3. Citizens' Comments for the Local Liquor Control Commission

Nathan Colombo, representing the Varsity Center for the Arts, asked the Commission to consider drafting an ordinance that would allow non-profit organizations, such as the Varsity Center, to obtain a liquor license where alcohol can be served to and consumed by their patrons on their outside sidewalk area. This would be similar to the outdoor eating and/or drinking areas that some restaurants and bars currently have at their establishments. It was asked if this would be on an event-by-event basis or throughout the year. Mr. Colombo stated that their initial intent was to be permitted per event, but ultimately it is whatever direction the Commission and City Staff is comfortable with.
