Santee Liquor Licenses

Coordinate planning with engineering and building

Santee describes development review in Planning, Engineering, and Building phases and lists discretionary planning permits, including different use-permit categories. An alcohol project should identify the necessary phases before an opening schedule is set. Ask staff which permit and premises reviews apply to the actual business and address.

Review the purchase and operating plan

For an existing operation, compare the approved use and plans with the proposed changes. A different sales model, added customer area, or renovation should be identified early. Keep any use-permit question separate from the seller’s state license record so a transaction is not mistaken for approval of the new premises plan.

Questions for your Santee project

• Which development phases does this project require?
• Is a major, minor, or other planning permit appropriate?
• Do proposed premises changes need additional 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.
