The proposed use will not adversely affect the City's General Plan. The project is consistent with Goals 2 and 5 of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan which promote land uses that enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability and that mitigate any potential impacts. Further, the project is consistent with Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element, which encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. A full- service supermarket with an ancillary alcohol license provides a service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, especially those in the central section of the City. Furthermore, the license is consistent with Policy 2.8 of the Land Use Element, which encourages increased levels of capital investment. Further, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the proposed Type 21 ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment at the shopping center. Retail establishments and regulated uses such as ABC licenses are permitted within the General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. Dollar General is currently located in a commercial area and its operations will be compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses. E, In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15301. The Class 1 exemption allows the operating, permitting and licensing of existing private structures with negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The proposed application is to approve an alcoholic beverage control license and allow the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits within an existing structure that is already served by municipal services, such as roadways, utilities, and parking in a variety of forms.
