CUP No. 2016 -16 May 9, 2016 Page 5 Public Notification The project site is located within the boundaries of the Meredith Parkwood Neighborhood Association. Staff contacted the president of the Meredith Parkwood Neighborhood Association to ensure they were notified of this project and to identify any areas of concern. Mr. Winston Covington, Meredith Parkwood Neighborhood Association President, did not have any concerns at this time. The project site itself was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners and tenants within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. CEQA Compliance The Rockfire Grill restaurant is an existing facility applying for a conditional use permit to allow an ABC license to have beer and wine consumption on site. It has been found by the City's development review agencies that the granting of this ABC license will not create any adverse impacts. The Rockfire Grill restaurant is located on a site that is not designated by federal, state, or local agencies to be an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. The cumulative impact of this project will not be significant as the land use is allowed by the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the property is already served by roads and utilities, and will not create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. There is no reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project is not located within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway and will not result in damage to scenic resources. The project is not located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Lastly, the project is not proposed on a site that is considered a historical resource or that is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15061(b)(3) because there is a certainty that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2016 -44 will be filed for this project. Strategic Plan Alignment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 Economic Development, Objective No. 2 (create new opportunities for business /job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). 31 C -7
