TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Sara Townsend, Deputy City Clerk
DATE: February 5, 2015
SUBJECT:
Resolution Establishing the Maximum number of City of Aurora Liquor Licenses by Class
PURPOSE:
To increase the number of Class E - Restaurant licenses by one (1) license, increasing the total maximum number of Class E to 52.
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:
A.B.J., LLC d/b/a Belle Salle Banquets, located at 1920 E. New York St., Aurora, Illinois, submitted a liquor license application seeking a Class E license for the purpose of selling to the general public alcoholic liquor by the drink for consumption on the premises where sold, and not for resale in any form, provided that such sales shall be only in conjunction with the sale of food for consumption on the premises.
Attached is the application submitted for your consideration. If approved, this resolution would increase 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 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. Issuance of a license will be contingent upon the approval of the certificate of occupancy and all required documents are received.
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 referred to the Government Operations Committee for consideration at its meeting to be held on February 10, 2015.
