10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 United States decennial census (2010). Therefore, the ratio of off -sale alcohol licenses to population in Census Tract 66.01 is 0.07%. The County of San Bernardino has seven hundred and thirty-nine (739) active off -sale alcohol licenses (Type 21) according to ABC (State of California Alcoholic Beverage Control Report dated June 30, 2012). The County of San Bernardino has a current population of 2,063,919 based on the most recent annual population estimate for California counties published by the Population Research Unit of the Department of Finance. Therefore, the ratio of off -sale alcohol licenses to population in the County of San Bernardino is 0.04%. Since the ratio of off -sale alcohol licenses (Type 21) in Census Tract 66.01 to population in Census Tract 66.01 exceeds the ratio of off -sale retail licenses (Type 21) in the County of San Bernardino to population in the County, there is an undue concentration. The proposed Project does not encourage public convenience. 1. The Project consists of a newly constructed 2,522 sf single story retail building on a parcel zoned C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) with no other commercial uses on the parcel containing the proposed Project. Unlike other projects that the City has recently approved in a multi - tenant setting, the proposed Project is limited to the sale of food and sundry items in a single -story retail building. As the Project is currently proposed, City residents cannot avail themselves of the breadth of readily available products (other than food and sundry items) and services in one location and will have to travel to other locations to purchase these products or services. 2. As a result of the reasons stated in "1" above and elsewhere in the record, the public convenience is not served by the issuance of an off - sale alcohol license. The proposed Project is not necessary. 1. There are ample venues within Census Tract 66.01 from which alcoholic beverages may be purchased. a. A liquor store with a Type 21 license currently operates at 871 N. Rancho Avenue (License No. 257649). b. A liquor store with a Type 21 license currently operates at 457 West Valley Boulevard (License No. 297000). C. A convenience store with a Type 21 license currently operates at 1091 West Valley Boulevard (License No. 394864). 2. As a result of the reasons stated in "1" above and elsewhere in the record, it is not necessary to permit the issuance of an additional off -sale alcohol license.
