Motion carries. Item 19 Report from Police Recommendation to receive the application of Aldi for an original application of an ABC license at 4580 Atlantic Avenue. Determined that the application serves the public convenience and necessity. Submit a public notice of protest to ABC and direct City Manager to withdraw the protest if a conditional use permit is granted. District eight. Councilman Austin Yes, I am very excited about this new development. I'd like to welcome the very first Aldi to Long Beach. It'll be located in the big Knowles or just next door to the biggest we no shopping center. This is actually one of three new grocery stores coming to the eighth District this year. This conditional conditional use permit for this Aldi is scheduled to be heard before our planning commission this Thursday. So while the City Council must vote to protest the ABC license this evening due to a lack of a copy, the protest may be withdrawn very shortly if the CP is granted it. And so therefore I would ask for your approval of the staff recommendation. Thank you, Councilmember Mongo. I support the new development. Thank you. So any member of the public that wishes to address Council on item 19. Seeing None members cast your vote. Motion carries.
