Summary

The bill adds the City of Portsmouth to the list of Virginia localities that may attach an expiration condition to any special zoning exception granted to a retail alcoholic beverage licensee. The exception would end automatically if the property changes owners, possession, management, or after a set period. This ensures local control over alcohol‑related land uses and provides a clear trigger for re‑evaluation of those permits.
