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 has taken the Title 4 Basic & Management training. The on-site manager will also be taking the Title 4 Basic training.
The restaurant's training procedures and company policy call for requiring a valid ID for anyone who appears to be under the legal drinking age and checking for signs of invalid ID's.
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.
