DISCUSSION:
United Gas, located at 1679 Myrtle Ave. in Eureka, CA, has submitted an application to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for a Type 21 Alcoholic Beverage License.
The Type 21 Alcoholic Beverage License is specifically designed for businesses that operate as a convenience store, grocery store or small market. This license permits the sale of liquor or distilled spirits for consumption off-premises from where they are purchased. The license in question is available because a business holding that license in Eureka has closed. The license would be transferred to United Gas if the Board of Supervisors adopts the proposed resolution (Attachment 1).
United Gas received notification from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control requesting that they needed a resolution to make a determination of “public convenience” from the County of Humboldt’s Board of Supervisors. Upon adoption of the resolution, they can proceed with the approval process.
Supervisor Arroyo has communicated with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and recommends approval of the attached resolution.
