STAFF ANALYSIS
A Series 7 liquor license has limited off-sale ("to go") privileges. Liquor may be delivered off of the licensed premises in connection with a retail sale. Payment must be made no later than the time of delivery. Off-sale ("To Go") package sales of spirituous liquor can be made on the bar premises as long as the area of off-sale operation does not utilize a separate entrance and exit from the ones provided for the bar. 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. The manager has 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 carding anyone who appears to be 35 or under.
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.
