EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Darian Radac with Novum Architecture, Inc. (applicant), on behalf of Spiros Politis (property owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2024-05, to develop an eating establishment (Tom’s Jr.) with a drive-through window service at an existing building located 1430 East Edinger Avenue. The applicant is making the request pursuant to Section 41-472.5(g) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), which permits eating establishments with drive-through window service subject to discretionary review and approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission. Staff is recommending approval of the request as the proposed project will reintroduce business activity on a lot with a vacant building, and provide additional services to residents, workers, and visitors in the area. Moreover, the project complies with the General Plan goals and policies as it seeks to preserve and improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods and districts through the promotion of a clean, safe, and creative environment. Lastly, the project will not negatively impact the surrounding community as the project has been designed to minimize impacts to adjacent land uses. DISCUSSION Project Description The applicant is proposing to establish a Tom’s Jr., a new eating establishment offering drive-through window services, at an existing commercial site previously developed with a standalone pad building occupied by an eating establishment, and situated adjacent to an existing commercial center. As part of the request, the applicant is also proposing to make various site improvements to bring the property into compliance with all applicable zoning code standards. The improvements include reduction in gross floor area of the existing commercial building from 3,060 square feet to 2,450 square feet (610-square-     CUP No. 2024-05 - Tom’s Jr. (1430 East Edinger Avenue) June 24, 2024 Page 2 4 2 7 7 foot difference), to accommodate the proposed drive-through lane; construction of a new trash enclosure; expansion of the walkway surrounding the building to accommodate a new 195 square foot outdoor patio area; reconfiguring of the parking lot to accommodate new landscape planters; new signage; removal of a non-conforming pole sign; as well as restriping of parking stalls. Additionally, the landscape planters along Grand Avenue and Edinger Avenue are to be increased in size to accommodate a ten- and eight-foot irrevocable dedication, respectively, and to provide for the minimum required yard area and ten-foot landscape strip, adjacent to the street. Table 1: Project and Location Information Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 1430 East Edinger Avenue – Ward 6 Nearest Intersection East Edinger Avenue and South Grand Avenue General Plan Designation Light Industrial (M1) Existing Zoning Designation General Commercial (GC) North Eating establishment with drive-thru service East Service station South Commercial center Surrounding Land Uses West Commercial center Property Size 0.51-acres (22,364 square feet) Existing Site Development The subject site is developed with a 3,060-square foot commercial building previously occupied by an eating establishment. Proposed Building Size 2,450 square feet. Use Permissions Allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP). Uses SAMC Section 41-472.5(g)Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-473 The project site is located on an independent parcel adjacent within an integrated commercial center with a shared driveway along Edinger Avenue, and a second driveway entrance along Grand Avenue. As proposed, the drive-through would be accessed primarily through the Edinger Avenue driveway entrance and would wrap around the building, parallel to Grand Avenue, starting at the south elevation and exiting back onto Edinger Avenue. Any vehicle traffic entering from the Grand Avenue driveway entrance will be deterred from entering the drive-through, through the installation of signage as well as a landscape planter that would provide a buffer between the drive-through lane and southern drive aisle. The site plan has been designed with these measures in place to ensure that there is no vehicle congestion, queuing, or circulation concerns. The drive-through lane would provide the minimum required eighty feet from the entry to the order point and eighty feet from the order point to the pickup window, pursuant to the SAMC stacking/queuing requirements. In addition to the site improvements, the applicant is also proposing to remodel the existing commercial building due to the reduction in square footage required to accommodate the proposed drive-through. The proposed floor plan would relocate the dining room along to     CUP No. 2024-05 - Tom’s Jr. (1430 East Edinger Avenue) June 24, 2024 Page 3 4 2 7 7 the west elevation, which would establish connectivity with the outdoor patio; and relocate the ordering counter, cooking line, kitchen and back of house area, storage/freezers and restrooms. The dining room would accommodate 47 customers. As part, of the remodel the building would be redesigned to feature a more contemporary architectural style and color palette, and would be painted grey, white, and black, with an orange accent color. In line with the