A RESOLUTION OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL
DENYING UP83-72 TO ALLOW THE SALE OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FROM A GASOLINE SERVICE
STATION LOCATED AT 1125 LINCOLN AVENUE
WHEREAS, in August 1983 a use permit application was
filed requesting alcoholic beverage sales from a gasoline service
station; and
WHEREAS, on September 7, 1983, the Zoning Administrator
reviewed the use permit, denying the request because of the long-
standing City practice of discouraging a mixture of such uses;
and
WHEREAS, an appeal was filed and reviewed by the
Planning Commission on November 15, 1983, the Planning Commission
voted (7-0) to refer the matter to the City Council to review the
long-standing City practice of mixing sales of vehicle fuels with
alcoholic beverages and to consider the use permit; and
WHEREAS, on January 3, 1984, the City Council reviewed
UP83-72 and made the following finding:
Sales of convenience goods including alcohol on the
subject site will under the circumstances of the particular case
be detrimental on the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and
general welfare of persons in the neighborhood and the general
welfare of the City, because of the following reasons:
1) The mixture of such uses at this location could
increase the incidence of drinking and driving;
2) There are surrounding residential uses that would
have to bear the noise and traffic effects of this use intensi-
fication;
3) There are other liquor stores within reasonable dis-
tance of this service station (Colonial Liquors on Tamalpais
Avenue and Frank's Mini -Mart on Lincoln Avenue) that provide beer
and wine sales;
4) Approval of the use permit would be precedent setting
and it is likely that the City would receive numerous applications
from other existing service stations; and

RESOLUTION NO. 6 719
5) Other use permits involving the mixed sale of
alcoholic beverages with vehicle fuel at other locations have been
denied in the past based on long-standing City practice.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
denies UP83-72, a use permit, for the sale of alcoholic beverages
from the gasoline/service station at 1125 Lincoln Avenue.
