I am reaching out to you, because I am the assigned case planner to an upgrade on a liquor license for Marisco's Hecter at 1208 E McFadden Avenue. I tried to contact you at(714) 497-8335, a phone number that was shared from the Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services team here in Santa Ana. However, I was unable to get through. Mariscos Hector submitted an application to upgrade the existing ABC liquor license. The upgrade would allow the sale of distilled spirits, in addition to existing beer and wine sales,for on-premises consumption. I am currently doing some research to ensure Mariscos Hector has been a good neighbor. Please let me know if you can connect over the phone with me tomorrow(3/16/23) or early next week. I hope to hear from you soon.

Mariscos Hectors ABC license request We at GREEN-MPNA oppose any spirits license approval for Mariscos Hectors at McFadden,for the following reasons: 1.The City of Santa Ana allows up to 7 permits in the area and there are 9 already existing. 2. SA Police found crime reporting is within the 20%threshold for high crime but recommended approval,thus disregarding the findings and the detrimental impact on the community. 3. We in the Madison Park area are saturated with such establishments in addition to marijuana dispensaries and we feel how these establishments are negatively affecting our community's health, safety, and welfare. 4. Kennedy Elementary is within 300 feet and the children will be able to feel the negative ramifications of the approval. 5. 1 personally sent an email and telephone call opposing it to Fernanda Arias,Assistant Planner, last month and that was not reflected on the report for city council review. We are asking you to NOT allow such establishments to flourish around any disadvantaged neighborhoods.There are other ways to improve the local economy and these requests for liquor license dispensing are detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the communities you are serving as elected officials.

As a concerned member of our community, I firmly believe that such a decision could have detrimental consequences for the welfare and safety of our neighborhood. Additionally, a petition circulated among the Madison Park neighborhoods and nearby communities, garnering 101 signatures from concerned residents. The petition served as a collective expression of opposition to Mariscos Hector Grill obtaining a type 47 license in Santa Ana, CA, representing the unified voice of the community. In light of these concerns, I kindly request that you carefully consider the potential negative consequences of granting Mariscos Hector Grill a Type 47 license. Our community's well-being, safety, and tranquility should be the utmost priority, and I implore you to make a decision that aligns with these principles. I respectfully urge you to deny Mariscos Hector Grill's application for a Type 47 license, in order to safeguard our community's best interests. Together, let us work towards a future where our neighborhoods are a safe haven for families, free from the burdens and risks associated with such licenses. Please reject Conditional Use Permit 2023-09.

As a resident of the Madison Park Neighborhood, I ask you to protect the public safety of the community and reject the conditional use permit 2023-09 for the following reasons. 1. The establishment is openly and publicly violating their type 41 ABC License. If you look them up on Instagram here: https://instagram.com/hectors_on_mcfadden?igshid=MzRIODBiNWFIZA==, they are openly promoting their "$10 Palomas" and "Cantaritos", alcoholic beverages that use Tequila as their base ingredient. The city should revoke their operational permit for disregarding the conditions of their permit. 2. This establishment promotes itself to the city council as a "Family Friendly" restaurant, but if you look them up on maps or google they appear as a "Bar" or "Cantina". Typically bars and cantinas are not for family or children, and if so, will this establishment be inviting in and serving alcohol to minors? We do not want a Culichi town incident in our neighborhood with drunken drivers and intoxicated minors. 3. The restaurant is 300 feet from Kennedy Elementary School, and less than 1,000 feet from Madison Elementary and Century High School. The establishment also shares a wall with a densely populated apartment complex, there are more apartments across the street, and there is a future park planned as well. 4. There is a variety of public safety issues and crime that have not been resolved in this shopping center, and allowing them to operate later and to sell hard licor will only add another burden to our communities. Issues include trash, public urination, loitering, graffiti, and last year there was a large brawl where someone was stabbed in the parking lot outside this restaurant. Last week someone was stabbed in front of Kennedy Elementary demonstrating how present these problems are in our community. It would be unjust for the community to have to live with an additional burden associated with more alcohol consumption. 5. The staff report states this promotes diverse types of commercial businesses in the area, but if approved it will be the 4th business in this shopping mall selling alcohol. 3 of them right next to each other. This looks like an unbalanced promotion of alcohol sales in our community with no regard for public safety. 6. In our October 2022 neighborhood association meeting, we asked Corporal Quijas what could be done about the issues at this shopping mall, and she said if the business owners do not want to file charges, PD can not intervene. It is clear the business owners have not resolved the loitering and the issues associated with it. Now it also appears as though the SAPD has no authority and is powerless to the will of the businesses. 7. A protected bike lane on Standard is in the future for the city, and Main Street is not too far away. We do not need more drunk drivers in our neighborhood or cars flying into barriers, 1 curbs, apartments, homes, or other businesses. The last thing the city needs is another death similar to the culichi town in Santa Ana. 8. Lastly, staff reported that they spoke to a total of 4 community leaders 4 before the planning commission meeting vote. I am disappointed staff was content moving forward with not even a percentage of the community being included. It is discouraging that staff promotes the goals of the general plan, but they continue to neglect meaningful community engagement, which is an essential component of the General Plan Update and SB 1000. There were almost as many stabbings in this vicinity last year as the number of people they spoke with in the same vicinity. Now it is the city council's opportunity to decide, and make the responsible choice to protect the public's safety. We hope for your support, and ask for you to reject conditional use permit 2023-09. Have a great weekend, 2 Orozco, Norma From: Orozco, Norma Sent: Monday, June 05, 2023 4:05 PM To: eComment Subject: RE: Mariscos Hectors Translation: I support Leonel Flores' petition for the benefit of the Madison community and surrounding neighborhoods. The reasons given are compelling to deny the license that Mariscos Hectors intends to obtain from you. The voice of the residents is louder than that of a growing business. It is evident that the needs of the community are the protection of you from risks of crime, alcoholism, among others. Your responsibility is to deny the request of Mariscos Hectors, otherwise you would be failing the trust of the vote you obtained at the time from your community. We don't need more alcohol outlets!

This restaurant and its ownership and management flagrantly violate the ABC laws concerning the sale of alcoholic beverages. The neighborhood adjacent to this establishment are well on record of not wanting more opportunities for people to become more intoxicated. There are too many restaurants in this location serving liquor, it is very close to a school and this operator is a bad actor. They are already serving hard liquor.........just look at their own advertising on social media. Need we say more?? Say NO to this applicant. For the safety of the residents, students,families and the drivers who traverse this area please deny this application. If anything they need to have their Beer&Wine License revoked.......not upgraded.

Enjoying a nice margarita with my food when I go to Mariscos would be nice. Not everyone enjoys beer or wine (as currently is the only option). They're a great restaurant, and they've been responsible stewards. A 47 license is requested by the community and customers like myself. Plus, it's justified they are granted the license as doing so will allow Mariscos, a small minority-owned business, to continue to grow and provide products (spirits) to the community in the area.
