Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 6 of 15 The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, for off-premises consumption will not be detrimental to the character of development in the immediate neighborhood. Ole City Market is a full-scale grocery store proposed to be located in an integrated shopping center that is designed to minimize intrusion into surrounding neighborhoods. The market is not in close proximity to any parks, playgrounds, religious institutions, or schools primarily attended by minors. Moreover, the primary entrance to the store is proposed to be located on the south side of the building and faces away from the nearest single-family residential development to the east. Operational standards applicable to the ABC license and conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect any immediate residential neighborhood. The granting of CUP No. 2025-02 will be in harmony with the overall objective of the General Plan as stated in Section 1.H.5. above. 2. The economic benefit outweighs the negative impacts to the community as whole. The economic benefit associated with the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-premises consumption at the subject site will outweigh any potential negative impacts to the community as a whole. The proposed use and proposed improvements would help generate additional economic growth and stability in the City by further activating an underutilized site and helping generate sales tax revenue. This additional revenue would improve the financial health of the business itself and contribute to the broader economic sustainability of the City. Furthermore, the proposed project would help create a job-producing establishment thereby providing employment opportunities to Santa Ana residents. 3. The issuance of the license will provide a needed service not currently being met in the community. The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-premises consumption at the subject site will provide a needed service not currently being met at the subject site, as it would be ancillary to the primary grocery store and retail sales. The subject site was previously improved with grocery market (Northgate Gonzales Market), which vacated in late 2022. Ole City Market is proposing to establish in the City and fill that immediate needed service of providing a neighborhood grocery store option. Ole City Market is dedicated to providing competitively priced, high-quality goods in a convenient and welcoming shopping environment. Their product offerings include fresh produce, meats, seafood, deli items, frozen foods, groceries, beverages, and a selection of beer and liquor. They emphasize courtesy and care in every aspect of the customer
