Pursuant to A.R.S. 4-203, a spirituous liquor license shall be issued only after satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications and reliability of the applicant and that the public convenience and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance. If an application is filed for the issuance of a license for a location, that on the date the application is filed has a valid license of the same series issued at that location, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the public convenience and best interest of the community at that location was established at the time the location was previously licensed.

Applicant’s Statement

The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.

 

I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:

“I am a responsible purveyor of local wine, beer and cocktails, who has completed the required trainings to serve liquor. Additionally, I am committed as a business owner and community member to the legal, safe and healthy service of liquor.”

 

The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:

“The offering of a small, local restaurant in the area provides not only a place for community members to partake in local fare, but also to support the 19 North area with an additional business/community member. This will only serve to enhance the area and bring attention to the opportunities that exist for small businesses in North Central Phoenix, specifically, the 19 North corridor.”
