Section I. The city council of the city of Maplewood hereby amends Article III, Division
2, section 6-130, of the Maplewood code of ordinances as follows:
Sec. 6-130. - Suspension or revocation of licenses; imposition of conditions.

resale;
(3) Conducted or permitted the conduct of gambling on the licensed premises in
violation of the law;

alcoholic beverages.
(b) No suspension or revocation takes effect until the license or permit holder has
been given an opportunity for a hearing under Minn. Stats. §§ 14.57-14.69, but
nothing in this section requires the city to conduct the hearing before an employee
of the state office of administrative hearings. Imposition of a penalty or suspension
by either the city or the state commissioner of public safety does not preclude
imposition of an additional penalty or suspension by the other so long as the total
penalty or suspension does not exceed the stated maximum. Imposition of civil
penalty does not preclude charging under appropriate criminal statutes by city,
county, state or federal agencies.
(c) When a basis is found to impose reasonable conditions and/or restrictions on a
license or permit issued or held under this code, one or more such reasonable
conditions and/or restrictions may be imposed on such license or permit for the
purpose of promoting public health, safety and welfare; advancing public peace;
eliminating conditions or actions that constitute a nuisance or a detriment to the
peaceful enjoyment of life; or promoting security and safety in nearby
neighborhoods. Such reasonable conditions and/or restrictions may include or
pertain to, but are not limited to the following:
(1) A limitation on the hours of operation of the licensed business or
establishment or on particular types of activities conducted in or on said
business or establishment;
(2) A limitation or restriction as to the location within the licensed business or
establishment where particular types of activities may be conducted;
(3) A limitation as to the means of ingress or egress from the licensed
establishment or its parking lot or immediately adjacent areas, including
requiring the use of appropriate security measures for ingress and egress;
(4) A requirement to provide off-street parking in excess of other requirements of
law as well as providing adequate evidence of the right to use parking that is
not located on the licensee's property;
(5) A limitation on the manner and means of advertising the operation or
merchandise of the licensed establishment;

(6) Conditions related to the required security elements and procedures
necessary for continued operations;
(7) Requirements related to ensuring adequate training and staffing for security
and alcohol service by any person employed by or under contract with the
licensee; and
(8) Any other reasonable condition or restriction limiting the operation of the
licensed business or establishment to ensure that the business or
establishment will harmonize with the character of the area in which it is
located or to prevent the development or continuation of a nuisance.
The city council may impose such conditions on any license or permit holder with the
consent of the license or permit holder, or upon notice and an opportunity for hearing in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above. The city council may impose
such conditions upon a license or permit at the time of issuance, renewal, or at any time
during the term of the license or permit. Conditions imposed upon a license or permit
shall remain on such license or permit when renewed and shall continue thereafter until
removed by an action of the city council. A license or permit holder may request that the
city council remove any conditions imposed on a license or permit, except that the
license or permit holder shall have no right to make such request for six months from the
date the conditions are imposed.
