What is Alcohol Regulations / Agreement – Anaheim, CA?
The Alcohol Regulations / Agreement is the Anaheim Community Services Department (ACS) attachment, printed as the Facility Alcohol Regulations Form, in which a tenant renting an ACS facility agrees to follow the alcohol rules for the event.
The form is labeled "Agreement for Use Attachment", so it travels with the facility rental. Its header names the Brookhurst Community Center, 2271 W. Crescent Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92801. The top block records the tenant's name, the name of the organization, the type of event, the date of the event, the event time, the alcohol serving time (4 hours maximum) and the Rental #.
Below that, nine numbered regulations cover insurance and licensing, a staffed bar with no self-service, security and police requirements, the 4-hour and 10 p.m. limits, the designated drinking area, removal of alcohol at the end of service, the ban on service at events with 50% or more minors, ACS's right to end service or the event, and a ban on drinking from glass bottles.
The form is not an insurance policy, an ABC license or a business license. It states that insurance, a one-day ABC license and, after review, security guards, police officers or a business license may be required, and it has signature lines for the tenant, ACS facility staff and the ACS Superintendent's approval.
Who needs to file Alcohol Regulations / Agreement – Anaheim, CA?
The main group is tenants: the individual who contracts an ACS facility and plans to serve alcohol at the event. That person is responsible for making sure everyone in the group or attending the event follows the rules, and is responsible for the actions of guests, members and attendees.
Conditions the form attaches:
- A caterer serving the alcohol must provide a bar and a bartender to serve and monitor it during the entire event.
- Groups that made previous arrangements may serve alcohol only for the hours agreed and paid for in advance.
- If any alcohol is sold, a one-day ABC License and insurance are required.
Exclusions printed on the form: no one under 21 may consume alcohol, and alcohol service is not permitted at any event where 50% or more of attendees are minors or at any event celebrating a minor, such as a birthday, graduation, quinceñera or baptism.
ACS facility staff and the ACS Superintendent sign their own blocks. The form does not say whether anyone else may sign for the tenant.
When to file Alcohol Regulations / Agreement – Anaheim, CA
Complete the form when you apply to use an ACS facility for an event that will include alcohol; it is an attachment to the agreement for use and carries your Rental #. No separate due date is printed on it.
After you submit your application, ACS reviews it. The form says that security guards, police officers and/or a business license may be required, beginning one hour before alcohol service starts and ending one hour after it ends. You are notified of these requirements within one week of your application submission.
Written proof of all requirements must be submitted two weeks prior to your event. Failure to comply results in cancellation of the event and loss of reservation fees and processing fees.
On the day, alcohol service may not exceed 4 hours or run past 10 p.m., and it must stop one hour before the event ends.
Documents you need
- General Liability Insurance provided by the tenant: required for any alcoholic beverage service at an ACS facility, with written proof submitted two weeks before the event.
- One-day ABC License and insurance: required only if any alcohol is being sold at the event.
- Security guards, police officers and/or a business license: only if ACS requires them after reviewing your application; you are notified within one week of submission.
- Written proof of every requirement ACS sets for your event, submitted two weeks prior to the event.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Allowing guests to serve themselves; the form requires a bar set up and manned during the entire event, with no self-service of alcohol.
- Planning alcohol service longer than 4 hours or past 10 p.m., or failing to stop service one hour before the event ends.
- Requesting alcohol for an event celebrating a minor (birthday, graduation, quinceñera, baptism) or one where 50% or more of attendees are minors.
- Selling alcohol without a one-day ABC License and insurance, which the form requires whenever any alcohol is sold.
- Submitting written proof of insurance, security or licensing later than two weeks before the event, which can cancel the event and forfeit reservation and processing fees.
- Letting guests drink from glass bottles; individual consumption from glass bottles is prohibited.
- Allowing drinking outside the designated area, or leaving alcohol in the area after the contracted end of alcohol serving time.
- Using a caterer to pour alcohol without the caterer providing its own bar and bartender for the entire event.
