Over the last couple of months there has been a ongoing debate on Liquor Licenses within ANC5C. A lot of the debate stems from the restaurant liquor license application from local coffee shop Big Bear Cafe in Bloomingdale DC. During the often time heated discussion on how the anc should handle liquor license applications talks of a ABC guide arose. The guide would hopefully help the commission better determine what businesses they should give licenses to and  what license should be given. 

At the last 5c committee of the whole meeting commissioners Gigi Ransom and Sylvia Pickney presented a draft guide. Heres a link to the draft ANC5C guide on DC alcoholic beverage licenses.
