MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 2, 2011
TO: Adolfo Gonzales, Chief of Police Via Chain of Command
FROM: Graham Young, Sergeant
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit (CUP-2011-03) for the sale of beer and
wine — Type 20 License -Shell Gas Station at 1601 East 8th Street
This Conditional Use Permit application is for the sale of beer and wine Type 20
License at a new food mart at the Shell Gas Station at 1601 East 8th. Staff has
indicated that the applicant would like to sell beer and wine from the hours of
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. daily.
On November 2, 2011, I conducted a site survey of the proposed location the
proximity to other ABC licensed establishments within close proximity to the
location. I found during this site survey that there are 4 (four) ABC licensed
establishments within close proximity (four blocks) of the proposed CUP location.
These locations are as follows:
• Ranch House Liquor — 404 Palm Avenue
• Alottas — 419 Palm Avenue
• King's Liquor — 1628 East 8th Street
• Carnival Market — 1750 East 8th Street
Currently the City of National City has a total of 100 "On -sale" and "Off -sale"
alcohol selling establishments. This equates to 11.7 alcohol selling
establishments per square mile within the City. Maintaining the regulation and
enforcement of ABC laws is extremely difficult when the Police Department is
faced with personnel cutbacks.
The Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, (ABC) has only four enforcement
personnel to cover regulation enforcement operations in the geographic area
south of the Interstate 8, leaving municipal agencies to conduct enforcement of
ABC regulations situated in their own jurisdictions.

Submitted by: Institute for Public Strategies- Debbie Ramos
The proposed location of the Food Mart is at the Shell gas station located at Palm Ave
and 8th Street in National City. The census tract is 119.01 which allows for 2 off sale
alcohol licenses; currently there are none.
In 2010, there were 5 DUI arrests and 2 Drunk in Public arrests made in the 1600-1900
blocks of 8th Street.
There are many small businesses located nearby, including liquor stores, convenience
stores and a Carnival Supermarket that already sells alcoholic beverages.
An additional liquor license in the city has the potential to increase crime, reduce resident
quality of life and increase the incidence of alcohol related accidents.
If the CUP is granted, it is recommended that:
The sale of alcoholic beverages is limited to the hours of 8:00- 12:00;
That all persons selling alcoholic beverages shall receive Responsible Beverage sales and
Service training;
The sale of beer or malt beverages in quantities of quarts, 22, 32, 40 ounce or similar
sized containers be prohibited;
No beer or malt beverage products shall be sold in quantities of less than a six-pack.
No excessive alcohol advertising that targets youth or holidays.
