Numerous, actual criminal incidents have occurred within a 100-foot radius of the premises. Neighbors testified about the danger of the area and the drug activity on and near the premises. A liquor permit allowing carry-out beer would only contribute to the already declining condition of the area. In the case at bar, we have four permits already in the area. Schools, churches and a daycare are nearby.
School children go to the gas station.
Drug activity and other crimes occur on or near the premises. We note the common pleas court emphasized the fact that this was a new permit application. However, such emphasis was not necessarily error. The commission correctly points out that applications for renewal permits are treated differently than new permit applications in that a holder of a permit who seeks renewal thereof is entitled to the renewal, and the division shall renew the permit unless good cause for rejection is shown.
