Club Center Drive to 1099 E. Hospitality Lane. Costoo Wholesale ('Costoo')sells alcoholic beverages for off sale consumption at its current San Bernardino warehouse location. Costoo has a history of service to many California communities and would continue to operate in the same manner it always has. The community has been accustomed to the services provided by the current San Bernardino warehouse and Costoo only seeks to ensure the same level of amenities consistent with our other location. Costco's request to sell alcoholic beverages for off sale consumption will not jeopardize, endanger or otherwise constitute a menace to public health, safety or general welfare. The approval for this use should not create any significant detrimental impact on the surrounding community. We do not believe it will hinder the achievement of the community development goals, nor will it negatively affect the character or development of the immediate neighborhood. We respectfully request the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control find in support of Public Convenience and Necessity for the relocation of the San Bernardino warehouse and determine that such finding will be served by the issuance of the license.
