Our Views: Janesville made the right decision on liquor licenses

Well, actually, the city didn’t really have a quota.
For class A liquor licenses—the sort issued to retailers that sell packaged alcohol for consumption elsewhere—the city had a quota of 19. That is based on a formula of one such license for every 3,500 city residents.
Except the city had granted 25 such liquor licenses based on a 2014 ordinance amendment allowing the council to exceed the quota “… when issuance of a license would expand the trade impact of an existing business, or promote redevelopment of an underutilized commercial property or establishment of a new business within the community …”
The result was the city being six over its own limit.
