Preston Royal Liquor Sale Dilemma

The proposed grocery store going into the southeast corner of Preston Royal has filed a request for a variance to the distance required to sell beer and wine near a school. Central Market wants to sell adult beverages within in 300 feet of St. Mark's School of Texas. The City Council will consider their request on Monday, November 7, 2011, at 1:00 p.m.

Under the current laws, the City Council may allow the variance if enforcing the law is not in the best interest of the public, constitutes waste of land or other resources, creates an undue hardship on the store, does not serve its intended purpose, or is in the best interest of the community.

If you have an opinion on the matter, attend the meeting. If you have questions about the request contact Neva Dean, Planning Manager with the Department of Sustainable Development & Construction at (214) 670-5803 or  dean@dallascityhall.com.  [where: 75230]
