Suzanne Atktns, Deputy City Attorney, responded to Jack Miller that limiting alcohol signage to the interior may create a constitutional challenge if we discriminate against the type or product advertised; a 25% limitation would be a practical way to handle it. Commissioner Wetl requested a change to Resolution 2396 I.C.last line, "Refrigerated single-serving beverage containers shall be located in an enclosed refrigeration unit no less than ten (10) feet from the point of sale". Ethel Reynolds, Parents Who Care, expressed concern that any new requirements would not apply in East Tustin. They requested changes be applied against East Tustin and future annexations areas.
