The City's forwarding of a recommendation to the AZ Department of Liquor Licenses and Control does not waive and is not 
a substitute for the Licensee's obligation to comply with all state, local and federal laws, policies and regulations applicable 
to the license. The Recommendation is not a permit or regulatory approval to hold any events or construct or demolish any 
improvements. Zoning processes, building permit processes, and similar regulatory requirements may apply to Licensee's 
contemplated Improvements and are completely separate from the Recommendation. Licensee shall be responsible to, separate 
and apart from this Recommendation, directly obtain all necessary permits and approvals from any and all governmental or 
other entities including the City's having standing or jurisdiction over the subject areas. For more information regarding zoning 
processes, building permit processes, and similar regulatory requirements and approvals please call 480-312-2611.
