Regarding liquor licensing and consumption as it relates to Event Centers, it is important to note <br />that Event Centers cannot obtain their own on -sale liquor license, rather, options would include <br />utilizing State licensed caterers for liquor service or there must be an operational restaurant <br />onsite and the restaurant could apply for a liquor license. <br />Based on this new business/land use type and the potential involvement for the consumption of <br />liquor in general, it was recommended that City Code Chapter 5, Alcoholic Beverages be <br />amended to address Event Centers and liquor. City Staff has confirmed with the City Attorney <br />and proposes adding the attached draft language to Chapter 5 to include the definition of an <br />Event Center (see Section 500, Subsection 500.1 Definitions) and the type of license (see <br />Subsection 500.3 Types of Licenses). <br />Subsection 500.3 Types of Licenses identifies the two options available specifically to an Event <br />Center. The first scenario is that the operational restaurant is the licensee. The restaurant would <br />apply for an on -sale liquor license and liquor service could also be provided within the Event <br />Center space but only during the restaurant's regular business hours. The second scenario is <br />utilization of a State licensed caterer license for liquor service during events. <br />Staff requests that the City Council consider the proposed draft Ordinance 2024-010 (see <br />Attachment A) and authorize publication of a Summary Ordinance. <br />Budget <br />N/A <br />Attachment <br />A: Ordinance 2024-010 and Summary Ordinance (redlines) <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
