Restaurant Acapulco No. 2 currently provides alcoholic beverages for on -premises consumption at this location. The proposed physical expansion of the restaurant will provide additional seating space for the restaurant's customers. This will also facilitate the operations of the restaurant making the customer experience even more pleasing, continuing the sale of beer, wine, and spirits with meals. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food related amenity. Operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control license will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community as it has not for the last two decades. 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 physical expansion of the restaurant and sale of alcoholic beverages for on -premises consumption at this location will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity because the operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control license will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. Restaurant l Acapulco No. 2 is an existing bona -fide restaurant and the expansion will not change the use of alcohol sales, as such sales remain an ancillary use to the restaurant. Finally, all of the operational standards identified in SAMC Sec. 41-196 will continue to apply to this establishment. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. Restaurant Acapulco No. 2 has been in operation for more than 20 years at this location, including the sale of alcohol. The proposed expansion will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to continue offering the same dining opportunities, only in a larger restaurant space. Moreover, the expansion and sale of alcoholic beverages will allow Restaurant Acapulco No. 2 to remain economically viable and competitive with nearby full-service restaurants in the local vicinity and contribute to the overall success of the City of Santa Ana. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. Resolution No. 2018-37 Page 2 of 6
