PURPOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING
• The purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear comments from the public concerning Bill
837, a proposed ordinance amending Subsection N(1) of Section 45-36, General
Provisions, of Article III of Appendix C-Zoning of the Code, prohibiting retail sale of
alcoholic beverages within 500 feet of a church, synagogue, temple or other place of
worship within zoning district C-3.
STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Manny Grinn, 536 Greenway Drive, addressed the Council concerning the distance
between the Christian Science Church and the Twin City Mall. He stated that the
proposed change in distance restrictions for the sale of alcoholic beverages in the C-3
Zoning District is being done to accommodate the developers so that they will be able to
bring in more businesses. Further, Mr. Grinn criticized the wording on the agenda which
relates to this issue, and suggested that the phrase "within zoning district C-3" be placed
after the words "sale of alcoholic beverages".
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further comments from the public, the meeting adjourned at 7:23 p.m.
