The GOAT Club Update for February 2020
On February 17, 2020, Neighborhood Planning Unit-F voted to recommend denial of The GOAT Club’s liquor license. LMMNA Traffic and Transportation Chair Jane Rawlings reports the application was denied for the following reasons:
Failure to meet distance requirements from single family residential
Failure to meet parking requirements
Failure to possess a restaurant license from Fulton County Health Department
The Atlanta Police Department is holding the GOAT Club liquor license application until proof of required parking is verified. The GOAT Club is removing “entertainment” element from its application meaning the distance requirement is no longer applicable, however, the parking and health department requirements still apply. The new application extends operating hours until 2:30 a.m.
Representative of Lindridge-Martin Manor Neighborhood Association have contacted nearby businesses; they have not agreed to lease parking spaces to the GOAT Club (contrary to what the GOAT Club said at the LMMNA meeting in February).
The GOAT Club will not be placed on a future NPU-F agenda for a vote on a revised application. However, we will notify neighbors if and when a License Review Board hearing will be scheduled.
Thanks to the Atlanta Police Department and Atlanta City Council Member Jennifer Ide for their assistance in dealing with this license application.
