Since then <br />several permits have been issued for interior and exterior tenant improvements. In the 1970s and <br />1980s, the subject building was occupied by child welfare offices. In 1994, Northgate Gonzales <br />Market began occupying the site. The same year, Northgate Market received approval of a <br />conditional use permit for a Type 20 ABC license to allow the off-premise sale of beer and wine. <br />Item Information <br />Project Address and Council Ward 1623 W.
