CUP Nos. 2014 -30 & 2014 -31 August 25, 2014 Page 7 Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage Control License (CUP No. 2014 -31) SAMC Section 41 -196 requires a CUP for establishments selling alcohol for on -site or off -site consumption. The proposed ABC license will allow the proposed indoor recreation facility to offer an additional amenity and dining experience for its patrons that is consistent with other eating establishments in the area. Moreover, operational standards will mitigate potential impacts from Type 47 ABC license (Exhibit 7). The following findings of fact form the foundation for staffs recommendation of approval for the CUP to allow a Type 47 ABC license. • The proposed Type 47 ABC license will provide an ancillary service to the facility's customers by allowing them the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their food. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a full - service dining experience within a family - oriented indoor recreation venue. Standards are applicable to 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 Type 47 ABC license for the on -sale consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because operational standards to the alcoholic beverage control license will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. The food service area will offer a full range of meal options to its patrons and the addition of alcohol will be ancillary to the main use. In addition, the use will occur within the interior of the premises, mitigating any potential impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. Finally, the sale of alcohol in the restaurant is intended to be incidental to the primary use as an eating establishment within an indoor recreation venue. • The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the venue to compete with other similar indoor recreation venues nearby in Santa Ana and the region that also offer a full selection of meals and alcoholic beverages for sale to their guests and other visitors. Moreover, the offering of alcoholic beverages will allow Round 1 Entertainment, a relatively new business concept in the United States, to remain economically viable and contributes to the overall success of Westfield MainPlace, helping to decrease the number of vacant spaces that may affect the economic viability of the area. • The proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations imposed on a restaurant selling beer, wine and distilled spirits pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The facility will be maintained as a full - service, bona -fide eating establishment within the indoor recreation venue having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods commonly ordered at various hours of the day. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize less than one percent of the gross floor area for the display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is below the maximum threshold established by the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 31A-9
