Committee recommends approval of Luke’s Local liquor license for West Portal location
Summary
The Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee voted 3-0 to prepare a resolution finding that issuance of a Type 21 off‑sale general liquor license to Luke’s Local, Inc. at 1266 Ninth Avenue would serve the public convenience or necessity; the item will be forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors.
The Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously March 13 to prepare a resolution finding that issuing a Type 21 off‑sale general beer, wine and distilled spirits license for Luke’s Local, Inc., doing business as Luke’s Local at 1266 Ninth Avenue would serve the public convenience or necessity. The committee’s vote will forward the measure to the full Board of Supervisors for final consideration.
Committee Chair Supervisor Matt Dorsey opened the item and introduced Officer Froines of the San Francisco Police Department’s ABC liaison unit, who reported that the applicant had submitted a PCN report for the proposed off‑sale package store. Officer Froines told the committee there were zero letters of protest and zero letters of support, that the location is in Plot 909 A (a high‑crime area) and in Census Tract 302.02 (identified as a high concentration area), and that the Alcoholic Beverage Control liaison recommended approval with a single condition: the petitioner shall actively monitor the area under their control to prevent loitering adjacent to the licensed premises as depicted on ABC form 253.
No members of the public spoke on the item. Chair Dorsey moved that the clerk prepare a resolution making the PCN determination; Vice Chair Bridal Mahmood, Member Danny Sauter and Chair Dorsey voted aye on the roll call. The committee recorded three ayes and the motion passed. The clerk will prepare the resolution to be transmitted to the full board for a future vote.
The committee’s action is a procedural determination under the Board’s PCN practice; the final licensing decision remains with the full Board of Supervisors and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
