Planning Commission Staff Report

Topic: CUP No. 2021-10 – El Indio Botanas y Cerveza (309 W. Third Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-10 as conditioned.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Oscar Olivares with El Indio Botanas y Cerveza (Applicant), on behalf of Civic Center
Realty, Inc. (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
No. 2021-10 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises
consumption through a Type 47 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at an existing
eating establishment located at 309 West Third Street. The business is currently
operating with a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license and is proposing to
upgrade to a Type 47 ABC license with this CUP request. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic
beverages for on-premises consumption require approval of a CUP. Staff is
recommending approval of the applicant’s request because of demonstrated
compliance with zoning and building requirements as discussed and analyzed in the
sections below, as well as the site’s location away from sensitive land uses.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
El Indio Botanas y Cerveza currently occupies a 1,440-square foot tenant space and a
390-square foot enclosed outdoor patio within an existing single-story historic
commercial building. The eating establishment can accommodate up to 17 patrons
within its dining area and approximately 32 patrons with the enclosed outdoor patio.
Currently, the business operates daily from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.; the late-night
operations are permitted by CUP No. 2015-03, which was approved in 2015.
With approval of CUP No. 2021-10, the applicant intends to operate a Type 47 Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) license, which would allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled
spirits ancillary to food service. All alcoholic beverages will be stored within a
refrigerator unit, draft cooler, and two racks within an existing storage closet, which
totals approximately 54 square feet. The storage area will make up less than five (5)
percent of the total restaurant’s floor area as required by SAMC Section 41-196(g). The

restaurant also has an approved live entertainment permit, which was approved in
2021; no changes to the live entertainment permit are proposed as part of the subject
application.

Project Background
El Indio Botanas y Cerveza occupies an historic commercial building constructed in
1932 that has been listed as a Contributive structure to the Downtown Historic District
since 1984. The applicant has been in operation of the tenant space since October of
2017. The establishment specializes in Mexican food and libations traditional to the
cuisine. The upgrade of the existing ABC license to include distilled spirits will allow the
business to compete with similar eating establishments that offer similar beverage
choices in the Downtown area.
Project Analysis
CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the 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 CUP.
Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. 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 sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits and has determined that the
sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at the subject location will not
be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for on-premises
consumption will provide an ancillary service to the restaurant’s customers by allowing
them the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal and will
allow El Indio Botanas y Cerveza to be economically viable and compete with nearby
full-service restaurants that offer the same services to their patrons. In addition, the
operational standards applicable to an ABC license will mitigate any potential impacts
created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding
community. Furthermore, the subject site is not located within immediate proximity to
parks, playgrounds, schools, or religious institutions. As a result, the granting of the
CUP will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses that may be located nearby.
Approval of the CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General
Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the
City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of full-service restaurants that
provide alcoholic beverages offer additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and
visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that
create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the
restaurant applicable to the ABC license will ensure maintenance of a safe and
attractive environment in the neighborhood. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element
encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land
uses. El Indio Botanas y Cerveza is located within the Downtown and its operations will
be compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses.
To ensure that the establishment operates as a bona fide restaurant and that the
addition of distilled spirits to the ABC license does not negatively impact the surrounding
properties, conditions of approval have been added requiring recordation of a Property
Maintenance Agreement and adoption and implementation of a Good Neighbor Policy.
Staff has also analyzed the calls for Police Department service for the last 365 days.
The majority of the calls for service are related to noise complaints, which stems from
many restaurants availing themselves of outdoor dining opportunities in light of the
Covid-19 pandemic. Conditions of approval are intended to address potential impacts of
the ABC license modification (Exhibit 1).
Police Department Analysis
The Police Department reviews CUP applications for the sale and service of alcoholic
beverages in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors
associated with alcohol consumption are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. For
on-sale licenses, the Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area using the
standards and definitions contained in the Business and Professions Code Section

