The impetus for these changes came with the <br />State's adoption of the smoking ban. At that time the question of how the City regulates <br />the outdoor consumption of alcoholic beverages was raised. Staff asked the City <br />Attorney to review the issue. The City Attorney found that the City's existing regulations <br />did not prohibit outdoor consumption of alcoholic beverages as long as the establishment <br />holding the liquor license included the square footage of the outdoor consumption area on <br />the application for the license. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for September 28, 2009 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />IlMetro-inet.uslardenhillslPlanninglPlanning Cases12009109-015 Chapter 5 Alcoholic Beverages Amendment (Pending)109-28-09 - <br />Regular Meeting - Memo - Liquor Regulations.doc <br />
