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.

 

The 60-day limit for processing this application was Aug. 22, 2022. However, a request for more time was submitted to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.

 

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. The presumption shall not apply once the licensed location has not been in use for more than 180 days.

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

“I have read and understand the license requirements given in A.R.S. 4-202, 4-203, 4-203.06, 4-203.07 and 4-205.13. I fully meet all qualifications listed therein. Being a retired Navy Captain and retired Raytheon Senior Engineer Fellow confirms that I have the capability, reliability, and maturity to accept the responsibility of holding 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:

“Knead Luv is a dedicated gluten-free bakery that offers an allergen-safe environment for our customers with special needs diets and others who simply prefer eating healthier food. Adding a small bar area to our restaurant serves the best interest of the community because it will create a new option for our celiac customers to have a drink and enjoy our delicious food.”
