(A) Classes of temporary liquor license. There shall be two classes of temporary liquor license available including TEMP-C for current liquor licensees and TEMP-N for persons or entities that do not have a current license. A TEMP-C or a TEMP-N license may be issued for a multiple consecutive calendar day that shall be no more than three consecutive 24-hour periods. The TEMP-C and TEMP-N licensee shall pay a fee for each calendar day in which the event for which the said license is scheduled to occur.
(B) Class TEMP-C license (current licensees). Any holder of a Class A, B, C, BW, E, R, and V licensee may apply for and, if such application is approved, receive a Class TEMP-C license. A Class TEMP-C license shall authorize the Class TEMP-C licensee to sell and serve alcohol by the drink for consumption at a private event to which specific individuals are invited or at a special event that is open to the general public where such private event or special event is to be held off the licensee’s premises. A current licensee shall not be required to obtain a Class TEMP-C license for a private event or special event to be held solely on the licensee’s licensed premises.
(C) Class TEMP-N license (non-liquor license holders).
(1) A Class TEMP-N license shall be required for any non-liquor license holder who seeks to host:
(a) A special event that is open to the public where such event is scheduled to take place on city-owned property and where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed;
(b) A private event to which specific guests are invited where such event is scheduled to take place on city-owned property and where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed; or
(c) A private event to which specific guests are invited where such event is scheduled to take place on a third-person’s private property and where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed.
(d) An event open to the public that is scheduled to take place on private property where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed. In the case of this subsection (d), the owner of the private property shall be responsible for requiring the host to obtain a Class TEMP-N license.
(2) A person who hosts a private party or a private event on that person’s privately owned residential property to which specific guests are invited and at which alcohol will be served or consumed shall not be required to obtain a Class TEMP-N license. Notwithstanding the immediate foregoing, the person hosting the said private party or private event on that person’s privately owned residential property shall be required to obtain a Class TEMP-N license if that person intends to sell alcohol for on-premises consumption.
(3) In the case where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed at a special or private event held on city-owned property, the host shall limit the sale, service and consumption of alcohol to the boundaries of the special or private event as approved by the city.
(4) In the case where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed at a private party or private event held on the host’s privately owned residential or commercial property, the sale, service and consumption of such alcohol shall be limited to the boundaries of the host’s said private property.
(5) Where alcohol will be sold, served or consumed at a private party or private event conducted on city-property or the host’s privately owned residential or commercial property by someone other than the host, then the person who will be drawing, pouring, mixing, selling, or serving the alcohol shall have a TEMP-N license unless that person possesses a Class TEMP-C license.
(6) No more than three Class TEMP-N licenses shall be issued to an applicant in a 365 consecutive day period. It shall be unlawful for any person to apply for a Class TEMP-N license on behalf of another person so that such other person can avoid the maximum number of Class TEMP-N licenses allowable within the aforesaid time period. This limitation in the number of Class TEMP-N licenses shall not apply to the City of Danville.
(D) Additional provisions applicable to Class TEMP-C and Class TEMP-N licenses.
(1) Applications for Class TEMP-C and Class TEMP-N licenses must be submitted at least ten business days prior to the start date of the scheduled event. Applications shall be submitted on a form provided by the city and must include the information required for a non-temporary license as provided in § 96.03(A), (C) and (D).
(2) In those situations where the event is open to the public, the applicant shall also provide:
(a) A detailed description of the nature of the event, including the location where the event will be held.
(b) The type of alcohol that will be offered for service and/or sale at the event.
(c) The person who will be serving the alcohol and, if that person is licensed, the type of license that person possesses.
(d) The date(s) and time(s) when the event will be conducted and when alcohol will be sold and/or served;
(e) The specific boundaries of the area where alcohol will be sold, served and consumed with identified points of ingress and egress. There shall be at least two points of egress, each being 44 inches wide, for every 200 attendees anticipated to be at the event.
(f) A detailed description of the security measures that will be in force for the event. All event security plans must be approved in writing by the Chief of the Danville Police Department or his or her designee.
(g) The persons who will be responsible for handling security at the event including, but not limited to, the checking of identification and the means of identifying persons age 21 and older; and
(h) A reasonable good faith estimate of the number of individuals expected to attend the event.

For purposes of this section “special event retailer” shall mean: an educational, fraternal, political, civic, religious, or non-profit organization that will sell or offer for sale alcohol for consumption at the location and on the dates designated by a special event retail license (235 ILCS 5/1-3.17.1).
