MEETING DATE: October 3, 2024
TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: Jeff Fisher, AICP
Strategic Development and Policy Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request by the City of Odessa, applicant, to
amend Chapter 4 Business Regulations, Article 4-2
Alcoholic Beverages of the City Code of Ordinances to
update the City’s approval process and enforcement
procedures for alcoholic beverage licenses to enhance
public safety (Text Amendment only - All Districts).
2024-11-Z
The Development Department has prepared an update to the City’s approval process
for obtaining Alcoholic Beverage Licenses to be consistent with the Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission (TABC), to ensure expedient processing and approval of
licenses, and to implement procedures to improve enforcement and enhance public
safety.
The current process is found in Chapter 4, Article 2, of the City Code of Ordinances,
which requires that anyone selling alcoholic beverages in the city whether on-premises
(e.g., a bar or restaurant), or off-premises (e.g., a liquor store or convenience store that
sells alcohol) must obtain a City Alcoholic Beverage License and renew every year. The
applicant must also obtain a license or permit for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission (TABC) every two years (TABC requires a mixed beverage establishment
to obtain a “permit” while beer and wine sales require a “license” but otherwise, they are
interchangeable).
Staff discovered the following issues:
• The City requires a license every year, but TABC only requires a license or permit
every two (2) years. This can make tracking of approvals and enforcement more
difficult because of this overlap.
• Once a new City license is issued, not all applicants were returning to review.
They would submit a checklist to confirm the property was adequately zoned, the
alcohol establishment met the minimum setback from a church or school and
was located in a wet area (where alcohol is allowed to be sold), but they would
not obtain the renewal license from City Billing and Collection.
• The enforcement process in Article 4-2 of the City Code did not outline a process
for enforcement, e.g., who does what and when. It only described what the
penalties were, and these were only for City offenses, not those only TABC or
the Texas Penal Code.
• While the Odessa Police Department (OPD) and TABC handle enforcement
when it violates their jurisdictions, there was not consistent communication
between the City, OPD, and TABC. Having regular and consistent checks and
balances through an updated process would better ensure that alcohol
establishments in violation would be prosecuted, while owners without issues
could proceed expeditiously and obtain their licenses and renewals without delay.
Proposed Amendment:
After conducting the above research, the Development Department is proposing an
updated Article 4-2 approval process for alcoholic beverage licenses to ensure
businessowners can obtain their licenses in a timely manner, that all departments and
agencies work together in review and enforcement, and that there is a mechanism to
suspend or revoke a license where an applicant continuously does not follow due process
or commits multiple crimes of offenses.
Updated Procedures for
Alcoholic Beverage Licenses
Section Process
Application submittal Required for new businesses and renewals of existing businesses. Licenses now
good for two (2) years consistent with 2-year timeline for TABC Licenses. Submit
renewal application at least 30 days before expiry.
Processing fee The City Licensing Fee may be up to ½ of the Statutory Fee set by State Law.
City License Fees are already set and there are no current plans to change them.
The fee would now be paid every 2 years instead of every year to be consistent
with TABC. Here are some examples:
• Beer on-premises: now $150.00 every 2 years (before: $75.00 every year)
• Beer and wine on-premises: now $175.00 every 2 years) (before: $87.50
every year)
• Mixed beverage on-premises: still no fee for first 3 years, then $375.00 per
year (at beginning of year 5, would now pay $375.00 for year 4 fee, and then
$750.00 for every subsequent 2 year renewal). (before: $375.00 per year
starting in year 4).
Internal Review Application now circulated to OPD (criminal background check), Billing and
Process Collection (check if TABC application is active), Building Inspections (check for
permits), Planning (check zoning, setbacks, and parking), and City Secretary
(check if located in a wet area where alcohol can be sold). New process will
ensure interdepartmental and interagency cooperation and identify any issues.
(before: applicant verifies zoning with Planning and setbacks with Permits but
other departments and OPD were not part of process)
Additional Applicants will now be required to submit a site plan that shows the property
requirements by location and parking, and a floor plan showing the area where alcohol is served
Planning and consumed. Planning will also check that the business is at least 300 feet from
a church, public or private school, or public hospital, and 1,500 feet from a sexually
oriented business.
Private schools were added as part of the ordinance but the 300 feet setback
under state law only applies where the school is within 300 feet of a business that
does not sell food. Private schools within 300 feet of a restaurant selling alcohol,
with 100 students or less, and not teaching a course between kindergarten and
Grade 12 are exempt from this setback. The sexually oriented business setback
is required to be checked for these types of licenses but was not being checked
for alcohol licenses. Adding this to the ordinance ensures these businesses are
also checked as part of alcohol license reviews.
Additional In addition to reviewing for criminal convictions, OPD may require for a renewal
requirements by OPD license that an applicant with a history of convictions install security cameras, hire
security or OPD to patrol during business hours, or complete a Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED) course.
