CUP 7-88 is a request by Julius Dibsy to transfer an existing off-sale general license to himself as the new owner of Bay Liquor. Mr. Knight noted this will be the first CUP for this site as the previous owners were not required to obtain a CUP in order to operate. He noted further that Bill Stearns, Chief of POlice, Seal Beach reviewed the exist1ng records and had no reservations about permitting the operation to commence and that this business has operated at this location for several years wi th no history of complaints or adverse act1v1ty. The new owners have operated the business for several months with no inc1dents. Staff found that the issuance of this CUP, wi th conditions, would not adversely impact the commun1ty and recommended approval thru adoption of Resolution No. 1510. e The Commission discussed two topics of concern: ( 1 ) hours of operation and (2) window signage. Regarding the hours of operation, Mr. Knight said the City had contacted the applicant and the applicant stated his desired hours of operation. Regarding the signage, any s1gn advertising alcoholic beverages or display devices must be removed from the window areas. Mr. Knight noted that local regulations/ordinance are vague as to what's allowed 1n window areas. It was noted that this condition is in all CUP's for alcoholic beverage sales but that compliance by the store owners is spotty. .;- .. e Page 3 - Planning coJllllli.ssion Minutes of Auqust 3, 1988 PUBLIC HEARING e e Dr. Robert Vogler * 3667 Gondar Avenue.
