CUP No. 2017-17 & 2017-19 July 24, 2017 Page 3 Project Analvsis CUP requests are governed by § 41-638 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). CUPS 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 obtain the on -sale beer and wine license. Since the proposed alcohol license is Intended to provide an added amenity to the restaurant, and 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 sale of alcoholic beverage for on -premise consumption and after-hours operation will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The restaurant is located away from sensitive land uses and conditions of approval will minimize any negative impacts from the restaurant's operations.
