Applicant location Community location Public park Public park 200 ft. straight line 600 ft. pedestrian path of travel HOW IT WORKS

If the applicant location is under 200 ft. from one of these locations they CANNOT be licensed. ChurchesSchoolsPlaygrounds If the applicant location is under 200 ft. from one of these locations they may be granted a variance by the commission. Public Parks Public libraries WHAT IF THEY ARE UNDER 200 FEET?

There are four general criteria and three special criteria that the commission must consider when variances are allowed. The commission may grant a variance if: 1.Written consent is obtained from the local governmental authority. 2.A public hearing has been held. 3.The commission determines that granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, peace, safety, and welfare of the community; and 4.The governing authority of the community location gives its written consent to the variance. WHEN ARE VARIANCES GRANTED?

The special criteria apply if the community location does not give its written consent. If that is the case, the commission must find that: 1.There is substantial unmet public demand to consume alcohol in a public setting within the geographic boundary of the local (governmental) authority in which the business seeking the alcohol license is to be located 2.There is no reasonably viable alternative for satisfying the unmet public demand other than through the establishment of the license at the location; and 3.There is no reasonably viable alternative location within the geographic boundary of the local (governmental) authority in which the licensed business is to be located to satisfy the unmet demand. WHEN ARE VARIANCES GRANTED?

If the applicant location is over 200 ft. and less than 600 ft. from the community location they may be granted a variance by the commission under the same conditions previously discussed. ChurchesSchools Public playgrounds Public Parks Public libraries OVER 200 FT. BUT LESS THAN 600 FT? OVER 200 FT. BUT LESS THAN 600 FT?
