The above examples suggest that there are three general criteria which are <br />utilized as a basis for on -sale licenses. These are: <br />1. Whether or not there is food service <br />2. Seating capacity <br />3. Investment, building valuation <br />REVISED CITY SYSTEM <br />With the possibility of two additional new licenses, it would seem that the City <br />is in a position to utilize these as an economic development incentive which <br />could assist in attracting a high quality development. At minimum two classes of <br />licenses would seem appropriate. One class could cover existing operations <br />with a new class intended for a high quality sit down restaruant. This new <br />classification should basically require food service with a seating capacity of <br />say, 100 plus an Assessor's market valuation of the building and fixtures of <br />$750,000 or $800,000. (If $750,000, the existing Venetian Inn would qualify <br />as well). <br />Another option would be a three class system. The extra classification would <br />limit the non -food service, neighborhood bar operation. This limitation has <br />gained recent attention given concern over DWI's and the resulting accident <br />and liability potentials. <br />Prior to proceeding any further with this matter, we require input and direction <br />from the City Council. Following such a discussion our office or other staff can <br />pursue andfinalize a system which the Council views as appropriate for Little <br />Canada. <br />CC: Joseph Chhebeck <br />Tom Sweeney <br />John Palacio <br />DL /jj <br />PAGE 127 <br />