contemporary design, the exterior would incorporate materials such as hardie board panels and metal finishes. The proposed restaurant and drive-through hours of operation would be Monday through Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. At this time, the applicant is not requesting after-hours (late night) operation, live entertainment, or alcohol sales for onsite consumption. The site would provide approximately 2,500 square feet of landscaping throughout the site and the proposed plant palette would consist of a high quality plant materials including trees, shrubs, palms, grasses, and groundcover. The proposed planter areas would be constructed along the northern, western, and southern site perimeters and would provide decorative screening and a buffer between the eating establishment and the adjacent, off- site land uses, in addition to being placed centrally within the proposed surface parking lot and adjacent to the proposed drive-through. Table 2 below provides a detailed comparison of the project’s compliance with the applicable land use and development standards. Table 2: Development Standards Standard Required by Light Industrial (M1) Zone Provided Front yard 10 feet minimum Complies: 10 feet (after dedications) Side yard (interior)0 feet minimum Complies; 67 feet, 5 inches Rear yard 0 feet minimum Complies; 61 feet, 10 inches Lot Size & Frontage 12,000 square feet and 100 feet Complies; 22,364 square feet and approximately 257 feet Building height 35 feet maximum Complies; 19 feet Parking 20 spaces minimum (8 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. restaurant) Complies; 21 spaces Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.)0.50 FAR maximum Complies; 0.22 FAR (2,450 square feet) Stacking Distance 160 feet; 80 feet to menu board and 80 feet to pick-up window Complies; 80 feet from the order point/ menu board to beginning of drive-through lane, 80 feet from pick-up window/pay window to the menu board Project Background The subject property was developed with a Yellow Basket restaurant in 1976, which remained in operation until December of 2022, when a new owner acquired the site. Since then, the property has been vacant and has been secured with temporary fencing, and is regularly maintained by the new owner.     CUP No. 2024-05 - Tom’s Jr. (1430 East Edinger Avenue) June 24, 2024 Page 4 4 2 7 7 On February 1, 2023, the applicant on behalf of the property owner submitted Development Project (DP) application No. 2023-04 for review and consideration by the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC). The applicant worked with City staff to address various concerns related to onsite circulation, the required landscape strip, and land dedication. In response to City concerns, the applicant ultimately made several site plan changes, with the final site plan design presented as part of this CUP request. Subsequently, the DP application was deemed complete on May 2, 2024, and the required entitlement applications were submitted May 6, 2024. The property owner is an experienced restaurant owner that owns five (5) other Tom’s Jr. locations in the City of Los Angeles, Lynwood, South Gate, Compton, and Norco. The proposed location would be the first location in Santa Ana and Orange County. Project Analysis Conditional Use Permit for Drive-Through Window Service Although eating establishments are permitted by right in the M1 zoning district, those with drive-through window service require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission, pursuant to Section 41-472.5 (g) of the SAMC. The M1 zoning district designation enables the applicant to submit the required CUP application for consideration by the Planning Commission to conditionally permit the proposed drive- through service. Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request for a CUP to allow drive-through window service, as it would provide an additional service to both workers in the vicinity and residents of the area. Additionally, the proposed Tom’s Jr. would generate new and permanent employment opportunities, contributing to the economic growth and stability of the City. By activating a previously underutilized property, the project would result in increased property and sales tax revenue, benefiting the City as a whole. Furthermore, the project site is located in a predominantly commercial area, making the proposed use compatible and non-conflicting with surrounding land uses. The proposed project includes site modifications to ensure compliance with all applicable development standards. These modifications include reintroducing landscaping in the parking lot and reducing the size of the existing commercial building to accommodate an eight- and ten-foot dedication, a 10-foot landscape planter, and a drive-through lane. Additionally, the drive though lane is designed in a manner that not only meets minimum stacking requirements but that would also minimize onsite circulation disruption and avoid creating off-site impacts to the community. Moreover, staff has determined that the proposed site plan provides adequate spaces for vehicles to maneuver through the project site and drive-through, with sufficient capacity to accommodate vehicle demands for the proposed project without disrupting drive aisles or on-site parking spaces.     