Since it is historic, it is considered one of the city's Special Planning Areas; therefore, it has regulations on what types of businesses can be there.
"We're not talking about rowdy biker bars going until 3 a.m.," said Elk Grove's Economic Development Director Darrell Doan. "We are talking about classy places in a historic district run by really tried and true operators."
Businesses like restaurants that also serve qualify do not count as one of these types of establishments.
The city's historic preservation committee is raising safety concerns and believes there are at least 10 spots in the area that serve alcohol. It wants the city to conduct an updated count.
Doan said the plan is to add cameras, more lighting and increase police patrols during peak hours.
Doan said they currently have an application already for a business called "Old Town Pub" that would serve high-end cocktails.
The city council will be discussing this possible change in Old Town at its Wednesday night meeting.
