beverages be offered for sale for consumption on or off the Premises, except in bars, as incidental
to for restaurants and grocery stores (limited to the sale of beer and wine only for consumption

of the school or place of worship. No establishment, except for Hotel room service, shall offer
alcoholic beverages for consumption on or off the Premises between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on
any day of the week. However, beer and wine may be sold, for off premises consumption only,

Use procedures set forth in section 30-72, to allow an establishment to offer alcoholic beverages
for consumption on or off the Premises as late as 4:50 a.m. In evaluating such requests, the
Village Council shall use the following criteria:
(1) The number of off-street Parking spaces;

The Village Council may require, as a condition of granting an extended hours license,
conditions to mitigate the adverse impacts that such establishments have on Adjacent Properties.
The extended hours license is personal to the applicant and shall not be transferred or assumed
without the approval of the Village Council pursuant to the Conditional Use procedures set forth
in section 30-72. An extended hours license is automatically renewed unless it is suspended by
the Village Manager. Following the suspension, the Village Council shall hold a public hearing
to determine it should be reinstated or revoked. The Village Manager's decision to suspend the
extended hours license must be based on a determination that the Use is harmful to the health,
safety, and welfare of the Village. The Council shall determine whether there is competent and
substantial evidence to support the decision of the Village Manager using the process for an
appeal of an administrative decision (See section 30-70). Prior to a decision to suspend an
extended hours license, the Police Chief shall submit a report and recommendation to the Village
Manager. The report shall address the criteria listed in subparagraphs (1)--(3)
above.
The granting of an extended hours license is a privilege subject to revocation by the Village
Council at any time. As such, no Person may reasonably rely on a continuation of the privilege.
