BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS

A new Series 12 liquor license application was submitted by Mr. Inglin on behalf of The Breakaway Bar & Grill. The establishment is presently operating under an interim permit # 070032238 that was issued by the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC). A license applicant is granted an interim permit, which is a provisional authorization issued pursuant to A.R.S §4-203.01. This authorization permits the sale of spirituous liquor to continue while the application is pending. Existing licenses must be of the same series and location as the pending application, with a maximum validity period of 105 days, to qualify.

The City Clerk's office received the application from the DLLC on March 3, 2025, and the Public Hearing notice was posted on March 4th, 2025 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. The application is included as Attachment A titled DLLC Local Governing Body Report.

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 owner and manager have completed the Title 4 Basic & Management training, and a manager will be onsite at all times. 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. 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. For evaluation purposes, a One-Mile Report and Evaluation Map is included as Attachment B, showing all liquor licenses, and five
K-12 school within a one-mile radius. City Council's recommendation of "Approval", "Disapproval" or "No Recommendation" will be forwarded to the DLLC for consideration during their licensing review process.
