Subd. 3. Temporary Non-Intoxicating 3.2 Percent Malt Liquor Special Events License. A temporary special event non-intoxicating 3.2 percent malt liquor license may be issued for the retail sale of non-intoxicating 3.2 percent malt liquor for consumption on City owned premises located at 5394 Edgewood Drive, 2401 Highway 10, and 8290 Coral Sea Street and during the time of the special Event. A special event license may be issued to a club, or charitable, religious, or other non-profit organizatio •(3) years, or to an organization contributing all of the profits of the sale of non-intoxicating 3.2 percent malt liquor to a charity, or to any business holding an on-sale license to sell non-intoxicating 3.2 percent malt liquor issued by the City or by an adjacent City. The license shall specify the date, time and place and premises of the special event. A special event 3.2 percent malt liquor license is not transferable.(Ord. 591, 10-29-96). The addition of City Hall Park to permitted premises for such a license conflicts with Code Section 909.07 Subd. 11, which prohibits alcohol in any public park or open space. This Section could be amended to allow 3.2 beer on City Hall Park property with the proper temporary license: "909.07 General Conduct Subd. 11. Alcoholic and Intoxicating Beverages: No person may possess, have within their immediate control, display, consume or use intoxicating liquor or nonintoxicating3.2 percent malt liquor in or upon any public park open space, except as permitted by temporary license pursuant to 503.03 Subd 3. This does not include the sale or consumption of alcoholic and intoxicating beverages at"The Bridges"golf course." The result of the previous changes would be to allow any club, religious, charitable or non- profit organization the ability to apply for a temporary license for functions in City Hall Park outside of the Festival in the Park Beer Garden. Option Two The previous code section changes would result in permitting alcohol in City Hall Park for other events than the Festival in the Park. The Park and Rec Commission met on Thursday night and unanimously agreed that the new ordinance should limit beer in City Hall Park to the Festival only. If Council is also interested in solely limiting alcohol to the Festival in the Park Beer Garden, a more specific municipal code section could be created. For example: 503.03: License Classifications Subd. 4. Temporary On-Sale 3.2% Malt Liquor License/ Festival In the Park Temporary on-sale 3.2% Malt Liquor licenses may be issued to a holder of an on-sale intoxicating license, 3.2% Malt Liquor license issued under Chapters 502 or 503 of the Municipal Code, or to a club, charitable organization, non-profit organization for not
