Chattahoochee Hills’ 2024 ordinance broadened on-site alcohol licensing to other food-service facilities

Chattahoochee Hills adopted an alcohol-licensing amendment on March 5, 2024, extending eligibility for on-premises consumption licenses beyond restaurants to other qualifying food-service facilities. Ordinance 24-03-272 took effect upon adoption.

Under the amendment, a facility can meet the service requirement by offering regular sit-down dessert or light fare at least three days a week, instead of serving at least one meal a day on three days each week. It must regularly serve food to the public for pay and have a public dining room or eat-in area, adequate sanitary kitchen facilities and staff to prepare and serve food.

At least 50% of total sales must come from food and nonalcoholic beverages consumed on the premises. Vending-machine sales are excluded, and minimum or cover charges do not count toward total sales or food-and-beverage sales. This account describes the 2024 ordinance; the supplied record does not establish later amendments or any individual business’s license approval.
