Alcohol license overconcentration policy
Summary
The census tract already has 16 active beer-and-wine licenses, and there's no citywide policy on when there are 'too many.' Commissioner Li pushed for guidelines, but the City Attorney said any such effort needs City Council funding and would likely come back as a zoning amendment.

Impact analysis
A full citywide study of alcohol licenses would need City Council funding and would be a substantial staff effort.
Residents and future applicants would get clear, evenly applied rules instead of case-by-case judgment calls.
