CUP No. 2025-17 – Unsung Brewing Company (2590 S. Redhill Avenue, Unit C) September 22, 2025 Page 4 5 2 8 6 any potential impacts created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. In addition, the subject unit is located within the Broadstone Village mixed-use community, which was entitled to provide a highly- amenitized community with a “live, work, and play” environment and the proposed eating establishment will be compatible. Furthermore, the subject site is not located within immediate proximity to parks, playgrounds, schools, or religious institutions. The nearest school is Monroe Elementary School which is approximately 1.1 miles northwest of the project site. Similarly, the nearest playground within the City of Santa Ana is Delhi Park and it is one mile away. Additionally, the nearest religious institution, New Life Christian Center at 1518 Brookhollow Drive, is located approximately 2,800 linear feet to the northwest of the project site. As a result, the granting of the CUP will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses. General Plan Consistency Approval of the requested CUP is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of District Center (DC), which allows a mix of uses including retail and commercial uses. The sale of beer for on-premises consumption will serve a commercial use and would contribute positively to the City’s business landscape and tax base. The Project supports several goals and polices of the General Plan. Specifically, it aligns with Land Use Element (LU) Goal LU-2 and Policies LU-2.1, LU-2.2, LU-2.6, and LU-2.8, which aim to provide a balanced mix of land uses that meet the City’s diverse needs, offer a broad range of employment opportunities, capture local spending, encourage re-investment into the City, and promote the City’s image as a significant business-friendly regional activity center. The Project would provide a new dining and gathering opportunity that will serve both Santa Ana residents and visitors. Its proximity to the cities of Tustin, Irvine, and Costa Mesa; the Costa Mesa Freeway; and John Wayne Airport, positions the Project to attract regional patrons, adding to the City’s economic vitality. The Project also aligns with Goal LU-4 and Policy LU-4.1, which supports improvements to the built environment and promotes complete neighborhoods through complementary uses and people-oriented spaces within walkable neighborhoods. The proposed micro- brewery is compatible with the surrounding uses, as it will serve as a major anchor for any future commercial tenants and can serve the thousands of residents living in close proximity within the same mixed-use development. The Project is also consistent with the Economic Prosperity Element of the General Plan, particularly through Policy EP-3.11, which seeks to improve the City’s image through creating vibrant and engaging public spaces. The introduction of a micro-brewery and restaurant will offer an attractive social environment for adults of all ages, improving the City’s identity as a destination for dining and recreation. Its street-facing location along an arterial provides visibility and activity that will support the evolution of the area into a mixed-use commercial destination serving residents, workers, and visitors alike.
