station right up the street, which has a full time convenience store. We haven't had any <br />problems to date. She has been in business for three years now. <br />Greenwell: So, it's not like a high school is next door. Elementary kids are not going to <br />come in and buy a bottle of liquor. <br />Takase: What the law requires of us is that when there is a school located within 500 feet <br />of a licensee then that changes the protest dynamics. Where it says 50 percent for most <br />businesses when they're within 500 feet, that percentage drops to 40 percent. That's the <br />difference in the law regarding schools. I think there is a common misconception that a <br />lot of people think if you're within 500 feet there should be no liquor license. But that's not <br />the law that was passed by the Legislature. <br />Takaba: Does that answer your question? <br />Greenwell: I'm good. <br />Takaba: David's good, so we can move on. Do we have any public testimony on this <br />application? <br />There was no reply from the public. <br />Takase: I have a question. How many employees do you have? <br />De La Cruz: Just me and one more girl. She'll come for the next test. It's a small <br />business, very small. <br />Takase: The owner is Jennifer Salinas. <br />De La Cruz: Yes. Jennifer Salinas is my cousin, she's now in Mexico. This business is <br />for her, too. She is a nurse. <br />Takase: She's a nurse? I noticed she didn't list any employment history. Is she planning <br />to come here? <br />De La Cruz: Yes. She plans to come here in April. She came two months ago to start <br />the application, the IRS and everything. <br />Takase: She doesn't plan on moving here, though? <br />De La Cruz: Maybe. The plan is when she finishes school put the business under my <br />name, transfer the business to me. <br />Takase: Thank you. <br />Takaba: Any other questions? <br />DECEMBER 7, 2017 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES <br />27 <br />
