A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (Zoning Permit) is a use or activity that may be allowed in a zoning district only upon showing that such use or activity can or will comply with all criteria and standards as outlined in the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan.

A Conditional Use Permit/Zoning Permit allows a city or county to consider special uses which may be essential or desirable to a particular community, but which are not allowed as a matter of right within a zoning district, but rather through a public hearing process.  A conditional use permit can provide flexibility within a zoning ordinance.  Another traditional purpose of the conditional use permit is to enable a municipality to control certain uses which could have detrimental effects on the community.

• Find out from your local City or County Planning Department whether or not you need a conditional use permit (CUP) at the location where you plan to sell liquor.

• The cost and time frames to secure the conditional use permit vary by county and city throughout the state.

• Some locations the county or city may require a special use permit (SUP) which generally serves the same purpose as a CUP.

• There are some cases where a CUP may not be required, but these exceptions are rare.

• A location is possibly exempted from needing a CUP, only if the location has been licensed in the last one to six months with the same type of license (#41, 47, 48, 20 or 21) or (“grandfathered in”).

• The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control requires you to have begun the CUP process (applied for the CUP) prior to filing the alcoholic beverage license application.

• If a CUP is required for a specific location, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will not issue a license for that location until a CUP has been issued.

• It is your responsibility to see if you need a CUP for your new location.

• If you are not sure how to complete the CUP process or exemption request or need help in securing a favorable outcome of the local decision, feel free to contact us below.
