Recitals
Under Md. Code Ann., Alc. Bev. § 12-902.1(c)(1), a City Council resolution is required to allow a current holder of a valid Class B-D-7 Beer, Wine, and Liquor License issued on or before July 1, 2018, to apply to the Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City (the “Board”) to exchange their Class B-D-7 Beer, Wine, and Liquor License for a Class A-7 Beer, Wine, and Liquor License.
The Class A-7 License authorizes the license holder to sell beer, wine, and liquor at retail at the place described in the license for off-premise consumption. The holder of a Class A-7 License may sell beer, wine, and liquor on Monday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Wineco, LLC, holds a Class B-D-7 License issued for use at 604 South Exeter Street and wishes to apply to the Board to exchange the Class B-D-7 License for a Class A-7 License and concurrently obtain approval to transfer its location for use at 711 South Central Avenue. Accordingly, representatives of Wineco, LLC, have applied to the Baltimore City Council for approval of the exchange.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of Baltimore, That the City Council authorizes, by and through this Resolution, that the current holder of the Class B-D-7 Beer, Wine, and Liquor License issued for use at 604 South Exeter Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 21202 may, concurrently with an application to the Board for approval to transfer its location to 711 South Central Avenue, apply to exchange its Class B-D-7 License for a Class A-7 Beer, Wine, and Liquor License and may be afforded all the privileges and responsibilities of that license class and type under the Alcoholic Beverages Article for the State of Maryland.
And be it further resolved, That a copy of this Resolution be sent to the Executive Secretary of the Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City.
