On September 24, 2010 the District Council approved final rulemaking continuing the 17th<\/sup> Street moratorium. The moratorium, initially established in 1990, creates a set of restrictions on the number and types of alcoholic beverage licenses that can be permitted within its boundaries.<\/p>\n

These boundaries are defined in the statute as:<\/p>\n

\u201cthe area bounded by a line beginning at New Hampshire Avenue and S Street, N.W.; continuing east on S Street, N.W., to 17th Street, N.W.; continuing south on 17th Street, N.W., to Riggs Place, N.W.; continuing east on Riggs Place, N.W., to 16th Street, N.W.; continuing south on 16th Street, N.W., to P Street, N.W.; continuing west on P Street, N.W., to 18th Street, N.W.; continuing north on 18th Street, N.W., to New Hampshire Avenue, N.W.; and continuing northeast on New Hampshire Avenue, N.W. to S Street, N.W.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s creation in 1990, the moratorium has been renewed four times: in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010.\u00a0 It is currently set to expire September 2013.<\/p>\n

Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2B is currently soliciting feedback about the future of the moratorium. Ultimately the Commission may take one of three courses of action with regards to the moratorium: take no action and allow the moratorium to expire, propose a continuation of the existing moratorium, or propose a new moratorium with different conditions.<\/p>\n

To make help in our decision, we are soliciting public comments on the moratorium. There are several ways to share your thoughts with us.<\/p>\n

We are holding several listening sessions:<\/p>\n
