San Dimas Liquor Licenses

Use the city’s CUP checklist for the proposed use

San Dimas publishes a Conditional Use Permit checklist with information required for a CUP application. Its planning guidance explains that conditional uses are designated by zoning district and reviewed for their characteristics or impacts. Ask which classification applies to your proposed alcohol operation before preparing a submission.

Review the purchase and operating plan

A focused project description should explain sales for on-site or take-home consumption, food service, hours, and any entertainment. Compare that description with the seller’s permit if acquiring an existing business. The checklist should describe the buyer’s actual project rather than repeat a generic liquor-license summary.

Questions for your San Dimas project

• What zoning district and use classification apply?
• Which items does the CUP checklist require?
• Do the seller’s conditions cover the buyer’s intended activities?

Match the state license to the business

California ABC issues the state license. Type 41 is for beer-and-wine eating places; Type 47 is for general eating places. Type 48 is for general public premises, where food service is not required and minors generally cannot enter and remain. Off-sale categories address take-home sales. Confirm the appropriate category and conditions for your operation.
