RE: Request for Determination of Public Convenience & Necessity for Type 20 and Type
42 ABC Licenses for "De Oliva" @1440 Burlingame Avenue, Burlingame. CA 94010
Dear Mr. Hurin,
My husband, Mohammad Reza Sohirad, and I, Seyedeh Homa Ijadi, are the owners of De Oliva
store at the above address, We are in the process of filling out an ABC application for the sales
and service of Beer & Wine at our above listed store. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control will require from the City of Burlingame to make a determination of Public Convenience &
Necessity for the premises, under Sec. 23958A of the Business & Profession Code, before they
can approve our application.
We are respectfully requesting that the City of Burlingame after reviewing our application,
determine that a type 42 and a type 20 license at our store will serve Public Convenience and
Necessity. The type 42 License is an On Sale Beer & Wine Public Premises License,
(21 & Over only) and the type 20 License is an Off Sale Beer & Wine License for purchases to
take away from the premises. Please see below the way we wish to utilize these licenses and
how they will help to improve our business operation.
Type 42 License: On Sale Privilege of Beer & Wine, would allow us to utilize the back room of
our store as a designated area for wine tastings (see diagram). This area would be posted for
21 and over only as required by State Law and would be for our customers who wish to sample
various; high end wines that we wish to carry. The customers would then be able to make an
informed determination of wines they wish to add to their gift baskets or for purchases to be
made and enjoyed at home. This experience will allow our customer to sample our fine wine
selection and to make a decision based on their personal taste and experience prior to
selecting wines they wish to purchase.
Type 20 License: Off -Sale Beer & Wine License, which permits the sale of beverages to be
sold for consumption away from the premises. This license would allow the customer to then
purchase the wines they have selected to utilize for their enjoyment at their homes, gift baskets
or gifts to friends. We would request this license so that we can then have the required license
to sell the wine purchased as gifts or in gift baskets made to order per the request of our
customer.
We have been owner operators of our store since 2010 and have been so grateful to be part of
the City of Burlingame and the community. Our location, is on the main downtown shopping
district of Burlingame Avenue and is located next to numerous shops and restaurants. Our
business is very unique to the avenue as we are a specialty type store. We are a small family
operated business and also work full time at our store. Our store offers the freshest organic olive
oils, balsamic vinegar and related food items to compliment the wonderful gift baskets and
purchases made by our customers. We specialize in bringing in and providing the freshest
product to our customers and have received praise for our integrity of product and service to our
community. We have enjoyed being part of this community and are attempting to upgrade our
business by providing more products and items so that we will increase our customer base.
Although the addition of these licenses will be incidental to the overall business that we now
have, we feel the approval of the above licenses for our store will help us to be more financially
competitive with other like type stores in the community. In addition, our customers frequently
ask to add special wines to their gift baskets or to compliment their meals at home. We feel that
these improvements will increase our business which will in tum be financially beneficial to us,
and to the city by the taxes we now pay and the increased anticipated revenue.
Our business has received such positive reviews from our customer base and also from online
reviews. We feel that the approval and issuance of the two requested licenses will not be
detrimental to the health and welfare of our surrounding neighbors. The City of Burlingame does
not maintain crime statistics, however, we feel confident that the type of business operation that
we run will not add or increase police activity. We will continue to be good neighbors and have
always maintained a positive impact on our surrounding neighbors. Our hours of operation and
our family type business will continue to be an asset to the community.
In conclusion, we are very responsible business owners and know that we will be more
financially secure in our business by the addition of the type 42 and type 20 licenses. This will
help to increase the profits for our business and in tum provide a much requested service to our
customer base. We understand the Rules & Regulations of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and
we would like the City to know that we will attend the ABC LEAD Training Class that is offered
by the ABC. This is not a mandatory class, but we feel that it is very important to know the laws
regarding the sale and service of alcoholic beverages, checking of ID's, and therefore feel we
must attend.
Based on all of the above, we feel that we are in compliance and fall within the pervue of
Sec 23958.4 of the Business & Profession Code. We hope that the City of Burlingames findings
will be favorable so that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will also approve
issuance of the applied for licenses. Please see the attached diagrams that will indicate the area
that would be utilized for the type 42 and type 20 licenses, If you have further questions or need
further documents, please do not hesitate to call me, I can be reached at (408) 644-5927.
Sincerely,
Homa Ijade & Mohammad Reza

GENERAL
-Section 23790 of the Business and Professions Code says
that ABCmay not issue a retail license contrary to a valid
zoning ordinance. This form will help us determine whether
your proposed business is properly zoned for alcoholic
beverage sales.
•A conditional use permit (CUP) (Item 11) is a special
zoning permit granted after an individual review of proposed
land -use has been made. CUP's are used in situations where
the proposed use may create hardships or hazards to neighbors
and other community members who are likely to be affected
by the proposed use. The ABC district office will not make a
final recommendation on your license application until after
the local CUP review process has been completed. If the local
government denies the CUP, ABC must deny your license
application.
