Santa Ana Boulevard) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-19-MOD-1 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jeff Coffman, on behalf of Benchmark SA, doing business as (DBA) Benchmark (Applicant), is requesting approval of a modification to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2015-19 to upgrade an existing Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 41 (Beer and Wine) alcohol license to a Type 47 (Beer, Wine, and Distilled Spirits) license, and to expand its operations to a neighboring suite, for an existing eating establishment located at 601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard. If approved, CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 will replace and supersede previously approved CUP No. 2015-19, approved for a Type 41 (Beer and Wine) license for 601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard, Unit A. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption require approval of a CUP. Staff recommends approval of the application because the site is located within an existing commercially developed center intended for such commercial uses and is consistent with the objectives and policies of Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84), which envision a mixture of developments that situate commerce, work places, residences, and civic buildings within a walking distance of transit and one another. Additionally, the establishment is already licensed for on-premises consumption of beer and wine and has historically complied with City codes and regulations. Lastly, operational standards and proposed conditions of approval will ensure that the expanded operations and the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits will not negatively affect the surrounding community. DISCUSSION Project Description Benchmark occupies a 1,620-square-foot open air restaurant in a multi-tenant commercial site located at the northeast corner of Minter Street and Santa Ana Boulevard. CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 – Benchmark Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 2 4 9 7 2 The restaurant includes a 320-square-foot kitchen and 216-square-foot bar, and accommodates up to 46 patrons within the 1,594-square-foot outdoor dining area. The restaurant plans to expand its operations by incorporating into an 858-square-foot neighboring suite at 605 E. Santa Ana Boulevard, and upgrading their ABC license to a Type 47, allowing the sale of distilled spirits alongside beer and wine. The proposed work includes new bar counters and equipment, kitchen upgrades, plumbing updates, rooftop mechanical and electrical system enhancements, a proposed outdoor dining area, and interior wall openings that will combine 601 and 605 E. Santa Ana Boulevard into a single combined commercial space. No changes to the building’s square footage are proposed at this time. Following the proposed tenant improvements, the combined commercial space will total 2,988 square feet and accommodate up to 76 patrons, an increase of 30 from its current capacity. The sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will remain an ancillary service to its dining options, consistent with permitted uses under the Specific Development (SD) No. 84 zoning district. As noted in Exhibit 4, the designated alcohol storage area for beer and wine is currently located behind an existing bar area adjacent storage shelves, occupying approximately 107 square feet. As part of this request to modify the CUP and proposed tenant improvements, the alcohol storage area will be expanded into the new bar area and will add an additional 48 square feet of storage. This expansion will result in a combined alcohol storage area of approximately 155 square feet, which remains under five percent of the gross floor area of tenant space, as required by the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). The restaurant’s hours of operation will remain Monday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and no live entertainment or after-hours operations past 12:00 a.m. (midnight) are proposed at this time. Should the Applicant seek to provide on-site entertainment or extend operating hours, a separate entertainment permit and CUP would need to be approved pursuant to the Section 11-6 of the SAMC and Section 41-2007, Table 2A, of the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) zoning district.

Project Background The subject site consists of two commercial buildings (605 W. Santa Ana Boulevard, constructed in 1924 and 607 W. Santa Ana Boulevard, constructed in 1945), along with a duplex, and a detached residential unit at the rear. In 2013, Development Project Review (DP) No. 2013-13 was submitted to remodel a 2,000-square-foot commercial building, 1,065-square-foot two-story live work studio, a 1,150-square-foot duplex, and to install three shipping containers to operate as outdoor kiosks. In 2014, the three recycled shipping containers were converted into two commercial structures for a kitchen and bar use consisting of 536 square feet, with 1,594 square feet allocated for outdoor dining areas. On January 25, 2016, the Planning Commission approved CUP No. 2015-19 to allow a Type 41 ABC license (beer and wine) for on-premises consumption of beer and wine. On February 2, 2017, Knife & Glass was issued a Certificate of Occupancy for a restaurant South Mixed-Use Development West Religious Assembly Property Size 0.37 acres (16,000 sq. ft.) Item Information Existing Site Development The subject site contains a 2,257-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building, a 1,070 detached duplex, and a 1,336- square-foot detached residential unit with 12 off-street parking stalls. Commercial Unit Size 1,394 sq. ft. (floor area) and 1,696 sq. ft.

Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 4 4 9 7 2 use. From 2017 through 2019, Knife & Glass operated at 601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard, Unit A and in 2019 a COO was issued for a change of ownership to Benchmark, to operate a locally-based eating establishment. Benchmark has remained operating at the site since. In April of 2025, the Applicant submitted a CUP application to upgrade from a Type 41 ABC license to a Type 47, permitting the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, and for expanded operations. The tenant space addressed as 605 E. Santa Ana Boulevard was previously occupied by the restaurant “Gusto Italiano,” which was issued a COO in 2019. 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 for the sale and consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and has determined the proposed CUP will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. As a locally-based establishment, Benchmark provides a unique outdoor dining experience with an ancillary service to customers by offering a variety of alcoholic beverages with meals. Approval of the CUP modification will allow the restaurant to upgrade its existing Type 41 ABC license to a Type 47 license, enabling the sale of distilled spirits alongside beer and wine for on-premises consumption. The upgrade will help the establishment remain economically viable and compete with nearby full-service establishments offering similar services. The subject site is not located within immediate proximity to parks, playgrounds, or schools. The nearest religious institutions are Saint Joseph Church located at 727 N. Minter Street, approximately 170 feet to the north, and The Light of the World located at 512 E. Santa Ana Blvd, approximately 160 feet southwest. The site is located adjacent to single-family residences to the north and east within the Lacy Neighborhood, and located across the street from the Triada at the Station District, a mixed-use residential development. The close proximity of the eating establishment to the multi-family residential uses to the south, single-family to the north, and a religious facility to the west, is consistent with the objectives and policies of SD-84, to provide a mixture of development and open spaces that situates commerce, work places, residences and civic buildings within walking distance of transit and one another. Given that the site is located within a denser mixed-use community and is within close proximity of transit, commercial, and residential buildings, the project will contribute towards facilitating a mixed-use village CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 – Benchmark Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 5 4 9 7 2 environment as intended by SD-84. The property has no active code enforcement violations since Benchmark began operation in 2019, and the Police Department Analysis confirms no reported incidents of violent crimes between April 2024 through April 2025. Operational standards applicable to an ABC license and proposed conditions of approval will mitigate potential impacts and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. The site is located approximately 1,580 linear feet to the north from the nearest off-sale alcoholic retailer (Food 4 Less located at 315 E. First Street), 500 linear feet south of Saint Joseph Catholic School, and 1,000 linear feet northwest of Garfield Elementary School. The subject site is located in Census Tract No. 744.05 and is not deemed over concentrated by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. The census tract permits eight (8) on-site licenses and there are currently six (6) existing on-site licenses (five Type 41 and one Type 58), including Benchmark’s current Type 41 license. Moreover, recommended conditions of approval address public safety concerns through measures such as requiring that all alcohol be consumed within the property, installation of signage within exit areas enforcing this requirement, and that alcohol be dispensed into separate containers provided by the business operator. Additionally, to ensure ongoing community compatibility, staff recommends a condition of approval requiring a six-month review period for the Planning Division to review any impacts that may stem from the ABC license upgrade. During this period, the Applicant must demonstrate no sustained increase in service calls and/or police reports. The Applicant will be responsible for monitoring both patron and employee conduct on-site and in parking areas under their control to prevent disruptions to neighboring residents, property owners, and businesses. With these conditions, the CUP approval will safeguard nearby sensitive land uses. Lastly, adherence to operational standards applicable and the Property Maintenance Agreement will mitigate potential impacts, ensuring safety and quality of the overall site and ensure the upgrade will not negatively affect the surrounding community. General Plan Consistency The approval of the application will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Urban Neighborhood – Medium-Low (UN-30), which allows for the development of semi-urban villages that are well connected to schools, parks, and shopping centers. These areas are accessible by multiple modes of transportation, have lively and pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, and are designed to foster community interaction. Approval of this application would be consistent with several goals and polices of the General Plan, specifically Goals 2, 3, and 4 of the Land Use Element (LU), Goals 1 and 3 of the Economic Prosperity Element (EP), and Goals 1, 2, and 4 of the Urban Design Element (UD) as discussed below. CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 – Benchmark Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 6 4 9 7 2 Goal LU-2 encourages a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs, LU Policy 2.2 encourages a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities, and Policy 2.7 supports land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of business in Santa Ana. Approval of the CUP is consistent with Goal LU-2, Policy 2.2, and Policy 2.7 as it actively contributes to fostering land use decisions that promote the establishment, growth, and sustainability of business in Santa Ana. The approval of the request to upgrade to a Type 47 ABC license would allow the retention of a restaurant that has been an established business within Santa Ana. Additionally, the location of the existing restaurant will continue to provide for an added service to the dining experience for local residents and visitors of the surrounding area. The inclusion of a property maintenance