CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL OF opened the public hearing.
PLANNING COMMISSION'S
DECISION DENYING PERMISSION Referring to his written report, Director of Planning
TO SELL PACKAGED BEER AND Peterson explained that in November 1977, the Planning
WINE AT TWO SERVICE STATIONS Commission granted two conditional use permits to Atlantic
Richfield Company allowing the Sale of previously prepared
foods, soft drinks and sundries at two service stations
located at Broadway and "E" Street and Third Avenue and
"L" Street. One condition of approval was that the food
merchandise not include the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Planning Commission Atlantic Richfield is requesting the appeal of this condition
recommendation to allow the sale of packaged beer and wine. The Planning
Commission denied the request based on their finding that
the sale of beer and wine is not related to the needs of
motorists and not necessary or desirable to serve the needs
of the neighborhood.
Staff recommendation Mr. Peterson added that it was the staff's feeling that the
sale of beer and wine at a service station is inappropriate;
however, from a land use planning standpoint, there is no
basis for recommending denial.
Sam Blick, Attorney Mr. Blick, representing Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Snaith, the
Higgs, Fletcher & Mack service station operators, stated that their appeal is.
San Diego nothing unique - every city in the County that has a mini-
mart in their service stations does sell beer and wine. In
these stations, they have signs indicating the sale of these
beverages; however, in Chula Vista, there will be no signs
and no additional construction to house these products. Mr.
Blick asked that the appeal be granted subject to the right
of review in six months.
Charles Snaith Mr. Snaith, operator of the service station at Third and
580 First Avenue "L" Street, said his request to sell beer and wine was
Chula Vista strictly a financial one ~ with the cutback in gas, it is
becoming difficult ~q operate the station.
Frank Rodriguez Mr. Rodriguez stated the added income from the sale of the
7S4 Cedar Avenue alcoholic beverages would supplement his badly-needed income
Chula Vista now that the gas shortage is evident. He assured the CounciZ
that there would be no problems with this sale; if problems
arose in the future, he would personally close down the
sale of these beverages.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for of against, the
hearing was declared closed.
Council discussion Councilman Egdahl spoke against the appeal indicating the
Council should not encourage the sale of these beverages to
someone getting behind the wheel of an automobile; Councilma
Scott felt the same would hold true if the driver stopped at
a 7/11 Store; Mayor Hyde commented that in view of no traffi
or parking problems, he would go along with the request.
Motion to grant appeal It was moved by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman
Scott that the appeal be granted subject to the conditions
as stated in the agenda statement (staff,,.and Planning
Commission conditions) and that a review of the operations
of these two locations be made in 6 months,
Motion carried The motion carried by a vote of 4-1 with Councilman
Egdahl voting "no,"

FOR CETA FUNDS Employment and Training Conso~tium CRETC) Policy which

responsibility for the expenditure of CETAfunds. The

permanent one sometime in the future.
