§ 5.07.040. Prohibited locations.

No new on-premises wine and beer licenses, on-premises alcoholic beverage licenses, or cabaret licenses shall be issued authorizing the sale of any alcoholic beverage for consumption on the premises for any location or premises which the city council deems unfavorable or undesirable due to its proximity to any schoolhouse or schoolroom used by any public or common school, or church, or its location in an area that is predominantly residential or, because of the specifics of the proposed use, either detrimental to the surrounding properties or burdensome for police monitoring purposes. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to invalidate any license existing on September 14, 1963, or to prevent the continued sale of alcoholic beverages by the holder of such applicable license or his successor in interest at the location stipulated in the license.

No license issued under this article shall be valid which has been inactive for a period of 90 days or more from the date of approval of the license, except that the licensee may make written request to the city council for an extension of the period of validity and the city may grant such extension. Any license which has remained inactive for more than 90 days from the date of approval shall be void and invalid, except that any license which has been extended as above provided and which has remained inactive through the last day of the extension period granted shall be void and invalid.

Upon request of the applicant, applicable license fees shall be refunded for the license which is allowed to remain inactive for a period of one year after the approval of the license.
