So uh quick thought, uh quick question.

How does this impact our diff districts?

Um the term alcohol.

That's bookshops, correct?

Well, no, we also had one about um we wanted to kind of restrict how many licenses for alcohol we wanted to carry in the district as well.

Yeah, so basically they'd be subject to um a physical development of the grocery store would be okay, but so this application's um focused on the alcohol license part.

So like they have to apply for the conditional use permit, and it'll have to be reviewed as far as whether it complies or not for the um the that new ordinance that has certain location restrictions, like has to be a certain distance from the school or um school parks, um over concentrated licenses, all those types of issues.

Okay, and then um, but there is um an exception there for a full service grocery store.

Um so um depending on the application type and but whatever that's in the record is demonstrating that it's a full-on grocery store, like there's possible exceptions to it.

Got it, but that ordinance would apply to what offsell up all license.

Got it.

Thank you for the clarity.

Is um so on that corner there's also the pizza hut that's on that corner?

And McDonald's.

So it was the Pizza Hut either that's it's in the right in the corner of the building, but we have the majority of the building.

Is it the same owner for the entire building?

Yes, and same owner for the Pizza Hut as well, or is that the corporation that releases it?

Yep.

And has there any been any comment as far as the expansion of how that will impact if they're just uh nothing from their side?

What about some of the input from the community?

Nothing on that right now.

Okay, so you haven't really gone out to the community to kind of get their input of how this could be a useful.

We haven't, but a little background about the family, like we've been running grocery stores and stuff.

We are also uh my family's opening up a bit full-on Asian market uh uh from a Cera Vista law, 8,000 square foot.

So we're more of a uh grocery and lab business.

Uh me personally getting involved is this one first one.

My main business is scientist.

I started when I was 16, now I'm 22, so we are I'm trying to expand my uh stuff too.

So the community-wise, we did a lot of research around there, there is a Vallarta uh big corporation and the corner, but we want to be a little different from them and serve the community of the neighborhood market for them, not more like a cooperation.

Got it.

Any other comments?

No, I mean I grew up in a family that also does businesses like this, and so I understand they got it.

And I the way I view it, unless you can correct me if I'm wrong, it's mostly like a market, like vegetables, like thought and drinks, and then it also solved.

Yeah, yeah, that's a small part.

If that we had a license and stuff, we have to put it in use um at a location in a certain amount.

So we will open up the store and it's uh it's gonna have a little bit of it, not mainly, but main sale will be groceries, food items, packed items, and the equipment stuff for the household days.

Um the market the corporation market you mentioned, when does it close?

Which uh one that you said is nearby.

A lot of them, yeah.

Uh don't have, I think around 11 o'clock week days.

I'm just wondering because I see you guys are open pretty late, I think.

Um that was the time frame, but we're willing to uh success because we want to open late night because there's no other markers nearby that can just grab something quickly and yeah, I mean I wasn't saying anything against the first one.

I just noticed it was 7 a.m.

to 12 a.m.

to see as often 7 am et early because coffee as uh you know how that's why uh any uh public comment um I have a question.

You keep track um Thomas, you mentioned the restriction.

Who keeps track of how many licenses that we have when you talk about they would have to go through that vetting process to compare to the ordinance?

So it's partially um the planning review process, but then um as far as checking the actual numbers of licenses, we pull that directly from the state um Califor the California alcohol beverage control apartment.

Okay, and basically they have because they have the database of all the active licenses, and um that's how we can tell um the calculation part.

And then what corner was this again?

Cedar and Dakota, uh southwest corner of Bayarta next to the McDonald's.

Okay.

And they're what are their operating hours?

7 a.m.

to 12 a.m.

That's a lot.

Okay.
