Q1: Why
protest beer and wine license applications?
A1: Under
the
ABC's rules, only one "on sale" (restaurant) license is
supposed to be
allowed for each (approx.) 1000 residents. Hermosa
Beach is
officially "overconcentrated" with licenses - more than
threefold. When an applicant seeks to add a brand
new license
(either beer & wine or hard liquor) which will add
to that
overconcentration, they must convince the ABC that
licensing the new
premises will serve the "public convenience or
necessity" (PCN).
However, if the applicant is changing an existing beer
and wine license to hard
liquor, that change will not add to the overconcentration of
licenses, so they do not have to meet the PCN
requirement.
