Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - 45th Alcoholic Beverages District - Licenses
SB 304 authorizes Baltimore City's Board of License Commissioners to issue a new Class C beer, wine, and liquor license for businesses operating in the 400 block of East Oliver Street within the 45th Alcoholic Beverages District. The license requires outdoor service only (no indoor seating), prohibits off-premises sales, mandates service begin no earlier than 10 a.m., and requires a memorandum of understanding with the Greenmount West Community Association. The bill also modifies operating hour boundaries for existing Class A and Class B-D-7 licenses in the 45th district. This directly affects businesses seeking this specific license type and the Greenmount West community through the required community agreement.
