cs/Planning.
The applicant is proposing to offer beer and wine for sale for off -site consumption at the proposed convenience store.
The store would be open 24 hours a day but proposes alcohol sales hours of 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., the maximum
allowed by the state. 90% of all alcohol products would be stored in four coolers in the rear corner of the store that
would be locked after sales hours. Larger items (e.g., cases of beer) would be located on shelves near the coolers.
Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on April 18, 2011. No concerns were noted from area residents.
Commissioners asked questions regarding conditions of approval and Police Department concerns. PD indicated that
7-Eleven was a responsible business partner and that there were minimal concerns. The applicant requested
amended language to condition no. 8, related to required employee training, to allow for 7-Eleven corporate training,
with the approval of PD and/or state Alcoholic Beverage Control. There was also discussion of recent Council
direction regarding 3-pack sales of beer. The Commission voted to approve the CUP based on required findings and
subject to conditions of approval, with changes to conditions to reflect required employee training (no. 8) and to allow
for 3-pack sales in the future if Council permits such sales (no. 10).
