SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (APRIL 29, 2015)
The applicants were present. Staff presented the item and a list of those
businesses within 1,500 square feet of the site with some level of alcohol sales.
Staff stated the primary purpose of requiring a CUP in these cases was to allow
for an additional level of citizen input, beyond the hearing held by the State ABC.
The applicant stated the ABC had provisionally approved his permit, subject to
obtaining zoning approval. Staff stated the notices to area property owners were
sent on April 9 and the Neighborhood Association notice had been sent on April
15 and there had been no calls or inquiries received by staff.
The Committee determined there were no outstanding issues and forwarded the
item to the full Commission.

site contains 6 buildings and the applicant's space is in the building nearest
Rodney Parham.
The applicants acquired the store in November 2013 and are working to
become a full service grocery store. Days and hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. —
9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and 10:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m., Sundays.
Hours may be expanded to 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
One principal purpose of the conditional use review for this type of use is to
provide a forum for citizen input beyond the hearings held at State level by the
ABC. Notices are sent to area neighborhood associations and property owners
as required by Commission bylaws. A sign is posted on the building, also as
required by the bylaws. Notice of the hearing is posted in the newspaper. As of
this writing, staff has received no comment.
Staff provides the Commission with a list of businesses in the area with some
level of alcohol sales. A neighborhood, for the purpose of defining zoning impact
is defined elsewhere in the Code as those properties within 1,500 feet of the site
under consideration.
Based on information from State Alcohol Beverage Control and from a survey
conducted by staff, it appear the following businesses located within a 1,500 foot
radius around the site have alcohol sales of some type:
