PROHIBITION - TEMPORARY OUTDOOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS (B)
 
Ordinance No. 120146; Petition No. PB-12-60 TCH
An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, amending the Land Development Code; by amending Section 30-67 General provisions for business and mixed use districts to prohibit the issuance of special event permits and temporary game day permits to establishments that are subject to an underage prohibition order relating to underage drinking incidents; providing directions to the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an immediate effective date.
 
recommendation
 
The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.
 
explanation
 
This ordinance amends the Land Development Code of the City of Gainesville to prohibit businesses that are in violation of the underage drinking laws from getting special event permits for outdoor alcoholic beverage sales for University of Florida Home Football Game Day events.  This issue was discussed by the Public Safety Committee based on the request from the Police Department (Captain Ed Posey).
 
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on June 12, 2012.  On June 28, 2012, the City Plan Board held a public hearing and, by a vote of 5-0, recommended denial of the petition as submitted by City staff and in the alternative recommended allowing businesses that are in violation of the underage drinking laws to receive the described special event permits if the associated outdoor alcoholic beverage sales are limited at all times to people of legal drinking age.  The City Commission held a public hearing on July 19, 2012, which was recessed until July 24, 2012, and approved the petition by a vote of 6-1.
 
CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM
 
This ordinance requires two hearings.  Should this ordinance pass on first reading, second and final reading will be held on September 6, 2012.
