PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THAT THE

ISSUANCE OF AN ON-SALE LIQUOR LICENSE (TYPE 42)
AT THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 461
NORTH PALM CANYON DRIVE, WITHIN CENSUS TRACT
NO. 446.06.
THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:
A. Las Palmas Brewing, LLC, ("Applicant") has applied for a California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) for a Type 42 (On-Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol license
associated with the proposed beer and wine lounge space located within a 1,750-square
foot commercial building at 461 North Palm Canyon Drive, Census Tract No. 446.06,
Zone CBD, APN 513-082-006, Case 5.1457 PCN.
B. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverages and Control (ABC) has
determined that there are one hundred seven (107) on-sale liquor licenses issued within
this Census tract while only two (2) such licenses would be allowed based on the
population in the County in which the Applicant's premise is located.
C. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverages and Control (ABC) have
determined that there is an "undue concentration" of alcohol-related licenses in the
Census Tract No. 446.06.
D. Pursuant to Section 23958.4(b)(2) of the State of California Business and
Professions Code, the City Council may determine the public convenience or necessity
would be served by the issuance of the requested license.
E. On December 12, 2018, the Planning Commission approved a related Conditional
Use Permit for the proposed beer and wine lounge at 461 North Palm Canyon Drive.
F. The City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the meeting on the project, including, but not limited to, the
staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.
G. The business will be located in Census Tract No. 446.06 within the Central
Business District land use designation of the General Plan. The General Plan states the
intended use of the CBD designation allows for a "mix of commercial, residential, and
office uses at a higher concentration, density, and intensity than in other areas of the City.
The CBD serves as the main activity center and cultural core of the community... and
uses such as grocery stores, hardware stores, and convenience or pharmacy stores that
provide services to the Downtown residential population is encouraged." Therefore, the
operation of a cocktail lounge and tap room selling locally brewed beer products will be
consistent with the intent of the General Plan Land Use Element for the site and its vicinity.

H. Palm Canyon Drive is the major commercial corridor in Census Tract Map No.
446.06. The proposed location will offer a lounge space that provides locally brewed
beers and activate the street front with a new patio space. With the location in the Central
Business District, the proposed use would add to the lively mix of uses along Palm
Canyon Drive through the sale and tasting of locally brewed beer products, which is
consistent with land uses observed in the area.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RESOLVES:
SECTION 1. That the findings and determinations reflected above are true and
correct, and are incorporated by this reference herein as the cause and foundation for the
action taken by and through this Resolution.
SECTION 2. That the public convenience would be served by the issuance of a
Type 42 (On-Sale Beer and Wine — Public Premises) liquor license located at 461 North
