A bill establishing exceptions for space and seating requirements for liquor licenses for restaurants in Riverside/Avondale commercial character zone, passed the state Senate Wednesday.
It had previously passed the House 102-1, sponsored by Reggie Fullwood, instead of Jay Fant, the area’s representative.
The goal of the bill is to provide allowances for space and seating requirements in a specialized zone called the Riverside Avondale Commercial Character Areas. The bill would reduce requirements to 100 seats (down from 150) and 1,800 square feet (down from 2,500).
