Since then <br />several permits have been issued for interior and exterior tenant improvements. In the 1970s and <br />1980s, the subject building was occupied by child welfare offices. In 1994, Northgate Gonzales <br />Market began occupying the site. The same year, Northgate Market received approval of a <br />conditional use permit for a Type 20 ABC license to allow the off-premise sale of beer and wine. <br />On March 9, 2015, Northgate Market received approval of CUP No. 2015-04 to upgrade from a <br />Type 20 ABC license to a Type 21 ABC license in order to distilled spirits for off-premise <br />consumption, in addition to its existing beer and wine sales. Northgate Market remained in <br />operation at the location until the end of 2022 and the tenant space has remained vacant since. <br />Northgate Market transferred their Type 21 ABC license in November 2022 to their new location <br />at 2603 W. Westminster Avenue. <br />Ole City Market is a supermarket chain with four locations in Los Angeles County. The company’s <br />origins trace back to 1998 with the establishment of Villa Market in Long Beach. In 2003, the <br />company expanded by acquiring Best Bargain in Inglewood, a 25,000-square-foot market that <br />originally opened as an Alpha Beta in the late 1960s. The establishment is dedicated to providing <br />competitively priced, high-quality goods in a convenient and welcoming shopping environment. <br />Product offerings include fresh produce, meats, seafood, deli items, frozen foods, groceries, <br />beverages, and a selection of beer and liquor. <br />Project Analysis <br />Conditional Use Permit Analysis <br />CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC.
