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 in regard to this request within ninety (90) days of notification of the completed application, 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.
