Planning Commission of San Jose City Hall, 200 East Santa Clara Street San Jose, CA 95113 Reconsideration Request for Liquor License Approval at 1484 South White Road (CP22-024 & ER22-187)
Dear Members of the Planning Commission:
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the recent approval of a Liquor License under reference CP22-024 & ER22-187 for the location at 1484 South White Road.
Before delving into my concerns, I would like to emphasize that while I serve as the President and CEO of the Latino Business Foundation of Silicon Valley, the views expressed in this letter are solely my own as a long-standing resident of East San Jose and as a parent of children attending nearby schools.
Having been a committed advocate for small businesses since 1998, I greatly appreciate and support the entrepreneurial spirit. New small businesses often rejuvenate communities, making them more thriving, walkable, and attractive. The recent decision by the owners to open a grocery store at this location was welcomed by many, and their commitment to serving our community is commendable.
However, the approval to allow this specific establishment to sell alcohol has left many of us deeply unsettled, particularly considering the troubled history associated with the previous tenants and its proximity to Mount Pleasant High School, which is only a mere 6-minute walking distance.
Furthermore, to call things as they truly are, it appears this establishment will function primarily as a liquor store that also sells groceries, rather than the other way around.
This site, as many residents can attest, has historically been a hotspot for negative activities. It's been the preferred "hangout" for underage drinking, especially for students from the nearby Mount Pleasant High School. The location has seen numerous incidents in the past, from drunk driving to public disturbances, a result of the unsupervised sale of alcohol.
The previous owner's loss of their liquor license was a relief for the community, and it's disheartening to see the potential return of these challenges.
During the hearing, the community's voice was undeniably against the approval of this liquor license. Other than the applicant, no one voiced support for the license. Many community members, both online and in-person, asked the commission to reject the application, sharing numerous incidents and problems associated with the location's past.
I found it alarming to learn that the applicant's security plan is based on a ratio of one security personnel for every 10 patrons. Drawing parallels between this establishment and a nightclub, as expressed by the applicant's consultant, should have raised serious concerns. The mere need for such heightened security suggests a recognition of the potential problems their alcohol sales could cause.
I say this with the utmost respect: If the commission had full visibility into the location's past and the profound implications of reintroducing alcohol sales there, I believe a different decision might have been reached. I earnestly urge the honorable Planning Commission to reconsider this decision.
Please conduct a more in-depth investigation into the history and implications of allowing liquor sales at this location.
I understand that the Planning Commission faces numerous complex decisions daily. My intention is not to criticize but to advocate for a safer and more secure community for our children and residents. Please consider the broader implications and potential consequences of this license approval.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Jesus Flores
East San Jose Resident
