Resolution No. 2018-xx <br />Page 5 of 7 <br /> <br />The business is not located in a high crime area. The <br />project is located within Police Grid 191 which had 155 <br />incidents in 2016 while the average number of incidents per <br />police grid was 373. Furthermore, in the last year there <br />were no reports of police activity at this address or within <br />the 100 block. The operational standards for <br />establishments selling alcoholic beverages mitigates <br />potential negative impacts to the community. Therefore, the <br />economic benefits to the business owner and those living <br />and working in the area outweighs the negative impacts <br />related to overconcentration. <br /> <br />3. The issuance of the license will provide a needed service not <br />currently being met in the community. <br /> <br />The deli and market, with the additional sale of alcoholic <br />beverages for off-site consumption, will provide a service to <br />those living and working within the census tract that is not <br />currently offered nearby. <br /> <br />4. There exist special and unusual circumstances present here to <br />justify a new retail alcohol outlet when there are already similar <br />alcohol uses existing nearby. <br /> <br />Census tract 740.03 is a large area that is generally between <br />Main Street and the SR-55 Freeway and Warner Avenue and <br />MacArthur Boulevard. This area includes some residential <br />uses, but contains mostly commercial, hospitality, office and <br />industrial uses. Therefore, the recommended limit of one (1) <br />facility based on the 3,173 inhabitants in 2016, may not <br />provide sufficient service to those that are visiting and working <br />in the area. The operation of an off-sale establishment at the <br />proposed location will provide a service to those living, visiting <br />and working in the south end of the census tract. <br /> <br />5. The business cannot operate profitably without a liquor license. <br /> <br />The market and deli are permitted uses by right. The sale of <br />alcoholic beverages will allow the market to compete with <br />other similar facilities in the area. The ABC license will help <br />increase the viability of the business and allow it to <br />compete with larger establishments. <br /> <br />1-13
