long each. These events will end by 9:00pm Monday through
Thursday, and 10:00pm Friday through Sunday. The applicant's
request is to provide alcoholic beverages at these events to adults
21 years of age and older. The need for a use-by-exception comes
from Chapter 3 of the City's code, regarding the consumption of
alcoholic beverages.
Planner. Reeves also clarified that the City's codes regarding alcohol
consumption on-premises did not differentiate between the
sources of the alcohol, meaning, if the applicant's request for on-
premises consumption of alcohol is approved, then she could
potentially sell alcohol on-premises as well.
