A new Series 12 liquor license application was submitted by Ms. Lewkowitz on behalf of Shake Shack #1515. The establishment is scheduled to open in April 2025. The City Clerk's office received the application from the DLLC on February 12, 2025, and the Public Hearing notice was posted on February 24th, 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.

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 on-premise manager has completed the Title 4 Basic & Management training. Employees will either complete Title IV liquor training or attend in-house liquor training by a manager who has completed Title IV basic and management training.  Managers and staff will monitor guest alcohol consumption throughout the licensed premises. 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 two
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.
