This request is for a new liquor license for a restaurant. This location was not previously licensed for liquor sales and does not have an interim permit. This business is currently being remodeled with plans to open in April 2019.

 

The 60-day limit for processing this application is March 19, 2019.

 

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 have no violations or crimes on my record. From working in corporate America and managing and owning businesses has gave me the experience and has taught me many skills such as managing employees and controlling situations. I believe managing successful businesses with zero violations gives me experience to run a quick service restaurant with a liquor license.”

 

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

“The community will benefit from having a quick service restaurant serving beer. Also having the spring training facility across the street will allow locals to visit the restaurant during breaks. Also we will hold community fundraisers for local sporting teams, and also ask the community what they would like.”

 

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of this application noting the applicant must resolve any pending City of Phoenix building and zoning requirements, and be in compliance with the City of Phoenix Code and Ordinances.
