in the following zoning districts: B-1 and

C) DEVELOPMENT/TRAFFIC (On -Sale Licenses)
a) Issuance of a license should provide a positive and
direct stimulus to other development in the vicinity.
b) The land use which will result from issuance of a
license should not have an adverse effect on abutting
or nearby development.
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 legally binding agreement. The aim
is to ensure viable, desirable develor_xnent 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
use would conflict with neighborhood retail sales and
service facilities. These criteria take into account
the fact that most liquor licenses attract much of
their business from outside the area. Placement of
such businesses 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 or where
traffic congestion could occur.
D) PERSONS ELIGIRTF
a) The fact that an applicant shall have met and
fulfilled the requirements and conditions of the
City Code and State Statutes does not in any way
guarantee that a license will be granted to the appli-
cant. The ultimate decision regarding issuance of a
license rests with'the City Council.
b) A criminal charge, arrest or conviction will not bar
an applicant from obtaining a license with the City
unless the conviction is directly related to the
sale of liquor (Minnesota Statutes 364.03). However,
failure to reveal the requested criminal information
will be considered falsification of the application
and may be used as grounds for the denial of the
application (see also iii and iv below).
c) No retail license may be issued to:
i) A person holding an interest in any other St. Louis
Park on -sale liquor establishment;
ii) a person under 21 years of age;
iii) a person who within five years of the license
application has been convicted of a willful viola-
tion of a federal or state law or local ordinance
governing the manufacture, sale, distribution, or
possession for sale or distribution of intoxicating
or nonintoxicating malt liquors;
iv) a person who has had a liquor license revoked within
five years of the license application, or to any
person who at the time of the violation owns any
interest, whether as a holder of more than five
percent of the capital stock of a corporation license,
as a partner or otherwise, in the premises or in
the business conducted thereon, or to a corporation,
partnership, association, enterprise, business, or
firm in which any such person is in any manner
interested; or
v) a person not of good moral character and repute.
