The annual fee is equal to 1 /2 the fee charged by the State for the license. (Note: State law allows a municipality to charge up to 1 /2 the fee collected by the State.) ~ 50/ Ordinance -Zoning Ordinance The ~ s zoning ordinance establishes the zoning districts in which the manufacturing, selling, or distribution of alcoholic beverages is permissible. Based on meeting with Knox Askins and Cherie Black it is my understanding that the local regulations listed above apply to all permits issued by the A.B.C.. ****************************************************************************** In addition La Porte further regulates the issuance of permits for on- premises consumption of beer and wine. Ordinance 1000 (and amendments) Ordinance 1000 passed August 1974 established the locations of existing establishments engaged in the sale of beer for consumption on premise. The ordinance by legal description designated the locations where beer for consumption on premises may be sold and prohibited the sale of beer for consumption on premises elsewhere. Amendments to Ordinance 1000 (Ordinance 1000A -BB) have permitted on a case by case basis on premise consumption of beer and wine. The current policy and language used in ordinances amending Ordinance 1000 call for a business to have: "At leasixty-five (65) percent of the gross income shall be derived from the sale of prepared food."
