Information
TITLE:
Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application: Lynn Shulman, “Majestic Marketplace", 601 E. Piccadilly Dr., #95, Series 07 (beer and wine bar) and Series 09 (liquor store - all spirituous liquor) with sampling privileges, Person and Location Transfer.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Hold the Public Hearing; absent any valid concerns received from the public hearing, staff recommends the Council forward a recommendation for approval to the State.
Executive Summary:
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. Series 07 and Series 09 licenses must be obtained through the person/location transfer of an existing license from another business. The Series 07 license is being transferred from Omar Castro with Pizza By George, located in Flagstaff and the Series 09 license is being transferred from Gus Baber from Winona Trading Post just outside Flagstaff.
The applicant is requesting to stack the Series 07 and Series 09 licenses which is permitted. The two licenses together would allow the business to operate both as a liquor store that sells all spirituous liquors in the original unbroken package, to be taken away from the premises of the retailer and consumed off the premises, as well as a beer and wine bar that serves beer and wine to be consumed on the premises. Sampling privileges are also being requested at this location.
The property has been posted as required, and the Police, Community Development and Sales Tax divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted.
