Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 2 of 15 Section 23958.4, requires a determination of PCN when a request for the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption is located within an area deemed to have an undue concentration of off-premises alcohol licenses as determined by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”). G. On March 10, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for CUP No. 2025-02. H. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41- 638, have been established for CUP No. 2025-02 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, for off-premises consumption at a new grocery store (Ole City Market) located at 1623 W.
