Resolution No. 10-042
Conditional Use Permit#2009-102 for the Sale of Distilled Spirits, Beer and Wine for
Off-Premises Consumption for one (1) Major intended for Drug Store Use at the Heritage
Square Shopping Center
1. The conditional use permit is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map
and applicable General Plan objectives, policies, and programs;
2. The project site is designated Community Development: Commercial Retail
(CD:CR)(0.20-0.35 floor area ratio) on the Sun City/Menifee Valley Area Plan.
3. The proposed use, sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits at the future drug
store/pharmacy, is a permitted use in the Community Development: Commercial
Retail (CD: CR) (0.20-0.35 floor area ratio) designation.
4. The conditional use permit is consistent with Ordinance No. 348, Section 18.28,
or such successor ordinance as may be adopted, which provides for conditional
use procedures, enforcement, and revocations;
5. The conditional use permit is compatible with or provides adequate buffering of
adjoining uses in that the properties to the south are zoned for commercial uses
and the areas to the north and west are for existing and planned residential that
could use a convenience store;
6. The establishment, maintenance or conducting of the use for which the
conditional use permit is sought will not, under the particular case, be detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood;
7. The establishment, maintenance or conducting of the use for which the
conditional use permit is sought will not, under the particular case, be
objectionable or incompatible with the character of the city and its environs due
to noise, dust, odors or other undesirable characteristics may be prohibited;
8. The establishment, maintenance or conducting of the use for which the
conditional use permit is sought will be essential or desirable to the public
convenience or welfare, and will not impair the integrity and character of the
zoned district or be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare;
9. The California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Act requires the local
jurisdiction to make a finding of Public Convenience or Necessity prior to the
ABC granting the license, when said retail liquor license would be located in a
census tract of undue concentration of retail liquor licenses or if the granting if the
retail liquor license would cause a census tract to have an undue concentration;
10. The California Alcoholic Beverage Control Board currently allows five licenses
within this census tract; however, six (6) are existing. According to ABC, an
undue concentration of licenses exists within this census tract.
9. The year 2000 census population for Census Tract No. 42722 was 8,339 persons
according to the US Census Bureau (Census 2000 Summary File 3).
10. The 2007 population of Census Tract No. 42722, according to County-
maintained demographics, was 13,871 persons.
Resolution No. 10-042
Conditional Use Permit#2009-102 for the Sale of Distilled Spirits, Beer and Wine for
Off-Premises Consumption for one (1) Major intended for Drug Store Use at the Heritage
Square Shopping Center
11. Per the Riverside County Planning Department, the population estimate by 2008
will be even greater than that of the 2007 population, due to the number of
approved residences within Census Tract No. 42722. According to County of
Riverside demographics, the estimate population for 2010 is 17,900 persons.
12. The maximum concentration level for General Liquor License (Type 21) is
combined with Beer and Wine (Type 20) and limited to one per 1,250 people by
census tract (Alcoholic Beverage Control Act: California Business and
Professions Code 23817.5)
13. The over-concentration of Beer and Wine (Type 20) and General Liquor (Type
21) licenses is determined by comparing the County-wide population per license
to the census tract population and number of Type 20 and Type 21 license
issued in that census tract. If there are more licenses per person (or fewer people
per license) within the census tract than the county average, there is an over-
concentration (California Alcoholic Beverage Control).
14. Using 2005 population estimates and current liquor license numbers, Riverside
County has one (1) combined (Type 20 and Type 21) license per 1,562 persons.
15. A population of 13,871 persons (the 2007 estimated population for Census Tract
No. 42722) would allow for a maximum concentration of eleven combined (Type
20 and Type 21) liquor license within the census tract.
16. Six combined (Type 20 and Type 21) licenses are currently issued in Census
Tract No. 42712. The existing six licenses equate to approximately 0.5 licenses
per 1,250 persons, roughly half the allowable concentration. The allowance of
the two (2) additional licenses would equate to 0.70 licenses per 1,250 persons.
17. Census Tract No. 42722 is not over concentrated with Type 20 and Type 21
combined liquor licenses.
18. The proposed project site is located within 1,000 feet of Boulder Ridge Middle
School. The drug store is located over 500 feet away from the Boulder Ridge
Middle School.
19. The proposed project site is not located within 100 feet of existing and habited
residences.
20. The drug store is requesting a type 21 license to allow for the sale of beer, wine,
and distilled spirits for off-site consumption only.
21. The drug store is primarily engaged in the sale of household items, personal care
products, and medications and shall be selling beer, wine, and distilled spirits in
conjunction with these other items.
22. The project shall not be situated in such a manner that vehicle traffic from the
facility may reasonably be believed to be a potential hazard to a school, church,
Public Park or playground.
