Category 3. MAYOR'S REPORT Subject 3.3 1st Reading of AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 13 (ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS) OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Type Action Recommended Approve an Ordinance amending Chapter 13 (Alcoholic Liquor) of the Village Code in Action regard to Craft Distilleries. Information Popularity of brewery/distillery related establishments continues to grow within the Chicago Metropolitan area. The Village's Alcoholic Liquor Code (Chapter 13) was amended in 2015 creating a craft brewery classification that permits the manufacturing, distribution and sales of beer. Currently the Ordinance does not allow for the manufacturing or distribution of spirits On Thursday June 29, the Village Manager along with Executive Assistant and Community Development Director met with Mr. Matthew Nurre and Mr. Jesse Zien to discuss their business plan for a small batch, hand crafted spirits distillery, proposed to be located at 1880 S. Elmhurst Road. A red -lined proposed amendment to Chapter 13 for the manufacture of spirits was presented along with the business plan. Mr. Nurre, a local resident, is a Master Distiller who has a double major in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of Iowa. Mr. Zien, a prior Operations Manager with a MBA from Loyola University, oversaw all aspects of operations for a $1.5 billion dollar company. Both are co-founders of Two Eagles Distillery. The amending of Class ""S-8" liquor license to include Craft Distillery would be necessary to process their request for such a license. Village staff along with the Village Attorney reviewed the Illinois Liquor Control Act guidelines for a manufacture's distiller liquor license. The attached amended ordinance as presented covers the addition of a distillery to the specialty license Class S-8 (Craft Brewery). The ordinance is the product of incorporating the distillery parameters in the Illinois Liquor Control Act and the Village's established alcoholic liquor regulations set forth in Chapter 13 of the Village Code. Alternatives 1. Approval of the Ordinance as presented. 2. Action at discretion of Village Board. Staff Recommendation Village staff recommends approval of the Ordinance so that a liquor license application for a Craft Distillery can be accepted.
