Support Needed for Opposition to Proposed Social Club at 2214 E. Carson
South Side Community Council seeks resident support in opposition to zoning changes that would allow a proposed “social club” to open at the former St. Elmo’s bookstore (2214 E. Carson St.). The club holds a liquor license and, if approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustments, would operate until 3 a.m. seven days a week. The developer is Thomas Barnes, who was VP of operations at several high-profile nuisance bars operated by Thomas Jayson.
SSCC will present a formal letter of opposition to the ZBA at a public hearing tomorrow morning. We need a show of resident support to help our cause and ensure that this zoning exception doesn’t open the door for other such clubs to open in the neighborhood. You will not be asked to speak, but your presence alone will help send a strong message of community opposition to the decision makers.
Please share this message with your neighbors and join us downtown tomorrow. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:10 a.m. on the first floor of 200 Ross Street.
