body
DEPARTMENT: Legal Department
SUBMITTED BY: Jennifer Bonner, Senior Assistant City Attorney
BACKGROUND:
The City has enacted the Class M liquor license ("M License") for the sale at retail and service of wine and beer at recreational and/or lifestyle amenities facilities. Recreational facilities include an art studio, indoor sports facility, golf course, bowling alley or billiards, having a minimum of ten regulation billiard tables. Lifestyle amenities facilities include beauty shops, hair salons, spas, and personal cosmetic establishments.
For recreational facilities, the M License requires that at least 60% of annual revenue come from non-alcohol sources, limits wine and beer sales to times when the recreational area is open and available for use and imposes an annual fee of $2,200. The license is capped at thirteen (13), twelve (12) of which have been issued, with one (1) additional application currently in progress.
Clarify Kitchen, located at 1701 Quincy Ave., Suite 20, is a commercial and event space for classes, kid’s camps, corporate events, showers, and themed parties.
Clarify Kitchen seeks an increase in the M license recreational cap to allow the service of beer and wine during adult classes, where beer and wine would be sold as part of the class package.
