OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR CLASS. A AND B rJTC=
TO SELL NON-INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR
The application of Fort Collins,Pizza Inn, Inc for a license for the
sale of non-intoxicating malt liquor in accordance with Chapter 2 of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, 1958,as amended,
came on for hearing on March 7, 1968, before the City Council of the City
of Fort Collins and the City Council having held a hearing as required by
law now makes the following findings
1 No evidence was produced by the applicant at the hearing and no
attempt was made to show any need in the neighborhood or desire on the part
of the inhabitants of the neighborhood for the license applied for The
applicant himself did not appear before the City Council at the hearing
and the only appearance made on behalf of the applicant was the appearance
of the applicant's attorney who requested that the license be granted
Nothing was presented on behalf of anyone opposing the license except
Reverend Autry Brown who objected to the issuance of this license on the
grounds that the neighborhood did not desire the license to be issued and
there was no need in the neighborhood
2 The license sought by the applicant is for a location in the 1200
block of West Elizabeth Street in the existing shopping center development
and the address given as the location was 1220 West Elizabeth Street Here-
tofore a license has been granted to John W Ogle at this location and it was
explained that John W Ogle intends to surrender his existing license if the
new license is granted
3 The City Council has made an independent examination of the premises
and has determined that such premises are being remodeled and enlarged and
the enlargement will more than double the capacity of the existing outlet
The enlargement of said premises consists in taking over additional space in
the existing shopping center in which the former business was located, such
space having heretofore been used for another business
n
4 From the foregoing it is the opinion and finding of the City Council
that
(a) No need was shown on behalf of the applicant for the license
applied for and the only testimony relating to need in the neighborhood
indicated lack of the same
(b) No testimony or other evidence was presented by the applicant
relating to the desires of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the only
testimony which was presented at the hearing indicated lack of desire on the
part of the inhabitants for the issuance of the license applied for
(c) The existing license is sufficient to satisfy any need in the
neighborhood
(d) The enlargement of the existing premises indicates to the City
Council that the applicant intends to use additional space in the shopping
center heretofore devoted to other purposes for the purpose of selling 3 2
non-intoxicating malt ]beverages In the opinion of the City Council this
enlargement of the premises is no different than a transfer of the location
of a license or another license being issued in the new premises being added
to the existing location Before a license can be granted for such enlarged
premises a full hearing should be held before the City Council and such
hearing should demonstrate a need in the neighborhood for such additional
premises and a desire on the part of the inhabitants of the neighborhood that
such additional premises be used for dispensing 3 2 non-intoxicating malt
beverages â˘
