Director of Planning convened the meeting and opened the Public Hearing at 1 :35 p.m.
Junior Planner Lowrey presented an overview of the project and staff recommendations. The
proposed project is a request to authorize a Type-42 license to allow beer and wine tasting
within Barons Marketplace. Barons currently holds a Type-21 license which authorizes the sale
of beer, wine and distilled spirits for consumption off the premises. A 300-square foot beer and
wine tasting room, separate from the main store, will be located at the rear of the market. Staff
has verified through the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control that the project is within
Census Tract 0432.21. A total of five on-sale licenses currently exist in the tract and 14 are
allowed before it is considered "over-concentrated." Since this census tract is not over-
concentrated with on-sale licenses, Public Convenience or Necessity Findings are not required.
The proposed use is consistent with the City's General Plan and zoning within the Margarita
Village Specific Plan, underlying Neighborhood Commercial zoning designation as well as the
standards within the Development Code. Project is categorical exempt from further
environmental review per CEQA Section 15301, Class 1 Existing Facilities.
Director Ubnoske asked for that the applicant state his name for the record and asked if he had
the opportunity to review the Conditions of Approval and concur with them.

of Approval and was in agreement with them.
