I believe that any new development in the area needs to take into consideration the needs of the surrounding community. This is a small town that already has numerous gas station/liquor stores available - including a gas station two blocks away.

Let us please not make El Sobrante memorable for being "that town of gas stations and liquor marts." Bring a bit of culture, create a space for community.

I worked there in the mid-70's. This is just another step in the WRONG direction for E.S.!

Please do not turn the Adachi property into a liquor store or service station. We have enough of those in the area already.

The presence of yet another mini-mart/gas station and/or liquor store in El Sobrante does nothing to improve the neighborhood, and takes away from local businesses to open and thrive in the premium location that is the Adachi Nursery site.

To Whom it May Concern:
Please DO NOT let this gas station project go through! We have more than plenty gas stations in our small community already! The garden store added soul and unique local flavor; this is what is needed in replacement as well. This, as well as the following:
It has come to the attention of the undersigned El Sobrante Valley residents that a pending buyer of the Adachi Nursery intends to redevelop the property for a SERVICE STATION AND LIQUOR STORE. By adding our names to this petition we are expressing our opposition to such a project for the following reasons:
1. A liquor store at the Valley View/Sobrante Avenue Adachi site would violate Section 82.38.604 of the Contra Costa County Zoning Ordinance which states: “ A new alcoholic beverage sales commercial activity is not permitted within four hundred feet of any public or private accredited school (in this case Valley Christian School) or an alcohol or other drug abuse recovery to treatment facility (in this case the meeting place of Alcoholics Anonymous).
2. We need businesses that fulfill the design principles set forth in the Downtown El Sobrante Planned Unit Development P-1 Zoning and Design Guidelines that apply to the Adachi property. These are:
- Preserve, enhance and capture El Sobrante’s small, suburban to rural character;
- Provide visual continuity along street frontages;
- Encourage community interaction and pedestrian activities through design;
- Promote non-auto transportation such as walking, bicycling and public transportation; and,
- Respect and enhance El Sobrante’s natural environment.
A typical service station/commercial retail store would just be more of the same and does not accomplish the El Sobrante Valley community these principles envision.
We therefore intend to take further action to stop this development if the proponent pursues its approval through the County-required Conditional Use Permit process.

Keep that trash out of our town. There's already one 100 yards away, near Starbucks. We don't need another one.

There are many services and businesses that are lacking in El Sobrante, liquor stores, bars & gas stations are not lacking. Please consider alternative uses. Particularly since Lucky stores relocated there has been a lack of good quality food stores. A produce store would particularly be a welcome addition in this location.
