LIQUOR REGULATIONS; LICENSING, SALES, DISTILLERIES

Chapter 340A, as it may be amended from time to time, relating to the definition of terms, licensing, consumption, sales, financial responsibility of licensees, hours of sale, exceptions to permits or license requirements, and all other matters pertaining to the retail sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages, are adopted and made a part of this subchapter as if set out in full. To the extent that state law authorizes a city to, by ordinance, provide for the issuance of a license or permit for any particular establishment or activity, this subchapter shall be deemed to grant the city that authority.

The city issues private liquor licenses pursuant to state law and voter approval of “split liquor”. Under the statutory restrictions for split liquor, the city does not have authority to issue licenses to exclusive liquor stores, but only to hotels, clubs, and restaurants, as these businesses are defined by state law.
