Project Feasibility Reports

Our team of land use experts will provide guidance and identify all possible issues before our clients commit to a site and pursue a location which may potentially not be approved for their operational purposes.

Conditional Use Permits & Conditional Use Beverage (CUP/CUB)

ABCliquorlicense.com will work collectively with our clients and city/county agencies to effectively and successfully issue any CUP/CUB permits for the desired operation. The following steps will be taken:

  • Facilitating, coordinating, and garnering support from neighbors, business, and business owners adjacent to the project
  • Representation at the Public Hearings & Neighborhood Councils – this includes contacting local council members and contacting appropriate police departments
  • Communicate with the assigned city planners to formulate list of conditions that are acceptable to our clients
  • Finalize the issuance of the “Letter of Determination” to have the CUP become effective

Plan Approvals

Our land use experts will prepare and submit the required application per the existing CUP which is generally stipulated as one of the condition of approval.

Code Compliance Unit & CUP Effectuation

For CUPs within the City of Los Angeles will need to go through an effectuation process with the City Planning Department in order for the Department of ABC to finalize either the issuance or transfer of the license.
