MEMORANDUM <br /> June 13, 2012 <br /> To: City Manager Malinen, City Council Members <br /> From: Dan Roe <br /> Subject: Off-Sale Liquor License Quantity <br /> As we on the council have been aware, there is interest in the marketplace to open businesses in <br /> Roseville that have as part of their model the sale of off-sale liquor in some form(often wine), <br /> such as Trader Joe's or Cost Plus World Market. <br /> The issue raised by potential developers has been the limit of 10 off-sale licenses in Roseville, <br /> all of which are currently held by existing establishments, and apparently none of which seem to <br /> be in a position to be made available, either due to continued interest in maintaining the license <br /> by the current holder or due to the price to obtain the license being too high for a prospective <br /> user to justify. <br /> I am well aware that in the past the city council has not been interested in increasing the number <br /> of off-sale liquor licenses in Roseville. <br /> However, given the keen interest by some prospective businesses, and given the continued slow <br /> economy, as well as Councilmember Johnson's interest in reconsidering the issue, I wanted to <br /> broach the subject again with the council from perhaps a bit of a different angle. <br /> It seems that one reason for limiting the number of licenses is to limit the perceived impacts on <br /> neighborhoods of having liquor stores nearby. <br /> If that is the case, it seems reasonable to conclude that liquor stores located in a primarily <br /> commercial area, such as the Regional Business area around Rosedale,would have much fewer <br /> impacts on neighborhoods, since the surrounding businesses in the RB zoned area would <br /> essentially provide a"buffer"between the liquor store and the nearest neighborhood. <br /> Therefore, it may be worth considering allowing some small number of additional off-sale <br /> liquor licenses, provided that they are located only in the RB zoned area. I would suggest that, <br /> if we do that,we still limit the number of licenses in non-RB zoned areas to the current 9. (One <br /> of our current 10 license holders is already located in the RB zoned area.) In other words, we <br /> could raise the limit to, perhaps 12 or 13 or 14,but require that no more than 9 of those may be <br /> for stores in non-RB zoned areas. <br /> In addition, if we are willing to increase the number of licenses in that manner, we may want to <br /> consider provisions to prevent"clustering" of liquor stores anywhere in the city,which may be a <br /> public safety and neighborhood quality concern, perhaps by setting a minimum spacing <br /> requirement of, say, 'A mile in non-RB zoned areas, and perhaps a closer spacing in RB zoned <br /> areas. <br /> I suggest another discussion on this matter as we consider the"tap room" license proposal. <br />
