§ 4-0. Definitions.  

Latest version.

  • Words relating to liquor licensing used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in state statute. The following additional definitions shall also apply to this section and appendix A zoning:

    Wine and craft beer cafe: A duly licensed place of business serving wine and/or craft beer for consumption on the premises where the package sale in sealed containers of wine by the bottle and craft beer in six packs or greater for consumption off the premises is incidental to the sale of wine and craft beer for consumption on the premises, and that derives not less than 20 percent of its gross revenue from the on-premises sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages. A wine and craft beer cafe shall have 20 seats or more at standard height dining room tables or booths, and not less than 50 percent of the beer sold shall be craft beer. Craft beer shall further be defined as a beer produced by a brewery with annual production of 6,000,000 barrels (bbbls) of beer or less and with less than 25 percent of the craft brewery owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by a beverage alcohol industry member that is not itself a craft brewer.

    Restaurant: A business advertised and held out to the public to be a place where full-course meals are prepared, in a full service kitchen with a commercial stove, refrigerator and oven, and served on a regular basis from a prepared menu, which facility provides seating with standard height dining room tables or booths of adequate size to accommodate the service of full-course meals in accordance with the number of chairs found at the table, with such seating exclusive of seating at bars, counters or cocktail tables. The primary operation of the restaurant shall be for the serving of full-course meals. As required in the state alcoholic beverage laws, a restaurant must derive at least 51 percent of its gross revenue from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages. Revenue records provided to the state shall be provided to the village, upon written request, for determination of percentage requirements. No person shall attempt to circumvent the intent of this subsection by any artifice or scheme, such as the serving of stock meals. The term "stock meals" as used in this subsection, includes but is not limited to the serving of cold plates, snacks, hors d'oeuvres, microwave oven heated foods or previously prepared sandwiches.
