Sec. 6-71Recommendation
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This is the rulebook for selling, serving and drinking alcohol in Ashburn. It covers who can get a beer, wine or liquor license and how the city council grants, renews, suspends or takes one away; what hours stores and bars can sell; rules for events, BYOB ('brown bagging') and catering; the city's alcohol excise taxes; and a ban on drinking or open containers on city streets and property.
The finance director shall conduct investigation and study with respect to an application for the issuance of an alcoholic beverage license as he shall deem necessary and shall report the investigation and study to the city manager together with his recommendation, if any, as to what action should be taken with respect to the grant or denial of the application for such license and the city manager shall in turn conduct such additional investigation as he shall deem necessary and report the investigation to the city council with his recommendation as to what action should be taken with respect to the grant or denial of the application for such license.
