Type -21 (Off -Sale General) license allowing beer, wine and distilled spirits in conjunction with
the existing Buena Market requested by Conditional Use Permit 18-23 and Public Convenience
or Necessity Letter 18-07 is not an appropriate land use at this location due to the following:

total number of ABC licenses allowed by the California Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control,
2) The crime rate within the subject reporting district exceeds the average City-wide
crime rate,
3) Buena Market does not meet the City's 500 foot distance separation threshold from a
sensitive use, and

4) The proposed use to allow and upgraded ABC license does not meet the goals and

WHEREAS, on April 23, 2019, pursuant to the requirements of Section 19.52.100
(Filing of Appeals) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, the applicant submitted an

1) The existing and continued operation of the Buena Market can be characterized as a
full-service Neighborhood Grocery Store, as generally defined in the City's
Development Code, in that is sells fresh fruit, vegetables meat and fresh fish, and has
food prepared on-site. Therefore, the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under the

Buena Market as a Neighborhood Grocery Store, as opposed to a liquor store which
principally involves the business of selling alcoholic beverages,
2) The Buena Market serves as a viable convenience to the community and is well lit for
added safety,
3) The Police Department reported that there were no alcohol-related incidents at the

WHEREAS, this Resolution memorializes the findings associated with the decision.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this
reference.
SECTION 2. Findings of Fact - Conditional Use Permit 18-23 and Public Convenience
or Necessity Letter 18-07.
Finding No. 1: The proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity establishment is located in
a zoning district in which the establishment is a permitted use.
Finding of Fact: Pursuant to Section 19.06.020 (Development Permitted and Conditionally
Permitted Uses) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, a
business with an Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license is a permitted
land use within the Paseo Las Placitas Specific Plan (SP -PLP) area. The
request to allow the upgrade of the existing ABC Type -20 (Off -Sale Beer
& Wine) license that was previously approved by the Planning
Commission under Conditional Use Permit 88-43 to a new ABC Type -21
(Off -Sale General) license in conjunction with the existing Buena Market
is permitted, subject to the approval of a new Conditional Use Permit with
the appropriate Conditions of Approval and CEQA determination.
The subject site is located within Census Tract 43.02, where the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license concentration
standards allow for a maximum of three (3) off -sale licenses. There are
currently five (5) existing active off -sale licenses within this census tract,
including the existing ABC Type -20 (Off -Sale Beer & Wine) license at
this location. Therefore, there is an over concentration of off -sale ABC
licenses within this census tract. Additionally, the ABC license
concentration standards allow for a maximum of three (3) on -sale licenses
within this census tract. There are currently four (4) existing active on -sale
licenses within this census tract. Therefore, there is - also an over
concentration of on -sale ABC licenses within this census tract. In total,
there are nine (9) existing active ABC licenses within this census tract
which exceeds the total of six (6) ABC licenses allowed by the California
Resolution No. 2019-182
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. However, upgrading the
existing ABC Type -20 (Off -Site Beer & Wine) license to a new ABC
Type -21 (Off -Sale General) license will not increase the total number of
ABC licenses within the subject census tract.
The City of San Bernardino Police Department has reviewed the
application for the proposed upgrade from an ABC Type -20 (Off -Site
Beer & Wine) license to a new ABC Type -21 (Off -Sale General) license
for Buena Market, and conducted an investigation based on the
information provided and crime statistics within the surrounding area. The
Police Department has indicated that there are a total of 219 reporting
districts within the City, and that there was an average of 91 crimes per
reporting district during the course of the past year. It was also determined
that the subject reporting district in which the existing Buena Market is
located had a total of 139 crimes, which exceeds the City-wide average of
91 crimes per reporting district by a total of approximately 53%. This does
not meet the 20% threshold established by the City's Development Code.
However, it was also noted by the Police Department that there were no
alcohol-related incidents at the subject property or immediate vicinity.
Pursuant to Section 19.06(2)(B) (Commercial Zones Specific Standards —
Alcohol Beverage Sales) of the City of San Bernardino Development
