Resolution No. 2011-XX Page 4 of 5 of Public Convenience or Necessity to the State Department of Alcohol Beverage Control 5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City? The proposed alcohol license will adversely affect the General Plan in several ways. The new alcohol license will be inconsistent with Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element which supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The alcohol license increases the potential for nuisance crimes such as loitering, disturbing the peace, graffiti and other crimes that impact surrounding businesses and residential neighborhoods. The granting of this application is also inconsistent with Policies 5.1 and 5.5 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan which discourages projects that are not compatible with surrounding land uses and have the potential to negatively impact their quality of life. The projects proximity to both residential properties as well as other sensitive land uses identified in the over concentration criteria further support the denial of this application. E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15270. This Statutory Exemption states that CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. Statutory Exemption Environmental Review No. 2010-148 will be filed for this project. Section 2.
