Staff Recommendation - Staff recommends disapproval of this application based on Police and Planning Department recommendations for disapproval and neighborhood protest.
The Police Department disapproval is based on the applicant not being qualified to hold a liquor license and the area being saturated with existing liquor licenses.
The Planning Department disapproval is based on the applicant's failure to obtain the required Use Permit.
Additionally, staff believes this business is inappropriate for the sale of spirituous liquor pursuant to A.R.S. Section 4-201(H). An inappropriate business is one that cannot clearly demonstrate that the sale of spirituous liquor is directly connected to its primary purpose and not merely incidental to its primary purpose. In this case, the primary purpose of a dollar store is to sell household products, not serve as an off-sale beer and wine establishment.
If denied, the applicant will continue operations without a liquor license and the previous owner will not resume ownership. |
A map indicating liquor licenses within a one-mile radius accompanies this item on the following page.
This item is submitted by Mr. Paniagua and the City Clerk Department.
