The Gateway/Langdon Park Moratorium Zone Approval Resolution of 2025, proposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser, seeks to address community concerns regarding nightlife activities affecting the quality of life in the Gateway/Langdon Park neighborhood. The resolution aims to renew and rename the existing moratorium, limiting the number of nightclub licenses to three, lifting caps on multipurpose facility licenses, and allowing restaurants and taverns to obtain entertainment endorsements. This initiative is designed to maintain peace and safety in the area, prevent the overconcentration of licensed establishments, and mitigate negative impacts on public safety.

The resolution has undergone a legal sufficiency review and is deemed legally sound. It is supported by a fiscal impact statement indicating that the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) can manage the costs of enforcing the moratorium within its existing budget. The moratorium zone will extend approximately 600 feet in all directions from a specified location on Queens Chapel Road, N.E., and is set to be enforced for three years. The Council is urged to take prompt action on this resolution to ensure the community's concerns are addressed effectively.
