CUP No. 2016 -14 April 25, 2016 Page 2 Restaurant Acapulco is requesting approval of a CUP to allow an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license for the on- premise consumption of alcoholic beverages to patrons at the restaurant. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41 -196, eating establishments wishing to sell alcohol to diners require approval of a CUP; however, the use of the property as an eating establishment is permitted by right. The tenant is currently in the process of pursuing tenant improvements to move from the current location at Unit 108 to an adjacent location which will combine Units 106 and 107. The resulting reconfiguration will contain an occupant capacity of 49 persons. A restaurant and a retail space currently occupy Units 106 and 107, respectively. The property owner intends to surrender the existing CUP for Unit 108 and will submit a letter to the Planning Division stating their intent. Overall alcohol storage and display areas will consist of less than five percent of the floor area, which is consistent with the standards contained in the SAMC (Exhibits 4 and 5). The proposed hours of operation for the restaurant are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. on Fridays through Sundays. The restaurant also plans to host live music and has been approved for a Category 2 Entertainment Permit. Prolect Backaround Restaurant Acapulco will occupy a unit in the McFadden - Sullivan Center, an existing commercial development constructed between 1986 and 1988. Under the name Taqueria Acapulco, the restaurant has occupied Unit 108 for the past 20 years and will be moving to a new space in the same building, The development contains 16 commercial units, two of which will be consolidated to create the new space for the restaurant. Uses for the other units in the development include retail businesses, offices, and a laundromat. The applicant filed CUP No. 99 -18 in May 1999 to allow an ABC license for the restaurant's current location at Unit 108. As conditioned, the applicant will surrender CUP No. 99 -18 for Unit 108. This will keep the number of allowable ABC licenses at the same amount. A family -owned Mexican restaurant, Restaurant Acapulco has been a part of their community for the past two decades. The intent to expand the operations by moving to a larger space speaks to the success of this particular business. The applicant will be applying for an ABC license, which authorizes eating establishments to sell beer and wine for consumption on or off the premises where sold. The previous location also held an ABC license. 31A-4
