Title
TANAR'S TOBACCO APPEAL (PA2023-0032)
Site Location: 2233 West Balboa Boulevard
Recommendation
Summary:
An appeal of the Zoning Administrator’s May 30, 2024, decision to deny a minor use permit to allow a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at an existing tobacco retail store. The Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer & Wine) ABC license would allow the existing retail business to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption. No other changes to the operation are requested and no construction is proposed. No on-site consumption of alcohol is proposed as part of the project.
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a de novo public hearing;
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Article 18, Section 15270 (Projects Which Are Disapproved) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 because a project which a public agency rejects or disapproves is statutorily exempt and not subject to review under CEQA; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2024-018 affirming the decision of the Zoning Administrator denying the Minor Use Permit filed as PA2023-0032.
