Section 471.302 - Temporary letter of authority for off-premises sales license applicant; revocation.
(1) Upon receiving an application for an off-premises sales license, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission may grant a temporary letter of authority for a period not exceeding 90 days, if it finds:
(a) The applicant is located in an area presently zoned for commercial use and presents documentation of such zoning to the commission.
(b) The applicant pays the fee prescribed by the commission for a temporary letter of authority.
(2) The administrator appointed by the commission under ORS 471.720 may extend a temporary letter of authority granted under the provisions of this section for a period not to exceed 30 days if the commission has not granted or denied the application at the end of the 90-day period provided for in subsection (1) of this section.
(3) A temporary letter of authority issued under this section does not constitute a license for the purposes of ORS chapter 183. The commission summarily and without prior administrative proceedings may revoke a temporary letter of authority at any time if:
(a) The commission finds that any of the grounds for refusing a license under ORS 471.313 exist; or
(b) The city or county in which the applicant is located provides evidence of reasonable grounds to the commission:
(A) That the temporary letter of authority should be revoked; or
(B) That an off-premises sales license should not be issued. [Formerly 471.262; 2003 c.337 §4]
