1. Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval;
2. Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial based on the testimony received at the public hearing and/or other factors.

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. Baddies Food Joint is an existing business in Flagstaff. If approved, it will be one of 91 series 12 licenses in Flagstaff. Series 12 licenses are non-quota licenses. To view surrounding liquor licenses, please visit the Active Liquor Licenses Map. 

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

The application was properly posted on September 24, 2024 and the Police and Community Development divisions have reviewed the application and provided their respective reports. There has been one protest received and it is attached for review in the packet. Attachments associated with the complaint are on file with the City Clerk and can be provided to the public upon request.

It should be noted that a separate application for a Series 06 (bar) license has been received and will be presented to the City Council for recommendation on November 19, 2024.

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