<br />Resolution No. 2022-33 <br />Page 5 of 11 <br />The proposed improvements would help generate additional <br />economic growth and stability in the City by further activating a <br />prominent street corner and helping generate property and <br />sales tax revenue. Furthermore, the improvements would help <br />retain the existing job-producing establishment thereby <br />providing employment opportunities to Santa Ana residents. <br />x Goal EP-3: Business Friendly Environment – Promote <br />a business friendly environment where businesses <br />thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and <br />opportunities. <br />o Policy 3.7 Facilitating Investment – Promote a <br />solution-based customer focus in order to <br />facilitate additional development and investment <br />in the community. <br />o Policy 3.8 Comprehensive Analysis of Land Use <br />– Pursue a balance of fiscal and qualitative <br />community benefits when making land use <br />decisions. <br />The proposed project would help the applicant to enhance <br />their business offerings and compete with nearby full-service <br />restaurants that offer similar services with a dual-lane drive- <br />through.
