TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Jennifer Stallings, City Clerk
DATE: May 20, 2024
SUBJECT:
A Resolution establishing the maximum number of City of Aurora Liquor Licenses by Class.
PURPOSE:
To increase the number of Class B: On-Site Consumption liquor licenses.
BACKGROUND:
This request is presented in accordance with the 2011 amendment to the City's Liquor Ordinance, specifically Section 6-9(a), which charges the City Council with the authority to determine the number of licenses available in each classification.
DISCUSSION:
Hills Banquet Hall, LLC was a long-time liquor license holder in the City until April 2021 when a fire unfortunately forced them to close their doors for remodeling. Since 2021, they have been remodeling and the liquor license has lapsed. With the remodeling project nearing completion, Hills Banquet Hall has submitted a liquor license application to offer alcohol for sale for on-site consumption during banquets and other events.
Attached is the application submitted for your consideration. If approved, this resolution will increase the number of allowable liquor licenses as indicated in the accompanying Exhibit A to allow for the issuance of the license by the Liquor Commissioner. City staff has been working with the business owner to ensure that all requirements for a liquor license, as set forth in Chapter 6 of the City's Code of Ordinances, are met.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The proposed resolution presents an opportunity to further the City of Aurora's economic development and to bring additional business and people to the City of Aurora.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that this resolution be approved.
