Santa Fe Springs Liquor Licenses

Account for the city’s alcohol-sales CUP

Santa Fe Springs’ permit FAQ directs businesses interested in selling, storing, or manufacturing alcoholic beverages to apply for an Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit. That local requirement is separate from the state ABC license. Identify the activity clearly, including storage or manufacturing if those are part of the business.

Review the purchase and operating plan

The city also describes an Entertainment Conditional Use Permit for businesses with entertainment. Explain that activity separately from alcohol service when discussing your project. For an acquisition, request the existing alcohol approval and any entertainment conditions so the buyer understands the local operating limits.

Questions for your Santa Fe Springs project

• Does the proposal include sales, storage, or manufacturing?
• What existing Alcohol Sales CUP is available?
• Will entertainment need a separate local review?

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.
