§ 6-124. Distance requirements—From residences.  


Latest version.
  • No license under this chapter shall be issued to any location which is within a 300-foot radius of a property line of a private residence; however, if the license review board, if appeal is filed, at a public hearing shall determine that the property values of the residence or residences will not be affected, that the quiet enjoyment of the premises by the residents thereof shall not be adversely affected, and that the grant of such license shall have no other adverse effect on the residents, the license review board or the board of commissioners may waive this provision of this section by granting a distance waiver. A distance waiver remains in effect for any alcoholic beverage license for that location provided that the establishment does not cease operation for 12 or more months, and the business activity does not change. This section shall not apply to residences located within commercial zones. The distance requirements from residences sited in this section do not apply to any residentially used structures that are contained in the PVC, RRC, UVC, and ROD zoning categories. The distance requirements in this section do not apply to structures that develop in accordance with the Mableton form-based redevelopment district. Wholesalers and distributors are exempt from this section.