agreement, conditions of approval, and site upgrades align with Goal LU-3 which encourages the preservation and improvement of the character and integrity of the existing neighborhoods and districts as well as Policy 3.7 of the LU which supports the promotion of a clean, safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana’s residents, workers, and visitors. Goal LU-4 and Policy 4.1 of the LU which promote a sustainable Santa Ana and mix of complementary uses and services are advanced by the CUP approval, which will provide an additional service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the economic viability of the area by promoting local spending, offering employment opportunities, and providing a safe workplace. In addition, the eating establishment is located within an existing commercial area and its operations will be compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses. Goal EP-1 supports fostering a dynamic local economy that provides and creates employment opportunities for all residents in the city. Through Policy 1.2 of the EP, the project strengthens and expands citywide business attraction efforts in order to achieve the city’s full employment potential. The project proposal includes the expansion and continued investment into the site that will increase the number of onsite employment opportunities. Goal EP-3 promotes a business-friendly environment where businesses thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and opportunities. Moreover, Policy 3.4 of the EP encourages the city to maintain flexible and up-to-date land use regulations that are responsive to changing business trends, best practices, technological advancements, and community needs. The project proposes increasing the amount of outdoor seating area in response to changing business trends within the restaurant industry and to remain competitive within the marketplace with a more unique outdoor dining experience. Goal UD-1 supports improvement of the physical character and livability of the city to promote a sense of place, positive community image, and quality environment. Policy 1.5 of the UD encourages community interaction through the development and enhancement CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 – Benchmark Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 7 4 9 7 2 of plazas, open space, people places, and pedestrian connections with the public realm. The proposed project would facilitate enhancement of the public realm through providing a space for customer social interaction with ease of access to heavier pedestrian trafficked areas. Goal UD-2 encourages the improvement of the built environment through sustainable development that is proportional and aesthetically related to its setting. Moreover, Policy 2.10 of the UD promotes sustainable development through the use of drought-tolerant landscaping, permeable hardscape surfaces, and energy sufficient building design and construction. The proposed project expands the square footage of outdoor dining area and use of the site while maintaining existing building square footage and high-quality landscaped areas that are visible to public areas. Police Department Analysis The Police Department has reviewed this request and has no concerns, as the operational standards applicable to on-premises ABC licenses will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community. The Police Department reviews such 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 23948.4(c)(2), which are also utilized by ABC. This section defines “reported crimes” as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by ABC 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. The Police Department has reviewed the Applicant’s request for a Type 47 license upgrade and has no concerns, as the operational standards applicable to the ABC license and conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community. The Police Department carefully evaluated a 500-foot radius for the site’s vicinity and determined that there has been approximately 176 service calls in the project site’s vicinity between the one-year period of April 8, 2024, and April 8, 2025. Of those 176 calls, forty (40) resulted in reports taken in. None of the service calls received were due to violent crimes and none were in relation to Benchmark. The reports were a result CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 – Benchmark Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 8 4 9 7 2 of domestic violence service calls, missing/found persons calls, and weapon related calls. According to the Police Department, the number of calls for service is commensurate with the 500-foot radius. Based on its review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 124; ranked 69 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (68th percentile). Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is not within the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime. Police Department Recommendation As part of the review approval process, this application was analyzed by the Santa Ana Police Department. The Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. The Police Department is satisfied with the operational standards applicable to the on-premise Type 47 ABC license. The Police Department concludes that the conditions set forth will mitigate any potential negative impact to the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting of the modification to the existing CUP. 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 6. The site is located within the Lacy Neighborhood Association and located within 1,000 feet of the French Park Neighborhood Association. To ensure thorough community outreach, notices were sent to the Lacy Neighborhood Association to identify any areas of concerns due to the proposed application request. Moreover, staff contacted the Lacy and French Park neighborhood associations, respectively, and at the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 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 upgrade of an existing alcoholic beverage control license to sell alcoholic CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1 – Benchmark Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard) May 12, 2025 Page 9 4 9 7 2 beverages at an existing bona-fide eating establishment, with negligible or no expansion of the existing use proposed, which is proposed to be less than 10,000 square feet and within an area with access to all public services and facilities, and is not located within an environmentally sensitive area. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2015-109, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1. Resolution 2.

