2. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular <br />case be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of <br />persons residing or working in the vicinity? <br />The proposed license for the on -sale consumption of beer <br />and wine at this location will not be detrimental to persons <br />residing or working in the vicinity because the code <br />applicable standards for an alcoholic beverage control <br />license will mitigate any potential negative or adverse <br />impacts created by the use. <br />3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic <br />stability or future economic development of properties surrounding <br />the area? <br />The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic <br />stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to <br />compete with other nearby restaurants that also offer <br />alcoholic beverages for sale to their guests and other <br />visitors. Moreover, the offering of alcoholic beverages <br />allows the restaurant to remain economically viable and <br />contributes to the overall success of Westfield MainPlace, <br />helping to decrease the number of vacant tenant spaces that <br />may affect the economic viability of the site. <br />4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions <br />specified in Chapter 41 for such use? <br />The proposed project will be in compliance with all <br />applicable regulations and standards imposed on a <br />restaurant selling beer and wine pursuant to Chapter 41 of <br />the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The facility will be <br />maintained as a full service eating establishment, having the <br />kitchen equipment necessary to be considered a bona fide <br />restaurant use and is eligible to obtain a restaurant related <br />alcoholic beverage control license. Additionally, the <br />restaurant will utilize two percent of the gross floor area for <br />the display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is <br />below the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. <br />5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any <br />specific plan of the City? <br />The proposed use will not adversely affect the City's General <br />Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land <br />uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and <br />services. A full - service restaurant with an ancillary alcohol <br />license provides a dining service to Santa Ana residents and <br />visitors, especially those to Westfield MainPlace, which <br />continues to develop as a dining, entertainment, and retail <br />
