Special event alcoholic beverage licenses, as authorized under SDCL 35-4-124(1), (2), and (3), only, as such portion of the South Dakota Code is currently in effect or as may hereafter amended by the State of South Dakota and as specified below, may be issued by the City Council in conjunction with special events held within the city. Any license issued pursuant to this section may be issued for a period of time established by the City Council not to exceed 15 consecutive days. The license shall be applied for and issued in the same manner as other alcohol licenses issued by the city, except as may be further provided in this section.
(A) Special application requirements. Any application for a special event alcoholic beverage license shall include the class of special alcoholic beverage license applied for and contain a map of the intended location for use of the special event alcoholic beverage license.
(B) Effect of boundaries for licenses. The sale of alcoholic beverages pursuant to a special event alcoholic beverage license shall not take place beyond the boundaries shown on the map. Alcoholic beverages sold pursuant to an off-sale special event alcoholic beverage license shall not be consumed at the location of the sale. Consumption of alcoholic beverages sold pursuant to an on-sale special event alcoholic beverage license may occur within the same boundaries set for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
(C) Hours of effect. The City Council, when granting a special event alcoholic beverage license, shall set the hours for which the special event alcoholic beverage license shall be effective with such hours never to exceed those for an on-sale alcoholic beverage dealer as established under §§ 114.03(B), 114.15(A) and (B), 114.30(A) and (B), and 114.31(A).
(D) Hearing requirement. A public hearing shall be required for special event alcoholic beverage licenses in the same manner as for other alcoholic beverage licenses pursuant to SDCL Chapter 35-2.
(E) Limits on issuance. No person, organization, or entity may be issued more than four special event alcoholic beverage licenses within any calendar year. For calculation purposes, any combination of licenses issued to the same person, at the same place, for the same time, and for the same special event, shall be counted only as one license for purposes of the four-license limit.
(F) Authorization of more restrictive conditions. Any special event licensee shall conform to and abide by all general restrictions set forth in this chapter to the extent the same do not conflict with the conditions set forth by the City Council in the issuance of any special event license hereunder, such conditions being hereby authorized to be, in the full discretion of the City Council, more restrictive than the general restrictions set forth in other sections of this chapter. Such more restrictive conditions, as warranted by each special event application, may include, but are not necessarily limited to, appropriate security requirements, and hours of operation shorter than those allowed by §§ 114.03(B), 114.15(A) and (B), 114.30(A) and (B), and 114.31(A).
