Conditional Use Permit No. 2017 -12 April 10, 2017 Page 3 Proiect Analysis Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permits 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. Staff has prepared the following analysis, which in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. The purpose of regulating establishments that sell alcoholic beverages is to set forth operating practices and procedures, and to minimize impacts to surrounding areas. Staff has reviewed the applicant's request to allow an on -sale license at this location. Since the proposed alcohol license is intended to provide an added amenity to the restaurant, and because the sale of alcoholic beverages will be ancillary to the primary use as an eating establishment, staff recommends approval of the proposed CUP. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health; safety, and welfare of the community. The Pizza Press is a restaurant business with established procedures and operators in California and soon in other states. The existing eating establishment and proposed alcoholic beverage service will enhance the economic viability of the restaurant and new eating opportunities for visitors and residents in the community. The proposed CUP will be in compliance with all other regulations, including alcohol storage and display area set forth in Section 41- 196(c) of the SAMC, Further, the site will be in compliance with all the operational standards set forth in Section 41- 196(g) of the SAMC, which govern the on- premises sale of alcoholic beverages (Exhibit 6). Additionally, the site is located away from sensitive land uses, ensuring that it will not be detrimental to any residential uses in the vicinity. Finally, the proposed CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, including Goal 2 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. The Pizza Press proposes to provide an additional amenity as part of the restaurant operations, to serve guests and residents of the City, similar to the restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
