BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
A new Series 10 liquor license application was submitted by Mr. Huellmantel for the upcoming Quiktrip store (#403) scheduled to open in May 2025. The application specifies that walk-up and drive-thru services are not offered on the premises. The City Clerk's office received the application from the DLLC on June 26, 2024, and the Public Hearing notice was installed on July 19, 2024, to comply with Arizona Revised Statute §4-201(b). This notice provided an opportunity for residents to voice their opinions; however, no petitions or protests from qualified persons were received during the comment period. The application was routed for approval to the Police Department and the Development Services Department (including Code Enforcement and Planning & Zoning) and neither department had any comments.
STAFF ANALYSIS
A Series 10 liquor license is a non-transferable, off-sale retail privileges liquor license that 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. A retailer with off-sale privileges may deliver spirituous liquor off of the licensed premises in connection with a retail sale. Payment must be made no later than the time of delivery. A series 10 license may fill and sell "growlers". Reference A.R.S. § 4-244(32).
The DLLC requires license owners, agents, and managers actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the business to complete a state-approved management training course prior to the issuance of a liquor license. The Sales/Training Manager has taken the state required Title 4 Basic & Management training. The store managers will also take the Title 4 Basic & Management training. In addition to completing the required training, a manager will be on site during all business hours.
The training procedures call for all employees to be fully trained on state liquor laws upon hire and ongoing review. The training requires the employee to check a Valid ID for anyone who appears to be under the legal drinking age to purchase liquor.
There are no licensed childcare facilities or K-12 schools within 300 feet of the location to comply with Arizona Revised Statutes §4-207. The City Council's recommendation of "Approval", "Disapproval" or "No Recommendation" will be forwarded to the DLLC for consideration during their licensing review process.
