Committee votes to deny Kenosha Food & Liquor application citing overconcentration ordinance
Summary
Committee members moved to deny a new Class A liquor license for Kenosha Food and Liquor at 1916 63rd Street under ordinance 10.034(c) and section 4(f), citing an overconcentration of similar establishments and neighborhood complaints about trash and stacking of crates.
The committee considered Kenosha Food and Liquor's application for a new Class A liquor license at 1916 63rd Street. One member moved to deny under ordinance 10.034(c) (overconcentration within 2,640 feet) and section 4(f), citing constituent complaints about litter and crates in adjacent alleys and asserting the business had not been a "positive influence" in that community.
The motion to deny carried by voice vote and the committee directed the recommendation to council. Committee members referenced specific ordinance citations during the motion: "10.034 c" and "4 f." The applicant was not present to rebut those community concerns, per the committee record.
