Chamblee council moves several code amendments to second reading, including alcohol and tobacco-shop rules
Summary
City staff read multiple ordinance amendments affecting tobacco/tobacco-product shops, alcoholic beverage rules (including a potential 1.5-ounce pour standard), dealers in precious metals (fingerprinting/background checks) and vehicle-booting regulation; several items were scheduled for second reading next month.
The city attorney read a set of ordinance amendments affecting Chamblee's Unified Development Ordinance definitions and land-use standards for tobacco product shops and related measurements, followed by a separately read alcohol ordinance that would add definitions and a new complimentary beer/wine license. During the alcohol discussion, a council member requested adding a 1.5-ounce standard pour for distilled liquor to be considered at second reading.
The city attorney also read proposed changes to the dealers in precious metals and gems ordinance to add fingerprinting and criminal background checks for key participants, and a related amendment for booting of vehicles on private property. Councilors noted some changes reflect state or law-enforcement requests; the items were moved to a second reading next month for additional review and any amendments.
