SUBJECT: Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity on Application for Alcoholic Beverage License Type 21 for Chevron Stations, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Consider and take action on request for Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity for application for an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 21 license filed by Chevron Stations, Inc. to be used at Chevron Extra Mile convenience store located at 25032 W. Dorris Avenue, Coalinga, CA 93210.
REPORT
Chevron Stations, Inc. (the Applicant) is applying for a Type 21 license (off-sale general) to be used at 25032 W. Dorris Avenue, Coalinga, CA 93210. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has determined that an undue concentration of alcoholic beverage licenses exists in Census Tract 79.03, where this business is located. However, Business and Professions Code sections 23958 and 23958.4 provide that even if the census tract or County has an undue concentration of alcoholic beverage licenses, ABC may issue a license if the local governing body determines that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of the license. Six off-sale licenses are allowed in census tract 79.03. There are currently eight registered licenses. The Applicant currently has a type 20 license (off-sale beer and wine) and is applying to convert to a type 21 license; therefore, approval of this application will not increase the number of off-sale licenses in this census tract. This item pertains to a location in District 4.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not make a determination regarding public convenience or necessity within 90 days of notification of this request, ABC may still issue the license if the applicant shows ABC that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance, pursuant to Section 23958.4(b)(2) of the Business and Professions Code.