CUP No. 2024-05 - Tom’s Jr. (1430 East Edinger Avenue) June 24, 2024 Page 5 4 2 7 7 The drive-through operation is also designed to generate minimal noise impacts, as the speaker boards are located towards Grand Avenue (east elevation). Any potential noise generated from the idling of vehicles or the drive-through speakers is not anticipated to impact sensitive uses, as the nearest residences are approximately 1,080 feet away to the east. Moreover, the site design will include 24-inch box trees throughout the site, palms, and shrubs planted along the eastern property line to create a visual buffer between the drive- through lane. Lastly, in the event that the drive-through lane experiences an influx of customers during peak hours, the recommended conditions of approval would ensure that the applicant establishes measures to facilitate taking orders and facilitates queuing circulation. General Plan Consistency The approval of the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC), as the proposed project is a commercial use in nature and will be situated in an established commercial area in which the proposed use would be compatible. Additionally, the proposed project would also be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, the project aligns with Land Use Element (LU) Goal LU-2 and Policies LU-2.2 and LU-2.6, which aims to provide a balance mix of land uses that meet the City’s diverse needs, capture local spending, offer a range of employment opportunities, and promote rehabilitation. The proposed project would provide for a new dining opportunity in the local area that would include an additional service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, which would promote local spending and offer employment opportunities. Furthermore, the applicant’s investment to rehabilitate the property would promote reinvestment in the surrounding area. The proposed improvements as part of the project would also be consistent with Goal LU- 3 and Policies LU-3.4 and 3.7, which seek to preserve and enhance the character of the existing commercial area, foster a safe and clean environment for the community and ensure that the scale and massing of the new development is compatible and harmonious. The applicant is proposing extensive site improvements that include reducing the size of the building, resulting in a building more compatible with City standards, mass, scale, and a building featuring a more enhanced design. Moreover, the project proposes landscaping improvements, which will feature a variety of plant materials including trees, palms, shrubs, and groundcover, which would further help enhanced the viability of the commercial site, would create a harmonious environment, and would help promote a clean and safe environment for Santa Ana’s residents, workers, and visitors. The project would also be consistent with the Economic Prosperity Element (EP), Goal EP-1 and Policy EP-1.2, which seeks to foster a dynamic local economy that provides and creates employment opportunities and expand the City’s efforts in achieving its full employment potential. The proposed request would allow the owner to establish a business and make improvements that would result in fostering a dynamic local economy,     CUP No. 2024-05 - Tom’s Jr. (1430 East Edinger Avenue) June 24, 2024 Page 6 4 2 7 7 by creating new employment opportunities through activating an underutilized property. This would in turn promote the fiscal stability and growth of the sales tax of the City as a whole. This would also be consistent with Policy EP-1.8, which promotes fiscal stability and growth of sales tax. Lastly, the project would be consistent with Goal EP-3 and Policies EP-3.7 and EP-3.8, which promotes a business friendly environment where businesses thrive, promotes a solution-based customer focus in order to facilitate additional development, and promotes a balance of community benefits. The project would provide for redevelopment of an existing underutilized vacant parcel, which would deter any illicit activity and encourage business operations at neighboring properties. Additionally, it would provide services to the community and additional dining options in a manner that is not anticipated to create on-site or off-site impacts to customers or the community, through careful site planning and operation practices. Moreover, the site improvements would help create a friendly business environment and help the overall commercial area enhance their business offerings and compete with nearby commercial centers, thus consistent with the general plan goals and policies. Public Notification and Community Outreach Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 8. The site is not located within an established Neighborhood Association. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised. 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). 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 establish an easting establishment with drive-through on a site previously utilized by an eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-32 will be filed for this project. ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACTS There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.     CUP No. 2024-05 - Tom’s Jr. (1430 East Edinger Avenue) June 24, 2024 Page 7 4 2 7 7 EXHIBIT(S) 1.

