Zoning Panel Bans 1500-Foot Rule on New Drugstores
The zoning commission voted to bar new drugstores from selling beer or liquor within 1500 feet of existing outlets, extending the rule to drugstores and keeping groceries from expanding liquor sales. Existing drugstores may continue selling beer or liquor if already doing so. The panel also rejected broadening limits for grocery stores. The vote, taken after a public hearing with over 100 attendees, was unanimous and will take effect after legal publication next Tuesday.
