Recommended Action:
This is a quasi-judicial issue where Council's action may only be based on evidence presented at the hearing.
Conduct hearing to receive evidence regarding whether the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood and the desires of the adult inhabitants of the neighborhood support the issuance of the license applied for in this application.
If the matter appears to be clear-cut, Council should make a decision after the hearing and direct the City Attorney to prepare written findings for consideration at the following meeting (January 5, 2022) consistent with the decision made after the hearing.
