Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  Evan Anderson, "Drinking Horn", 506 N. Grant St., Suite K, Series 13 (Farm Winery), 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 13 license is for a winery located in Arizona that produces at least 200 gallons but not more than 40,000 gallons of wine annually. The license has on and off-sale retail privileges and allows the holder to sell, deliver and serve wine produced on the premises for on and off-sale consumption and sampling. The property has been posted as required, and the Police and Sales Tax divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted. Community Development did note that the applicant has not yet received concept site plan approval for the establishment of this new use in the Light Industrial Zone as required by the Flagstaff Zoning Code; they recommend approval pending the site plan review.

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 location and the applicant's personal qualifications.

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is June 12, 2016.

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

The application was properly posted on April 28, 2016. No written protests have been received to date.
