RE: Public Hearing for PepperJax Grill Request for Waivers of 400’ Distance Limitation
___________________________________________________________________________________
Pursuant to City Code Section 4-206(C), a public hearing is scheduled for February 3, 2004 regarding a request by Lawrence 1, LLC d/b/a PepperJax Grill, 946 New Hampshire, that the City Commission waive the distance limitation in City Code section 4-206(A) prohibiting the sale and serving of cereal malt beverages within 400 feet of a school or church.
One church, Salvation Army Church, 946 New Hampshire, and one school, the Lawrence Arts Center Preschool, 940 New Hampshire, are within 400 feet of the proposed establishment. As required in the City Code, we have notified both the school and the church of the public hearing. Rich Forney, pastor of the Salvation Army Church is planning to attend the public hearing and will be opposing the waiver request.
I’ve also talked with Linda Reimond, Director of the Lawrence Arts Center Preschool. She informed me that the Preschool was taking a neutral position on the waiver request. She also mentioned that, as of the date of this memo, no representative of the Preschool was planning to attend the public hearing.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
