Section 10.82.020 Establishment of Alcohol Impact Areas

Upon the identification of problems related to chronic public inebriation or illegal activities linked to the sale or consumption of alcohol within a geographic area, the City may establish an alcohol impact area by first attempting a voluntary Alcohol Impact Area. If the voluntary Alcohol Impact Area does not reduce problems in that area, the City may then petition the Liquor and Cannabis Board to request that the Board adopt a resolution creating a state-recognized Alcohol Impact Area which is mandatory.
