Title
Entertainment District Exemption Application - 110 E. Roosevelt St.
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve an exemption to the 300-foot distance restriction for consideration of a liquor license for the property located at 110 E. Roosevelt St.
Report
Summary
On June 17, 2015, City Council approved the creation of an Entertainment District in Downtown Phoenix, adopted into law through Resolution 21333. Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) 4-207, an Entertainment District allows a municipality’s governing body to approve an exemption from the 300-foot distance restriction applicable to churches and schools and certain liquor licenses. Such exemptions are approved on a case-by-case basis if both the applicant and the neighboring church or school are located in a designated Entertainment District. Exemptions, if approved, are granted to the property only, and will remain in place even if a change in the business or ownership occurs.
The applicant, The Theodore Beer Bar & Bottle Shop proposes to locate a bar at 110 E. Roosevelt St. The location is currently restricted from pursuing certain series of liquor licenses due to its proximity to the Roosevelt Community Church located at 924 N. 1st St. A use permit to allow alcohol sales and services within 300 feet of a church in an Entertainment District was approved on June 13, 2019 by the Zoning Adjustment Hearing Officer with the following stipulations:
The outdoor patio along Roosevelt Street shall be limited to a maximum of 5 feet in depth from the building wall.
1 year to apply and pay for building permits.
General conformance to the floor plan date stamped May 7, 2019.
This exemption is not a recommendation of approval of a liquor license. A separate liquor license application will be heard by City Council. This property is located within the designated Entertainment District in Downtown Phoenix and needs to be heard before the related liquor license file 19-1848. This item is a Formal Action item.
