Neighbors to drop opposition to bar
Wednesday, April 19, 2023 by Jo Clifton
Members of the Heritage Neighborhood Association, which met Monday night, have agreed not to oppose the rezoning of property at 3100 Guadalupe St. to allow operation of a cocktail lounge on the site. Jolene Kiolbassa, president of the association, said Tuesday that her group had reached an agreement with the tenant and would no longer be opposing the rezoning. Neighbors wanted to make sure that the lounge did not have amplified music and would close at midnight, among other things. The item is on Thursday’s City Council agenda. Although many neighbors are still not happy about the prospect of adding a bar to the neighborhood, many felt that they would not win a contest with the property owner, especially given city staff’s support of the zoning change.
