Uphold the Planning Commission's decision to deny the Type 20 Alcohol Beverage License

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously rejected a business owner's appeal to transfer their liquor license from one location on Harbour Way to another nearby address. This means the business cannot move their alcohol sales permit to the new location at 544 Harbour Way and must keep it at their current address or forfeit it entirely. The Planning Commission had already denied this same request, and the business owner appealed that decision to the council as a last resort. All eight council members present supported upholding the commission's original denial.
