Cleveland City Council has passed an emergency resolution to formally object to a new liquor permit application for a business proposed for 4611 West 130th Street. The resolution, Ord. No. 583-2026, targets a request by JJ 4611 West LLC (doing business as JJ 4611 West) for new C1 and C2 liquor permits.
What's in the file
The emergency resolution, introduced by Council Member Kazy, records the city's formal objection to Permit No. 10013657-1. According to the 583-2026-FOR ADOPTION document, the council cites several reasons for the objection:
- The area is already saturated with other liquor outlets and is identified as a high crime area.
- The applicant may not qualify as a permit holder or has previously operated in disregard of state or local laws and regulations.
- The location has not met building, safety, or health requirements of the city or county.
- The physical arrangement of the establishment may prevent reasonable access for law enforcement or Division of Liquor Control agents.
- The location's relationship to the neighborhood may substantially interfere with public decency, sobriety, peace, or good order.
The resolution directs the Clerk of Council to send two certified copies of the objection, along with letters requesting that a hearing be held in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County.
