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). Brian and Orion were going to check
on that with City zoning. If CS is what they have and all they need,
they don't have to get the location rezoned.
