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 04 license allows a wholesaler to warehouse, sell and distribute all types of spirituous liquor (beer, wine, distilled spirits) to Arizona-licensed retailers. Legacy Beverage is an existing business in Flagstaff and was formally known as Northland Beverage; if approved, it will be one of the 5 active series 04 licenses in Flagstaff. Series 04 liquor licenses are a non-quota license. The property has been posted as required, and the Police and Community Development divisions have reviewed the application and provided their respective reports. |
