The ordinance is part of a larger plan to revitalize the downtown area and to streamline the licensing for businesses that sell alcohol. Bars in North Fresno would also be allowed to extend their hours from midnight to 2 a.m.
The council's unanimous vote to introduce the proposal is the first step in changing an existing city law. It allows the ordinance to go forward for more debate before a final vote, set for October 22, 2009.
