Summary of the decision
VA-16-04-012 — SUMO JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE
Request: Variance in the C-1 zoning district to allow on-site consumption of beer, wine and liquor 975 ft. from a religious use (Aloma United Methodist Church) in lieu of 1,000 ft.
Decision: Approved
Hearing: The applicant operates a sit down family steakhouse restaurant. It is short of the 1000 feet separation requirement by only twenty-five (25) feet. Staff advised the BZA this was a very minor request and the conditions of approval would allow for future owners to come back to BZA for further approval. The BZA agreed with the conditions and approved the variance request. There was no opposition at the hearing.