SANTA ANA BOULEVARD (APN: 398-301-21). 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. Jeff Coffman, representing Benchmark SA doing business as (DBA) Benchmark (“Applicant”), is requesting approval for modification to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2015-19-MOD-1 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premise consumption, through a Type 47 license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”), and to expand its operations to a neighboring suite, at an existing eating establishment located at 601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard (“Project”). B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on- premise consumption. C. On January 25, 2016, the City of Santa Ana Planning Commission held a public hearing for the proposal of the on-premise sale of alcoholic beverages at 601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard, Unit A. The Planning Commission unanimously approved CUP No. 2015-19 to allow an ABC Type 41 license (beer and wine). D. In April 2025, the Applicant submitted a CUP application to upgrad e to a Type 47, permitting the sale and on-premises consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, and to expand its operations to a neighboring suite addressed as 605 E. Santa Ana Boulevard. E. The eating establishment meets all required standards specified by Section 41-196 of the SAMC and ABC for the sale of alcoholic beverages for Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 2 of 14 on-premises consumption by containing a full kitchen and a menu of hot and cold food items for purchase. F. On May 12, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2015-19-MOD-1. G. 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. 2015-19-MOD-1 to allow the on- premises sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages (Type 47 license) at an existing eating establishment located at 601 E. Santa Ana Boulevard. 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community. The restaurant is seeking to expand its current operations by proposing to upgrade its existing Type 41 ABC license and sell distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine, through a Type 47 ABC license. The addition of distilled spirits for on- premise consumption at this location will provide an ancillary service to the eating establishment’s customers by allowing them to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an eating establishment with an additional and complementary food related amenity. The upgrade will also help the establishment remain economically viable and compete with nearby full-service establishments offering similar services. Operational standards applicable to the 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. 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 alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this 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 alcoholic beverage control license and conditions of approval will address any potential negative or adverse impacts that may be created by the use. Moreover, the subject site is not located within immediate proximity to parks, playgrounds, or schools. The nearest religious institutions are Saint Joseph Church located at 727 N. Minter Street, approximately 170 feet to the north, and The Light of Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 14 the World located at 512 E. Santa Ana Blvd., approximately 160 feet southwest. The site is located adjacent to single -family residences to the north and east within the Lacy Neighborhood, and located across the street from the Triada at the Station District, a mixed-use residential development. The close proximity of the establishment to the residential uses and religious facility is consistent with the objectives and policies of SD-84, to provide a mixture of development and open spaces that situates commerce, work places, residences and civic buildings within walking distance of transit and one another. Given that the site located within a denser mixed-use community and is within close proximity of transit, commercial, and residential buildings, the project will contribute towards facilitating a mixed-use village environment as intended by SD-84. The subject site is located in Census Tract No. 744.05 and is not deemed over concentrated by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. The census tract permits eight (8) on-site licenses and there are currently six (6) existing on- site licenses (five Type 41 and one Type 58), including Benchmark’s current Type 41 license. Moreover, the property has no active Code Enforcement violations since Benchmark began operation in 2019, and the Police Department Analysis confirms no reported incidents of violent crimes between April 2024 through April 2025. Operational standards applicable to an ABC license and proposed conditions of approval will mitigate potential impacts and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. Lastly, the Applicant will be responsible for monitoring both patron and employee conduct on-site and in parking areas under their control to prevent disruptions to neighboring residents, property owners, and businesses. With these conditions, the CUP approval will safeguard nearby sensitive land uses. Adherence to operational standards applicable and the Property Maintenance Agreement will mitigate potential impacts, ensuring safety and quality of the overall site and ensure the upgrade will not negatively affect the surrounding community. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed CUP modification will not adversely affect the Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 4 of 14 economic stability of the area. The expansion of the business to service more patrons and to serve distilled spirits, will instead allow the eating establishment to better compete with other nearby eating establishments that offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. The alcohol license will benefit the surrounding area, as the reinvestment on the commercial site will increase economic activity. Moreover, including the sale of distilled spirits will allow the eating establishment to remain economically viable and competitive, thereby contributing to the overall success of the City. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed Project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on an eating establishment selling alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 of the SAMC. The facility will be maintained as a bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Additionally, the eating establishment will utilize less than five percent (5%) of the gross floor area for display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. The 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 approval of the application will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Urban Neighborhood – Medium-Low (UN-30), which allows for the development of semi-urban villages that are well connected to schools, parks, and shopping centers. These areas are accessible by multiple modes of transportation, have lively and pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, and are designed to foster community interaction. Approval of this application would be consistent with several goals and polices of the General Plan, specifically Goals 2, 3, and 4 of the Land Use Element (LU), Goals 1 and 3 of the Economic Prosperity Element (EP), and Goals 1, 2, and 4 of the Urban Design Element (UD) as discussed below. Goal LU-2 encourages a balance of land uses that meet Santa Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 5 of 14 Ana’s diverse needs, LU Policy 2.2 encourages