Report

Liquor License - Glenrosa Beer and Wine - District 4

Request for a liquor license. Arizona State License Application 347712.

Summary

Applicant
Majdi Awawda, Agent

License Type
Series 10 - Beer and Wine Store with Sampling Privileges

Location
4319 N. 27th Avenue
Zoning Classification: C-2
Council District: 4

This request is for a new liquor license for a convenience store that does not sell gas.
This location was previously licensed for liquor sales and does not have an interim
permit. This location requires a Use Permit to allow package liquor sales.

The 60-day limit for processing this application is July 18, 2025.

Pursuant to A.R.S. 4-203, a spirituous liquor license shall be issued only after
satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications, and reliability of the applicant and
that the public convenience and the best interest of the community will be substantially
served by the issuance. If an application is filed for the issuance of a license for a
location, that on the date the application is filed has a valid license of the same series
issued at that location, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the public
convenience and best interest of the community at that location was established at the
time the location was previously licensed. The presumption shall not apply once the
licensed location has not been in use for more than 180 days.






Other Active Liquor License Interest in Arizona
This applicant does not hold an interest in any other active liquor license in the State of
Arizona.

Public Opinion
One valid letter protesting the issuance of this license has been received and is on file
in the Office of the City Clerk. This letter is from a neighboring business. They believe
there is a high concentration of liquor establishments in the neighborhood already.
They also feel that adding another liquor license will negatively impact the area which
has ongoing challenges related to criminal activity.

Applicant’s Statement
The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling,
grammar, and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the
applicant on the City Questionnaire.

I have the capability, reliability, and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I have owned and operated multiple businesses in Arizona over the years. I currently
operat three tobacco oriented retail stores. I have always abided by the laws of the
state of Arizona while operating the business. I have never received any ticket for
sales of tobacco products to a minor at any of my businesses. I am also scheduled to
take the Title 4 management liquor training class. I will strictly adhere to any rules and
laws regarding the operation of my proposed business.”

The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be
substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“The operation of a convenience store at this location will greatly benefit the
community by offering multiple products (i.e. food, liquor, household item, etc) at one
location. This neighborhood is a lower income area and not everybody has access to
personal vehicles to travel to big chain stores. We will provide necessities to the local
community that can easily be accessed on foot. We will grow with the community and
be responsive to their needs on a day to day basis.”

Staff Recommendation
Staff gave careful consideration to the protest letter received, however after reviewing
the application in its entirety, staff is recommending approval of this application. Staff
also notes that the applicant must resolve any pending City of Phoenix building and
zoning requirements, and be in compliance with the City of Phoenix Code and
Ordinances.

The ordinance provides for: a primary property tax rate resulting in a levy of

An Ordinance Amending Ordinance G-7241 to include Proposed Revisions to
Phoenix City Code Chapter 18, Article XI, Section 18-413(A) Related to the
Requirement to Post Heat Safety Plans (Ordinance G-7402) - Citywide

This item requests an amendment to Ordinance G-7241 to include proposed revisions
to Phoenix City Code (PCC) Chapter 18, Article XI, Section 18-413(A) to clarify
language for contractor requirements related to the posting of heat safety plans.
Summary
On March 26, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance G-7241, which added
language to PCC Chapter 18, Article XI requiring City contractors whose employees
and contract workers perform work in an outdoor environment to develop and comply
with heat safety plans as outlined in the ordinance to mitigate and prevent heat-related
illnesses and injuries in the workplace. The ordinance requires any entity that is party
to a City contract, City lease, or City license to develop and keep on file a compliant
written heat safety plan. Contractors are also required to post their written heat safety
plan “where it is accessible to employees.”
Recent visits by City officials to work sites revealed that although several City
contractors whose employees and contract workers perform work in an outdoor
environment do have written heat safety plans, the plans are not typically posted in
areas where employees can quickly identify and have access to them, such as on
bulletin boards in employee break rooms. This proposed amendment to PCC Section
18-413(A) would require an applicable contractor's heat safety plan to be posted in
English and Spanish on a bulletin board in the break room accessible to employees,
similar to federally required employment law notifications. If a contractor does not have
a break room, the heat safety plans must be physically placed in a conspicuous
location in the workplace where notices to employees are customarily posted. All heat
safety plans must also include a contact number of the contractor that all employees
and contract workers can call if they need to inquire or report on any heat safety
issues.
This change was discussed by the Contract Workers Heat Safety Ordinance Advisory


