Neighbors,

Our Association received 17 expressions of support and 11 in opposition for this request.

We will not hold a special meeting. As many of you recalled, the NHNA held several meetings in the summer of 2021 on this project when considering a Conditional Use Request for a Taproom/Tasting Room by the same applicant. A number of issues and concerns were raised during that process, and the applicant addressed many of them, as described in their letters to the NHNA and as noted in the findings when the Conditional Use request was granted by the Zoning Hearing Examiner. In the current discussion on the Liquor License Request on this email list, we could not identify any issues or concerns that had not been raised and discussed in the meetings for the Conditional Use Request, so we do not think another meeting will be productive.

For the same reason, the NHNA will not develop a statement of support or opposition. However, we will send a letter to the Liquor Hearing Officer describing the input we have received, as well as the conditions stipulated in the ZHE’s notice of decision.

Hearings for liquor license requests are public, and anyone can submit written comments or attend the hearing and voice their opposition to or support for a specific request. This request will be heard by the CABQ Liquor Hearing Officer on Tuesday, April 19th. Note that the deadline to provide written input or your intention to speak at the hearing is 72 hours before the hearing.

The Board of Directors deeply appreciates the civil tone of the discussion and the respect shown by all its participants. We all share the common goal of wanting the best for our neighborhood and our neighbors, and that came through in the discussion.

If you are interested in learning more about our Association’s work on this topic, or any of the other activities our Association undertakes, why not join one of our committees? Community Engagement and Communication, Newsletter, Tree Canopy Restoration, Public Safety and Quality of Life, Historic Preservation, and Urban Planning are all looking for more participation and support. We’d love to have you!

·Measures the applicant plans relative to security: Site Security – Full exterior coverage by surveillance cameras and interior cameras paired with standard alarm system. North side of the building has been secured with additional fencing, removing windows and motion lights and required exterior lighting per building code. Regarding operational security, these will be the same as High and Dry (another neighborhood location) staff is all required to hold server’s licenses and follow all alcohol service procedures per state training.

The CABQ Liquor Hearing Officer will hear the request on Tuesday, April 19.

We are attaching calls for service to APD for High and Dry Brewing, 529 Adams St NE

At 5 pm on April 13 NHNA will evaluate input received. When input is neutral or positive we generally don’t develop an association position which results in approval. If input suggests strong concerns or directors have strong concerns we will call a special meeting and alert the community through our email list.

Areas of concern sometimes form around expected impact on community safety and quality of life and factors including but not limited to calls for APD service at applicant's existing operations and security plans. Locations near Residential Zone Districts (IDO 14-16-2-3) can be problematic, particularly if affected neighbors oppose. Hours of service and services offered are not generally part of the hearing officer’s consideration, but may affect the association’s position. Naturally, neighbor input is crucial.

We will notify the email list, the liquor hearing officer, and the applicant of the association’s action.

All members of the community are free to provide written comments to the hearing officer or attend the CABQ hearing in a personal capacity.
