Information

TITLE:

Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application:  Michael Marquess, "Mother Road Brewing Company," 1300 E. Butler Avenue, Suite 200, Series 07 (beer and wine bar), Owner/Location Transfer.

STAFF 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. A Series 07 beer and wine bar license allows a beer and wine bar retailer to sell and serve beer and wine, primarily by individual portions, to be consumed on the premises and in the original container for consumption on or off the premises. Series 07 licenses must be obtained through the person and/or location transfer of an existing license from another business. The Series 07 license is being transferred from Cirgadyne, Inc. Mother Road Brewing Company is an existing business in Flagstaff that is adding a Series 07 liquor license to it's location; if approved, it will be the 26th active series 07 license in Flagstaff.

The property has been posted as required, and the Police and Community Development divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted.  To view surrounding liquor licenses, please visit the Active Liquor Licenses Map.

Financial Impact:

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

Policy Impact:

Not applicable.

Connection to Council Goal, Regional Plan, CAAP, and/or Strategic Plan:

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

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

Not applicable.

Key Considerations:

Because the application is for a person and location transfer, consideration may be given to both the applicant's personal qualifications as well as the location.

The deadline for issuing a recommendation on this application is February 20, 2020.

Community Involvement:

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

Expanded Options and Alternatives:

The application was properly posted on January 27, 2020. No written protests have been received to date.
