ITEM NO.2
ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 4, ENTITLED "ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES,"
CHAPTER 2, ENTITLED "LIQUOR LICENSING AND BEER PERMITS" BY
AMENDING SECTION 2 TO ALLOW LIVE PERFORMANCE THEATERS TO
SERVE AND CONSUME ALCOHOL ABOVE THE GROUND FLOOR.
(FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This ordinance creates another exception (the others are hotels,
motels, restaurants, and private clubs) to the general prohibition against selling
and consuming alcohol above the ground floor in establishments with liquor
licenses and beer/wine permits, The proposed ordinance would allow, for
example, the Englert Theatre to serve alcohol in the balcony, When the
Englert first received its liquor license, the applicability of the "ground floor"
requirement was inadvertently overlooked. The policy behind limiting alcohol to
the ground floor includes the difficulty that police officers have when having to
remove an intoxicated person or persons involved in a physical altercation from
the second floor, and City staff does not have those safety concerns in a venue
such as the Englert Theatre.
