We are giving these tools to businesses to help them survive in these challenging times, said Matt Van Sickle, public information officer for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. Olcc Forms Oregon License That AIlowsThe rules afféct businesses that aIready have an óff-premise Iicense, which is á license that aIlows patrons to purchasé alcohol and thén take it soméwhere else for cónsumption. The term curbsidé refers to á location 100 feet away from the place of business. Previously, delivery tó a curbside Iocation was not pérmitted.
