Planning and Building Agency <br />July 8, 2024 <br />Item # XX <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Planning Commission Staff Report <br />July 8, 2024 <br />Topic: Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-14-MOD-1 — Target ABC License Modification (3300 <br />South Bristol Street) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Adopt a resolution approving modification to Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-14 as <br />conditioned; and <br />2. Authorize staff to issue a Letter of Public Convenience or Necessity to the State <br />Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Beth Aboulafia with Hinman and Carmichael, LLP., and representing Target Corporation <br />(Applicant) and Dayton -Hudson Corporation (Property Owner), is requesting approval of a <br />modification to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2012-14 (CUP No. 2012-14-MOD-1) and <br />approval to make a determination of Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) to allow the sale of <br />distilled spirits, in addition to beer and wine, for off -premises consumption through the operation <br />of a Type-21 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at an existing Target retail store located <br />at 3300 South Bristol Street. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />(SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for off -premises consumption require <br />approval of a CUP and, in accordance with Section 41-649 of the SAMC, a modification to a CUP <br />requires refiling of a new application and approval by the Planning Commission. In addition, in <br />accordance with Section 41-645.5 of the SAMC and Section 23958.4 of the Business and <br />Professional Code, a determination of PCN is required for the proposed CUP modification. Staff <br />is recommending approval of the applicant's request because the site is located away from <br />sensitive land uses and the property's history of compliance with City codes and regulations. <br />Furthermore, the Target store is anticipated to serve the public's convenience by offering a <br />convenient one -stop, full department store experience without resulting in detrimental impacts to <br />the surrounding neighborhood. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Protect Description <br />The applicant is requesting approval of a modification to CUP No. 2012-14 to allow the sale of <br />distilled spirits for off -premises consumption in addition to the existing sale of beer and wine, by <br />upgrading from a Type-20 to a Type-21 ABC license, at an existing Target store located 3300 <br />South Bristol Street. Target currently occupies an existing 102,960-square foot commercial <br />building within a planned shopping center located at the southwest corner of Bristol Street and <br />Alton Avenue. If the CUP modification request is approved, Target will upgrade the interior retail <br />service area of the store to expand their alcohol beverage display area to approximately 358- <br />square feet in size to allow for the additional display of distilled spirits. No additional improvements <br />
