Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -46 March 9, 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. Northgate Market is requesting a conditional use permit for a Type 21 ABC license. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41- 196(c)(d), the subject site is exempt from separation requirements for off -sale establishments as the subject building contains 22,714 square feet. The site will be in compliance with all standards of SAMC Section 41- 196(g) for the off- premise sale of alcoholic beverages (Exhibit 6), These 26 operational standards will mitigate potential impacts on the adjacent uses and ensure the use does not become an attractive nuisance to the community. 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 21 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license will provide an additional service and convenience to the community by allowing patrons the ability to purchase alcoholic beverages in conjunction with groceries as well as a variety of general merchandise to the general public. The ABC license will not negatively affect the surrounding community as conditions of approval have been included to reduce potential impacts and avoid the potential for an attractive nuisance being established. By adding distilled spirits to the other items already offered in the store, Northgate can better serve the community by providing added convenience and a one -stop shopping experience. • The proposed ABC license will not be detrimental to persons residing and working in the area as operational standards will ensure that the use will not create any negative or adverse impacts. Northgate is an established grocery chain with established policies and procedures, including an employee training program focused on security and alcohol responsibility, which will ensure that distilled spirits sales are handled in a responsible manner. 31A-5
