The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-20 to allow for a Banquet Facility: 1. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community? The proposed banquet hall use will allow the Little Sparrow Cafe to remain competitive with other restaurants in the area that also offer private parties. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant that may be booked for private affairs. 2. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular • case be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity? Resolution No. 2012-09 Page 1 of 5 • The proposed banquet use will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because conditions have been placed on the restaurant that will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the late night use. 3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area? The proposed banquet hall use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to compete with other restaurants in the area that also allow private party events. Further, banquet hall use allows the restaurant to remain economically viable and contributes to the overall success of downtown Santa Ana. 4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use? As conditioned, the proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a restaurant operating after midnight pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any • specific plan of the City? The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan.

A restaurant operating in this zone contributes to the economic success of the downtown and the city as a shopping and dining destination. E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15301 Class 1 because it is an action by a regulatory agency to enforce a license, and will be in conformance with all city codes and requirements.
