[Neighbors] Request for Winegrower 1st offsite location with on and off premise consumption, 3619 Copper Ave. NE

[Patricia Mcpheron]

I have a question about this request. What does  "Offsite Location Liquor License with On and Off Premise Consumption with Patio Service” mean. Off Premise consumption is not clear to me as to how this would look. Is this buying a drink and taking it home? Is it buying a bottle of wine and taking it home? Is this the same as a convenience store that sells beer? I did not think off premise consumption was allowed in the nob hill area. Is this an exception that is being requested?

As I stated in 2021, parking would be a problem and has become a problem, especially during The Stage's events. The existing 17 off-street parking spaces on the property, while grandfathered in, do not accommodate the parking needs of current events.

If input suggests strong concerns or directors have strong concerns our board will explore an association position. 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.
