Amendment to CUP No. 2011-07 October 10, 2012 Page 5 Since the approvals for the three conditional use permits for the restaurant were granted last year, the Police Department has not received any significant calls for service to the establishment, mosl likely due to the applicant currently not selling alcohol at the restaurant or operating after hours. However, the Police Department is confident that the conditions imposed on the project will not result in any adverse impacts to the community. Therefore, based on the above average crime rate, the Police Department recommends approval of the CUP provided that the attached conditions are imposed to ensure that this location continues to operate as a bona fide eating establishment and does not aggravate existing conditions or negatively impact adjacent land uses. Public Notification The project site is located within the boundaries of the Downtown and Lacy Neighborhood Associations. The presidents of these Neighborhood Associations were notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, City staff contacted the presidents to ensure that they were notified of the project and to see if there were any areas of concern. No areas of concern were identified by the Neighborhood Association presidents, nor was there a request that the applicant present the project to a meeting of their members. The project site itself was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15301. The Class 1 exemption allows the licensing of existing facilities with no expansion of the existing use. Since the alcohol sales for the restaurant will be within the same building footprint, no expansion of the use is proposed. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2010-141 will be filed for this project. Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-07 as conditioned. -- ___ Vincent Frego o, AI Principal Plana VF:jm vflreporEslCUP1CUP11~07 Karmina.l©1012.za
