Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 4 of 10 G. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-27 pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-2007, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-27 to allow the operation of a craft brewery: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or community. The proposed craft brewery will be an ancillary component to the operation of a full service bona-fide restaurant. The use is consistent with other brewery/restaurants in the downtown area and will provide an additional service to the residents, employees, or visitors in the area. Noble Ale Works has been in business for almost a decade, originating in Anaheim. As proposed, the improvements to the building and introducing the small craft brewery at this location will contribute to the overall well-being of the neighborhood. Additionally, operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control license and conditions of approval included for this CUP will mitigate 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 brewery operation at this location will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The operation of the brewery is similar to several businesses located in the downtown. The dedicated floor area for all the brewing equipment is only 96 square feet, which is approximately four (4%) percent of the entire building. As proposed, all manufacturing operations will be located within the building. Additionally, operational standards in the SD-84 zoning district limit the hours of operation for any business located in the downtown. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to compete with other nearby restaurants that offer a full selection of in- house alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. 2-14
