Proiect Background Target has been operating at its current location since 1986. The company has operated locations in southern California since the 1980s; its stares average approximately 100,000 square feet in size. Moreover, Target stores employ thousands of employees throughout southern California. The company is open to the public and offers a full range of items that range from household goods, clothing, and electronics to market goods and groceries. The sale of beer and wine at its locations is part of the company's new business model at locations that contain market sections. In 2000, the store carried out extensive tenant improvements to reconfigure the interior layout of the site and modernize the store. In conjunction with this projec#, Variance No. 2000-07 was approved, allowing the store to retain two non-conforming monument signs and to permit an additional secondary sign for the store's pharmacy. This action allowed the store to advertise its range of services and is consistent with other sign variances issued for larger retail stores. General Plan and Zonin Consistent The General Plan land use designation for the site is District Center (DC). District Centers are designed to serve as anchors to the City's commercial corridors, and to accommodate major development activity. The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. The parcel is located within the Planned Shopping Center {C-4) zoning district. C-4 zoning districts allow for support retail and service uses such as Target, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning code. Pro'ett Anal sis The Santa Ana Municipal Code regulates over-concentration of alcohol licenses for smaller markets and similar establishments. At close to 103,000 square feet in size, this application is not subject to Section 41-132 of the SAMC which regulates off-site sale alcohol licenses for markets less than 20,000 square feet.
