(District 5) Recommendation for Denial: Mesa City Staff recommend the City Council enter an order recommending disapproval of the liquor license application because public convenience and the best interests of the community will not be substantially served by issuing the license. Specifically, there have been numerous petitions and testimonies received from individuals which reside in, own, or lease property within one mile of the proposed premises that oppose the issuance of the license. A “yes” vote for this item on the consent agenda will constitute City Council’s order recommending disapproval of the liquor license application. (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 4-201 and Ariz. Admin. Code § R19-1-702)   Not available
