ISSUE
Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado, LLC dba Chipotle Mexican Grill has applied for an On-Sale Liquor
License Class B and Special Sunday Liquor License for the Chipotle Mexican Grill located at 3380 150th
Street, Suite 103.
BACKGROUND
Chipotle is a gourmet-specialty restaurant serving specialty burritos, tacos and similar items. Although the
focus is on food, Chipotle offers margaritas and beer to complement the menu. Chipotle in Rosemount
opened for food sales on January 26th. The restaurant is one of the smaller Chipotle’s in Minnesota, at
2,263 sq. ft. and indoor seating for 50. Alcoholic beverages will be served from the counter by individuals
aged 18 and over.
Of note is fact that the restaurant’s patio is positioned such that it is not capable of being fully enclosed as
required by Rosemount City Code. Therefore it is recommended that the Chipotle not allow the sale or
consumption of liquor on their patio, and be required to provide signage notifying their customers that
liquor may not be consumed on the patio or similar language. Additionally, restaurant staff should
monitor the patio to ensure no liquor is being consumed there.
The Police Department has conducted the appropriate background check on the corporation and the
liquor manager, Ms. Kaylee Brickey, and determined that there are no issues that would disqualify the
applicants from obtaining a liquor license.
The applicant will be subject to all regulations set forth in the City Code under Title 3, Chapter 1, and
Minnesota Statute 340A. The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Liability insurance including
minimum coverage set by state statute and has paid the license fees and investigation fees.
RECOMMENDATION
Upon holding the public hearing, staff recommends approval of a Motion to Adopt a Resolution
Approving Liquor License for Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado, LLC dba Chipotle Mexican Grill
subject to conditions outlined.