23790. Zoning ordinances. No retail license shalt be
issued for any premises which are located in any territory
where the exercise of the rights and privileges conferred by
the license is contrary to avalid zoning ordinance of any
USE ONLY
tMATiON
Premises which had been used in the exercise of those
rights and privileges at a time prior to the effective date of
the zoning ordinance may continue operation under the
following conditions:
(a) The premises retain the same type of retail liquor
license within a license classification.
(b) The licensed premises are operated continuously
without substantial change in mode or character of
operation.
For purposes of this subdivision, a break in continuous
operation does not include:
(1) A closure for not more than 30 days for purposes of
repair, if that repair does not change the nature of the
licensed premises and does not increase the square footage
of the business used for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
(2) The closure for restoration of premises rendered totally
or partially inaccessible by an act of God or a toxic
accident, if the restoration does not increase the square
footage of the business used for the sale of alcoholic
beverages.
BURLINGAME POLICE DEPARTMENT
Memorandum
To: William Meeker, Community Development Director
From: Eric Wollman, Police Chief
Subject: Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity for 1440 Burlingame Ave
(Del' Oliva)
Date: November 5, 2014
Del' Oliva, a small, independently run, specialty store that sells fresh organic olive oils, balsamic
vinegar, and related food items, requests approval of a Finding of Public Convenience and
Necessity (FOPCN) to allow on-site consumption and off-site sales of beer and wine (License
Type 42 and 20).
The Alcohol Beverage Control Board (ABC) enforces the licensing of alcoholic retailers
regulated by State Law under Section 23958 of the Business and Professional Code. ABC will
deny any application if issuance of the license will create a law enforcement problem or if
issuance will result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses.
Del' Oliva is currently located in Census Tract #6055, which roughly consists of downtown
Burlingame and its surrounding area. There are currently 53 total licenses in this Census Tract
(48 on -sale licenses and 5 off -sale licenses).
The phrase "public convenience and necessity" is not defined in either the Alcohol Beverage
Control Act provisions of the State Business and Professions Code or in the ABC guidelines.
Other than the number and location of licensed alcohol premises, the Burlingame Police
Department used the following factors to determine the level of support for a finding of "public
convenience and necessity":
Del' Oliva has operated in this area for over 4 years with no police related calls for
service;
Their on-site consumption will be limited to a small, separate section of their retail space
and limited to wine tasting only;
Their off-site sales will be limited to gift baskets which include a bottle(s) of wine;
Del' Oliva is located in the Downtown Burlingame Business District with no parks,
schools, or residential housing in the area.
BPD's conclusion is as follows:
Del' Oliva, is a small, independently run, specialty store that sells fresh organic olive oils,
balsamic vinegar, and related food items. They have provided this service to the community for
over 4 years without any negative impact on the community. Their on-site consumption will be
limited to a small, separate section of their retail space and limited to wine tasting only. Their
off-site sales will be limited to the sale of gift baskets which include a bottle or bottles of wine.
It does not appear as if their request will create a law enforcement problem in that area. The
police department has no reason to deny the request; however, we recommend that any approval
of their transfer request be subject to the following conditions:
Sales, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted only between
the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. on Sundays.
No noise shall be audible beyond the area under the control of the licensee(s) as defined
on the ABC -257.
The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining free of litter the area adjacent to the
premises over which they have control.
Graffiti shall be removed from the premises and all parking lots under the control of the
licensee within seventy-two (72) hours of application. If the graffiti occurs on a Friday or
weekend day, or on a holiday, the licensee shall remove the graffiti within seventy-two
(72) hours following the beginning of the next weekday.
The interior lighting maintained therein shall be sufficient to make easily discernible the
appearance and conduct of all persons and patrons in that portion of the premises where
alcoholic beverages are sold, served, delivered or consumed.
The exterior of the premises shall be equipped with lighting of sufficient power to
illuminate and make easily discernible the appearance and conduct of all persons on or
about the premises. Additionally, the position of such lighting shall not disturb the
normal privacy and use of any neighboring residences.
Loitering (loitering is defined as "to stand idly about; linger aimlessly without lawful
business") is prohibited on any sidewalks or property adjacent to the licensed premises
under the control of the licensee as depicted on the ABC -257.
No person under the age of 21 shall sell or deliver alcoholic beverages.
The sale of distilled spirits in sizes smaller than 200 ml is strictly prohibited.
No malt beverage shall be sold with an alcoholic content great than 5.7% by volume or in
quantities of 16 oz. or greater.
No wine shall be sold with an alcoholic content of great than 15% by volume except for
"Dinner Wines" which have been aged two years or more and maintained in corded
bottles.
Wine shall not be sold in bottles or containers smaller than 750 ml.
Petitioner shall not make structural changes in the premises interior without prior written
approval from the Department.
