SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT GUIDELINES AND STANDARDSSettlement Agreement Template • November 3rd, 2020
A Settlement Agreement (SA) is a contract between an establishment seeking to obtain or renew a license to serve alcoholic beverages and the community (as represented by the ANC and/or a community association) regarding the establishment’s operational practices. The purpose of the SA is to address community interest regarding an establishment’s operations and to avoid any potential problems surrounding the issuance or renewal of an alcoholic beverage license. SAs are generally negotiated between the ANC commissioner in whose Single Member District the establishment is located and the owner or manager of the establishment. Community associations, including but not limited to the Logan Circle Community Association, Rhode Island West Neighborhood Association, the Mid-‐City Residents Association, and the Blagden Alley Naylor Court Association, may also take part in these discussions.
