RESOLUTION NO. _____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THAT PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE WOULD BE SERVED BY THE ISSUANCE OF A
TYPE 21 (OFF-SALE GENERAL) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL LICENSE AT AN AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION
CONVENIENCE MARKET (CHEVRON) LOCATED AT 6600
NORTH INDIAN CANYON DRIVE (APN: 669-091-019 & 669-091-
020) WITHIN CENSUS TRACT NO. 445.24 (CASE NO. PCN-2026- 0001).
WHEREAS, G & M Oil Co., LLC has initiated the application process for a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits at an existing automobile service station convenience market (Chevron) located at 6600 North Indian Canyon Drive (APN: 669- 091-019 & 669-091-020), Census Tract No. 445.24, Zone HC; and WHEREAS, The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has determined that nine (9) off-sale licenses have been issued within Census Tract No. 445.24, while only one (1) alcohol license would be allowed based on off-sale retail licenses to population in the County in which the applicant’s premise is located; and WHEREAS, The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has determined that the addition of the requested license would cause an “undue concentration” of alcohol-related licenses in the Census Tract No. 445.24; and WHEREAS, Pursuant to Section 23958.4(b)(2) of the State of California Business and Professions Code, the City Council may determine the public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of the requested license within an area of undue concentration; and
WHEREAS, The business is located within the Highway Commercial (HC) and Regional Business Center (RBC) zoning and General Plan land use designation areas, which are intended to provide for “…the retail and service needs of freeway travelers” (PSZC § 92.14.1.00) and “…accommodate a wide variety of business activities in a multi- use environment…” to “…serve an area larger than the City proper…” (Palm Springs 2040 General Plan, page 2-17). As shown on the context map (Attachment H), there is no business within the site’s immediate vicinity that holds a Type 21 ABC license. The closest license holder to the project site is the Rocket convenience store (19995 N. Indian Canyon Dr.), which is located on the north side of Interstate 10 approximately 0.26 mile away from the site. Issuance of a Type 21 ABC liquor license would allow the applicant to become the nearest establishment to Interstate 10 on its south side on North Indian Canyon Drive to serve the eastbound travelers. This would strengthen the business’ identity as a “convenient one-stop shop” by offering a more diversified range of products and better serving local and regional travelers. Therefore, issuance of a Type 21 ABC liquor license would serve the public convenience.
