The Phoenix City Council considered and recommended approval for a new Series 12 Restaurant liquor license (Arizona State License Application 329945) for Lydia's Kitchen, located at 1215 E. Missouri Avenue, Ste. 10 in District 6. The property, zoned C-1, was not previously licensed for liquor sales. Applicant Kevin Cieszkowski cited his experience in the food and beverage industry and a clean compliance record as proof of his qualifications, stating that the license would allow the community to engage in a public setting at The Frederick on Missouri retail center. No public protests or support letters were received during the public comment period. City staff recommended approval, provided the applicant resolves any pending building and zoning requirements and ensures compliance with city ordinances.
