Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -10 <br />June 9, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />Protect Description <br />The applicant Is proposing to obtain a Type 47 ABC license to provide food and alcoholic beverage <br />service at The Marke as part of the operation of the roof top recreation deck. The Type 47 ABC license <br />requires the applicant to maintain a kitchen facility, operate as a restaurant and be in compliance with <br />City and State standards for restaurants possessing an ABC license. The applicant intends to obtain <br />an ABC license in order to provide an additional amenity to the residents and their guests of the <br />complex. The alcohol sales is intended to be an added amenity; as a result, residents and their <br />guests will have the option to either purchase alcoholic beverages from The Marke or bring their <br />own to the recreation deck or other common areas for consumption. <br />Alcohol sales will take place within the 5,600 square foot Recreation Building, which is located on the <br />roof top recreation deck. As a Type 47 license requires food sales in addition to the sale of alcohol, <br />one of the amenities within the Recreation Building will be a 450 square foot, full - service - commercial <br />kitchen. The recreation deck will also include amenities such as a fitness center, bowling alley, heated <br />pool, spa, outdoor seating areas and cabanas, an outdoor theater and a clubhouse. These amenities <br />are intended to promote a "resort living" type of environment that would typically be found at a resort <br />hotel. Although the sale of food and alcohol will occur on the recreation deck, approval of the ABC <br />license will also allow residents and guests the ability to consume purchased alcohol within the two <br />ground floor courtyards provided for the project. The north courtyard, which is approximately 9,700 <br />square feet in size, will contain amenities such as a water element, a fire pit, a barbeque, outdoor <br />seating and an enhanced landscaped pallet. The south courtyard, approximately 6,900 square feet in <br />size, will contain amenities similar to those found in the north courtyard. The proposed ABC license is <br />a unique concept that will be a "first -of- its - kind" in Santa Ana as well as the county. <br />The applicant is requesting approval to allow the on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages to <br />customers between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight and seven days per week. Although <br />the actual sale of food and alcohol are expected to occur up to four days per week, the applicant <br />has requested approval to allow sales to occur every day, with the actual hours and days of sales <br />depending on the type of events held at The Marke. The events expected could include beer and /or <br />wine tastings, poolside food and beverage service and other similar social events that are intended <br />to bring the residents together in a social setting. <br />The storage area for alcoholic beverages will be located on a display shelf and locked liquor storage <br />cabinet, both located in the commercial kitchen. The alcohol display shelf and locked cabinet total 33 <br />square feet in size, which is 0.4 percent of the floor area of the Recreation Building. This percentage of <br />alcohol storage area is below the Santa Ana Municipal Code's maximum of five percent of the gross <br />floor area of the establishment serving alcohol (Exhibits 4 and 5). <br />31A-4 <br />
