ER No. 2018-28, AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21 — Euclid Street 7-Eleven February 10, 2020 Page 6 mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The Police Department has reviewed this application and has no objection granting the CUP for after-hours operation. The subject site is not located in the highest percentile for crime and through the review of calls for service in the last 365 days, the site has only received two calls, both of which were related to transient activity. In addition, the calls for service are not reflective of the proposed business or operations as the site is currently vacant. Based on available crime statistics for this location, the site is not located within an area considered to be high in crime. The Police Department requires standard preventive measures for crime deterring to be established in sites such as this one. The items required by the Police Department include access to a closed circuit television system for the inside and outside of the store and site, door markers, timed -access cash vaults, appropriate interior and exterior lighting levels, and un- obstructed glass at the storefront. The Police Department contends that these standard preventive measures, and the location being outside of a high crime area, will provide adequate security measures. Finally, 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. The 7-Eleven service station and convenience store will provide a one -stop shop option for late -night or early morning needs for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The conditions of approval for this CUP will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. The 7-Eleven service station and convenience store is located on a major arterial thoroughfare and its operations will be compatible with other commercial uses in the near vicinity.
