LINCOLN, Neb. — The Lincoln City Council unanimously approved the cancellation of liquor licenses for two local bars and heard an informational presentation on proposed accessory dwelling unit regulations during its March 23 meeting, according to [meeting records posted by Lincoln Cablecast](https://lnktv.lincoln.ne.gov/internetchannel/show/4301?channel=1).

All seven council members voted 7-0 to cancel the liquor licenses held by BSR Inc., doing business as The Office, and RSP Volleyball Inc., doing business as Playmakers Sports Bar and Grill. The council reviewed serious violations associated with both establishments, including federal indictments and tavern violations, before approving the cancellations through Resolutions 26R-94 and 26R-95.

In other business, the council unanimously approved an amendment to the Lincoln Building Code establishing clearer classification standards for private garages and carports. The council also reappointed Jim Johnson and Ann Worth to the Historic Preservation Commission and Craig Falls to the Board of Mechanical Examiners, all by 7-0 votes.

The council heard public comment on a proposed zoning ordinance that would expand [accessory dwelling unit regulations](https://planning.lincoln.ne.gov/) in certain districts. Four speakers addressed the council on the topic, with three expressing strong support for the changes.

Gina Ragland, representing AARP Nebraska, highlighted benefits for seniors seeking to age in place. Peter Katt raised implementation concerns about owner occupancy requirements and building standards.
