Applicant Narrative:
ARS 4-201-G: Except for a person to person transfer of a transferable license for use at the same location and as 
otherwise provided in section 4-203, subsection A, in all proceedings before the governing body of a city or town, the 
board of supervisors of a county or the board, the applicant bears the burden of showing that the public convenience 
requires and that the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of a license.
1. I have the capability, qualifications and reliability to hold a liquor license because;
Boondocks owners and employees have extensive experience in operating licensed 
establishments and ensuring all staff, including managers are trained in all rules, laws and 
regulations.
2. The best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because;
Boondocks offers a combination of dining (lunch, happy hour food), live entertainment, 
and bar games, catering to a demographic looking for an active social scene.
3. Please describe your business;
We are a high energy patio bar and grill known for its casual, "backyard" atmosphere, live
music, and extensive bar games.
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 ali 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.
