(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 16.15 (Commercial Zones), sales of alcoholic beverages may take place for a maximum of one day without the necessity of obtaining a conditional use permit. Such one-day events are prohibited within 1,000 feet of community street fairs, carnivals, festivals and parades which have been approved by the City Council. However, this prohibition does not preclude the sale of alcohol at these community events if approved by the City Council.
(B) Temporary sales lasting not more than three days, or any portion thereof over one, must be approved in advance by the City Council. The Council may establish conditions regarding such sales to assure compliance with city codes and the health, safety and welfare of the public. The City Council may deny such requests if it finds that the prior history of the organization or individual requesting the sale warrants such a denial or if the potential impacts of traffic congestion, loitering, crime, public drunkenness or other problems appear to be of a magnitude that cannot be overcome through the imposition of conditions. Such events are prohibited within 1,000 feet of community street fairs, carnivals, festivals and parades that have been approved by the City Council. However, this prohibition will not preclude the sale of alcohol at the site of these community events if approved by the City Council.
