G.5 Approve Ordinance Amendment to Allow 8 a.m. Sunday Sales for On -Sale Licenses In 2015, MN State Statute 340A.504 was amended to allow the sale of on -sale intoxicating liquor on Sundays to begin at 8 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. In Hugo City Code, hours of sale are as authorized under state law; however, the section of Hugo City Code that references Sunday Licenses specifically states that sales cannot begin prior to 10 a.m. Staff has received a request from the Hugo American Legion to amend the City Code to allow sales at 8 a.m. on Sunday's. Staff recommends Council adopt the ordinance amending Hugo City Code, Chapter 6, Alcoholic Beverages, to allow for 8 a.m. Sunday Sales. G.6 Approve Right-of-way and Telecommunications Ordinance Amendments to Regulate Small Wireless Facilities A small wireless facility, also known as a small cell, is a newer technology that is a complimentary piece of equipment to traditional cell towers and provides additional cellular data coverage. Recently, there was an amendment to State Statute regarding the regulation of small wireless facilities. The amendments have streamlined the permitting process for placement or collocation of small wireless facilities on city -owned structures in public right-of-way by allowing them as a permitted use in all zoning districts except historic and residential. However, the law also allows cities to manage small wireless facilities through a permitting process, including a collocation agreement, and ordinances. Staff recommended approval of the amendments to update the right-of-way and telecommunications ordinance per the new amendment to State law to prepare for the eventual deployment of small wireless facilities within the community. At its February 28, 2019, meeting the Planning Commission considered and held a public hearing on the ordinance amendments. The Planning Commission agreed with revisions and recommended approval of the amendments to update the right-of-way and telecommunications ordinance.
