Town Council Preview: Elections, Candidate's Forum, Liquor Permit

Tuesday's Altadena Town Council meeting will include discussion of a liquor permit at a proposed Indian restaurant, an update on June's Town Council elections, and a candidates forum for Town Council candidates.

Liquor Permit

The liquor permit is for a proposed Indian restaurant and retail complex at 2535 E. Washington Boulevard.  The issue has been heard twice by the County's Regional Planning Commission and once by the Town Council's Land Use Committee.

The Land Use Committee voted in favor of granting a permit that would limit sales hours to midnight on weekends and 11 p.m. on weekday nights.  The county will ultimately decide on the permit.
