Body
Key Issues:
Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lee’s Summit regulates the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages within the City of Lee’s Summit.
Section 4-13 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lee’s Summit declares it unlawful to sell, dispense, or give away alcoholic beverages, nor shall a license be granted for the sale of alcoholic beverages within one hundred (100) feet of any school, church, or other building regularly used as a place of religious worship.

The desired amendment shall be in accordance with Chapter 311 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri which provides for statewide regulations on the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages and promote the efficient administration and regulation of alcoholic beverages within the city.