Committee, which unanimously recommended approval of the change. The Committee
includes the following members and staff:
· Chad Arruda (representing contractors)

· Sydney Hawkins (representing contractors)

· Cecilia Ortiz, Worker (representing workers)

· Sergio Rodriguez Lopez (representing community at-large)

· Dr. Siyuan Song (representing community at-large)

· Maxwell Ulin, Unite Here (representing workers)
Staff:
· Mario Paniagua, Deputy City Manager

· David Matthews, Deputy City Manager

· Deryck R. Lavelle, Chief Assistant City Attorney

· David Hondula, Director of the Heat Response and Mitigation Office

· Adriana Phillips, Assistant Finance Director

· Ashley Lee, Deputy Human Resources Director


Phoenix contractors have been notified of the proposed change to the ordinance,
which if adopted by Council will be effective 30 days from approval. A draft of the
proposed amended Ordinance is attached as Attachment A.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Contract Workers Heat Safety Ordinance Advisory Committee unanimously
recommends approval of this item.

Responsible Department
This item is submitted by Deputy City Manager Mario Paniagua and the City
Manager's Office.

Authorization to Amend Intergovernmental Agreement with Maricopa County
and Authorization to Enter into Funding Agreement with the Phoenix Community
Development and Investment Corporation for the Senior Bridge Affordable
Housing Project (Ordinance S-52177) - District 8 & Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to amend an
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County (Contract 162319) to modify
Senior Bridge affordable housing project eligibility criteria and unit make-up. Further,
request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to accept
funding in an amount up to $3,015,746 from the Phoenix Community Development and
Investment Corporation (PCDIC) and enter into related funding agreement to support
the Senior Bridge affordable housing project. Additionally, request to modify prior
Council authorization for Senior Bridge Project to reflect changes in the Senior Bridge
affordable housing project scope, funding sources, and developer. Further request to
authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to take all actions
necessary or appropriate to implement and administer the Senior Bridge Project.

Finally, request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept and the City Controller to
disburse all funds related to these items.

Summary
American Rescue Plan funding (“HOME funding”) towards the Senior Bridge Project
on December 4, 2024 via Ordinance S-51498.

As originally authorized via Ordinance S-51553, the City of Phoenix entered into a
related IGA with Maricopa County on or about December 18, 2024. Whereby, the
County awarded American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to the City to provide shelter
and transitional housing for individuals experiencing homelessness in the City as well
as up to $6 million in ARPA funding to be awarded to Steel & Spark, LLC to support the
Senior Bridge Project.

On March 26, 2025, via Ordinance S-51736, the City Council authorized modification
of the Maricopa County IGA to reflect changes in Senior Bridge Project scope and
associated modifications to the Senior Bridge Project development agreement,



including changing the developer to a Steel & Spark, LLC affiliate, Senior Bridge, LLC.

Following the March 26, 2025 Council action, the City determined not to use HOME
funding for the Senior Bridge Project and PCDIC was identified as an alternative
funding source. In addition, further revisions were identified to Senior Bridge Project
unit make-up, eligibility criteria, potential corporate form of the developer, as well as
the term of related security instruments in the course of negotiations.

Thus, the current request would allow modifications to the IGA and related Senior
Bridge Project development agreement authority. Specifically:
· The current desired project would allow up to 54 affordable housing units to be
developed within ARPA's State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund guidelines for
affordable housing.
· HOME Funding will be replaced with funding provided by PCDIC in an amount not
to exceed $3,015,746.
· The developer of the Senior Bridge Project and party to the development
agreement and related instruments may be replaced with an affiliate of Senior
Bridge, LLC as necessary or desirable to facilitate the project.
· The term of security instruments related to the development agreement will be 20
years.

Contract Term
The term of the IGA will remain unchanged.

The term of the funding agreement with PCDIC will be for a period of three years,
beginning on or about July 3, 2025.

