Legal Documents of Maryville

The City of Maryville will issue caterer's permits to allow persons who hold state-issued permits to serve wine and alcohol as a caterer to also be able to serve beer in the city as a caterer. "Caterer" shall have the same definition for the purpose of this section that it has under state law. Any holder of a city-issued caterer's permit shall have a valid Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission ("TBAC") caterer's permit and shall provide a copy of the same to the city recorder with the initial application for a city caterer's permit and each year thereafter in order to renew the permit. The caterer must be engaged in the sale or service of beer where beer is to be consumed by the customer or his or her guests upon the premises of the catered event site. Should the holder of a city-issued caterer's permit cease to hold a valid caterer's license from the TBAC, such caterer's permit pertaining to beer shall automatically be revoked. A city-issued caterer's permit shall be for one (1) year from the date of the issuance and shall only be valid for up to three (3) consecutive days at any single location within a one (1) week period. No caterer's permit shall be valid for the sale or consumption of beer on any premises within one hundred feet (100') of any church or public school to the nearest point of the premises where beer is sold or consumed, except that this provision shall not be applicable to permits located within the Central Business District, the Central Transition Zone, the Washington Street Commercial Corridor, and the High Intensity Commercial Zoning District of the City of Maryville. An application fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) must be submitted with the initial application. Renewal will be processed free of charge. (Ord. #2020-19, Aug. 2020)
