ORDINANCES: At their Regular Meeting of July 19, 1979, the City Council reviewed the
ORDINANCE 10, application of Mr. Otto DiVosta, Owner /Developer of the Garden Square PUD
Izl7� on the northwest corner of PGA Boulevard and Military Trail, for exceptions
to the requirement of Section 3 -30 of Article II of Chapter 3 of the City's
Lode relative to the distance restrictions of 750 feet between alcoholic
beverage vendors.
At that meeting, the City Attorney rendered the opinion that the specific
variances requested,permitting the proposed package store and wine shop to
sell alcoholic beverages for off - premise consumption and the two proposed
restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, did
riot meet the criteria outlined in the City's Code for consideration of
exemption from the distance requirement.
At their Regular Meeting of August 2, 1979, the City Council workshopped
Ordinance #9, 1979, exempting alcoholic beverage vendors located within
certain shopping centers from the distance restriction. Subsequently, the
City Attorney was requested to redraft the Ordinance to amend the City's
Code to enable the Council to consider special exceptions to the distance
requirement for vendors selling alcoholic beverages, including malt and
wine, for off - premise consumption.
During the workshop session on Ordinance X610, 1979, defining the points of
measurement for the distance restriction and providing for a variance proce-
dure for vendors to sell alcoholic beverages for off - premise consumption,
the Council made certain revisions to Sections 1 and 2.
