# Baltimore County Board of Appeals: Oakleigh Station Hookah Lounge, LLC, case number CBA-27-002

This was a public deliberation meeting of the Baltimore County Board of Appeals held virtually on September 17, 2026, concerning the appeal of the denial of a permit renewal for Oakleigh Station LLC, operating as Dubai Hookah Lounge. The board reviewed three main questions regarding the legality and sufficiency of the denial letter, the specificity of the grounds for non-renewal, and the adequacy of standards for permit denial. The board members agreed that any technical errors in the denial letter were harmless and that the denial was justified based on numerous police and code enforcement incidents related to health, safety, and welfare concerns. They noted the owner's lack of responsibility for disturbances and the location's proximity to residences as significant factors. The board concluded that the license should not be renewed and indicated that any future application would face significant challenges. No direct procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were discussed in this meeting.
