Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application: Danny Thomas, "Hot Wok", 1451 S. Milton Rd., Series 12 (restaurant), New License.

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Open the public hearing.

Close the public hearing.

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 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. Hot Wok is an existing restaurant in Flagstaff, if approved it will be the 94th active series 12 licenses in Flagstaff. Series 12 licenses are non-quota licenses.
