Good morning, Martin.
One quick question and several points of clarification:
Is both a CUP and a type 41 license transferable from the business that receives a CUP in National City to another person or business?
-The CUP runs with the property. The ABC license can be transferred elsewhere or to another person at the same location. However, if the license is transferred elsewhere, a new license must take its place or else alcohol sales cannot take place, CUP or not.
In addition in today’s Council meeting:
In the item 10.1 for the appeal of denial of Manna Heaven's CUP, the Attachment C, a letter from the applicant, is incompletely uploaded to the html agenda. Please fix this for today’s meeting.
-Will do. It will be uploaded to the website shortly. I will follow up with you.
The two issues 10.1 and 10.2 are very similar, but the staff reports do not contain all of the same kinds of information. I see in that the staff report on page 4 for Round 1 cites Public Comment that was given at the Planning Commission. Thank you for mentioning it, but the same citation is not in the staff report for Manna Heaven. I request that you add that in the written report for today’s meeting.
-Understood. They are two separate types of reports. One is a straightforward staff report and one is an appeal. The appeal is strictly related to the reasons for the Commission’s denial. I will make mention in my presentation.
On page 3 of the Round 1 staff report, the census tract, #32.04 is noted as attached (Attachment 5?). This is not attached. Please add it to your staff report for today’s meeting. -This is part of Exhibit D. Attachments are noted differently in PC and CC reports. Change will be made in the future.
Finally, the Planning Commission chairman made several changes to correct the public record of the minutes for the August 21, 2023 Commission meeting concerning Manna Heaven.
These changes were not noted in the minutes, as seen in Agenda item 4, of the subsequent meeting on September 18, 2023. How can we track the actual actions of the appointed commissioners if the record does not completely reflect what is said and done? -Noted. I will work with the Planning Commission Secretary to amend said minutes.
See you soon,
Ted Godshalk