a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities, and Policy 2.7 supports land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of business in Santa Ana. Approval of the CUP is consistent with Goal LU-2, Policy 2.2, and Policy 2.7 as it actively contributes to fostering land use decisions that promote the establishment, growth, and sustainability of business in Santa Ana. The approval of the request to upgrade to a Type 47 ABC license would allow the retention of a restaurant that has been an established business within Santa Ana. Additionally, the location of the existing restaurant will continue to provide for an added service to the dining experience for local residents and visitors of the surrounding area. The inclusion of a property maintenance agreement, conditions of approval, and site upgrades align with Goal LU-3 which encourages the preservation and improvement of the character and integrity of the existing neighborhoods and districts as well as Policy 3.7 of the LU which supports the promotion of a clean, safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana’s residents, workers, and visitors. Goal LU-4 and Policy 4.1 of the LU which promote a sustainable Santa Ana and mix of complementary uses and services are advanced by the CUP approval, which will provide an additional service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the economic viability of the area by promoting local spending, offering employment opportunities, and providing a safe workplace. In addition, the eating establishment is located within an existing commercial area and its operations will be compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses. Goal EP-1 supports fostering a dynamic local economy that provides and creates employment opportunities for all residents in the city. Through Policy 1.2 of the EP, the project strengthens and expands citywide business attraction efforts in order to achieve the city’s full employment potential. The project proposal includes the expansion and continued investment into the site that will increase the number of onsite employment opportunities. Goal EP-3 promotes a business-friendly environment where businesses thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and opportunities. Moreover, Policy 3.4 of the EP encourages the city to maintain flexible and up-to-date land use regulations that are responsive to changing business trends, best practices, technological advancements, and community needs. The Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 6 of 14 project proposes increasing the amount of outdoor seating area in response to changing business trends within the restaurant industry and to remain competitive within the marketplace with a more unique outdoor dining experience. Goal UD-1 supports improvement of the physical character and livability of the city to promote a sense of place, positive community image, and quality environment. Policy 1.5 of the UD encourages community interaction through the development and enhancement of plazas, open space, people places, and pedestrian connections with the public realm. The proposed project would facilitate enhancement of the public realm through providing a space for customer social interaction with ease of access to heavier pedestrian trafficked areas. Goal UD-2 encourages the improvement of the built environment through sustainable development that is proportional and aesthetically related to its setting. Moreover, Policy 2.10 of the UD promotes sustainable development through the use of drought-tolerant landscaping, permeable hardscape surfaces, and energy sufficient building design and construction. The proposed project expands the square footage of outdoor dining area and use of the site while maintaining existing building square footage and high-quality landscaped areas that are visible to public areas. 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 upgrade of an existing alcoholic beverage control license to sell alcoholic beverages at an existing bona-fide eating establishment, with negligible expansion of the existing use proposed, which is proposed to be less than 10,000 square feet and within an area with access to all public services and facilities, and is not located within an environmentally sensitive area . As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2015-109, 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 Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 7 of 14 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 defense of the Action. Section 4.

Seventeenth Street) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-08 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY German Nunez with Costa Azul 17th St, Inc. (Applicant), on behalf of Tawil Investments (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2025-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption, through a Type 47 license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), at an existing eating establishment located at 800 W. Seventeenth Street. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments seeking to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption require approval of a CUP. Staff recommends approval of the request because the site is located within the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district, which is intended for such uses; the site is located along Seventeenth Street, which is developed with similar commercial uses; and the site is not adjacent to sensitive land uses such as schools/playgrounds, religious institutions, or parks. Additionally, the establishment is already licensed for on-premises consumption of beer and wine under a Type 41 license. Lastly, operational standards and proposed conditions of approval will ensure that the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on- premises consumption will not negatively affect the surrounding community. DISCUSSION Project Description Costa Azul occupies a 5,390-square-foot building, which accommodates up to 167 patrons within the indoor dining area. It currently operates Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight). The applicant is requesting to upgrade their existing beer and wine license (Type 41) to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits (Type 47) for on- premises consumption. All alcoholic beverages will be stored and displayed at the service station and within a storage area in the kitchen. The restaurant will contain an overall alcohol storage area of 22 square feet, which is less than five percent of the gross floor area of the tenant space as allowed by Section 41-196(g)(25) of the SAMC. CUP No. 2025-08 – Costa Azul On-Sale of Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (800 W. Seventeenth Street) May 12, 2025 Page 2 4 9 3 9 The sale of alcoholic beverages for after-hours operations or live entertainment are not being requested at this time. Should the applicant seek to sell alcoholic beverages between 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., a separate CUP will be required in accordance with Section 41-196(g)(3) of the SAMC. In addition, Exhibit 1 of the staff report includes a condition requiring the applicant to submit an entertainment permit application for live and amplified music pursuant to Section 11-6 of the SAMC. Table 1: Project and Location Information Table 2: Operational Standards Standards Permissible by SAMC Provided Eating Establishment Type Bona-Fide Bona-Fide Hours of Operation for ABC Sales 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight), unless extended by a separate after-hours CUP Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight) Window Display 25% of Window Coverage Complies Alcohol Storage and Display 5% of G.F.A.0.4% of G.F.A. Project Background The subject site was developed in 1979 with a 5,390-sqare-foot eating establishment that originally was tenanted by Sizzler. In 2006, the property underwent interior tenant improvements and applied for a certificate of occupancy to accommodate a new eating establishment, Costa Azul. Final inspections for the interior tenant improvement permits and the certificate of occupancy for Costa Azul were completed in 2007. Costa Azul, the current tenant, has continuously occupied the site since 2007. Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 800 W. Seventeenth Street – Ward 5 Nearest Intersection Seventeenth Street and Flower Street General Plan Designation General Commercial (GC) Zoning Designation Community Commercial (C1) North Retail and Medical Office East Retail, Service Uses, and Medical Office South Multi-Family ResidentialSurrounding Land Uses West Eating Establishment Property Size 0.753 acres (32,807 sq. ft.) Existing Site Development The subject site contains an existing 5,390 sq. ft. commercial building, 52 parking spaces, and 4,566 sq. ft. of landscaped area. Tenant Size 5,390 sq. ft. Use Permissions Allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP) Uses Section 41-196(a) of the SAMCZoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards Section 41-196(g) of the SAMC Census Tract No.751 Census Tract and ABC License Information No. of Allowed and Existing Licenses (on- sale) 13 Allowed & 4 Existing CUP No. 2025-08 – Costa Azul On-Sale of Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (800 W. Seventeenth Street) May 12, 2025 Page 3 4 9 3 9 As part of the City’s American Rescue Plan (ARPA), which took place from 2021 through 2024, Costa Azul received a grant to revitalize the site and offer outdoor dining opportunities to its customers. The work approved as part of ARPA was finalized in 2021. At this time, the outdoor dining area is not included as part this CUP request and a CUP modification will be required if the applicant seeks to serve alcohol in an outdoor dining area in the future. If this CUP request is approved, the restaurant will offer beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption in the indoor dining area only. In addition to the location at 800 W. Seventeenth Street, the Applicant owns and operates a second Costa Azul restaurant located at 2401 S. Fairview Street. The Fairview Street location currently holds a Type 47 ABC license to serve beer, wine, and distilled spirits, which was approved through CUP No. 2006-05 in May 2006. The Fairview Street location does not have any open Code Enforcement cases and has operated without issues related to the Type 47 ABC license. 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 for the sale and consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits and has determined the proposed CUP will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Costa Azul provides a unique dining experience to its patrons by offering full services and a menu that is catered to families and individuals. The approval of CUP No. 2025-08 will provide an ancillary service to customers by offering a variety of beer, wine, and distilled spirits with meals. This approval will allow Costa Azul to upgrade its existing Type 41 ABC license to a Type 47 license, enabling the sale of distilled spirits alongside beer and wine for on-premises consumption. The upgrade will help the establishment remain economically viable and compete with nearby full-service establishments offering similar services. Costa Azul has been an established business in Santa Ana for nearly 20 years, and the granting of the CUP will not negatively impact any nearby sensitive land uses. The subject site is not located within immediate proximity to any playgrounds, schools, or religious institutions. The nearest school is Frances E. Willard Intermediate School which is located approximately 800 linear feet (0.15 miles) southeast. Additionally, the nearest religious institution, Saint Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church at 1510 N. Parton Street, is located approximately 520 linear feet (0.1 miles) south. Although the property is near multi-family residences, the building Costa Azul occupies is sited along Seventeenth CUP No. 2025-08 – Costa Azul On-Sale of Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (800 W. Seventeenth Street) May 12, 2025 Page 4 4 9 3 9 Street, maintaining a 100-foot buffer from the residential units, with a parking area and a public alley providing additional separation. The project is located within the General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation, which supports the development and continued operation of recreational, cultural, entertainment, employment, and educational opportunities near established residential neighborhoods. This designation aligns with Costa Azul’s operations and the proposed upgrade to their liquor license. In addition, operational standards applicable to an ABC license and proposed conditions of approval will mitigate potential impacts and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. Lastly, the site is located in Census Tract No. 751, which allows a maximum of 13 on- premises alcohol licenses, while there are currently four active licenses per ABC. Per ABC, an “undue concentration” would occur if more than 13 on-premises licenses are within this census tract, which for this request is not applicable. For reference, staff has provided Exhibit 6 outlining the current licenses within Census Tract No. 751. General Plan Consistency The approval of the proposed project will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC), which allows for the development of highly visible and accessible shopping opportunities along arterial corridors. The proposed request would provide an added amenity and would promote a land use that enhances the City’s economic fiscal viability and mitigates any potential impacts to the surrounding community. Furthermore, approval of this application would be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, specifically Goals 1 and 2 of the Land Use (“LU”) Element and Goal 3 of the Economic Prosperity (“EP”) Element as discussed below. Goal LU-1 encourages a land use plan that improves the quality of life and respects our existing community. Moreover, Policy 1.1 of the LU encourages compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles. As a bona-fide eating establishment with ancillary alcohol sales, Costa Azul would provide a service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby improving the quality of life. Specifically, Costa Azul is dedicated to providing competitively priced, high-quality dining experiences. As such, the request to upgrade the Type 41 ABC license to a Type 47 will be compatible with the surrounding businesses as it supports the commercial environment by providing additional options and ancillary beer, wine, and distilled spirit selection. Goal LU-2 encourages a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs and Policy 2.7 supports land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of businesses in Santa Ana. The proposed use is consistent with Goal LU-2 and Policy 2.7 as it actively contributes to fostering land use decisions that promote the establishment, growth, and sustainability of business in Santa Ana. The approval of the request to upgrade to Type 47 ABC license would allow the retention of a restaurant that has been an established business within Santa Ana for nearly 20 years. Additionally, the CUP No. 2025-08 – Costa Azul On-Sale of Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (800 W. Seventeenth