Memorandum

To:

CORTEZ CITY COUNCIL

From:

DONNA MURPHY, DEPUTY CITY CLERK

Date:

02/12/2024

RE:

New Application for a Retail Liquor Store Liquor License

DISCUSSION

When a request is made for a new liquor license, licensing authorities consider the requirements of C.R.S. §§ 44-3-301(2)(a) and 44-3-312(2)(a). Council must consider the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood to which the applicant seeks to locate, the desires of the adult inhabitants with respect to the new location, and to verify that the applicant is of good character. Fingerprints for Cole Clark, owner, were sent to CBI and individual history records have been completed.

State regulations require that the local licensing authority schedule a public hearing not less than thirty days from the date of the application and set the neighborhood boundaries for review of a new liquor license application.

BACKGROUND

The application referred to above was filed in the office of the City Clerk on February 8, 2024. Elevated Liquors will be located at 530 N. Broadway, Cortez.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that City Council set a Public Hearing date of Tuesday, March 12, 2024, for review of a new Retail Liquor Store Liquor License for Elevated Liquors Inc., and the neighborhood boundaries be set as the Cortez City limits.

MOTION

If agreed upon by the City Council, a possible motion would be:
I move that City Council set a Public Hearing date of Tuesday, March 12, 2024, for review of a new Retail Liquor Store Liquor License for Elevated Liquors Inc., and the neighborhood boundaries be set as the Cortez City limits.
