RESOLUTION ADOPTING ORDINANCE # 200606 AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING SECTION 7-3-7 of OTSEGO CITY CODE, PLACE INELIGIBLE
FOR LIQUOR LICENSE
WHEREAS, the City of Otsego has received a request submitted by Ryan
Companies U.S., Inc. to allow for the sale of intoxicating liquor (off -sale) within the
Otsego SuperTarget store; and
WHEREAS, currently Section 7-3-7 subd. C of the Otsego City Code prohibits the
City from granting liquor licenses within five hundred (500) feet of any church or
school; and
WHEREAS, due to the proximity of Christ Lutheran Church, Ryan Companies'
request would be denied under the current provision; and
WHEREAS, the location of said church within the City of Otsego's primary
commercial center does not interfere with that church's First Amendment rights, but
the current code provision would unnecessarily prohibit valuable commercial
development in said primary commercial center.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Otsego, Wright County,
Minnesota, hereby orders the adoption and publication of the attached Ordinance # 2006-06,
amending Section 7-3-7 subd. C of the Otsego City Code as follows:
