Conditional Use Permit No. 201634 November 28, 2016 Page 4 Department analyzed the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained In the Business and Professions Code Section 23948,4(c)(2), which are also utilized by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This section defines 'reported crimes" as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by the State's ABC and Business and 'Professions Cade, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number fecund in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation. This business address is located in Reporting District No, 89. The number of reported crimes in District 89 is not 20 percent higher than the average number of reported crimes in all reporting districts. In addition, the Police Department contends that the proposed conditions of approval will mitigate any potential negative impacts to the surrounding community. As a result, the Police Department is supportive of the applicant's request. Public Notjfication The project site is not located within the boundary of an established neighborhood association.
