CUP Nos. 2016 -29, 2016 -30 & 2016 -33 October 10, 2016 Page 3 In addition to operations as a full service eating establishment, Majesty Restaurant is requesting to operate an ancillary banquet use. As a banquet facility, Majesty Restaurant would allow the facility or a portion of the facility to be available for rent. This banquet use would be ancillary to the primary restaurant use. Banquet facilities as an ancillary use are permitted in the Community Commercial zoning district subject to the issuance of a CUP. Project Background The subject multi- tenant commercial center contains multiple neighborhood - serving businesses, The tenant space has been operating as an eating establishment since the previous restaurant at this unit, Emerald Bay Restaurant, began operating on December 18, 1996. Emerald Bay Restaurant was a full- service restaurant that provided alcoholic beverages to customers via approval of CUP No. 1997 -06. Majesty Restaurant is a full - service Vietnamese restaurant that has been operating at 5015 West Edinger Avenue, Unit V since March 6, 2015. CUP No. 2000- 11 had been transferred to Majesty Restaurant when they opened at this location, which allowed the on- premise consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at this location. This CUP amended CUP No. 1997.06, which authorized the on- premise consumption of beer and wine at this location. Other than the previous ABC license request, no discretionary permits have been requested or granted at neither Units V nor Z, Project Analysis Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permit requests may be granted when It can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. 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. The on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages to customers is intended to provide a service ancillary to the primary restaurant use. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food - related amenity. The granting of the CUP for this expanded space will allow the restaurant to continue to function within this neighborhood as an eating establishment. The proposed expansion of the ABC license into the adjacent suite will be In compliance with all other regulations, including alcohol storage and display area criteria set forth in Section 41- 196(g)(25) of the SAMC. Further, the site will be in compliance with all operational standards set forth in Section 41- 196(g) of the SAMC, which govern the on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages (Exhibit 6). Finally, the proposed ABC license will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, including Goals 2 and 5 of the Land Use Element, which encourages land uses that enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability, that mitigate any potential impacts, and are compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. 31A-5
