3. That there is no demonstrated need in the area for additional sales of packaged alcoholic beverages such as are permitted by the utilization of an SDM license;
4. 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
5. 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 543, as amended.
