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 owners and manager have taken the Title 4 Basic & Management training. In addition to completing the required training, a manager will be on site during all business hours. The bar's training procedures call for checking IDs for anyone purchasing liquor and who appears to be underage.
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.
