Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -21 November 9, 2015 Page 4 The Police Department also reviews the number of ABC licenses within the census tract which the site is located for potential overconcentration issues. A review of local census tracts has determined that Dollar General is located in Census Tract 746.02. The ABC Department has determined that 11 on -sale licenses and five off -sale licenses are permitted within this census tract to service the local community. Currently, there are only three on -sale licenses and three off -sale licenses active in the census tract, which means the census tract is not over concentrated with ABC licenses.
