SITE PLAN
Project Description and Written Statement for 7-Eleven Store #24549 Use Permit Application for Type 21 Alcoholic Beverage Sales This 7-Eleven has been selling beer and wine for off-site consumption for decades. Now, 7-Eleven and the franchisee, Mr. Chadha, are applying to upgrade their Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) Type 20 (off-sale beer and wine) license to a Type 21 (off-sale beer, wine, and distilled spirits) license in order to provide a “one-stop” shopping experience and best serve the neighborhood. The sale of distilled spirits will be limited to a very small area behind the register measuring approximately three (3) feet wide by six (6) feet tall. The proposed distilled spirits will not be directly accessible to customers without assistance from store personnel.

Days/Hours of Operation 24 hours, daily/7 days per week Merchandise or Food Service 7-Eleven offers a full range of grocery and household items including, but not limited to fresh and healthy food options, salads and sandwiches, dairy items, and bakery items, in addition to the expanded line of products sold at 7-Eleven convenience markets.

Alcohol Service Applicant currently offers the off-site sale of beer and wine, and requests with this CUP Application to allow for the off-site sale of a full line of alcoholic beverage sales.

Sales of distilled spirits will be limited to a small sales area that is only accessible by store personnel and will remain incidental to the overall product offering at the store.

Alcohol Sales Hours 6. a.m. - 2 a.m., daily
Type of Alcohol Sales Currently: Type 20 for Off-Site Beer & Wine Proposed: Type 21 for Off-Site Full Line
Number of Employees per Shift 1-4 Employees, depending on the day/time Deliveries (merchandise, fuel, etc.) Deliveries of products are delivered to 7-Eleven daily.

Parking Operations or Layout There are 23 on-site parking spaces for the 7-Eleven customers.

The subject business is an existing 7-Eleven located on the northwest corner of S. Prospect Avenue and Artesia Boulevard in the city of Manhattan Beach. This 7-Eleven is franchised by Antar Chadha and has been in successful operations at this location for over thirty years. In over three decades, this local 7-Eleven store has proven itself to be a reliable and responsible retailer of alcoholic beverages. 7-Eleven and Mr. Chadha are now applying for an upgrade in the ABC License type. The Applicant requests with the submission of this Conditional Use Permit Application to upgrade from the current Type 20 off-sale beer and wine license to a Type 21 off-sale full line of alcoholic beverages for this store.
7-Eleven Inc. is a nationally recognized brand of convenience stores, operating with adherence to strict corporate policies to ensure the responsible retailing of alcoholic beverages. The Applicant has existed at this location since the store first opened, enabling customers to purchase everyday essential grocery items, including fresh food items, and is requesting approval for an upgrade in ABC License type to further the convenience provided to the surrounding community.

7-Eleven and Mr. Chadha take their responsibility as alcohol retailers very seriously in order to ensure the sale of alcohol does not negatively impact surrounding residents, businesses or sensitive uses. The following are some of the many ways in which the Applicant operates responsibly to ensure 7-Eleven is a safe and beneficial local store for its customers and the surrounding community:

1. Trash/Litter/Graffiti/Site Maintenance, etc. 7-Eleven and Mr. Chadha maintain the premises in a safe, clean, and responsible manner. Management and employees regularly monitor the interior and exterior of the premises. Staff conducts regular site walks and inspections of the premises throughout the day in order to clean up any trash or debris as well as to promptly deter any loitering, panhandling or other objectionable activity.

Additionally, if any graffiti occurs, the franchisee immediately addresses the matter in order to have the graffiti cleaned and/or painted over within 24-48 hours.

2. Security and Police Issues. Initial and continued training is an important and fundamental element necessary to operate this store in a safe and responsible manner. All employees must complete training courses on security, safety, deterrent strategies to discourage loitering, facility maintenance and operations, responsible sales of age-restricted products, accident prevention, and workplace safety. Digital surveillance cameras maintain recorded footage for at least thirty (30) days and are situated in both the interior and the exterior of the store. The security footage is shared with law enforcement upon request. Additionally, the windows and low-profile displays are appealing to customers and law enforcement as it improves their ability to view the interior of the convenience store day and night. Further, exterior advertising is minimized in order to allow law enforcement the ability to view the store interior from the street.

3. Loitering and Panhandling. 7-Eleven and Mr. Chadha do not tolerate loitering and/or panhandling at this business. Management and staff are required to monitor the interior and exterior of the premises, which helps to promptly deter any loitering, panhandling or other objectionable activity. Additionally, proper and adequate signage are posted which clearly state the business policy prohibiting loitering.

4. Addressing Neighborhood Concerns. The franchisee, Mr. Chadha, has owned and operated this local 7- Eleven store for many years. As such, if there were ever any concerns or complaints from neighbors, Mr. Chadha would take immediate action in order to resolve the matter. Mr. Chadha would work with the neighbors in order to address the concern and find a mutually beneficial solution.

5. Lighting and Windows. 7-Eleven and Mr. Chadha maintain a well-lit and clean store. All lighting is sufficient to ensure that individuals are easily identifiable, but the lighting is not too bright to disturb any nearby neighbors. The windows have low-profile displays which are appealing to customers and law enforcement as it improves their ability to view the interior of the convenience store day and night. Further, exterior advertising is minimized in order to allow law enforcement the ability to view the store interior from the street.

6. Noise. 7-Eleven, a small and local convenience store, does not generate excessive noise or noise-related complaints. 7-Eleven will continue to obey all noise-related standards pursuant to the Manhattan Beach Municipal Code and continue its effort to limit any unnecessary noise coming from the business. Staff also makes sure there are no open containers of alcoholic beverages or consumption of alcohol on the premises to further deter noise and objectionable activities.

7. Employee Training. The Applicant conducts training segments on security, safety, deterrent strategies to discourage loitering, facility maintenance and operations, responsible sales of age-restricted products, accident prevention, and workplace safety. Additionally, consistent with Business and Professions Code section 25658.4, 7- Eleven requires employees to sign the Clerk’s Affidavit informing employees of the laws related to selling alcoholic beverages. 7-Eleven corporate policies require that employees request an identification from any person who appears 30 years of age or younger. Training segments also include identifying acceptable forms of identification and detecting false identifications. Further, cash registers are programmed to identify age-restricted products, like alcohol, requiring employees to check identification and enter a date of birth or scan the identification of the purchaser before completing the sale.
