Gateway/Langdon Park Moratorium Zone Approval Resolution of 2025

This bill approves a renewal and modification of the Gateway/Langdon Park Moratorium Zone in Washington, D.C., directly affecting businesses seeking alcohol licenses and residents in that neighborhood. It limits new nightclub licenses to three, removes restrictions on multipurpose facility licenses (like event venues), and allows restaurants and taverns to obtain permits for live entertainment. The moratorium aims to reduce nightlife-related disruptions, protect pedestrian safety, and prevent excessive concentration of licensed establishments near 2135 Queens Chapel Road, N.E. The changes extend the existing temporary pause on new nightclub licenses while adjusting other licensing rules based on community feedback.
