Re: Application of Double Cream , LLC, dba Oh La Vache, for an original application of an Alcoholic Beverage Control License, at 2112 East 4 th Street.
Dear Mr. Beach:
Please be advised that the Long Beach City Council, at its meeting held Tuesday, May 24, 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 t he City Manager to withdraw the protest if the City's Planning Commission app roves a Conditional U se Permit Exemption (CUPEX) and if no appeal is made during th e 10-day appeal perio d for the CUPEX. It is anticipated that the CUPEX will be acted upon by the P lanning Commission, and once t he appeal period has elapsed, a letter will be transmi tted to ABC withdrawing the Ci ty'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
