of removing the debris from the pipe to assess the damage.

PRIME has switched the design over from their site group to their transportation group. The engineering working on
it is updating the plans and said he would get me an updated timeline on when he expects to be finished soon. Once

up to the edge of pavement. PRIME is checking to see if the design can be updated to stay off this property all together.

stormwater component with Ryan at PRIME. PRIME to send plans to review ASAP. A new storm inlet will be installed

PRIME said they sent the disturb limits to KYTC to review and they will send them to me by 10.2. They expect to have
Riverfront
all the plan updates by the beginning of December. Lochner is going to do the Environmental. The path may be

WITHIN THE CITY FROM FOUR (4) TO SEVEN (7).
WHEREAS, pursuant to KRS 241.069, a city may petition the Kentucky Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control for an increase in the number of quota retail package licenses available
within its jurisdiction, provided that the requested increase does not exceed the statutory ratio of
one (1) license per one thousand five hundred (1,500) residents and the city demonstrates that the
increase is necessary; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bellevue has experienced continued residential, commercial, &
economic growth and development in recent years; and
WHEREAS, Bellevue's population has increased since the 2020 Census, with the United
States Census Bureau estimating the City's population at 5,847 as of July 1, 2025, representing an
increase of approximately 5.5 percent from the 2020 population estimate base; and

the community, including new residential development, redevelopment of commercial properties,

approximately 200 new living units, a public parking garage, commercial, and retail spaces

residents and consumers living within the City; and
WHEREAS, Bellevue has continued to attract new locally owned and operated businesses
and has received interest from additional businesses seeking to locate within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City's existing quota of four (4) retail package licenses limits the City's
ability to accommodate additional businesses seeking to provide package sales of alcoholic
beverages, potentially limiting business investment and economic development opportunities
within Bellevue; and
WHEREAS, Bellevue's location along the Ohio River and its proximity to downtown
Cincinnati and surrounding Northern Kentucky communities make the City a regional destination
for residents, businesses, visitors, and consumers; and

WHEREAS, Bellevue benefits from increasing tourism and visitor activity throughout the

State Route 8 and other major transportation corridors serving the City; and

private investment, support existing businesses, attract new businesses, increase the City's tax base,
and strengthen Bellevue's position as a destination within the Northern Kentucky and Greater

WHEREAS, the City Council believes that increasing the City's quota retail package
licenses from four (4) to seven (7) would provide additional opportunities for qualified businesses
to locate and operate within Bellevue while supporting the City's broader economic development
and revitalization objectives; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City's current and anticipated residential
growth, commercial development, tourism and visitor activity, regional market position, ongoing
revitalization, and demand for additional retail opportunities demonstrate that an increase in the
number of quota retail package licenses is necessary and appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the requested increase of three (3) licenses,
for a total quota of seven (7) quota retail package licenses, is reasonable and proportionate to the
City's current and anticipated population, economic activity, and commercial growth.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF BELLEVUE, KENTUCKY,
THAT:
The Mayor and Board of Council hereby approve and authorize the City of Bellevue to
petition the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for an increase in the City's
quota retail package licenses from four (4) to seven (7), representing an increase of three (3)
additional quota retail package licenses.

authorized and directed to execute documents and to take all actions necessary to submit the City's
request to the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, including the preparation and
submission of the required application, supporting documentation, economic and commercial
information, certified copy of this Resolution, and any other materials required by applicable law
or regulation.
The City Council hereby determines and finds that an increase in the City's quota retail
package licenses is necessary based upon the City's population growth, anticipated residential

development, continued commercial investment, economic revitalization, tourism and visitor
activity, regional market position, and demand for additional retail opportunities.

Control as may be necessary during its review of the City's petition.
Nothing in this Resolution shall be construed as issuing or approving any individual
alcoholic beverage license. The issuance of individual licenses shall remain subject to the
requirements of the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and all applicable
federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations.
Adopted this 14th day of October, 2026.
