Discharge and dismissal under this subsection may occur only once with respect to any person.
(j)Unless the officer has reasonable cause to believe such person is intoxicated, a law enforcement officer may arrest by issuance of a citation a person accused of violating only subsection (a)(2) of this section. The citation shall enumer-ate the specific charges against the person and either the date upon which the person is to appear and answer the charges or a notation that the person will be later notified of the date upon which the person is to appear and answer the charges. If the person charged shall fail to appear as required, the judge having jurisdiction of the offense may issue a warrant or other order directing the apprehension of such person and commanding that such person be brought before the court to answer the charges contained within the citation and the charge of such person's failure to appear as required.

(b)Intent and declaration. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 3-3-7(c)(2), it is the intention and declaration of the city to provide for the creation of special entertainment districts and to regulate the licensing, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages therein.
(c)Modifications and exceptions. The licensing and regulation of alcoholic beverages in special entertainment districts shall be the same as that required for the city at large, with the following modifications and exceptions:
(1)In addition to the requirements imposed by section 10-62, a license for the sale of distilled spirits by the drink in a special entertainment district may issue to an applicant for the operation of a freestanding bar. A freestanding bar, as used in this subsection, means a bar facility which is not required to meet the definition of premises, as defined in section 10-1. Further, as provided in the definition of premises, any area or patio shall be immediately adjacent to the main licensed facility and located on property owned or leased by such licensee; however, licensed establishments in special entertainment districts shall be exempt from the remaining requirements applicable to such immediately adjacent areas of patios.
(2)Sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in a special entertainment district.
i.The sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in a special entertainment district shall only be permitted in or on the commercial facilities and shall not be permitted in or on the public facilities, including the mall facilities, except as provided herein.

Furthermore, "restaurants," as such term is defined in section 10-1 of this chapter, which are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages and which are adjacent to and which have an entrance or exit onto the portions of Upper Alabama Street which lie between Central Avenue and Pryor Street or between Pryor Street and Peachtree Street are not prohibited from allowing the removal and consumption of alcoholic beverages beyond their licensed premises as long as any such alcoholic beverages which are removed or consumed beyond the premises of the licensed establishment are only consumed within the above described portions of Upper Alabama Street and while patrons of such licensed restaurants are seated at tables owned by the restaurant which are completely enclosed, except for a single point of ingress and egress that is controlled by the licensee of such restaurant, by a wall, fence, shrubbery or other decorative material no less than 30 inches in height. Before any alcoholic beverage may be sold or consumed in any of the above-referenced areas, the management entity of the special entertainment district must utilize a security plan that has been approved by the Atlanta Police Department. Any time an additional restaurant which is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages leases space with an entrance or exit onto the portions of Upper Alabama Street which lie between Central Avenue and Pryor Street or between Pryor Street and Peachtree Street, and before any alcoholic beverages can be consumed off premises by patrons of the additional restaurant, the management entity of the special entertainment district must submit to the Atlanta Police Department a security plan reflecting such addition which must be utilized by the management entity-of the special entertainment district upon approval by the Atlanta Police Department.

Any alcoholic beverages which are consumed in any of the above-referenced areas shall be dispensed and transported only in plastic containers bearing the name of the respective licensed establishment from which the alcoholic beverage was dispensed.
iv.Notwithstanding the definition of "premises" contained in section 10-1 of this chapter, alcoholic beverage licensees are required to adequately supervise and monitor the areas within which their patrons are lawfully allowed to consume alcoholic beverages and the failure to do so may be grounds to deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, or assess a fine against any licensee in accordance with the provisions of City of Atlanta Alcohol Code Section 10-109 if such violations are found to be attributable to the licensee.
v.Kenny's Alley, Lower Alabama Street, Lower Pryor Street, the Exchange Area, the Food Court and the above-described portions of Upper Alabama Street shall be cleared of patrons within 30 minutes after the time set by section 10-209(e) and (f) of this chapter for the discontinuance of the sale of alcoholic beverages.
