The former Hangar 9 location held this same classification and liquor license riders except for package sales.

Liquor Code Provisions The On-Premises Primary classification permits the sale of alcohol for consumption on the business premises with sales of alcohol as the principal source of revenue. The minimum entry age for the establishment shall be eighteen (18) unless a special condition or license rider is issued to modify such entry age. Sixteen Plus Live Event Rider: This rider allows minors sixteen years of age and older to be present during a live instrumental, vocal, musical, theatrical, dance performance, live poetry reading, or similar live performance under certain conditions itemized in the CRC. Carbondale Revised Code - Procedure for Issuing a License The Local Liquor Control Commission may require evidence it deems necessary to make findings based upon the standards and factual criteria for issuing or denying a license as set out below. Following the hearing, the Commission may grant a liquor license, contingent upon receipt of outstanding items, if it is determined that the approval of the license would not be detrimental to the general welfare of the City. If the Commission finds that a change in the applicant's plans is needed in order to create grounds for the issuance of the license, the Commission may require such change(s) as a condition. The failure of the applicant at any time to adhere to or perform such condition shall be considered a violation of the Carbondale Liquor Code title. Criteria for denying an application for a liquor license: 1.The application does not contain all the information, supporting documents, or fees required by this title. 2.The issuance of the license would be in violation of any part of this title. 3.The applicant does not have sufficient financial assets to maintain the proposed liquor establishment or has demonstrated insufficient financial responsibility. 4.The applicant is a convicted felon who has not been adequately rehabilitated. 5.The issuance of the license can reasonably be expected to create excessive noise, traffic, parking, or litter problems. 6.The applicant has a history of problems with regard to violations of health regulations, laws, and ordinances at prior establishments owned or managed by the applicant. 7.The building in which the applicant seeks to operate does not meet building and zoning code ordinances and regulations. 8.The issuance of the license can reasonably be expected to create a nuisance such as excessive and repeated breaches of the peace. 9.The applicant has previously had a liquor license revoked or suspended in this or any other state or jurisdiction. 10. The applicant is seeking a restaurant license and does not provide sufficient facilities or menu items to operate as a restaurant. Outstanding Items:The $100 application fee has been paid and the criminal history checkdid not reveal anything that would preclude the applicant from holding a liquor license. The outstanding items are the pro-rated liquor license fee, the Illinois Business Authorization Certificate, a Jackson County Health Department permit, a certificate of insurance, and a valid lease or deed to the property.

Public Content Originating Department: Legal Background: The City of Carbondale is seeking the vacation of a portion of Walnut Street at the intersection of Eason Street. This portion of Walnut Street was permissibly encroached upon per a signed agreement between the owner of 300 S. Eason and the City of Carbondale in 1986. This described property consists of a driveway and land access to adjacent city-owned property to maintain drainage at the intersection of Walnut and Eason Streets. The property includes right-of-way from Walnut Street that is no longer necessary for the City to maintain and best legally records and resolves the 'spirit of agreement' contained in the City street file, although never recorded in the Jackson County's Recorder's Office. The separation of the right-of-way will allow the city to maintain access to the drainage system. To provide an opportunity for public input, the Carbondale City Council will hold a hearing on this matter. A notice of the public hearing was published in theSouthern Illinoisanon May 27, 2025. An Ordinance vacating the street will be considered later on the Council Agenda. Attached for City Council review are the following: 1. Location Map (Exhibit A) 2.
