Conditional Use Permit No. 201 1-17 August 31,201 1 Page 3 That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. That the proposed use adversely will not affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit. The proposed alcohol beverage control licenses will allow the existing establishment to continue its operations and sales within the City of Santa Ana. The Wine Club has currently outgrown its existing location on East McFadden Avenue. The conditional use permit for the ABC licenses will allow it to expand its operations at a new location close to its existing facility while continuing to serve existing and new clientele. Conditions have been placed on the alcoholic beverage control license which will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. The proposed licenses for the on and off-sale consumption of beer and wine at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because conditions have been placed on the alcoholic beverage control licenses that will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. In addition, the use will occur within the premises and is incidental to the retail use. The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the facility to corr~pete with other wine merchants in tlie area that also offer alcoholic beverages for sale to their guests and other visitors. Further, the establishment is proposing to double the size of its facility, which will identify the location as an economically viable business and will improve its economic competitiveness.
