KL3 Restrictions to Restaurant Liquor Licenses Waivers

As authorized by state law the sales of alcoholic beverages and cannabis may not be located within 300 feet of a school, church, or child day care facility. Albuquerque Public Schools will oppose in all cases alcohol or cannabis sales, or the granting of any waiver to a restaurant for the purpose of allowing the serving of alcoholic beverages within three hundred (300) feet of a school site in which instruction of students normally takes place. These sales and the granting of such a waiver would increase the risk to students and staff of encountering intoxicated persons who may potentially interfere with or negatively impact the instructional process; and, would increase the danger of vehicular accidents within the walk zones surrounding the school.