B. In 1976, the site was developed with a standalone commercial building occupied by an eating establishment without drive-thru operations, which remained in operation until December 2022. C. In December 2022, the Property Owner purchased the property and subsequently submitted Development Project (DP) application No. 2023-04 to the City on February 1, 2023. The DP application was deemed complete on May 2, 2024, and the required Conditional Use Permit application was submitted on May 6, 2024. D. Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-472.5(g) requires approval of a CUP for eating establishments with drive-through window service. E. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, the Planning Commission is authorized to review and approve the CUP for this project as set forth by the Santa Ana Municipal Code. F. On June 24, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for CUP No. 2024-05. G. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana has considered the information and determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant CUP No. 2024-05, for drive-through window service, have been established as required by SAMC Section 41-638. 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility, which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community.     Resolution No. 2024-XXX Page 2 of 6 The eating establishment with drive-through window service will provide a service, which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community as the additional drive-through window service would enable peoples working or residing in the surrounding area additional dining options that would be convenient and meet their needs. Additionally, as part of the request to establish a drive-through window service, the Applicant will remodel a currently vacant building, enhancing it with a contemporary design featuring hardie panels, black, gray, white, and orange accent paint colors, along with metal finishes. The remodel will include reducing the building's size from 3,060 square feet to 2,450 square feet to accommodate the required landscaping adjacent to the street (a minimum of ten feet) and an both an eight- and ten-foot dedication. The landscaped area will be improved with a variety of plants to create a buffer from the intersection, this contributing to the character of the surrounding area and promoting the general well-being of the community. 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 use would not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, but rather the intent of the proposed use is to provide an additional services to the community and to provide a convenient method for customers to enjoy takeout food. Additionally, the drive-through layout was designed in a manner that ensures safe onsite circulation by separating the southern drive aisle and drive-though lane. Signage would also be placed at the Grand Avenue entrance to discourage any drive-through access off Grand Avenue to ensure safety at the establishment, thus promoting the general wellbeing of persons visiting the site and the community. Moreover, the nearest residential uses are located approximately 1,080 feet to the east of the project site. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The drive-through will not adversely affect the economic stability or future economic development of properties in the surrounding area, as the site is currently vacant and closed off with temporary construction fencing. Approval of the subject request would allow the Property Owner to establish a new eating establishment in the city and reintroduce activity to the site. Additionally, the services offered and dinning opportunity stimulate commercial business that generates sales tax revenue for the City as well as and would generate new and permanent employment opportunities in favor of the economic growth and stability of the City.     Resolution No. 2024-XXX Page 3 of 6 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The use complies with the regulations and conditions in Chapter 41 including building heights, yards, parking and landscaping. A condition of approval has been added to the conditional use permit for a property maintenance agreement to be recorded against the property, which will ensure that the property and all improvements are properly maintained. Moreover, a separate condition of approval has been added to ensure that all landscaping is maintained evergreen, throughout the lifetime of the CUP. 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 approval of the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC), as the proposed project is a commercial use in nature and will be situated in an established commercial area in which the proposed use would be compatible. Additionally, the proposed project would also be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, the project aligns with Land Use Element (LU) Goal LU-2 and Policies LU- 2.2 and LU-2.6, which aims to provide a balance mix of land uses that meet the City’s diverse needs, capture local spending, offer a range of employment opportunities, and promote rehabilitation. The proposed project would provide for a new dining opportunity in the local area that would include an additional service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, which would promote local spending and offer employment opportunities. Furthermore, the Applicant’s investment to rehabilitate the property would promote reinvestment in the surrounding area. The proposed improvements as part of the project would also be consistent with Goal LU-3 and Policies LU-3.4 and 3.7, which seek to preserve and enhance the character of the existing commercial area, foster a safe and clean environment for the community and ensure that the scale and massing of the new development is compatible and harmonious. The Applicant is proposing extensive site improvements that include reducing the size of the building, resulting in a building more compatible with City standards, mass, scale, and a building featuring a more enhanced design. Moreover, the project proposes landscaping improvements, which will feature a variety of plant materials including trees, palms, shrubs, and groundcover, which would further help enhanced the viability of the commercial site, would create a harmonious environment, and would help promote a clean and safe environment for Santa Ana’s residents, workers, and visitors. The project would also be consistent with the Economic Prosperity Element (EP), Goal EP-1 and Policy EP-1.2, which seeks to foster a dynamic local economy that provides and creates employment opportunities and expand the City’s efforts in achieving its full employment potential. The proposed request would allow the owner     Resolution No. 2024-XXX Page 4 of 6 to establish a business and make improvements that would result in fostering a dynamic local economy, by creating new employment opportunities through activating an underutilized property. This would in turn promote the fiscal stability and growth of the sales tax of the City as a whole. This would also be consistent with Policy EP-1.8, which promotes fiscal stability and growth of sales tax. Lastly, the project would be consistent with Goal EP-3 and Policies EP-3.7 and EP-3.8, which promotes a business friendly environment where businesses thrive, promotes a solution-based customer focus in order to facilitate additional development, and promotes a balance of community benefits. The project would provide for redevelopment of an existing underutilized vacant parcel, which would deter any illicit activity and encourage business operations at neighboring properties. Additionally, it would provide services to the community and additional dining options in a manner that is not anticipated to create on-site or off-site impacts to customers or the community, through careful site planning and operation practices. Moreover, the site improvements would help create a friendly business environment and help the overall commercial area enhance their business offerings and compete with nearby commercial centers, thus consistent with the general plan goals and policies. Section 2. 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). 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 establish an easting establishment with drive-through on a site previously utilized by an eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-32 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 against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M.

It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the     Resolution No. 2024-XXX Page 5 of 6 defense of the Action. Section 4.