Street) May 12, 2025 Page 5 4 9 3 9 location of the existing restaurant will continue to provide for an added service to the dining experience for local residents and visitors of the surrounding area. Goal EP-3 promotes a business-friendly environment where businesses thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and opportunities. Policy 3.8 encourages a balance of fiscal and qualitative community benefits when making land use decisions. The proposed request would be consistent with Goal EP-3 and Policy 3.8, as it provides for an added service at an existing bona-fide eating establishment and promotes a use that would provide services to the community and visitors. Moreover, the proposed use is anticipated to improve economic growth by generating additional sales tax revenue. This additional revenue would improve the financial health of the business itself and contribute to the broader economic sustainability of the City. Lastly, the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption at this site will provide an additional site in Santa Ana where residents and visitors can have a dining experience with ancillary beer, wine, and distilled spirit sales. Police Department Analysis The Police Department has reviewed this request and has no concerns, as the operational standards applicable to on-premises ABC licenses will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community. The Police Department reviews such 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-premises licenses, the Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained in the Business and Professions Code Section 23948.4(c)(2), which are also utilized by ABC. This section defines “reported crimes” as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by ABC 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 applicant’s request for sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption and has no prejudicial concerns, as the operational standards applicable to the ABC license and proposed conditions of approval will mitigate the potential impacts to the surrounding community. The Police Department carefully evaluated a 500-foot radius for the site’s vicinity and determined that there have been approximately 376 service calls in the project site’s vicinity since March 17, 2024. Of those 376 calls, 53 resulted in reported incidents CUP No. 2025-08 – Costa Azul On-Sale of Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (800 W. Seventeenth Street) May 12, 2025 Page 6 4 9 3 9 with none taken that attributed to the location in question. The reports were a result of impounded/stored vehicles, vandalism, domestic violence, malicious mischief, and petty theft. According to the Police Department, the number of calls for service is commensurate with the 500-foot radius, and it is not anticipated that approval of the requested CUP will contribute to or exacerbate these statistics. Based on its review, the Police Department is satisfied with proposed operational standards and conditions and does not object to the granting of the CUP. Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 164; ranked 7 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (6th percentile). Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is within the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime. Police Department Recommendation As part of the review approval process, this application was analyzed by the Santa Ana Police Department. Based on its review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. Although the property falls within the 20-percentile high crime threshold, the proposed operations do not contribute to the overall crime of the area. The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards applicable to the on-premise Type 47 ABC license and conclude that the conditions set forth will mitigate any potential negative impact to the surrounding community and, therefore, does not oppose the granting of a CUP. 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 7. The site is located within the boundaries of the Willard neighborhood, and adjacent to the Floral Park, West Floral Park, and Washington Square neighborhoods. Notices were sent to the aforementioned neighborhood associations and their representatives were contacted to identify any areas of concern due to the proposed application request. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 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) of the CEQA Guidelines. 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 sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption CUP No. 2025-08 – Costa Azul On-Sale of Beer, Wine, & Distilled Spirits (800 W. Seventeenth Street) May 12, 2025 Page 7 4 9 3 9 at an existing bona-fide eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-26, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBITS 1. Resolution 2. Vicinity Zoning and Aerial View 3. Site Photos 4. Site Plan 5. Floor Plan 6.

SEVENTEENTH STREET (APN: 398-571-04) 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. German Nunez with Costa Azul 17th St Inc. (“Applicant”), on behalf of Tawil Investments (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. 2025-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption, through a Type 47 license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), at an existing eating establishment located at 800 W. Seventeenth Street (“Project”). B. Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on- premises consumption. C. The eating establishment meets all required standards specified by Section 41-196 of the SAMC and the ABC for the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption by containing a full kitchen and a menu of hot and cold food items for purchase. D. On May 12, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2025-08. E. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to Section 41-638 of the SAMC, have been established for CUP No. 2025-08 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on- premises consumption at an existing eating establishment located at 800 W. Seventeenth Street. 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. 2025-XX Page 2 of 15 The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at this location will provide an ancillary service to customers by offering a variety of alcoholic beverages with meals. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an eating establishment with an additional and complementary food related amenity, in an area of the City designated by the General Plan for commercial activities. Operational standards applicable to the 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. 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 sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at this 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 any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. The subject site is not located within immediate proximity to any playgrounds, schools, or religious institutions. The nearest school is Frances E. Willard Intermediate School, and it is approximately 800 linear feet (0.15 miles) southeast. Additionally, the nearest religious institution, Saint Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church at 1510 N. Parton Street, is located approximately 520 linear feet (0.1 miles) south. Although the property is near multi-family residences, Costa Azul is situated closer to Seventeenth Street, maintaining a 100-foot buffer from the residential units, with a public alley providing additional separation. The Project is located in the General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation, which supports the development and continued operation of recreational, cultural, entertainment, employment, and educational opportunities near established residential neighborhoods. This designation aligns with Costa Azul’s operations and the proposed upgrade to their liquor license. Additionally, the site is located along Seventeenth Street, which is developed with similar commercial uses. Moreover, the operational standards applicable to an ABC license and proposed 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. