Background/History:
An application for a person and location transfer Series 07 liquor license was received from John Kennelly for Historic Brewing Company Barrel House, 110 S. San Francisco St. The person transfer is from Andrea Mendoza for Elk Ridge Ski Area located at 875 Ski Run Rd., Williams, Arizona.
A background investigation performed by Sgt. Matt Wright of the Flagstaff Police Department resulted in a recommendation for approval.
A background investigation performed by Tom Boughner, Code Compliance Manager, resulted in no active code violations being reported. However, it was noted that the Community Commercial Zone does not allow bars and taverns. As a result, the owners of the Historic Brewing Company Barrel and Bottle House have partnered with Proper Meats and Provisions, an adjoining business within the same building, to ensure state standards and zoning code provisions will be achieved. The partnership has been formalized in a letter attached to Mr. Boughner's memo.
Sales tax and licensing information was reviewed by Ranbir Cheema, Tax, Licensing & Revenue Manager, who stated that the business is in compliance with the tax and licensing requirements of the City.
