<p>With the Super Bowl fast approaching, the Phoenix Planning and Development Department is asking business owners in downtown to start early to ensure their business complies with zoning and signage for events. Temporary sign permits and use permits for certain activities will be required and staff is preparing for an influx the closer to the event.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Temporary signs require a permit to ensure they are safely placed and do not block visibility for traffic and pedestrians. Please allow seven business days to processes the
<a href="/pddsite/Documents/TRT/dsd_trt_pdf_00160.pdf" target="_blank">application</a> (PDF) for a temporary sign permit. You can submit for your
<a href="/pdd/onlineservices/electronic-plan-review" target="_blank">application review</a> electronically. Banners also require permits and must not obstruct pedestrian areas, parking areas or traffic. Banners need to be mounted to a solid surface, not attached to railings or hung between vertical posts or columns. </p>
<p>To find out if a specific sign type is allowed, or if a business owner believes an additional use permit may be needed or for any other questions, contact the Signs Section at
<a href="mailto:pdd.signservices@phoenix.gov" target="_blank">pdd.signservices@phoenix.gov</a> or 602-495-0301.<br></p>
<h2 id="permit">Temporary Use Permits<br></h2>
<p>Businesses looking to expand some of their services during this time may need to apply for an Extension of Premise or a Use Permit. These applications may be needed for extending outdoor and indoor uses, including extending outdoor seating and staging areas for special events. The application types below would apply to most businesses hosting events leading up to the game.</p>
<p>
<strong>1. Extension of Premise (to extend liquor license area)</strong></p>
<p>Businesses that want to extend the liquor licensed areas of their business will need to submit
<a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzdocs" target="_blank">an application</a> to the Zoning team for processing. Expect eight-weeks minimum for processing. </p>
<p>Once the City completes their review, the applicant is responsible for delivering the application to the
<a href="https://www.azliquor.gov/" target="_blank">Arizona Department of Liquor</a> (DLLC) for issuance of the license. </p>
<p>
<strong>2. Zoning Adjustments (Variance, Use Permit, Temporary Use Permit)</strong></p>
<p>Businesses hosting events may be required to apply for a a
<a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzdocs" target="_blank">Zoning Adjustment</a> such as a Variance, a Use Permit or a Temporary Use Permits. These requests require a public hearing, and the outcome is not guaranteed. Allow eight-weeks minimum for processing.</p>
<p>A Temporary Use Permit for a temporary event is needed when outdoor uses are proposed that are not permitted by the zoning district. It must be used in conjunction with an extension of premise application if it includes occupying required parking spaces. </p>
<p>
<strong>3. Administrative Temporary Use Permit (ATUP)</strong><strong> </strong>
<br></p>
<p>An
<a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzdocs" target="_blank">Administrative Temporary Use Permit</a> can be approved administratively. The extension of commercial activity cannot include outdoor entertainment, food trucks, or take over required parking spaces. The event must be limited in the hours of operation if within 300 feet of a residential zoning district. The applicant may also have to meet other standards in Downtown Code Character Areas. Staff recommends to expect an eight-week processing timeframe.<span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p>Contact Zoning Staff with questions about the above processes and other special circumstances. Visit
<a href="/pdd/planning-zoning/pzservices/zoning-use-permits-variances" target="_blank">Planning and Developments Zoning Use webpage</a> for more information.<br><a href="mailto:zoning@phoenix.gov" target="_blank">zoning@phoenix.gov</a>. </p>
<p>Planning and Development staff expect to see a high demand as we get closer to the event. Business owners are encouraged to submit their applications and requests early. The processing timeframes are estimates and could change depending on the application and special circumstances.<br></p>
<h2 id="liquor">Liquor Licenses<br></h2>
<p>Liquor Licenses in the State of Arizona are issued by the <a href="http://www.azliquor.gov/" target="_blank"><strong>Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC)</strong></a>. The City of Phoenix makes a recommendation to the DLLC on whether a Liquor License Application for a location in Phoenix should be granted or not. Applications for Liquor License Series 1 - 14, 18 & 19 must be filed directly at the DLLC, and will then be forwarded by the DLLC to the City of Phoenix for review and recommendation. Please note that each Liquor License Application has separate DLLC and City of Phoenix Application Forms and Fees. Rules and regulations related to liquor licensing can be found in <a href="https://phoenix.municipal.codes/" target="_blank"><strong>Phoenix City Code Chapter 6</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/arstitle/" target="_blank"><strong>Arizona Revised Statute Title IV</strong></a>.<span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p>If your business is looking to get a liquor license in time for the Super Bowl, the City Clerk Department recommends you apply for it
<a href="/cityclerksite/MediaAssets/Regular%20Liquor%20License%20Process%20Overview.pdf" target="_blank">at least 60 days</a> (PDF) ahead of time. To determine which type of license you need, refer to
<a href="/cityclerksite/Documents/liclist.pdf" target="_blank">this list</a> (PDF). R<a href="/cityclerk/services/licensing/liquor/regular" target="_blank">ead more about about obtaining a liquor license within the City of Phoenix</a>.<br></p>
<h2 id="closures">Downtown Street Closures and Restrictions</h2>
<p>Details about road closures and restrictions related to events in the downtown region are in the process of being finalized. A map and other helpful know-before-you-go fan experience information will be shared in the coming months.<span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
