MMO�RAN'D�UM <br />Wi <br />RE: Off-Liciense Liquor Licilienses <br />Umm <br />To From a social, ca114piatibil1 ty standpoint,, the Council may wish to consider <br />a 300 foot limit 'in, distance, building to building) from a school or <br />%-W <br />church. Many communities no longer do this and we do not feel it is <br />neciessary; wie have not done it for on-siale licenses. Communities that <br />V 01 <br />have siu,cih limitations usually apply, that distance factor to both on- <br />and oiff-,siale licenses,, <br />Obv ious ly, the degree of control inherent, in the licensing procedure is <br />more precise and effective as oppos,e�d to, land use regulations, Thi's <br />0 <br />being the case, permitting licenses in the commercial districts <br />if <br />proposed could, be, an appropriate solution,, <br />11imlitatigoin on square folotiage size of' an outlet is considered, we <br />would suggest 1,000, square feet. It may be advisable, however, to <br />4i 9 <br />allow for the development of' an "exclusive wine shop" with less square <br />0i <br />footage, under certain, conditions. <br />4 V <br />1,0�., Establishing a limit of outlets, in terms of numbers would appear, <br />M 01 <br />our oipinioin, to be unnecessiary at this stage, Any attempt to create a <br />"monopoly" condon for a speci , f: Le trade area may prove d if f icult and <br />ill-advised. The Council may wish to adopt a set of policies relating <br />to liquor license issuance which, may, 'include the following. <br />a, To promote orderly growth, of the City. <br />b., To protect home and, land values. <br />C. To comply, with proper sound zoning practices., <br />d. To prevent and control, Juvenile delinquency., <br />e. Issuance of licensies on siound economic factors. <br />fal License locations to, enhance existing and potential retail <br />merchandising sites.1 <br />
