Background
Munch seeks the issuance of a Restaurant Class B-2 liquor license for the property located at 104 N. Marion Street. Munch has been in operation at that location since 2011 as a vegetarian restaurant and seeks to add beer and wine table service through the issuance of a B-2 license. At its special meeting of August 31, 2020, the Liquor Control Review Board (“LCRB”) found that Munch met all of the applicable requirements for the issuance of a B-1 license and voted to unanimously recommend that the license be issued. Prior to the issuance of the license, the Village Code must be amended to include Munch as a B-2 licensee.
