Conditional Use Permit 2025-023 — off-sale alcohol license (Clink Liquors)
Salinas
Description
The applicant appealed the Planning Commission's denial of a Type 21 off-sale alcohol license for a proposed 2,618-square-foot convenience store. The council voted 7-0 to uphold the denial, citing undue concentration of licenses, proximity to a school, and DUI concerns.
Impact summary
The City Council denied it on Jan 27, 2026.
The store will not be able to sell beer, wine, or spirits; the census tract remains two licenses over its state-allowed cap of five.
