Sweet Destination Environmental Assessment No. 2026-07 for Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2025-04

Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2025-04 and Environmental Assessment No. 2026-07 authorize the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption at Sweet Destination, a 2,600 square-foot specialty candy and gift shop located at 1115 G Street, Reedley, California. The business is seeking a Type 21 ABC License (Off-Sales General) to include these alcoholic beverages in gift baskets. The project is consistent with the 2030 General Plan Community Commercial Planned Land Use and the CC zoning district. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from environmental review as a Class 32 Infill Development Project, as it occurs on a site of less than five acres and will not result in significant environmental impacts. Operational requirements specify that alcohol sales must occur during existing business hours from 6 am to 8 pm, six days a week. To ensure security and compliance, alcohol must be stored in a locked display and behind a locked door in a cold storage room, and the establishment must install an interior and exterior security camera system. No exterior changes to the building or site plan are proposed. The application is managed by the City of Reedley, with Laura Friesen serving as the Assistant Planner and Crystal Lopez Irwin as the owner.
