Finding of public convenience or necessity for a new Type 47 ABC license for Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel (File No. 00960594-PABC)

The City of Irvine is processing a regulatory determination for a Type 47 On-Sale General alcoholic beverage control license for Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel located at 517 Spectrum Center Drive in Irvine, California. This action involves a Finding of Public Convenience or Necessity required by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, with no new construction or physical alterations to the facility. The proposed use is classified as exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, Class 1, as it involves the administrative issuance of a license at an existing establishment without significant environmental impact. The application was submitted by Funlab USA Operations LLC through its representative, Pirzadeh & Associates, and the approval decision was made on September 10, 2025, with the public notice posted on September 18, 2025. There is no competitive bidding, evaluation criteria, pricing, or contractual value associated with this action, as it is a ministerial licensing process governed by state beverage control regulations and local zoning authority. The administrative process is overseen by the City of Irvine Community Development Department, with Krysta Christensen, Assistant Planner, serving as the primary point of contact and the Zoning Administrator as the approving authority. No formal contract type, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, payment schedules, accounting codes, or federal contracting mechanisms apply, as this is not a procurement but a local regulatory permitting action. No representations, certifications, socioeconomic status declarations, or unique entity identifiers were required or provided, and no invoicing, inspection protocols, delivery terms, or performance milestones are defined beyond the issuance of the license. All supporting documentation is administrative, centered on the CEQA exemption notice and the application for licensure, with submissions directed to the City’s PO Box in Irvine and no electronic portal or formal submission standards specified. The entire process is confined to state and local regulatory compliance without federal contractual obligations, financial terms, or procurement infrastructure.
