolution Opposing the Proposed 14th and U Liquor License Moratorium 

5/4/2013

3 Comments

 
In December, a group a residents petitioned the District government to enact a moratorium, or temporary cease, on the issuance of liquor licenses in the 14th Street and U Street corridors. The petition, which discusses a number of critical issues like public safety and noise, asks for a five year halt on all new liquor licenses, for all classes of establishments, in an 1800 foot radius around 1211 U St NW. 

After three public meetings and dozens of phone calls and email exchanges with residents, I have written a draft resolution opposing the moratorium. I will introduce it at our May 8th ANC 2B meeting.

This is the culmination of months of effort from colleagues like Kevin O’Connor (2B02) and Will Stephens (2B08) and me who have tried to set up a process that is fair and reasonable for collecting input and making a decision.

I welcome your thoughts on the draft resolution – there will not be a ton of time at the May 8th meeting for public input and deliberation, so please let me know what you think as soon as you can.

Finally, thank you so much to everyone who participated in this process, no matter what your opinion may be. We have some of the most thoughtful, intelligent and dedicated residents in our neighborhood, which makes it such a great place to live.

The draft resolution is available at the Dupont ANC’s website: here

Great. Pet peeve, though: it's the "D.C. Council" not "City Council". Washington hasn't had a "city council" since 1871. :-)

Thanks! That's a really good point. I'll make the change before I introduce the resolution tomorrow.
