Conditional Use Permit No. 2017 -13 April 10, 2017 Page 4 The Police Department reviews conditional use permit applications for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with alcohol consumption are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. For on -sale licenses, the Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained in the Business and Professions Code Section 23945.4(c)(2), which also are utilized by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This section defines "reported crimes" as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts, In keeping with the standard used by the State ABC and Business and Professions Cade, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation. The Police Department has reviewed this application and is supportive of the ABC license upgrade. The historical lack of Police activity at the site, in conjunction with the operational standards applicable to this request, will mitigate any Police related concerns due to the ABC license upgrade.
