alcohol consumption

Hi all -

I think one thing needs to be clarified and this is an oversight on my
part in reading the draft of the NNA minutes: the NNA meeting minutes
reported that The Loop location is zoned GR - general retail - and that
Brian and Orion are needing a CS or CS-1 zoning to sell beer and wine.

I believe that Brian and Orion told us at the NNA meeting that the
location is zoned CS already, which would allow retail of wine and beer
(no consumption on the property).

I meant to say "voting to change a zoning", not "voting to change a permit"
Sorry again for being imprecise. I do not feel in my element, when talking
permits zoning, etc etc.

Again, thank you for the clarification. Very helpful.

Thank you for the clarification.

This is the rule for grandfathered uses; i.e.

Mary, I do not want to get into a long discussion (I am not pro, and I am
not against, really.
