Require public benefit findings before approving new liquor stores in oversaturated areas
Resolution Ordinance No. 8-09 N.S.
In Plain English
The city currently approves conditional use permits for new liquor stores based on standard zoning criteria. This change adds a requirement that new stores in areas with too many existing alcohol retailers must prove they serve a public need. City staff will evaluate whether an area already has an undue concentration of liquor stores before approving new permits.
