dispensaries and El Cortijo Grill was permitted to continue the CUP process. F. On April 23, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-32. G. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-32 to allow for the on-premises ABC license: 1. That the proposed use provides a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption will provide an ancillary service to the restaurant’s customers by allowing them the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their food. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food- related amenity. Standards are applicable to the alcoholic beverage control license which will address any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. 2. That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because operational standards to the alcoholic beverage control license will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. This is primarily a restaurant use and the addition of alcohol will be ancillary to the main use ensuring that El Cortijo Grill Restaurant continues to operate as a bona-fide restaurant. The site is located away from sensitive land uses, ensuring the health and safety of the residents living in the vicinity. Finally, the sale of alcohol in the restaurant is intended to be incidental to the primary use as an eating establishment and will occur within the premises. All health codes and regulations will be followed, in addition to employee training programs focused on security, alcohol responsibility, and preventing the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors, which ensure that the alcohol sales are handled in a responsible manner. 3-8
