TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Jennifer Stallings - City Clerk
DATE: November 6, 2020
SUBJECT:
A Resolution Establishing the Maximum Number of City of Aurora Liquor Licenses by Class.
PURPOSE:
To maintain the number of Class A: Package Sales licenses and to allow the conversion of Prisco's Fine Foods, Inc. d/b/a Prisco's Family Market from a Class G (Package Beer & Wine Only) to a Class A: Package Sales (Full Liquor) license.
BACKGROUND:
This request is asking for a modification of the liquor license classification for Prisco's. Prisco's currently holds a Class G (Package Beer & Wine) license and the license is automatically eligible for conversion to a Class A: Package Sales (Beer & Wine) license. Prisco's requests that their license be converted to a Class A: Package Sales (Full Liquor) license.
DISCUSSION:
Prisco's is an established grocery store in the City of Aurora and has maintained a City of Aurora liquor license since 1993. Grocery stores meeting criteria enumerated in the City Code can be eligible for the Class A - Package Sales (Full Liquor) license. Prisco's meets the criteria for said license.
Attached is the application submitted for your consideration. If approved, this resolution would maintain the number of allowable liquor licenses as indicated in the accompanying Exhibit A but would allow Prisco's the opportunity to sell liquor, in addition to beer and wine, by allowing the conversion of their license to a Class A - Package Sales (Full Liquor) license.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The proposed resolution will allow Prisco's Fine Foods, Inc. to expand their product offerings to further the City of Aurora's economic development.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that this resolution be referred to the Committee of the Whole for consideration at its November 17, 2020 meeting and then referred to the City Council for consideration at its November 24, 2020 meeting.
