DENIAL OF USE PEP. HIT 86-6
APPLICANT:
LA HANCHA DEYELOPHENT CO.
11440 SAN ¥INCENTE BLVD.
LOS ANGELES, CA. 90049
LOCATION: 13842 NEWPORT AVENUE, UNIT A
REQUEST: TO AUTHORIZE AN OFF-SITE BEER AND WINE SALES LICENSE AT 13842
NEWPORT AVENUE, UNIT A.
RECOICHENDED ACTION:
Pleasure of the Council.
SURURY:
La Mancha Development has applied for this off-site beer and wine sales license
on behalf of Seven-Eleven stores. The proposed location for this Seven-Eleven
is to be in Unit A of the La Mancha Center which is currently under construction
at 13842 Newport Avenue at Walnut Street.
As is typical with most convenience markets, Seven-Eleven proposes to sell a
variety of grocery items. Currently, Tustin has four (4) Seven-Elevens: (1)
16791 McFadden Street, (2) 15202 Williams Street, (3) 14460 Newport Avenue, and
(4) 610 W. First Street. All of these locations have obtained a license for
off-site beer and wine sales. To be consistent in the services provided and to
maintain the corporate image that Seven-Eleven has established, La Mancha
Development Company is requesting authorization for an off-site beer and wine
sales license so that Seven-Eleven can locate in their new shopping center. All
Seven-Eleven stores are open 24 hours a day as will this proposed location.
ANALYSIS AMD CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed location for this market is within 600 feet of Tustin High School
and C. C. Lambert Elementary School. The shopping center is in an area that is
heavily used by students who walk to and from Tustin High School (see Exhibit
"A"). Staff has raised concerns regarding the possiblities of loitering and
truancy due to the availability of alcoholic beverages and video machines which
are usually present in Seven-Eleven stores.

The Tus%in Police Department has been contacted for their comments regarding
this application. Although they have not compiled any statistics which involve
teenagers and alcohol, they do experience problems with truancy and loitering at
other convenience markets in Tustin.
Tustin Unified School District, Tustin High School and C. C. Lambert Elementary
School have been contacted in regards to this Use Permit. However, both the
District and the school principals decline to comment in favor or opposition of
this request.
As evidenced by the attached copies of letters sent to Alcoholic Beverage
Control and the Tustin Planning Commission, Parents Who Care and a local
resident strongly oppose this request for off-site alcoholic beverage sales.
This oposition is based upon the proposed market's proximity to Tustin High
School (within 600'-) and to residentially used and zoned properties (less than
100').
This public hearing was held on February 24, 1986 and due to the comments and
information received regarding this application, The Planning Commission denied
Use Permit 86-6 based upon the following findings:
1)
That an alcohol'ic beverage sales establishment is inappropriate at this
location due to its proximity to C. C. Lambert Elementary School and
Tustin High School;
2)
That an alcoholic beverage sales establishment at this location is
inappropriate due to its proximity (less than 100') to residential
properties and the conflicts of increased noise and loitering.

It has come to our attention that application has been
made for a license to allow off-site sales at a new fast-
service market to be located at Walnut Street and Newport
Avenue in the city of Tustin. PARENTS WHO CARE urges that

Dear Commissioner:
It has come to our attention that request for a condi-
tional use permit has been submitted to the Commission by a
fast-service mini-market proposed at the location of Walnut
Street and Newport Avenue in Tustin, and that application
for a liquor license is planned.
We urge you to deny permit for the off-site sale of
alcoholic beverages at this location because of its proximity
to Tustin High School.
Our main concern, of course, is that the monitoring of
sales to the adolescent is typically so very difficult in the
mini-mart situation. You know, too, that we feel that the
number of licenses should be limited to the needs of the
community. Tustin does not need. another off-site sales
location.
Thank you for your consideration of our position.
Sincerely,
Ethel D.
