BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Mr. Anderson has applied for a new Series 6 liquor license for Palm Valley Golf Club which is currently open for business and operating under an Interim Permit issued by the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC). An Interim Permit allows an applicant to sell, serve and store liquor under an existing license of the same series at the same location while their new license is processed (A.R.S. § 4-203.01).
The City Clerk's office received the application from the DLLC on January 4th, 2024, and the Public Hearing notice was posted on January 5th, 2024 to comply with Arizona Revised Statutes §4-201(b). No petitions or protests from qualified persons were received during the comment period.
The application was routed to the Police Department and the Development Services Department (Planning & Zoning and Building Safety), and the departments had no comments.

STAFF ANALYSIS
A Series 6 liquor license allows a bar retailer to sell and serve spirituous liquors to be consumed on the premises, in the original container for consumption on the premises. This retail licensee also has limited off-sale ("to go") privileges. The total of all off-sale liquor sales shall not exceed 30% of on-sale retail liquor sales per license/location (A.R.S.§ 4-206.01(F)).
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. Both the manager and the Director at the location have taken the Title 4 Basic & Management training. In addition to completing the required training, the manager will be on site during all business hours. The bar's training procedures and company policy call for carding anyone who is purchasing liquor.
There are no licensed childcare facilities or K-12 schools within 300 feet of the location. The City Council's recommendation of "Approval", "Disapproval" or "No Recommendation" will be forwarded to the DLLC for consideration during their licensing review process.
