Proposed Code Changes Workshop (6/23) RMC 5.07 Alcoholic Beverages

The City of Reno held a workshop on June 23, 2026, to discuss proposed changes to the Reno Municipal Code (RMC) 5.07 concerning alcoholic beverages. The meeting focused on updating definitions, streamlining license sections, and clarifying regulations related to alcohol delivery services, catering licenses, cabaret licenses, and location restrictions near sensitive uses such as schools and parks. Key procurement-related topics included administrative approvals for license changes, temporary closures, and security plans for new licenses. The discussion also addressed compliance with state alcohol delivery statutes, the responsibility of delivery services, and the potential impact of location-based restrictions on business development. Stakeholders provided feedback on definitions, operational concerns, and regulatory clarity. The city plans to gather further public comments before presenting a staff report to the City Council for policy discussion and potential adoption.
