The NCPC will update this page from time to time as we are notified of new applications to sell alcoholic beverages within beats 12Y and 13X. Here are some reference materials for citizens on alcoholic beverage licensing:
- Information for Citizens to Protest Against ABC Licenses
- Common ABC License Types and their Basic Privileges
- Non-Retail ABC License Types and their Basic Privileges
License requests are posted publicly for 30 days only, to allow the public to comment or object. After the 30 day period the license is either approved or rejected and no more comments may be filed. The NCPC will check from time to time to see whether a posted license application is still pending and remove those that have been approved.
We receive 2 items for each application, the application itself and the cover letter to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Sometimes these are included in a single document.
Nov. 22 ABC Memo (9 Julio Empanada Kitchen)
If you want to investigate an ABC license yourself, go to www.abc.ca.gov and click on the Licensing link on the front page, then choose License Lookup (LQS). You can query the system using the license number, the license address, the licensee name, or the business name.
Update 1/3/18: license address searches now fail unless the address is in all caps.
If you have questions for the city about a specific application, the contact information for the Alcoholic Beverage Action Team (ABAT) is in the ABC Letter document for each application.
Miscellaneous Applications
We very occasionally get applications for new businesses of other types. This area is used for those. These are city licenses and aren't listed on www.abc.ca.gov
No open miscellaneous applications as of 11/26/19.
