Other factors should be considered, and every location has different circumstances. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff requests that the Council discuss its concerns related to liquor stores, and provide direction <br />if an ordinance amendment is necessary, or if the ordinance is adequate as -is. . <br />It is Staff's recommendation that if a liquor store (off -sale intoxicating liquor) is to be located <br />within a business with different operating hours (i.e. liquor store inside Super America), the liquor <br />store should be physically separated such that it can be closed during non -sale hours. This can <br />be accomplished through a wall, glass, gate, etc. To do this, an ordinance amendment is <br />necessary to Chapter 502 (Intoxicating Liquor)2. <br />Off -sale operating hours (intoxicating liguor)3 <br />Sun 11AM- 6PM <br />Mon 8AM — 10PM <br />Tue 8AM — 10PM <br />Wed 8AM — 10PM <br />Thr 8AM 10PM <br />Fri 8AM — 10PM <br />Sat 8AM — 10PM <br />Respectfully, <br />Jon Sevald, AICP <br />City Planner / Supervisor <br />2 Mounds View Municipal Code, Section 502.11 (Conduct of Business; Conditions of License) <br />3 MN Statute Subd 4(a) (Intoxicating liquor; off -sale) <br />
