47 West 20th, Jezalin's @ Limelight - application for a new liquor license

WHEREAS, Jezalin's at the Limelight, LLC ("Applicant") has notified Community Board Five of its intention to file an application for a new license to sell beer for retail off-premises consumption within the premises leased to Applicant on the ground floor of the Limelight Marketplace located at 47 West 20^th Street (the "Premises"); and

WHEREAS, The Premises consists of 1,400 square feet of space on the ground floor; and

WHEREAS, Applicant is aware that this location falls within the Ladies Mile Historic District and that the Premises itself is an individual landmark and understands that no alteration can be made to the exterior (including signage, windows, roof, doors, lighting, etc.) without approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission; and

WHEREAS, Although the Premises is in CB5's moratorium area, and there are residents who continue to object to any new liquor licenses on 20^th Street or 21^st Street or 6^th Avenue between 20^th Street and 21^st Street, the Premises falls within an exception to the moratorium prohibition since it contains less than 3,000 square feet and satisfies other requirements for the exception; and

WHEREAS, The Premises is in a completely enclosed portion of the Limelight Marketplace and will be operated as a gourmet food market; and

WHEREAS, Sale of alcohol will be limited to gourmet beer only for consumption off-premises; and

WHEREAS, The hours of operation will be from 10am-10pm; and

WHEREAS, There was no community objection to this application; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That Community Board Five recommends approval of a new license to Jezalin's at the Limelight, LLC to sell beer on the ground floor of the Limelight Marketplace located at 47 West 20^th Street for off-premises consumption.
