The City of Phoenix City Council considered a request for an ownership and location transfer of a Series 6 (Bar) liquor license for T-Bird Tavern, located at 13802 N. Scottsdale Road, Ste. 101, Phoenix, AZ. The location currently holds a Series 12 (Restaurant) liquor license. The applicant, Jeffrey Miller, is seeking to change the license type to a bar. This change requires a Site Plan Amendment and Variance to allow a bar, along with a Use Permit for outdoor dining and alcohol consumption. The 60-day processing limit was June 30, 2025, but an extension was granted. Staff recommended disapproval based on a Finance Department recommendation and noted that the applicant must resolve pending building and zoning requirements. The business has a history of liquor license violations, including ceasing to operate as a restaurant and storing liquor on unlicensed premises, resulting in a $750 fine in August 2025. There were no public protest or support letters received within the 20-day public comment period. The item's status is 'Recommended for Approval'.
