(A) In order to be eligible for an economic development alcohol permit within the city and under I.C. 7.1-3-20-16.8, a proprietor (and/or applicant or holder) must enter into formal written commitments pursuant to this section.
(B) The commitments, the adequacy of which are in the sole discretion of the city, may relate to the character or type of business that will be conducted on the permitted premise, and should be designed to ensure that the proprietor operates a restaurant that is consistent with the economic development goals and visions of the city. Each set of commitments may be unique to each separate proprietor, restaurant, or circumstances.
(C) The commitments must be formally approved by both the Mayor’s office and the Lebanon Redevelopment Commission prior to submission of any application for an economic development alcohol permit within the city.
(D) A permit issued in the city under I.C. 7.1-3-20-16.8 may not be renewed or permit ownership transferred, including if the area is no longer designated an economic development area, an area needing redevelopment, or a redevelopment district, unless the proprietor enters into new commitments with the city pursuant to this section.
(E) Commitments entered under this section are binding on the permit holder, and continuing compliance with such commitments constitutes a condition to operating under an economic development alcohol permit with the city.
