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 10 license allows a retail store to sell beer and wine (no other spirituous liquors), only in the original unbroken package, to be taken away from the premises of the retailer and consumed off the premises.

Farley's Market is a new business that is moving into the old Lazy Boy retail store location. The property has been posted as required, and the Police Department, 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.

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

Not applicable. 

1) Table the item if additional information or time is needed.
2) Make no recommendation.
3) Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval.
4) Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial, stating the reasons for such recommendation.

 

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

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is January 9, 2015.

This business will contribute to the tax base of the community. We are not aware of any other relevant considerations.

The application was properly posted on December 15, 2015. No written protests have been received to date.
