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:
“Currently, Sardella's Pizza and Wings at 4212 W. Cactus Rd. in Phoenix, AZ hold a series 7 liquor license and sells and delivers alcohol. An AOC was required due to the passing of Gayle Sardella on December 13, 2016. Removing Gayle Sardella and adding Sardella Family Trust, dated December 6, 1995 are the only changes. No change to location, hours of operation, day-to-day procedures and operations and beer and wine menu.”
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.
