(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.
