B. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to the • health safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity? The proposed Type 21 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license will not be detrimental to the general welfare and safety of the surrounding businesses and residents. The Conditions of Approval address property maintenance (graffiti and litter) and other activities such as exterior public phones that promote loitering decreasing the opportunity for crime and neighborhood annoyances impacting the surrounding commercial uses or the multi-family residential development west of the subject site. The Police Department reports the area is 48`" out of 102 Police Reporting Districts. This district is average in police related incidences. To ensure compliance with the Conditions of Approval, the Police Department will conduct a review of the project at 90 days, six months and one year, then annually thereafter. C.

Each license outlet caters to a • variety of retail customers. The other off-premise licenses are a discount retailer, Pic N Save; a pharmacy, Rite Aid and Craig's Liquor. There are no significant ambient noise, traffic or parking impacts anticipated for this project that would negatively impact the economic viability of the retail or residential areas. D. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the chapter of the Santa Ana Municipal Code for such use? The proposed outlet location does not meet the State's definition of over concentration. The State allows three off-premise license outlets per census tract, currently there are two within the Smart and Final census tract. However, the proposed off-premise Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license does meet the Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-132 definition of over-concentration. This definition was established to ensure that proposed license outlets do not negatively impact sensitive land uses within the surrounding area. Smart and Final is located in a commercial district abutting residential development on the west side. The implementation of the Conditions of Approval will reduce the potential for negative impacts and bring the project into compliance with Conditional Use Permit 01-3. E.
