Sec. 6-131Operation only by licensee or designated manager
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.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, no holder of any alcoholic beverage license issued by the city shall permit or allow any business in which such license is utilized to be managed or operated for any period of time longer than 15 days by any person except to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this chapter who is not listed upon the initial application for such license, upon the most recent application for renewal thereof, on an amended application relative thereto which has been approved by the city council, or upon a then pending and unacted upon amended application relative thereto.
