Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-31 February 26, 2018 Page 3 In 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2847 which was a comprehensive update to the City’s regulations on establishments selling alcoholic beverages. The ordinance requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for either on-site or off- site consumption. The ordinance also requires all uses to comply with the operational standards as identified in Section 41-196 of the SAMC. Existing non-conforming establishments selling alcoholic beverages were allowed to continue to operate. Because of this change, the subject market requires approval a CUP, which will allow the City to regulate the ABC license. The market will comply with the operational standards per SAMC Section 41-196(f).

The proposed expansion will allow the owner to better operate the market by providing one central service counter that will service both the market and water dispensary operations. No expansion is proposed to the display and/or storage of alcohol at this time. The granting of the CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. Policy 5.3 of the Economic Development Element aims to simplify development permit requirements, and assist businesses with permit processing. The operational standards as outlined in SAMC Section 41-196(f) and periodic monitoring will ensure that the market would not deviate from the planned operation reviewed under this application. Police Department Analysis As part of the application process, the Police Department has reviewed this expansion request and does not oppose granting this CUP. Even though this market is located within a Police Grid in the highest 20 percent of activity, no significant activity is resulting from this business’s operations.
