PROPOSED resolution regarding 1216 18th Street NW (HPRB, ABC, DCRA)

Whereas the construction at this location has begun without appropriate permitting;

Whereas construction continued despite stop work orders issued by the District;

Whereas the construction team illegally removed stop work orders on multiple occasions;

Whereas ANC 2B negotiated an alcoholic beverage “Voluntary Agreement” for this location with certain limitations negotiated for the roof structure;

Whereas the current construction and the drawings before HPRB, as we understand them, are not consistent with the agreed-upon Voluntary Agreement;

Therefore be it resolved that ANC 2B objects to the project and urges that no construction permit be issued until the above issues are resolved;

Be it further resolved that ANC 2B asks the ABC Board to take note of these issues and consider whether, given the above issues, this licensee is fit for licensure.
