2. New language that states Liquor Sales cannot be part of any ordinance relief request that is associated with any Planned Unit Development (PUD).

3. Variances cannot be requested and granted to provide relief in any distance requirement for liquor sales.

4. Any permit, certificate of occupancy, or other approval for Liquor Sales shall expire if the operations of the said use cease for a continuous period of 90 days by discontinuation or abandonment.
