Discus:ion of ABC approval process. <br />(Charles View) <br />Mr. Charles View, Senior Planner, presented an overview of the City's <br />review process for ABC applications. As part of his presentation, he <br />displayed a chart which illustrated a reduction in the total number of <br />licensee inthe City within the last five years. He explained that land <br />use approval for a license request may be obtained through either a land <br />use certificate or a conditional use permit. <br />Me. 2elenne Cardenas, Director of Project Sabado, presented an overview of <br />Project Sabado and formally requested the Planning Commission to direct <br />staff to adopt a nuisance abatement ordinance dealing with nonconforming <br />liquor establishments. The City's current nuisance abatement ordinance <br />does not specifically address liquor establishments. She indicated that <br />the adoption of such an ordinance would give the city more leverage in <br />dealing with many existing establishments which do not currently have a <br />conditional use permit. <br />Ma. Angela Goldberg of Project Sabado, also addressed the Commission. She <br />indicated that the nuisance abatement ordinance modeled after the Los <br />Angeles Ordinance could be easily implemented. In addition, it would <br />serve as a powerful deterrent, encouraging existing establishments to <br />follow city guidelines for appropriate business practices. Ms. Goldberg <br />
