project background and project analysis. Discussion ensued regarding the number of ABC
licenses in the vicinity, conditions of approval, and the alcohol display area. It was
generally agreed that the total gross annual sales of alcohol for the market and restaurant
should not exceed total gross annual sales of food and other non-alcoholic times. This
would ensure that the sale of alcohol is ancillary to the market and restaurant uses. The
