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.
