This ordinance approves a zoning exception (E-25-60) for Kassar Nightlife V, LLC, at 3909 Blanding Blvd to establish a facility for the retail sale and service of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption. The property, previously an adult entertainment center, will be converted into a liquor store. The application was filed on November 24, 2025, and the Planning Department recommended approval, finding it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding commercial area. The site is located at the intersection of Blanding Blvd and Confederate Point Rd. A companion waiver (WLD-25-16) to reduce the minimum liquor distance to a nearby church was also approved. The ordinance specifies that failure to commence the use within one year will render the exception invalid.

Residents will see the conversion of a former adult entertainment venue into a liquor store at 3909 Blanding Blvd. This change is expected to have a neutral to positive impact on the neighborhood character and traffic, as it replaces a less desirable use with a retail establishment focused on off-premises sales.
