JJ Discussion of proposed alcoholic beverage control ordinance issues -- Marianne Banks and Bob Hart
Hart explained that Councilmembers Burson and Barton had requested that the City investigate the
possibility of doing an ordinance in advance of an expected petition effort to change Georgetown to a "wet"
community.
Assistant City Attorney Rodriguez noted that the State exclusively controls the alcoholic beverage code.
City Council Meeting Minutes/October 13, 1998
Page 4 of 5 Pages
He outlined for Council the areas were the City could have some limited control, such as: the sale of beer
and liquor by Charter election; regulation of the position of the alcoholic beverage dealer, such as distance
from a church, public school, or public hospital, or day-carelchild-care facility, noting that if the City receives
a request from the Georgetown School Board, the City could increase the distance from a school if the
business has more than 50% of gross revenues from the sale of alcohol. He said the Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Code recognizes only the zoning regulations that were initiated prior to June 11, 1987; noting that
because the Zoning Regulations of Georgetown were not adopted until 1988, Georgetown would only be
able to zone if the business derives 75% or more of its gross revenue from on -premise sale of alcohol. He
said in that case, the City could require a specific -use permit, and with certain exceptions, the City would be
allowed to collect and levy license fees. Rodriguez said the City could limit the "late hours" permits and
"start of business" times on Sundays or weekdays and could regulate the sale of alcohol in City -owned
buildings and parks. Regarding the ability to allow the sale of beer in the park on certain occasions, Banks
stated that the ordinance could be written to allow a permitting process for special events. Hoyt asked
about prohibiting liquor warehouses. Rodriguez and Banks explained that liquor warehouses can only be
prohibited in their distance from churches, schools or hospitals.
