Memorandum

To:

CORTEZ CITY COUNCIL

From:

DONNA MURPHY, DEPUTY CITY CLERK

Date:

RE:

New Application for a Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License

DISCUSSION

When a request is made for a new liquor license, licensing authorities are to consider the requirements of C.R.S. §§ 44-3-301(b)(I) 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 owner Alejandro Ceballos have been sent to CBI and an individual history record has been completed.

The public hearing must be set not less than thirty days from the date of application and posting and publishing the notice must be done not less than ten days prior to the hearing.

BACKGROUND

The application referred to above was filed in the office of the City Clerk on August 8, 2023. El Campestre Mexican Restaurant LLC will be located at 1430 East Main Street, Suite 6, Cortez.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council set a Public Hearing date of Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. for review of a new Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License for El Campestre Mexican Restaurant LLC, 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 the City Council set a Public Hearing date of Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. for the review of a new Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License for El Campestre Mexican Restaurant LLC, and the neighborhood boundaries be set as the Cortez City limits.
