ORDINANCE

WHEREAS, On June 12, 2019, the City Council passed Ordinance 02019-2725 (the "Ordinance"), which amended section 4-60-023 of the Municipal Code ("Code") by repealing a liquor moratorium in the Forty-ninth Ward; and

WHEREAS, This ordinance purported to repeal 4-60-023 (49.68): "On the north side only of Devon Avenue, from Greenview Avenue to Glenwood Avenue." However, the text actually read: "On the North side of Devon Avenue, from Sheridan Road to Greenview Avenue." This would have had the effect of repealing adjacent moratoria as well — 4-60-023 (49.69 and 49.70); and

WHEREAS, To promote effective regulation and eliminate potential confusion in future application of the Ordinance, it is useful and appropriate to correct this textual error in geographic coverage; now, therefore,

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:

SECTION 1. The Ordinance is hereby amended by replacing the erroneous struck-through text, namely: "On the North side of Devon Avenue, from Sheridan Road to Greenview Avenue" with the following struck-through text:

4-60-023 Restrictions on additional licenses.

 

Subject to the provisions of subsection 4-60-021 (c), no additional package goods license shall be issued for any premises located within the following areas:

(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

 

(49.68)        On the north side only of Devon Avenue, from Greenview Avenuo to Glenwood Avenue.

(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and publication and shall be deemed to apply retroactively to the effective date of the Ordinance.