by the State for high crime
Police Department
Recommendation
The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards
applicable to on-premises ABC licenses will mitigate potential impacts to
the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting
of a CUP.
The Police Department compares the number of crimes in the subject reporting district
to the number of crimes in reporting districts citywide. In keeping with the standard
used by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and Business and
Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district
has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in
all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its
recommendation.
As part of the application process, the Police Department has reviewed the calls for
service at the subject site for the past calendar year. After reviewing the types of calls
for service and taking into consideration the outdoor operations recently permitted for
such businesses, the Police Department has determined that the operational standards
and the conditions of approval for both the ABC license and the after-hours operations
will mitigate potential concerns regarding this application.
Public Notification and Community Outreach
Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and
State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 500-foot notification radius
map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. The subject site is part of the
Downtown Neighborhood Association. Staff has contacted the representatives of the
Downtown Neighborhood Association to ensure that they were notified of this project
and to identify any areas of concern. At the time this report was printed, no issues of
concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 1 - Existing Facilities). This exemption consists of the operation,
repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public
or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features,
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead
agency's determination. The project proposes to allow the operation of an ABC license
to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits at an existing bona-fide restaurant. Based on this
analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-67 will be filed for this
project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XXX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2021-10 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW THE
SALE OF BEER, WINE, AND DISTILLED SPIRITS FOR ON-PREMISES SALE AND CONSUMPTION AT EL INDIO BOTANAS Y CERVEZA RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 309 WEST THIRD STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows:
A. Oscar Olivares, business owner of El Indio Botanas y Cerveza Restaurant (“Applicant”), on behalf of Civic Center Realty, Inc. (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-10 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at an existing restaurant located at 309 West Third Street.
B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcohol for on-premises consumption.
C. On August 9, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-10.
D. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which
must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for CUP No. 2021-10 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at 309 West Third Street:
1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility, which will
contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or
community.
The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for on-premises consumption at the subject location will provide an ancillary service to the restaurant’s customers by
allowing them the ability to purchase alcoholic beverages with
their meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food related amenity. Operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control (“ABC”) license and conditions of
approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the
use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community.
8/9/2021
Planning Commission 1 –6
Resolution No. 2021-XXX
Page 2 of 9
2. That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the
particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.
The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for on-premises consumption at the subject location will
not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the vicinity because the operational standards applicable to the ABC license and conditions of approval will address potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. The granting of the CUP
will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses that may be
located nearby. The business is not proposing to modify any current operations. El Indio Botanas y Cerveza is in compliance with all applicable requirements of the SAMC related to operational standards.
3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area.
The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for on-premises consumption at the subject site will not
adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will
allow the restaurant to compete with other nearby eating establishments that offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. Moreover, the offering of additional alcoholic beverage choices will allow the
restaurant to be economically viable and compete with nearby
full-service eating establishments in Santa Ana and will contribute to the overall success of the City. The business is one of many that has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and by allowing the sale of additional alcoholic
beverage choices, it will provide the same opportunity to
become economically competitive as the surrounding businesses in the Downtown.
4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the SAMC for such
use.
The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine for on-premises consumption will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on a restaurant selling alcoholic beverages for on-premises
consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 of the SAMC. The
restaurant continues to operate as a full-service, bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Additionally, the restaurant
8/9/2021
Planning Commission 1 –7
Resolution No. 2021-XXX
Page 3 of 9
will utilize less than five (5) percent of the gross floor area for display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. Operational
standards will ensure the project remains in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations related to alcohol sales to ensure that the use does not impact neighboring properties or create an attractive nuisance.
5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use.
The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and
wine for on-premises consumption at the subject location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of CUP No. 2021-10 is consistent with several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land
Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the
City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of full-service eating establishments that provide alcoholic beverages as part of their menu offers additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore,
Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments
that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the proposed ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element
encourages development that is compatible with and
supporting of surrounding land uses. El Indio Botanas y Cerveza restaurant is located in the Downtown and its operation is compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or
private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving
negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The project proposes to allow the operation of an ABC license to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits at a bona-fide restaurant. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-67, will be filed for this project.
Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal,
equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought

City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action. Section 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public hearing, hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-10, as conditioned
in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, for the project located at 309 West

to ensure that the use does not impact neighboring properties
or create an attractive nuisance.
5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of
the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed

The proposed sale of distilled spirits in addition to beer and
wine for on-premises consumption at the subject location will
