Summary
The committee voted 3-0 to forward a resolution to the full Board recommending approval of a Type 20 off‑sale beer‑and‑wine license transfer to DP and DK Investments (doing business as Cal’s Neighborhood Market) at 1401 19th Avenue, subject to ALU conditions including hours limits and property‑maintenance responsibilities.
The Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee voted April 9 to forward a resolution to the full Board of Supervisors recommending approval of a Type 20 off‑sale beer‑and‑wine license transfer to DP and DK Investments Inc., doing business as Cal’s Neighborhood Market, at 1401 19th Avenue. Chair Rafael Mandelmann moved to send the resolution with a positive recommendation; the committee recorded a 3‑0 vote.
ALU reported there were four letters of protest and zero letters of support for the transfer, and described the site as located in Plot 916 (a low‑crime area) within a Census Tract ALU characterized as high saturation. ALU recommended approval with conditions, including restricting sales hours to 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., active monitoring to prevent loitering, and responsibility for keeping adjacent property free of litter. ALU’s presentation noted the applicant had agreed to those conditions as of April 1.
Sabrina Shaghi (transcript also spells Shockey), representing the project sponsor and speaking for the owners through counsel Ruben, Junius and Rose, said the Chevron gas station at the site has operated for decades and that the owners propose to expand the small food mart into the existing building to provide groceries, fresh coffee, ready‑made foods and beer and wine. She told the committee 37 neighbors submitted petitions or letters in support, said the Planning Commission unanimously approved the project on consent in December, and outlined owner measures including ABC training for employees, continuous site monitoring with security cameras, and a policy of no beer or wine placed near the entrance.
No members of the public called in to speak. Chair Mandelmann said Supervisor Marr is not opposed to forwarding the item. The clerk recorded Vice Chair Stephanie: aye; Member Walton: aye; and Chair Mandelmann: aye. The committee’s action forwards the recommendation to the full Board; it does not itself transfer the license.
