Upgrade of ABC license type at existing restaurant (Case No. 2505-20)

The City of Long Beach is planning to process a conditional use permit and local coastal development permit to support an existing restaurant’s request to upgrade its California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control license from Type 41 to Type 47, allowing the sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine on-premises. This upgrade is tied to the restaurant’s current operations at its location in Long Beach and requires review under local land use and coastal regulations due to its proximity to the coastline. The permit application is being managed under Case No. 2505-20 and is part of an anticipated regulatory action with a posted forecast date of June 15, 2026. The primary point of contact is Miguel Samayoa, City Planner, who can be reached at the provided phone number and email, while the applicant, HJM Sunrise Plaza LLC operating as Zarape Cocina & Cantina, is represented by Mostafa Mozher. The project site is within Long Beach, California, and the approval process will involve compliance with state coastal development requirements and conditional use standards specific to the city’s jurisdiction.
