7.A.

Meeting Date:	09/06/2022
From:	Stacy Fobar, Deputy City Clerk

TITLE:

Consideration and Action on Liquor License Application: Thomas James Hanecak, "Coconino Center for the Arts," 2300 N. Fort Valley Road, Series 05, New License.

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Hold the public hearing.

The City Council has the option to:
1) Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for approval;
2) Forward the application to the State with no recommendation; or
3) Forward the application to the State with a recommendation for denial based on the testimony received at the public hearing and/or other factors.

Executive Summary:

The liquor license process begins at the State level and applications are then forwarded to the respective municipality for posting of the property and holding a public hearing, after which the Council recommendation is forwarded back to the State. A Series 5 license allows for a government agency to sell and serve spirituous liquor solely for consumption on the premises. If approved, the Coconino Center for the Arts will be the 4th active series 05 license in Flagstaff.

The property has been posted as required, and the Police and Community Development divisions have reviewed the application with no concerns noted. To view surrounding liquor licenses, please visit the Active Liquor Licenses Map.

There is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff as this is a recommendation to the State.
