NP Mart 36 Liquor License
At a glance
- What: Class D liquor license and manager application for NP Mart 36 (Beatrice Petroleum, LLC), at the former Kohl's Pharmacy site on North 27th Street.
- Result: Council recommended denial, 7-0, on September 21, 2026, because part of the existing building is within 100 feet of a residential neighborhood.
- Path to approval: The resolution lets the City Attorney tell the state commission the recommendation is now approval once the applicant complies with zoning.
Hearing (September 21)
- Houghton, for the applicant, said talks with the City Attorney's Office were ongoing and cited a roughly $3 million investment.
- Peters (listed as City Attorney in the record) said the city has no opposition to the redevelopment plan and the proposed footprint looks compliant; with construction not begun, the license is paused so the final building stays more than 100 feet away.
- Nazir (owner and president) said the existing L-shaped building lies partly within 100 feet of a protected location; the plan demolishes and rebuilds beyond the threshold, and if the building is not demolished the license will not be pursued.
- Resolutions A-95944 (license) and A-95945 (manager) moved by Shobe, seconded by Carlson, both 7-0.
