FROM: Douglas E. Smith, City Manager
DATE: January 18, 2017
Title
APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3.22 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (VII).
BACKGROUND: At the October 19, 2016 City Commission Workshop, the City Commission directed City staff to draft an ordinance providing for the elimination of alcoholic license allocations by district, as well as providing for revised hours of package sales on Sundays.
In addition, in order to prevent over proliferation of 3APS (beer, wine, and liquor package sales only), a distance restriction was added which provides that no 3APS classification shall be located within one thousand five hundred feet (1,500) of another 3APS establishment.
RECOMMENDATION: The item was approved at the Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting on December 13, 2016. The item appeared before the Planning and Zoning Board (P&Z) on January 3, 2017 and was approved with a 3-0 vote. Draft copies of the meeting minutes from the December 13, 2016 DRC meeting and the January 3, 2017 P&Z meeting are attached.
