Council advances wide alcohol‑code revisions and extends moratorium to prevent applications under old rules
Summary
Chamblee council advanced a 76‑page set of alcohol code amendments to second reading and unanimously extended the alcohol‑license moratorium for 30 days to ensure applicants are governed by the new rules once adopted.
Council moved to advance a comprehensive set of proposed amendments to Chapter 6 (Alcoholic Beverages) by taking a first reading by headings only. The staff described the package as a 76‑page document that changes multiple sections ranging from definitions and licensing requirements to hours of sale, permitted locations, catered event permits and audit procedures.
To prevent applicants from filing under the existing rules during the ordinance update, the council also adopted a resolution extending the alcohol‑license moratorium for 30 days. A council member explained the extension is necessary because the moratorium must remain in effect while the new ordinance proceeds through the second reading; otherwise applicants could apply under the old rules prior to implementation of new requirements.
