Friends and Neighbors, On Nov. 8 I sent you the email below.
At the end of the day on Nov. 12 we evaluated input received.
We received 10 statements of support from neighbors on the email list.
Several cited the applicant's responsible past performance regarding alcohol and a desire to facilitate success of a local restaurant they enjoy.
Because input was positive/did not express concerns the action consistent with our policy is not to provide a position.
All members of the community are free to provide written comments to the hearing officer or attend the CABQ hearing in a personal capacity.

Subject: Request for Restaurant Beer and Wine License, Crazy Fish Sushi and Korean BBQ
Nob Hill Friends and Neighbors,
Our association has received the attached application for Restaurant Beer and Wine License with on premise consumption only including request for a waiver as the premise is within 300 ft. of a church (Calvary Church), Application No. 1170674 at 3015, 3017, 3019 Central Ave NE. The CABQ Alcohol Hearing Officer will hear the request on Nov 18, 2020. Comments can be accepted by donna@cabq.gov until 72 hours before the hearing.
When your association learns of a liquor license application we contact the applicant to gather information. We pass this to our email list to gather neighborhood input. If neighbors express questions or concerns we seek further information. We invite you to reply to all if you have a position on this request.

·Measures the applicant plans relative to security: none planned
Attached is a call summary from APD for the addresses.
At 6:30 pm on Nov. 12 NHNA will evaluate input received. When input is neutral or positive we generally don’t develop an association position. If input suggests strong concerns or directors have strong concerns we will call a special board meeting to explore an association position. We will notify the email list of this special meeting and all are welcome.
At that meeting the board generally considers the expected impact on community safety and quality of life and factors including but not limited to calls for police service at applicant's operations and security plans.
Hours of service and services offered are not generally part of the hearing officer’s consideration, but may affect the association’s position.
Locations near Residential Zone Districts (IDO 14-16-2-3) are problematic, particularly if affected neighbors oppose.
Naturally, neighbor input is crucial.
We will notify the email list, the liquor hearing officer, and the applicant of the association’s action coming from such a special meeting.
All members of the community are free to contact the applicant and to provide written comments to the hearing officer or attend the CABQ hearing in a personal capacity.
