"What I’ve said before and still maintain is that it is not appropriate for us to deal with the issue of liquor licenses on a one-off veto basis," Rhodes-Conway said. "We need to work on a policy that is comprehensive. No matter how I personally feel about Taco Bell having a liquor license, they deserve to be treated like any other applicant."

Rhodes-Conway said the city is looking at a more comprehensive approach to alcohol license density and should look at supporting non-alcohol uses downtown.

The resolution is on the City Council’s meeting agenda Tuesday for introduction only. If approved by the City Council, the city would issue the State Street Taco Bell Cantina a beer and wine license within 15 days.

Flynn Restaurant Group, the parent company of Bell Great Lakes, said in a statement it was pleased with the tentative agreement and look forward to securing final approval.

"As the owner and operator of 1,245 restaurants across the country including over 450 Applebee’s locations – all with full-service liquor licenses – Flynn Restaurant Group has an outstanding reputation of owning and operating safe, orderly and compliant concepts nationwide and we pride ourselves on responsible service," the statement said.
