Re: Petition 2008-06-02-22 - Amani Station Investors, Inc.
Dear Mr. Alkhafaji:
At the 968th Public Hearings and Regular Meeting held by the City Planning
Commission on September 23, 2008, in the Livonia City Hall, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
#09-86-2008 RESOLVED, that pursuant to a Public Hearing having been
held by the City Planning Commission on September 23, 2008,
on Petition 2008-06-02-22 submitted by Amani Station
Investors, Inc. requesting waiver use approval to operate an
SDM liquor license at 37449 Five Mile Road, located on the
southwest corner of Five Mile Road and Newburgh Road in the
Northeast ¼ of Section 19, which property is zoned C-2, the
Planning Commission does hereby deny Petition 2008-06-02-22
for the following reasons:
1. That the petitioner has failed to affirmatively show that the
proposed use is in compliance with all of the general
waiver use standards and requirements as set forth in
Section 19.06 of the Zoning Ordinance;
2. That the proposed use fails to comply with Section
10.03(h)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance requiring a 500 foot
separation between SDM licensed establishments in a C-1
District;
To: Mr. Alkhafaji September 24, 2008
Re: Petition 2008-06-02-22 - Amani Station Page 2
3. That this area of the City is currently well served with
existing SDM licensed establishments;
4. That there is no demonstrated need for additional SDM
licensed establishments in this area of the City;
5. That the petitioner has not sufficiently demonstrated that
the proposed use would be compatible to and in harmony
with the principle use of the subject property as well as
other uses in the surrounding area; and
6. That the proposal is contrary to the goals and objectives of
the Zoning Ordinance which, among other things, are
intended to insure suitability and appropriateness of uses.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that notice of the above hearing was
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.05 of
Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
Please be advised that the petitioner has 10 days to appeal the decision in
writing to the Livonia City Council, pursuant to Section 19.08 of the Zoning
Ordinance No. 5 43, as amended.
Very truly yours,
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
