Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -06 May 12, 2014 Page 5 compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by ABC [Business and Professions Code Section 23948.4(a)(1)], should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation, which could result in a recommendation of denial. The project site at 1313 West Seventeenth Street is located in Reporting District No. 123. This reporting district is not 20 percent above the average for calls for service for all reporting districts; the threshold established by the State for high crime. Although the site is located in an area of the City that does not have a high crime area, conditions of approval are included as required by the SAMC that are adequate to address any concerns and minimize the potential impacts of the proposed ABC license. Public Notification The project site is located within the boundaries of the Riverview Neighborhood Association, and in the vicinity of Artesia Pilar, West Floral Park, and Washington Square neighborhoods. The chair of each of these respective Neighborhood Associations was mailed a notice 10 days prior to this public hearing. Staff also contacted each Association representative to ensure they were informed of the hearing and to discuss the proposed project. The project site itself was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15301. The Class 1 exemption allows the operating, permitting and licensing of existing private structures with negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages at a new restaurant is to be located within an existing commercial building. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2014 -32 will be filed for this project. Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -06 as conditioned. Melanie G.
