LACAN thanks Mr. Grobaty

Dear Mr. Grobaty,

Thank you for your coverage of the TACO BEACH issues in the Los Altos Center Adjacent Neighborhoods.

Just for the record, Taco Beach does not operate in Belmont Shores, that is Taco SURF. The Taco Beach location in downtown did use to be a Taco Surf, but was sold to Mr. Vance. who uses the name TACO BEACH.

The 3 Taco BEACH locations are at the new Long Beach Airport terminal, downtown and now at Los Altos.

In the long process for allowing the license at the Los Altos location, Mr. Vance during our neighborhood meeting and during the Planning Commission meeting, referred to wanting to make the Los Altos location as "exciting" as Simmzy's in the Shore. As you can see from the Google review below, Simmzy's is a "loud and crowded" eatery.

That type of establishment is incompatible with the location which the Los Altos location backs up to: single residential homes with bedrooms less than 50 ft from the establishment. The new Taco Beach is not in the Los Altos Center, but in a residential neighborhood without the "buffer" of an alley and large public parking lots that most of Belmont Shore has separating residents from businesses. Even with those buffers in the Shore, the residents continue to have problems. Our neighborhood was being proactive in addressing the issues and now have guaranteed safe guards.

Please refer to the LINKS below for further understanding.

LACAN
