Or. Admin. R. 845-015-0135 - Public Opinion on Retail Liquor Store Location

(1) The Commission considers public opinion when it evaluates establishing or relocating a retail liquor store. The Commission seeks public opinion by:

(a) Posting a public notice at the proposed location and at the existing location, if any; and

(b) Providing a written notice to any residence, business, pre-elementary, elementary or secondary school, house of worship or alcoholic treatment facility within a minimum of a 500 foot radius of the proposed location and to the local governing body when the Commission is considering relocating a store to another governing body's jurisdiction, or when it establishes a new retail liquor store in the jurisdiction.

(2) These notices will ask for opinions on the proposed location and identify when, where and how the public can comment.

(3) The Commission will consider liquor-related public opinions. It considers these liquor-related comments together with its criteria for liquor store establishment and relocation. OAR 845-015-0110 sets out these criteria.