Decision and appeals Billing and Collection will issue an approval letter if all reviewees have
recommended approval. However, an application will be denied if the applicant
fails to comply with one or more of the reviewees comments.
An applicant may appeal to the City Manager within 10 days of a denial. The City
Manager may approve or defer to City Council who make a final decision at a
public meeting.
Final approval and Billing and Collections will no longer issue the applicant a City license until the
license issuance applicant shows prove they have received a subsequent license from TABC. At
that time, Billing and Collections with issue the physical license and the applicant
will be required to post this license in a location on the building visible from the
outside.
Enforcement Currently, there is no enforcement process in the City Code outlining who does
what and when.
The updated Code allows the City Manager or City Council to suspend up to 60
days or revoke a city alcohol license for various offenses or crimes.
Suspensions may be issued where a TABC license has also been suspended,
where the applicant fails to allow city or OPD to inspect a property or implement
certain conditions required by OPD, or for misdemeanors.
Revocations may be issued where a TABC license has also been revoked, for
city code violations and offenses upon conviction at a municipal court, for felony
crimes, and for repeated misdemeanors.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed update amending Chapter 4 Business
Regulations, Article 4-2 Alcoholic Beverages of the City Code of Ordinances to update the

Jeff Fisher Presents:
Staff esearch ̀ and Public Input
he ̀ city is updating its oning ̀ ordinance for alcohol and beverage systems, which hasnt ̀ been
updated in over forty years. he ̀ goal is to simplify the ordinance and align with changes made
by the Texas lcoholic ̀ everage ̀ Commission (TABC). he ̀ police department is now included
to ensure standards are met. ̀ recent town hall meeting clarified the citys ̀ ideas and gathered
feedback. he ̀ city will reuire ̀ permits every two years, similar to TABC, and will implement a
site plan reuirement ̀ for licensing. Fees and enforcement processes have been revised. he ̀
dessa ̀ Police epartment ̀ will play a role in the review process. he ̀ entire process will be
conducted online to epedite ̀ reviews. Specific reuirements ̀ for alcohol sales near schools,
churches, and hospitals have been outlined. ntertainment ̀ businesses involving alcohol will
reuire ̀ separate permits. he ̀ city aims to enforce annual renewal to ensure compliance and
safety. he ̀ regulations and procedures will be updated to prevent incidents related to alcohol
distribution.
uring ̀ a recent meeting, various concerns were raised regarding the renewal process for
licenses, safety procedures, and the review process for special events. here ̀ was a
discussion about the need for city departments to review special event licenses and the
enforcement of eisting ̀ reuirements. ̀ dditionally, ̀ there were uestions ̀ about communication
between departments and the accessibility of the review process for individuals who may not
be familiar with computer systems. he ̀ meeting also addressed the inclusion of offpremises ̀
establishments in licensing reuirements ̀ and the rationale behind involving multiple
departments in the review process.
uring ̀ the meeting, Elizabeth Shaughnessy mentioned that the illing ̀ and Collection
department does handle cashiering, so they prefer not to make applicants walk back and forth
until the technology is updated. hen ̀ Member Connie Coots inuired ̀ about whether
temporary licenses for individual homes hosting events would reuire ̀ four different site plans
and permits, Elizabeth Shaughnessy stated that thorough research will be conducted to
determine if eceptions ̀ or new standards need to be created for those oneday ̀ permits.
Connie Coots also brought up the issue of TABC fees and whether the city would impose
additional fees. Matt avison, ̀ ssistant ̀ City Chief of P, ̀ clarified that the discussion was not
about the events mentioned, but rather about addressing problematic bar owners or event
coordinators. he ̀ members agreed that individual tasks should not complicate the order for
establishments, and that voting on the matter might pose challenges.
uring ̀ the discussion, Jimmy Peacock inuired ̀ about whether the running money function
is solely handled by the cashier department, to which the staff confirmed until the planning
staff develops the process. Melissa Prieto raised a uestion ̀ about the delegation of tasks to
one department and whether hiring more people would resolve the issue. n ̀ response, the
staffing management indicated that Planning lacks the authority to conduct background
checks and that the process involves more than ust ̀ paperwork. Matt avidson ̀ then
emphasied ̀ the importance of reviewing location suspicions and previous records to ustify ̀
the necessity of these reviews.
Jeff Fisher will outline background check regulations in the checklist. Craig Stoker raised
uestions ̀ about TABC list steps, and staff actions have caused additional issues for
establishments. fter ̀ consulting with resources, corrections were made to the PowerPoint.
e ̀ aim to address criminal convictions to establish safety standards. he ̀ current City code
will guide us, and necessary corrections will be discussed at the upcoming city council
meeting. Craig Stoker emphasied ̀ the need for accurate documentation and cleanup.
Chairman Jimmy Peacock states the case being a public hearing, opens the meeting for
audience or concerns, hearing none, closes the public portion turns to member for further
discussion or motion.
(Jeff Fisher recommends if approval, to imply power point conditions to be amended with the
approval)
