    Licensees desiring to extend their licensed Premises to include street, alley, road, highway, parking or sidewalk areas must apply in writing to the City Clerk for such authorization.

If parking areas are included in the extended Premises, the applicant must indicate how parking requirements will be satisfied during the event. Applications shall be reviewed by the Chief of Police to insure the Licensee has planned for and has available the necessary resources and otherwise is capable of meeting the ordinance requirements for the sale of intoxicating liquor in exterior areas. The Chief of Police will submit to the City Clerk in writing their review of the application which shall include any comments concerning public safety issues. After the City Clerk has received the Chief of Police's review and determined all application requirements have been met, the application should be presented to the Governing Body which may approve the extension by approving an ordinance or resolution that specifies the exact times during which intoxicating liquor may be sold or consumed on the street, alley, road, highway, parking or sidewalk areas.

The City Clerk will authorize or deny the extension of the Premises once the applicant has completed all application requirements. The City Clerk shall notify the Chief of Police whenever an extension has been approved and forward a copy of the application to the Chief of Police.
