SUBJECT:
Resolution Establishing the Maximum Number of City of Aurora Liquor Licenses by Class.
PURPOSE:
To maintain the number of Class G-1 - Package Beer and wine license, gasoline sales for the total maximum number of Class G-1 as 11.
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:
The Thorntons LLC. d/b/a Thornton's #315, located at 2609 Farnsworth Ave., Aurora, Illinois, 60504 submitted a liquor license application regarding a Class G-1 license for the purpose of selling to the general public beer and wine in original packages only, for consumption off the premises where sold. Thornton's recently underwent a restructuring and license holder entity changed from Thorntons, Inc. to Thorntons LLC. There are no other changes.
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.
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 26, 2019.
