ABRA POLICY COMMITTEE (APC) REPORT
- Commissioner Kate Gordon, Chair of the APC, presented the Committee’s recommendations from its April meeting. Gordon first recommended that the Commission not oppose to the new class “C” license request for XO Restaurant and Lounge (1426 L St, NW – 2F05), since the establishment is not located within 300 feet of any residence and there is thus no need for a Settlement Agreement. Gordon’s recommendation was approved by unanimous consent.
- The Commission then voted unanimously (7-0) in support of the APC’s recommendations to send letters to ABRA protesting the Class “A” license renewals for the following establishments: 1) Barrel House Liquors (1341 14th St, NW – 2F03); 2) 9 & P St. Liquor (1428 9th St, NW – 2F06); 3) Modern Liquors (901 M St, NW – 2F06), and; 4) A-1 Wine & Liquors (1420 K St, NW – 2F05). Gordon noted that the vote in opposition of the above four license renewals was a procedural matter to delay the ABRA hearing dates in order to give the APC and full ANC an opportunity to review the licenses.
- Lastly, the Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to send a letter to ABRA requesting that the agency enforce the noise standards in Vita/Mood Lounge’s (1318 9th St, NW – 2F06) Settlement Agreement, and rescind the license if not in compliance.
