Resolution No. 2022-XXX <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />use. All of the operational standards identified in SAMC <br />Section 41-196 will apply to this establishment. <br />3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic <br />stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the <br />area. <br />This venue has operated as an indoor concert and dinner <br />facility at 3503 South Harbor Boulevard since 1994 under the <br />names The Galaxy Concert Theatre and most recently under <br />The Observatory (2011).

That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions <br />specified in Chapter 41 of the SAMC for such use. <br />The proposed conditional use permit will be in compliance <br />with all applicable regulations and operational standards <br />imposed on ancillary banquet uses pursuant to Chapter 41 of <br />the SAMC.
