A beverage license is a privilege issued by the city. Its issue and retention is conditioned on the licensee’s agreement to act in the public’s interest.
A current alcohol licensee may apply for a temporary change in their premise description. It is within the discretion of the City to approve or disapprove the change and the City may impose standard or special conditions. The fee is $50 per event date.
Expanded Premise applications are submitted to the Clerk, reviewed by staff (police, and Building, Fire & Electrical Inspectors), recommended by the License & Ordinance Committee, and approved by the City Council. To obtain an expanded premise permit, please submit or do the following at least 30 days before the event:
If an organization or enterprise has a current approved plan on file for event(s) of a similar size and nature, with the same set-up, all that need be submitted is the basic application (below) and current Certificate of Insurance (make reference to the designated approved plan on the application). A commercial enterprise may have up to three “approved plans on file” with the Clerk for events of different size, nature or set-up. Plans may be approved in advance without an application, in anticipation of a future application. The enterprise/organization or City may request a modification to any “approved plan on file” during the application process or at any other time. It is preferred that requests for modification be initiated, considered, and determined in the period following an event. Any substantial modification, or where there is not an agreement between the enterprise/organization and staff, will be reviewed by the License & Ordinance Committee and approved by the City Council.
