The City Council approved a new Series 12 (Restaurant) liquor license for Taste of Thai Restaurant, located at 1510 E. Bell Road, Ste. A100, Phoenix, AZ, within a C-2 zoning district. The location had been previously licensed for liquor sales. Applicant Artichar Reynolds highlighted a track record of successfully operating multiple Thai restaurants in Arizona and compliance with regulations. The applicant asserted that the license would bolster local economic growth by drawing more customers, generating additional employment opportunities, and fulfilling customer desires for wine and specialty beverages to enhance their dining experience. No public protests or letters of support were submitted during the designated 20-day public comment period. City staff formally recommended the approval of the application. The applicant also holds interests in other active liquor licenses in Arizona, with one associated location noting 55 calls for police service in the past year, though no liquor license violations were reported for any of their establishments.
