Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -50 February 23, 2015 Page 3 • 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 will not adversely 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 Type 41 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 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 41 ABC license for the on -sale consumption of beer and wine 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 restaurant 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. The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to compete with other similar dining establishments found 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 SI Pollo Norteno to remain economically viable and contribute to the overall success of First Street Plaza, helping to decrease the number of vacant spaces that may affect the economic viability of the area. 31A-5
