ATTEST: FAAAlm''WOU 0 secretary MIKE ROBINSON, Mayor City of Round Rock, Texas 2. DATE: July 24, 1990 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, July 26, 1990 ITEM: 8C. Consider an ordinance amending the City Code relating to the separation of certain land uses concerning sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. (First Reading) STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joe Vining STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval As discussed previously, this ordinance will eliminate a conflict which has arisen between uses allowed in commercial zones. Chapter 1 Section 8.0 of the City Code of Ordinances restricts the sale of alcoholic beverages within 300 feet of a church, public school or public hospital. This has resulted in minimal conflicts to date. However, the development of "store front churches" in the downtown area and in shopping centers could severely restrict businesses which sell alcoholic beverages in the only zone which permits these uses. This ordinance would exempt businesses from this restriction I1 the church, school or hospital which would trigger the restriction is located in a Commercial zone. The restriction remains in force in all other instances. Economic Impact: The adoption of the ordinance will require a minimal amount of additional staff review.
