RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Ordinance on First Reading and schedule a Second Reading Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City Attorney's Office has noticed that Chapter 6, Article l, Section 6-3, was incorrectly
amended, and inadvertently omitted language concerning on-premises consumption of alcoholic
beverages, substituted instead with duplicated language concerning off-premises consumption.
Section 6-3(3) provides regulations for the permitted hours of on-premises consumption of
alcoholic beverages in various types of alcoholic beverage establishments, as referenced in
subsections a-c. Subsection 6-3(3), however, begins with the language: "Off-premises package
sales shall be permitted between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and midnight, for all establishments
licensed as alcoholic beverage establishments." This is a duplication of language already in
subsection 6-3(4), which provides: "Off-premises package sales shall be permitted between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and'l 1:00 p.m., for all establishments licensed as alcoholic beverage
establishments." Thls error was made in Ordinance 2003-3403, when subsection 6-3(4), intending
to amend the closing hours for sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption was
changed from'l 1:00 p.m. to midnight, instead amended subsection 6-3(3), and left subsection 6-
3(4) with the old 11:00 p.m. closing time.
Thus, subsection 6-3(3) should commence with the following language (taken from the code as it
existed prior to 2003: All establishments licensed as alcoholic beveraqe eslablishments (midniqht
to 5:00 a.m.). either as permitted main or accessorv uses. shall onlv offer for sale the on-premises

consumption of alcoholic beveraqes within the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m on any dav of the
week.
And subsection (4) should be corrected to have the correct closing time for sales of alcoholic
beverages for off-premises consumption, per the City Commission's last action on that subject:
Off-premises package sales shall be permitted between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and +++O-p.m=
midniqht, for all establishments licensed as alcoholic beverage establishments.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission should approve the Ordinance on First Reading and schedule a Second
Reading Public Hearing.
