Licenses. So moved by Alderman Peterson; seconded by Alderman Frieders.

was created in the 2000s, but no business has ever applied for this class of license. The number of
licenses available for Class A licenses are proposed to be capped at one license for a Class A-3 license for
a gasoline service station and two licenses for a Class A-4 license for video gaming cafes. Class A-1 and
A-2 licenses(excluding gasoline service stations and video gaming cafes)are proposed to be capped at
six total licenses combined between the A-1 and A-2 license classes. The geographic restrictions for

be uncapped and the geographic restrictions for these licenses to be removed as well.
