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 request was introduced and reviewed by the Land Use and Zoning Committee and the Planning and Development Department. The exception was granted after finding it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with surrounding uses, and not detrimental to traffic, environment, or public services. The property is located in the Commercial Community/General-1 (CCG-1) District. The ordinance specifies that failure to commence the approved use within one year will render the exception invalid.

Residents in the 3909 Blanding Blvd area will see the closure of an adult entertainment establishment and its replacement with a liquor store. This change is expected to have no negative impact on traffic, environment, or public services, and the property will continue to be used for commercial purposes.
