City Council

10A. Public hearing to consider a timely-filed appeal (Case No. APPEAL-0080542025) of the Planning Commission’s determination (Case No. ITRP-0077932025) that off-premise alcoholic beverage sales for beer and wine cannot be considered an accessory use to a primary retail use within the Limited Local Commercial (L-LC) zone for the property located at 1988 Village Park Way. Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, pursuant to Section 15270 of the CEQA Guidelines, CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. Contact Person: Associate Planner Carr Recommended Action: Deny the appeal and adopt the draft City Council Resolution No. 2025-62 titled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Encinitas, California, Denying an Appeal Filed by R. Bruce Evans and Affirming the Planning Commission's Determination that the "Alcoholic Beverage, Sales-Off Premises" Land Use Cannot Be Considered as an Accessory Use to the Primary Retail Use in the Limited Local Commercial (LLC) Zone, for the Property Located at 1988 Village Park Way," affirming the Planning Commission's decision to adopt Resolution No. PC 2025-11 determining that off-premise alcoholic beverage sales of beer and wine cannot be considered an accessory use to a primary retail use within the Limited Local Commercial (L-LC) zone, for the property located at 1988 Village Park Way. 2025-08-13 Item 10A 7-11 Appeal
