Establishments In the Transit Zoning Code that sell alcoholic beverages <br />require approval of a CUP pursuant to Section 41 -2007 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />(SAMC). <br />Proiect Location and Site Description <br />Blinking Owl is currently in the process of pursuing tenant improvements to occupy a 5,596- square <br />foot manufacturing space at the southeast corner of Washington Avenue and Santiago Street. The <br />total square footage of all structures on site is approximately 20,038 square feet and the entire <br />property is approximately 1.06 acres. <br />The General Plan land use designation for the site is Urban Neighborhood (UN). The Urban <br />Neighborhood land use designation applies to primarily residential areas with pedestrian oriented <br />commercial uses, schools and small parks. The parcel is located within the Transit Zoning Code <br />(SD -84) zoning district in the Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN -2) land use sub -zone. The property is <br />also located in the Heavy Industrial overlay zone within SD -84 (OZ M -2), which allows properties <br />presently used for industrial purposes to continue industrial land uses. The Heavy Industrial <br />overlay designation allows manufacturing uses by right, making Blinking Owl craft distillery's <br />manufacturing land use consistent with the zoning designation. Surrounding land uses include <br />utility and commercial uses to the north, commercial and industrial uses to the east, industrial uses <br />to the south, and commercial and industrial uses to the west across Santiago Street (Exhibits 1, 2 <br />and 3).
