Item No. 1 (continued) Hugh Cunningham, real estate representative for ARCO Petroleum Products, said that the space to be provided for the proposed beer and wine products will occupy only about 15% of the floor space, and they are expected to be responsible for approximately 25% of sales income. Mr. Cunningham argued that the "CP" District zone allows the Zoning Administrator to approve the sale of alcoholic beverages there and that the new state law prevents the City from prohibiting such sales as recommended by the Zoning Administrator. He referred to the police record for the past two years at the ARCO station at Woodside Road and Hudson, stating it suggests a good operation. Peter Ales, 291 G Street, asked what community benefits ARCO provides. Mr. Cunningham said that the ARCO Foundatioin offers funds to non - profit and non - public agencies for certain activities and the funds are available by application which must be reviewed. Judy Buchan, 1126 Allerton, said that additional places to purchase liquor in the subject neighborhood are not needed, stating that people buy it and take it in bags for drinking in nearby Mezes Park. She urged the appeal be denied. Vice Mayor Chandler invited anyone else present who wished to speak to do so. No one else wished to speak. M /S: Britschgi /Stangel to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously by voice vote and the public hearing closed at 7:55 p.m. M /S: Bury / Britschgi to deny the appeal by ARCO Petroleum Products from the decision of the Zoning Administrator in connection with approval of a Use permit to allow a 24 -hour mini - market in conjunction with a gasoline service station to attach the condition that beer and wine may not be sold at 504 Whipple Avenue, the following findings having been made: 1) that the retail sale of beer and wine for offsite consumption at this particular site is not permitted in the zoning district within which the site is located; 2) that a service station with a convenience retail outlet at the same intersection does not sell beer and wine for offsite consumption and this denial would be consistent with that site's operations; 3) that a denial of beer and wine sales at this site is not inconsis- tent with Business and Professions Code Section 23790.5 which is added by the new chapter; and 4) that beer and wine sales for offsite consumption at a major entry to Redwood City is not promotive of the purpose of the "CP" Zoning District regulations and detracts from "pleasant appearance" specified in Section 16.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, as a purpose of the CP Zoning District. Carried unanimously by roll call vote. MINUTE ORDER NO. 87 -164 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MINUTE BOOK NO. 47 Reg.Mtg.
