Tokyo Central, Finding of Public Convenience for a Type 21 off-sale beer, wine, and distilled spirits license (File No. 00959176-PABC)

Tokyo Central is seeking a finding of public convenience and necessity from the City of Irvine to obtain a Type 21 alcoholic beverage license. This license will allow the existing supermarket located at 14120 Culver Drive, Irvine, California, to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption. The project is identified by file number 00959176-PABC and is being managed by Assistant Planner Adam Wong of the City of Irvine Community Development Department, with Jason Kho of AAA Liquor License Consulting serving as the applicant representative. The project has been granted a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, as it involves an existing facility with negligible or no expansion of use. This is a ministerial licensing action rather than a competitive procurement process; consequently, there are no federal contract clauses, pricing structures, or formal evaluation factors associated with the request. The primary objective is the regulatory authorization for off-premises alcohol sales under current operating conditions.
