The proposed expansion of the banquet facility will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to compete with other nearby restaurants that also offer banquet facilities for special events and community functions. The proposed use will serve to re- tenant previously vacant portions of the building, thereby decreasing the number of vacant tenant spaces that may affect the economic stability of the area. 4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use? As conditioned, the expansion of the banquet facility will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a restaurant operating a banquet use pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City? The proposed expansion of the banquet facility will not adversely affect the General Plan. The granting of this Conditional Use Permit supports several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of full- service restaurants with banquet facilities offers additional service for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Policy 2.8 of the Land Use Element promotes the rehabilitation of commercial properties, and encourages increased levels of capital investment. The restaurant expansion will include a significant level of new tenant improvements representing a substantial capital investment in the building. The restaurant expansion further supports the rehabilitation of this commercial property. H.
