REQUIRED INFORMATION
Specific action being appealed and the date of that action:
The denial f Conditional Use Permit 23-01 and Public Convenience and Necessity 23-01 by Planning Commission on August 12, 2025.
Specific grounds for the appeal: We believe the Planning Commission erred in the decision to deny. _the request based on the existing number of licenses within the census tract, crime, and a -nearby sensitive use without considering any conditions that would mitigate any concerns that the applicant was willing to consent with.
Action sought: _ Respectfully overturn the Planning Commission denial and approve the Conditional Use Permit and PCN with conditions.
Additional information: The licenses in the census tract (7) does not reflect an oversaturation in the number of alcohol licenses that have been issued. The State allocates 5 off-site but allows more with an approved conditional use permit. It is very normal for the number of licenses in a census tract all over California to exceed what is allocated.
The crime stats did exceed the average but we reduced the intensity significantly with conditions. Hours of operation reduced, locked coolers, work with the police with their security system, and another review to make sure operated with responsibility such as a sunset clause. There are many ways to mitigate any concerns instead of denying an applicant. 8-26-25
