CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2025-10: TYPE 47 LICENSE WITH A DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY AT A NEW RESTAURANT (KOY RESTAURANT & BAR)

The City of Brea has initiated a conditional use permit process for KOY Restaurant & Bar, a new 697 square foot establishment located at 441 South Associated Road, Unit B, in the Mixed-Use II Zone, seeking approval to sell and serve beer, wine, and distilled spirits on-site. The application, filed on August 28, 2025, and posted publicly on September 5, 2025 under permit number 2025-10, includes a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity as required under local regulations, with the project qualifying for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1 Categorical Exemption due to its nature as a minor alteration of an existing structure without expansion. The applicant, Son Mai of Grand Salon & Spa, Inc., is responsible for securing the Type 47 alcohol license and ensuring compliance with all zoning and operational requirements, while the City of Brea serves as the lead agency overseeing permitting and environmental compliance. Financial obligations related to the permit are limited to municipal and state environmental filing fees, including a $50 county documentary handling fee and an $850 CDFW fee, payable via cash, check, or credit to the Orange County Clerk-Recorder and California Department of Fish and Wildlife, respectively. No formal contract value, pricing structure, procurement type, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a local land use and licensing action rather than a federally funded or administered contract. There are no specified delivery schedules, packaging requirements, payment systems like WAWF or IPP, or federal contract administration roles such as COR or PCO. Key documentation submitted includes the Notice of Exemption and a No Effect Determination from CDFW, and all performance is expected to occur solely at the Brea location. The applicant is identified as the sole point of contact, with the City’s Assistant Planner, Cristal Nava, serving as the primary municipal liaison.
