The Omaha City Council voted 7-0 to grant a Class A liquor license to Y Family convenience store at 7102 North 30th Street, conditioned on limits that no single containers of beer smaller than 24 ounces and no single containers of liquor smaller than 200 milliliters be sold.

Council members said the restrictions and a parking agreement reached between the applicant and the neighborhood association addressed neighbors’ principal concerns and allowed the council to move forward. The vote followed testimony from the applicant’s attorney and the neighborhood association president and an on-the-record confirmation from the applicant that the store would follow the size restrictions.

Attorney Peng Li, representing the applicant, told the council the store layout and a signed parking agreement with neighboring businesses were part of the applicant’s commitments. “The premise we have has 6 parking lots and we also have . . . 8 to 9 parking spots available for us to use as well, and there has been a written agreement signed,” Li said.

The neighborhood representative, Nancy Garter, president of the Miller Park Mini Lucid Neighborhood Association, said the association worked with the applicant over the past week and that the arrangement addressed the group’s parking and litter concerns. “We worked with the family and we’re looking forward to having them there,” Garter said. “They’ve also agreed to take care of something that we value greatly, which is keeping the property clean.”

Applicant Yurdit (address given on the record as 7102 North Thirtieth Street) confirmed in person that the business would adhere to the container-size condition entered into the record: beer 24 ounces or larger and liquor 200 milliliters or larger. The applicant and neighborhood also discussed an informal agreement that no more than 35% of inventory would be alcohol; council members said the percentage was a neighborhood commitment rather than a licenseable condition but cited it as a factor in approving the application.

Councilmember Sean Johnson moved to approve the license with the conditions; the motion passed unanimously on roll call.

The council read the size restrictions into the record before the final vote and waived a rule necessary to act on the item at this meeting. The council did not attach an enforceable inventory-percentage limit to the license; that percentage was described on the record as a neighborhood agreement between the applicant and the association.

Item 11 had been postponed from a prior meeting; council members emphasized the role of local engagement and the written parking agreement in reaching a resolution.
