Council approves two beer-permit distance exemptions after uncontested public hearings
Summary
The council granted exemptions from minimum distance requirements for beer permits to Mama Bread (1600 Woodland St.) and Groceries Etc. (95 S. 16th St.) after public hearings with no speakers in opposition.
The Metropolitan Council approved two resolutions exempting local businesses from minimum-distance requirements for beer permits after brief, uncontested public hearings.
Councilmember Capp opened public hearings for RS2025-1133, which would exempt Mama Bread at 1600 Woodland Street, and RS2025-1134, which would exempt Groceries Etc. at 95 South 16th Street from distance restrictions for beer permits. Committee reports showed the Government Operations and Regulations Committee recommended approval on both items by unanimous committee votes.
When the council opened each public hearing, no members of the public rose to speak in opposition and those in support declined to address the chamber. After closing each hearing, the council approved both resolutions; each was recorded as passing its first and final reading on the floor.
The votes were voice votes following the committee recommendations and no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript. Council materials and the clerk will publish the final ordinance language and any conditions attached to the exemptions.