Code, "a new alcoholic beverage sales activity is not permitted within
500 feet of any of the following locations: I) public or private state
licensed or accredited school, 2) public parr playground, recreational
area, or youth facility, including a nursery school, preschool, or day-care
facility, 3) place of worship or religious institution; 4) hospital, 5) alcohol
or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facility, or, 6) county social
service office. " After completing a review of the surrounding
neighborhood, it has been identified that Our Lady of Guadalupe Church
is located approximately 300 feet west of Buena Market. This does not
meet the 500 foot distance separation threshold from sensitive uses
established by the City's Development Code. However, there was no
opposition raised by the parishioners or surrounding residents.
Although the proposal under Conditional Use Permit 18-23 and Public
Convenience or Necessity Letter 18-07 to upgrade an existing ABC Type -
20 (Off -Site Beer & Wine) license to a new ABC Type -21 (Off -Sale
General) license for Buena Market exceeds the total allowable number of
ABC licenses within the subject census tract, the crime rate within the
subject reporting district exceeds the average City-wide crime rate, and the
project site does not meet the City's 500 foot distance separation threshold
from a sensitive use, the existing and continued operation of the Buena
Market can be characterized as a full-service Neighborhood Grocery
Store, as generally defined in the City's Development Code, in that is sells
fresh fruit, vegetables meat and fresh fish, and has food prepared on-site.
Resolution No. 2019-182
Thus, the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under the new ABC Type -
21 (Off -Sale General) license will serve as an ancillary component of
Buena Market as a Neighborhood Grocery Store, as opposed to a liquor
store which principally involves the business of selling alcoholic
beverages.
Therefore, the approval of Conditional Use Permit 18-23 and Public
Convenience or Necessity Letter 18-07 to upgrade an existing ABC Type -
20 (Off -Site Beer & Wine) license to a new ABC Type -21 (Off -Sale
General) license for Buena Market as a Neighborhood Grocery Store,
along with the imposed Conditions of Approval, remedies the potential
concerns associated with the total number of ABC licenses within the
subject census tract, the crime rate within the subject reporting district,
and the distance separation from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.
Finding No. 2: Finding or Public Convenience or Necessity (Business and Professions
Code Section 23958.4(b)(2)), if the activity will be located in an area that
has been determined by the State of California Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control to have an undue concentration of licenses as defined in
Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4(a).
Finding of Fact: The subject site is located within Census Tract 43.02, where the California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license concentration
standards allow for a maximum of three (3) off -sale licenses. There are
currently five (5) existing active off -sale licenses within this census tract,
including the existing ABC Type -20 (Off -Sale Beer & Wine) license at
this location. Therefore, there is an over concentration of off -sale ABC
licenses within this census tract. Additionally, the ABC license
concentration standards allow for a maximum of three (3) on -sale licenses
within this census tract. There are currently four (4) existing active on -sale
licenses within this census tract. Therefore, there is also an over
concentration of on -sale ABC licenses within this census tract. Although
in total there are nine (9) existing active ABC licenses within this census
tract which exceeds the total of six (6) ABC licenses allowed by the
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, there will not be a
net increase in the number of ABC licenses due to the fact that the this
application is a request to upgrade the existing ABC Type -20 (Off -Sale
Beer & Wine) license previously approved by the Planning Commission
under Conditional Use Permit 88-43 to a new ABC Type -21 (Off -Sale
General) license in conjunction with the existing Buena Market.
Finding No. 3: A finding that the alcoholic beverage sales activity will not aggravate
existing problems in the neighborhood created by the sales of alcohol such
as loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise
and littering.
Resolution No. 2019-182
Finding of Fact: The Police Department has indicated that there are a total of 219 reporting
districts within the City, and that there was an average of 91 crimes per
reporting district during the course of the past year. Although it was also
determined that the subject reporting district in which the existing Buena
Market is located had a total of 139 crimes, which exceeds the City-wide
average .of 91 crimes per reporting district by a total of approximately
