This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Village of Pleasantville Law Regulating the Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in Public Places."
[Amended 9-12-1983 by L.L. No. 9-1983]
The Village Board of Trustees has determined that the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public places often leads to disorders, nuisance and related problems as well as the littering of such public places and is disturbing to the public and threatens peace and good order.
A place to which the public or a substantial group of persons has access, and includes, but is not limited to, highways, transportation facilities, schools, places of amusement, parks, playgrounds and hallways, lobbies and other portions of apartment houses not constituting rooms or apartments designed for actual residence.
Prohibited. No person shall, within the Village of Pleasantville, drink or otherwise consume liquor, wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages while such person is in or upon any public sidewalk, street, highway, transportation facility, parking lot, swimming pool, public park or such other public place as defined by § 240.00 of the Penal Law of the State of New York.
Possession of open containers. No person shall carry or have in his or her possession, within the Village of Pleasantville, any open bottle, can or open container containing liquor, wine, beer or other alcoholic beverage with the intent of the possessor or another to consume the same in any of the public places described in Subsection A of this section.
Such an open bottle, can or container in any vehicle while in or on any public sidewalk, street, highway, parking lot, public park or other public place as defined by § 240.00 of the Penal Law of the State of New York shall be presumptive evidence that the same is in the possession of all the occupants thereof.
Exemption. Persons purchasing alcoholic beverages from duly licensed sidewalk cafes may consume such alcoholic beverages in the public areas as defined in the authorized permit.
[Added 8-29-1994 by L.L. No. 20-1994]
The foregoing prohibition against drinking, alcoholic beverages in public places or possessing open, unsealed, resealed or partially empty bottles, cans or containers of such alcoholic beverage shall not apply nor be a violation of this chapter in the event of a gathering which has been granted a special permit by the Village Clerk according to regulations approved by the Village Board of Trustees of the Village of Pleasantville, nor to any place licensed by the State of New York to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. There shall be a fee for the special permit as set forth by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees in the Master Fee Schedule, which may be amended from time to time.
