Resolution No. 2011-XX <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Ana Municipal Code regarding off-premise general <br />liquor license since this location meets one of the three <br />criteria established for defining over concentration. The <br />Santa Ana Municipal Code defines the over <br />concentration of alcohol licenses as a site that meets <br />any one of the following criteria: <br />1. The premise is located within 1,000 feet of <br />another existing off-premise license location; <br />2. The premise is located within 1,000 feet of any <br />property used as a school primarily attended by <br />minors, a church or a park; <br />3. The premise is determined to be over <br />concentrated by the State Department of <br />Alcoholic Beverage Control. <br />Although the subject property is not within 1,000 feet <br />other off-premise alcohol licenses, or determined to be <br />overconcentrated by the State, the subject property is <br />within 1,000 feet of two schools attended primarily by <br />minors at 2000 North Bristol Street and at 1530 West <br />Seventeenth Street. <br />5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any <br />specific plan of the City? <br />The proposed alcohol license will adversely affect the <br />General Plan in several ways. The new alcohol license <br />will be inconsistent with Policy 2.9 of the Land Use <br />Element which supports developments that create a <br />business environment that is safe and attractive. The <br />alcohol license increases the potential for nuisance <br />crimes such as loitering, disturbing the peace, graffiti <br />and other crimes that impact surrounding businesses <br />and residential neighborhoods. The granting of this <br />application is also inconsistent with Policies 5.1 and 5.5 <br />of the Land Use Element of the General Plan which <br />discourages projects that are not compatible with <br />surrounding land uses and have the potential to <br />negatively impact their quality of life. The projects <br />proximity to both residential properties as well as other <br />sensitive land uses identified in the over concentration <br />criteria further support the denial of this application.
