RESOLUTION NO. 84-169
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING GUIDELINES IN THE CITY
OF ST. LOUIS PARK CONCERNING THE ISSUANCE OF NEW
ON -SALE LICENSES FOR THE SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUOR
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK:
1) The City Council has previously set forth in Resolution Nos. 3974
and 5392 an expression of policy regarding the issuance of an on -sale
intoxicating liquor license, and the public interest will be served by
further elaboration of the factors generally considered by the City in the
issuance of said licenses.
2) There is a definite need and a benefit to the City in allocating
licenses to areas or developments where such actions will tend to improve
the economic viability of the City. Providing the direct and indirect benefits
of an on -sale liquor license should foster good development and redevelopment
consistent with the City's plans and objectives.
3) In considering the issuance of new on -sale licenses, the City
c) In developing or undeveloped areas, the issuance of a
license should be in proper sequence of construction.
The license shall be approved only after development is
well underway, or it shall be related directly to other
development with simultaneous construction, or at least
with a genuine and properly committed agreement for other
construction. The aim is to ensure viable, desirable
development for the area and to ensure use of the license
as a positive development stimulus for the area.
d) Licenses should not be allowed in areas where good access
to the metropolitan transportation system is not available,
nor should they be located where such land use would usurp
land zoned for planned neighborhood retail sales and
service facilities. This criteria takes into account the
fact that most liquor licenses attract much of their
business from outside the area. Placement of such busi-
nesses in a small neighborhood shopping center could usurp
parking and such neighborhood conveniences.
Council will consider
the
following:
a) Issuance
of
the license should have a positive and direct
stimulus
to
other development in the vicinity.
b) The land
use
as a result of issuance of a license should
not have
an
adverse effect on abutting or nearby develop-
ment.
c) In developing or undeveloped areas, the issuance of a
license should be in proper sequence of construction.
The license shall be approved only after development is
well underway, or it shall be related directly to other
development with simultaneous construction, or at least
with a genuine and properly committed agreement for other
construction. The aim is to ensure viable, desirable
development for the area and to ensure use of the license
as a positive development stimulus for the area.
d) Licenses should not be allowed in areas where good access
to the metropolitan transportation system is not available,
nor should they be located where such land use would usurp
land zoned for planned neighborhood retail sales and
service facilities. This criteria takes into account the
fact that most liquor licenses attract much of their
business from outside the area. Placement of such busi-
nesses in a small neighborhood shopping center could usurp
parking and such neighborhood conveniences.
e) Licenses should not be issued in locations where excess
traffic will likely use residential streets for access to
and from the establishment.
f) Liquor licenses shall only be issued for Class I
restaurants per Section 14-123.101 of the Zoning
Ordinance: "A sit-down restaurant with on -sale intoxi-
cating liquor."