The term of the affordable housing development agreement with Senior Bridge, LLC or
affiliate will begin or on about July 3, 2025 for a term of up to one year, with an option
to extend through December 31, 2026 at the discretion of the City Manager or
designee; provided associated security instruments shall have a term of at least 20
years from project occupancy.

Financial Impact
The amount of funding provided via the IGA with Maricopa County to the Senior Bridge
Project remains unchanged at up to $6 million. Funding in an amount of $3,015,746
will be provided by PCDIC. There is no impact to the General Fund, as funding is
provided by Maricopa County and PCDIC.





Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Council previously reviewed and approved the following:
· On December 4, 2024, the City Council authorized up to $3,015,746 in HOME
Funding for the Senior Bridge project with Ordinance S-51498.
· On December 18, 2024, via Ordinance S-51553, the City Council approved the
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County and related projects,
including the award of up to an additional $6 million in funding from the IGA for the
Senior Bridge to Steel & Spark, LLC.
· On March 26, 2025, the City Council authorized changes to the Senior Bridge
Project scope and substitution of Senior Bridge, LLC as developer with Ordinance S
-51736.
· These prior actions are superseded to the extent inconsistent with this item.

in an aggregate amount of $1,675,346. Further request authorization for the City
Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.

Summary
The annual Community Arts Grants Program invests in nonprofit art and cultural
organizations and groups to strengthen the community's access to cultural
programming. Applications were due on March 23, 2025. Out of the 166 applications
received, 142 were eligible for review by community panels of laypersons, artists, arts
professionals, and educators to ensure a thorough and unbiased review.

Through the agency's equity strategy, POAC ensures outreach to all areas of the City
and targeted applicants from all disciplines, budget sizes, underrepresented
populations, and City Council districts. There was a 17 percent increase in applications
from FY 2025-26.

The Community Arts Grants Program Grant Categories:
General Support Grants (GSG) provide core operating support to arts and cultural
organizations of all sizes that have a primary mission to create, produce, or provide
arts and cultural programming to enhance the quality of lives for Phoenix residents. All
GSG applicants are required to have a prior year income of at least $5,000 and
complete a full application to be reviewed by a grants panel.

GSG Goals
1. Support arts and cultural opportunities among residents of all ages through
education, outreach programs, and opportunities for personal artistic expression
and participation.
2. Encourage broad-based, community-wide participation in arts and cultural activities
resulting from diverse programming accessible to all residents.
3. Sustain a community of responsibly governed and managed, financially sound
organizations, and assist organizations that have reached a critical stage in artistic



or institutional development by encouraging the identification of internal needs
critical to the organization's sustainability or growth.

Project Support Grants (PSG) promote and encourage the breadth of arts and
cultural programming in the community by supporting large and small projects
throughout the City of Phoenix. The program supports guest artist fees/expenses,
production fees, and marketing expenses for arts and culture projects that engage
Phoenix residents, including but not limited to art workshops, pop-up performances,
and collaborations with artists. All PSG applicants must complete a full application to
be reviewed by a grants panel.

PSG Goals
1. Support arts and cultural projects across the City of Phoenix, especially artistic
collaborations with full representation from all people at the intersection of all
diversities and backgrounds.
2. Fund projects that support the artistic and cultural work of young people or projects
that introduce youth to arts and culture in the City of Phoenix.
3. Invest in projects that support and celebrate individual artists impacting the
community.

The Rental Support Program (RSP) provides facility rental support to those cultural
organizations that help revitalize the Phoenix downtown corridor through their
presentations at the Herberger Theater Center, Orpheum Theatre, and Phoenix
Symphony Hall. Arts and Culture administers RSP in partnership with the Phoenix
Convention Center, which funds the program. Only organizations that have
successfully applied and been awarded a GSG or PSG application may be considered
for this program. These funds are awarded through an additional application process
and reviewed by the Phoenix Convention Center.

Fiscal Year 2025 Recommendations and Allocations
The Community Arts Grants Program has a total budget of $1,675,346, comprised of
funds from the City’s general fund and support from the Phoenix Convention Center.
GSG and PSG funding allocations totaling $1,381,346 are requested for 135 grants to

geographic distributions of grant funding and $225,000 for the Rental Support
Program.