53%, none of the calls for service immediately adjacent to Buena Market
were alcohol-related. Therefore, the approval of Conditional Use Permit
18-23 and Public Convenience or Necessity Letter 18-07 will not
aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood. Additionally,
Conditions of Approval will be imposed to remedy the potential concerns
associated with crimes within the surrounding area.
Finding No. 4: The proposed establishment will not detrimentally affect nearby
neighborhoods considering the distance of the alcohol establishment to
residential buildings, schools, parks, playgrounds or recreational uses,
nonprofit youth facilities, places of worship, hospitals, alcohol or other
drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, county social service offices,
or other alcoholic beverage sales activity establishments.
Finding of Fact: Although Our Lady of Guadalupe Church is located approximately 300
feet west of Buena Market which does not meet the 500 foot distance
separation threshold from sensitive uses established by the City's
Development Code, there was no opposition raised by the parishioners, or
any residents from the surrounding neighborhood.
Finding No. 5: The proposed establishment will otherwise be compatible with existing
and potential uses within the general area.
Finding of Fact: Although the number of exiting ABC licenses within the subject census
tract exceeds the concentration standards of the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control, the crime rate within the subject reporting
district in which the existing Buena Market is located exceeds the City-
wide average, and the project site does not meet the City's 500 foot
distance separation threshold from sensitive uses, the continued operation
of the Buena Market can be characterized as a full-service Neighborhood
Grocery Store, as generally defined in the City's Development Code, in
that is sells fresh fruit, vegetables meat and fresh fish, and has food
prepared on-site. Thus, the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under
the new ABC Type -21 (Off -Sale General) license will serve as an
ancillary component of Buena Market as a Neighborhood Grocery Store,
as opposed to a liquor store which principally involves the business of
selling alcoholic beverages. Therefore, the approval of Conditional Use
Permit 18-23 and Public Convenience or Necessity Letter 18-07 will be
compatible with existing and potential uses within the general area.
Resolution No. 2019-182
Finding No. 6: The proposed establishment is not located in what has been determined to
be a high -crime area or where a disproportionate number of police service
calls occur.
Finding of Fact: Although the Police Department has indicated that there are a total of 219
reporting districts within the City, there was an average of 91 crimes per
reporting district during the course of the past year, and the subject
reporting district in which the existing Buena Market is located had a total
of 139 crimes, which exceeds the City-wide average of 91 crimes per
reporting district by a total of approximately 53%, the Police Department
reported that there were no alcohol-related incidents at the subject
property or immediate vicinity. Additionally, Conditions of Approval will
be imposed to prevent nuisances and secondary impacts. Therefore,
proposal under Conditional Use Permit 18-23 and Public Convenience or
Necessity Letter 18-07 is not likely to contribute to the existing crime rate.
Finding No. 7: The use of the proposed establishment is consistent with the General Plan.
Finding of Fact: The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to
guide future development within the City, including the following:
Land Use Element Policy 2.2.9: Require Police Department
review of uses that may be characterized by high levels of
noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of crime; providing
for the conditioning or control of use to prevent adverse
impacts on adjacent residences, schools, religious facilities,
and similar "sensitive" uses.
Land Use Element Policy 2.2.10: The protection of the
quality of life shall take precedence during the review of
new projects. Accordingly, the City shall utilize its
discretion to deny or require mitigation of projects that
result in impacts that outweigh benefits to the public.
The Buena Market can be characterized as a full-service Neighborhood
Grocery Store, as generally defined in the City's Development Code, in
that is sells fresh fruit, vegetables meat and fresh fish, and has food
prepared on-site. Thus, the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits under
the new ABC Type -21 (Off -Sale General) license will serve as an
ancillary component of Buena Market as a Neighborhood Grocery Store,
as opposed to a liquor store which principally involves the business of
selling alcoholic beverages. Additionally, there were no alcohol-related
incidents at the subject property or immediate vicinity. Therefore, the
application for Buena Market does comply with the abovementioned
General Plan policies.
Resolution No. 2019-182
