Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  Danny Thomas, "New Jersey Pizza Company", 2224 E. Cedar Ave., #6, Series 12 (restaurant), New License.

The liquor license process begins at the State level and applications are then forwarded to the respective municipality for posting of the property and holding a public hearing, after which the Council recommendation is forwarded back to the State. A Series 12 license allows the holder of a restaurant license to sell and serve spirituous liquor solely for consumption on the premises of an establishment which derives at least forty percent (40%) of its gross revenue from the sale of food. New Jersey Pizza Company is an existing restaurant that does not currently have a liquor license. The property has been posted as required, and the Police, Community Development, and Sales Tax divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted.

There is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff as this is a recommendation to the State.

Not applicable.

Liquor licenses are a regulatory action and there is no Council goal that applies.

Not applicable.

Because the application is for a new license, consideration may be given to both the location and the applicant's personal qualifications.

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is December 2, 2016.

This business will contribute to the tax base of the community.

The application was properly posted on October 26, 2016. No written protests have been received to date.
