Village moves forward with liquor‑license expansions for Addison Park District and Nona’s Pizzeria
Summary
The Village of Addison on May 19 advanced first‑reading ordinances to increase Class C1 liquor licenses for the Addison Park District at 120 East Oak Street and Class D licenses for VLMA LLC d/b/a Nona's Pizzeria at 426 West Lake Street.
The Village of Addison on May 19 advanced first‑reading ordinances to increase the number of liquor licenses for two separate applicants: the Addison Park District for 120 East Oak Street (Class C1, on‑premise consumption) and VLMA LLC doing business as Nona's Pizzeria at 426 West Lake Street (Class D, full liquor).
At the committee meeting, members of the Liquor Advisory Commission reported they met on May 6 and reviewed both requests. The commission recommended the Nona's Pizzeria request unanimously after the applicant provided an updated floor plan within 24 hours. The board recorded first readings of both ordinances later the same evening.
Pompeo Rodriguez, representing the Addison Park District, explained that the district currently operates under a daily permit process (through Pederma) that allows beer, wine and champagne under 15% alcohol content for rentals at Links and Tees but requires weekly permit requests for events at 120 East Oak. Rodriguez said the Park District seeks a Class C1 license to allow on‑premise liquor consumption at the 120 East Oak rental space, primarily for Friday and Saturday rentals. He told the committee the Park District will work with bartending services; the bartenders will be VASID certified and will carry dram shop (DRAM) insurance.
Vince Liotta, speaking for Nona’s Pizzeria, told the committee the establishment has an existing kitchen and sprinkler system and seeks a Class D license to operate as a full‑service pizzeria with on‑site alcohol service. The Liquor Advisory Commission asked for an updated floor plan; the applicant provided it within 24 hours and the commission forwarded a favorable recommendation.
Both items were advanced as first readings; neither ordinance—by code amendment to Chapter 3—was presented as final adoption during the May 19 meeting. The committee minutes and board actions note there were no objections recorded and motions carried in committee and were placed on first reading by the Village Board.