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 15 The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area. This approval will allow Costa Azul to upgrade its existing ABC Type-41 license to a Type-47 license, enabling the sale of distilled spirits alongside beer and wine for on-premises consumption. The upgrade will help the establishment remain economically viable and compete with other nearby full-service establishments offering a full selection of alcoholic beverages, thereby contributing to the overall success of the City. The alcohol license for on-premises sale and consumption will benefit the surrounding area, as the reinvestment on the site will increase economic activity in the area. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on an eating establishment selling alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption pursuant to Section 41- 196(g) of the SAMC. The facility will be maintained as a bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Additionally, the eating establishment will utilize no more than five percent (5%) of the gross floor area for display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. In addition, 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 approval of the proposed Project will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC), which allows for the development of highly visible and accessible shopping opportunities along arterial corridors. The proposed request would provide an added amenity and would promote a land use that enhances the City’s economic fiscal viability and mitigates any potential impacts to the surrounding community. Furthermore, approval of this application would be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, specifically Goals 1 and 2 of the Land Use (“LU”) Element and Goal 3 of the Economic Prosperity (“EP”) Element as discussed below. Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 4 of 15 Goal LU-1 encourages land use plans that improve the quality of life and respects our existing community. Moreover, Policy 1.1 of the LU encourages compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles. As bona-fide eating establishment with ancillary alcohol sales, Costa Azul would provide a service to Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby improving the quality of life. Specifically, Costa Azul is dedicated to providing competitively priced, high-quality dining experiences. As such, the request to upgrade the ABC Type-41 license to a Type-47 will be compatible with the surrounding businesses as it supports the commercial environment by providing additional options and ancillary beer, wine, and distilled spirit selection. Goal LU-2 encourages a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs and Policy 2.7 supports land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of businesses in Santa Ana. The proposed use is consistent with Goal LU-2 and Policy 2.7 as it actively contributes to fostering land use decisions that promote the establishment, growth, and sustainability of business in Santa Ana. The approval of the request to upgrade to ABC Type-47 license would allow the retention of a restaurant that has been an established business within Santa Ana for nearly 20 years. Additionally, the location of the existing restaurant will continue to provide for an added service to the dining experience for local residents and visitors of the surrounding area. Goal EP-3 promotes a business-friendly environment where businesses thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and opportunities. Policy 3.8 encourages a balance of fiscal and qualitative community benefits when making land use decisions. The proposed request would be consistent with Goal EP-3 and Policy 3.8, as it provides for an added service at an existing bona -fide eating establishment and promotes a use that would provide services to the community and visitors. Moreover, proposed use is an ticipated to improve economic growth by generating additional sales tax revenue. This additional revenue would improve the financial health of the business itself and contribute to the broader economic sustainability of the City. Lastly, the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption at this site will provide an additional site in Santa Ana where residents and visitors can have a dining experience with ancillary beer, wine, and distilled spirit sales. 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) of the CEQA Guidelines.

The project proposes to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-premises consumption at an existing eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-26, will be filed for this project. Section 3.

CIP Fiscal Year 2025-2026 May 12, 2025 Page 2 5 0 3 3 The proposed FY 25-26 CIP focuses on implementation of rehabilitation for arterial streets in order to maximize the City’s previous investments in these facilities, as well as traffic improvements aimed at enhancing the synchronization, safety, and mobility of the community at large. Other capital enhancements currently pending supplemental funding requests for community enjoyment of recreation and open space, including several park and municipal facility improvements. In previous years, over $1 million in CDBG funding was allocated for the rehabilitation of residential streets as identified by the City’s Pavement Management System, however; this year one street segment will be completed based on amount awarded. The work in FY 25-26 will focus on Cedar Street from Occidental Street to Edinger Avenue. The Water and Sewer enterprise is not currently allocating any new CIP funding in this budget action. Their Division currently has over $37 million in active sewer and facility construction improvements ongoing to enhance and maintain the collection and conveyance of all wastewater to the region’s treatment plant in a sanitary and environmentally conscious manner. In the selection of projects for the CIP, the primary goal is to ensure consistency with the Strategic Plan, the Mobility Element of the City’s General Plan, and other elements including Community, Economic Prosperity, Public Services, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, Safety, Land Use, Historic Preservation, and Urban Design. The City’s General Plan, having been prepared in accordance with the regional Master Plan of Arterial Highways, provides the basis for compliance with the Measure M2 funding eligibility requirements as well as funding for other infrastructure improvements. Overall, the FY 25-26 Capital Improvement Program identifies over $51 million in capital improvements citywide. Continuing planning efforts to ensure appropriate investment in our infrastructure and facilities, the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program includes project allocations totaling over $171 million through Fiscal Year 2026-2032. The proposed Seven-Year CIP aims to preserve and improve basic infrastructure, maximizing the useful life of capital investments, identifies future needs, and improves financial planning. The Capital Improvement Program will be presented to the City Council on June 3, 2025, and will be considered for adoption at a public hearing on June 17, 2025.
