BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
A new Series 12 liquor license application was submitted by Ms. Lewkowitz on behalf of The Stillery. The establishment is scheduled to open in September 2024. The City Clerk's office received the application from the DLLC on July 11, 2024, and the Public Hearing notice was posted on July 16th, 2024, to comply with Arizona Revised Statute §4-201(b). 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 (Code Compliance and Planning & Zoning), and the departments had no comments.
STAFF ANALYSIS
A Series 12 license is for a restaurant and is non-transferrable. This on-sale retail privileges liquor license allows the holder to sell and serve all types of 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.
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 registered premise manager has completed the Title 4 Basic & Management training. Employees will either complete the AZ Title IV liquor training or attend in-house liquor training by a manager who has completed the training. Managers and staff will monitor guest alcohol consumption through the licensed premises.
The restaurant's policy is to require a valid ID for anyone who appears to be under the legal drinking age.
There are no licensed childcare facilities or K-12 schools within 300 feet of the location to comply with Arizona Revised Statutes §4-207. City Council's recommendation of "Approval", "Disapproval" or "No Recommendation" will be forwarded to the DLLC for consideration during their licensing review process.
