Supervising Agent In Charge
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control

Re: Application of Dion & Sons Marine Fuels, Incorporated, dba Alamitos Bay Marina Fuel Dock, for an original application of an Alcoholic Beverage Control License, at 227 North Marina Drive Atlantic Avenue.
Dear Mr. Beach:
Please be advised that the Long Beach City Council, at its meeting held Tuesday, March 22, 2022 approved the request to file a protest regarding the subject application based on the fact that licensing the premises would be contrary to City of Long Beach zoning ordinances, since a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required.
The City Council also approved the City Manager to withdraw the protest if the City's Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit Exemption (CUPEX) and if no appeal is made during the 10-day appeal period for the CUPEX. It is anticipated that the CUPEX will be acted upon by the Planning Commission, and once the appeal period has elapsed, a letter will be transmitted to ABC withdrawing the City's protest.
Enclosed is a copy of the City Council documentation and a certified excerpt of the minutes for your file. The City of Long Beach thanks you for your assistance in this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
MONIQUE DE LA GARZA
CITY CLERK
