Syllabus

On appeal of trial court judgment reversing decision of Ohio Liquor Control Commission to renew liquor permit. Judgment affirmed. Where the trial court is required to employ a hybrid review that permits limited factfinding and credibility analysis, where the Commission failed to engage in any factfinding itself and offered no reasoning for its decision, where extensive evidence in record supported the trial court's conclusion that renewal of the permit would cause substantial interference with public decency, sobriety, peace, or good order in the permitholder's neighborhood, trial court's decision to reverse Commission's renewal of permit was not an abuse of discretion.
