Conditional Use Permit Nos. 2013-02 & 2013-07 May 13, 2013 Page 4 • The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. A restaurant that offers early morning, daytime and late evening meals is consistent with the existing uses in the Downtown and the District Center land use designation. Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-07 to allow a banquet facility The applicant proposes to utilize the eating establishment as a banquet facility for private parties as needed. This offers patrons an opportunity to hold private or community events in the establishment and to close all or part of the restaurant to the general public. This facility will serve both regional and local patrons for restaurant and banquet needs. • The proposed use will provide an added alternative to the restaurant thereby providing a benefit to the community through the provision of a local banquet and meeting venue. Conditions have been placed on the banquet facility which will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect or be injurious to the surrounding community. • The addition of the banquet facility use to the restaurant will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area because the use, as conditioned, will not create any negative or adverse impacts. The banquet and private events will occur inside of the premises and offer an alternative to the restaurant's business operations to enhance the economic viability of the restaurant. Moreover, conditions are imposed to mitigate any potential impacts to those in the vicinity. • This commercial site is appropriate for the proposed land use. A banquet facility at the C4 Deli will increase the potential patronage to the business, thereby enhancing the economic viability of this commercial area. As conditioned, the proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on an eating establishment pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and the Transit Zoning Code (SD84) zoning provisions. • The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan. Banquet facilities are permitted within the District Center (DC) General Plan designation and the SD-84/Downtown (DT) zoning district and serve to create an environment conducive to business on a regional scale.
