City of Tyler Amends Alcohol Ordinances

TYLER — The Tyler City Council has approved an amendment to the city’s alcohol ordinances for certain locations in the city. KETK reports all members voted in favor of an amendment that changed the previous city rule, which limited alcohol sales to distances more than 300 feet from a school, day care, church, or hospital. The city on Wednesday voted to allow buildings that were at least 20,000 sq. ft. in size and had a natural buffer or fence to sell alcohol. The businesses in Tyler that would be affected by the change are Sam’s Club and Super Mercado Monterrey Grocery Store.
