SUBJECT:
Resolution Establishing the Maximum Number of City of Aurora Liquor Licenses by Class.
PURPOSE:
To establish the number of Class B, On-Site Consumption Restaurant licenses at 1 (new classification) converted from the former Class E, Full Menu Restaurant.
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:
Dixie's Bistro, LLC, d/b/a Dixie's Bistro, located at 1515 Butterfield Rd., Aurora, IL 60502, is requesting a 50% ownership change due to the passing of one of their managing members, Daniel Dolan, Sr., earlier this year. Mr. Dolan's 50% ownership in Dixie's Bistro, LLC, d/b/a Dixie's Bistro is now owned by Brian Dolan.
Attached is the application submitted for your consideration. If approved, this resolution will maintain the number of allowable liquor licenses as indicated in the accompanying Exhibit A to allow for the issuance of the license by the Commissioner. City staff has been working with the business owners to ensure that all requirements for the change in 50% ownership, 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I am recommending that this resolution be considered by the City Council at its meeting to be held on Tuesday, August 25, 2020.
