Conditional Use Permit No. CU-25-14The City of Buena Park is considering a conditional use permit to allow the sale of beer and wine at Mindeulle, an existing 851-square-foot restaurant, under an Alcoholic Beverage Control Type 41 license for on-sale beer and wine at an eating place. The request is part of a broader effort to enhance the dining experience and support the local business community by expanding alcohol service options within the premises. The applicant, Alex Woo, represents the property owners Asim and Mumtaz Chagani in seeking approval for this change, which would benefit residents and patrons of the area by providing expanded beverage choices in a regulated, food-focused establishment. The permit review is being managed by the City’s Community and Economic Development Department, with key contacts including Community and Economic Development Director Matt Foulkes and Associate Planner Joshua Alvarez. The proposal is publicly accessible through the California Environmental Quality Act database, and the posted date indicates the process is anticipated to begin in July 2026, suggesting a proactive planning phase ahead of any potential application submission. No set-aside or federal procurement classifications apply, as this is a local land use matter governed by municipal zoning and alcohol licensing authority, focused solely on ensuring compliance with city code and community standards for alcohol service in a restaurant setting.

Amended Tidelands Use and Occupancy Permit to Chula Vista Water Sports at Chula Vista Bayside ParkThe Chula Vista Water Sports permit is being amended to expand its operations at Chula Vista Bayside Park, adding the sale of café concessions to its existing water sport equipment rental and storage activities. The original 272 square foot space will now include adjacent patio area open to the public for food and beverage sales, though the patio remains non-exclusive. The amended use permits the sale of non-alcoholic beverages, ice cream, frozen treats, snacks, sandwiches, coffee, desserts, t-shirts, hats, and other branded merchandise, along with bait and fishing equipment, with no other uses allowed without written approval from the District’s Executive Director. New wall-mounted signage displaying the business name will be installed, adhering to the District’s tenant signage guidelines. The tenant is fully responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including those governing stormwater, hazardous materials, and food service operations. The amended Tidelands Use and Occupancy Permit will have a term of approximately four years and may be terminated by either the District or the tenant at any time with thirty days’ written notice, without cause. The permit does not establish exclusive rights to the patio space, which remains publicly accessible. All activities must remain confined to the described uses, and no expansion or alteration beyond the approved scope is permitted without explicit authorization. The project is administered by the San Diego Unified Port District, with primary contact information provided for both the tenant and district personnel, and is listed under a forecast posting effective July 1, 2026.
