Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -46 as conditioned.
Request of Applicant
Brett Engstrom, representing Housing Foods America Corporation, is requesting approval of a
conditional use permit for a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to allow the on-
premise sale and consumption of beer and wine at a new restaurant, Curry House.
Establishments that sell alcoholic beverages require
41 -196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).
Project Location and Site Description
a conditional use permit pursuant to Section
The Curry House restaurant is located within an existing multi - tenant commercial center at the
northeast corner of Main Street and Memory Lane, within the overall City Place mixed use
development project. The existing commercial center is approximately 5.74 acres in size and
contains 57,100 square feet of building area, as constructed in 2008.
The City Place commercial area includes four buildings with 12 tenant spaces, occupied by a
grocery store and a variety of service and restaurant uses. The Curry House restaurant beer and
wine license is proposed at 131 East Memory Lane and includes a 2,187 square foot tenant space.
A total of 410 on -site parking spaces are provided for a prescribed mixture of restaurant and retail
uses for the center. The project site is surrounded by live /work lofts and multiple - family residential to
the north and east, office and Santiago Park to the south, and commercial to the west (Exhibits 1, 2
and 3).

Proiect Description
The Curry House restaurant is requesting approval for a new Type 41 ABC license to allow the on-
premise sale of beer and wine at the new eating establishment. Specializing in Japanese -style curry
and spaghetti, the restaurant will have approximately 50 seats within its 2,187 square foot space. The
on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages to customers is intended to provide a service ancillary to the
primary restaurant use, The proposed hours of operation for the restaurant are seven days per week,
11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday and
Saturdays.
The storage and display of alcoholic beverage will be located in two areas; both of which are within an
employee -only area. The total beverage storage area with a beverage cooler is 8.75 square feet, with
an additional 12 square foot area for additional storage. The total square footage dedicated to
alcoholic beverage storage will be approximately 20.75 square feet, representing less than one
percent of the total gross floor area of the market. This percentage of alcohol storage area is below
the Santa Ana Municipal Code's maximum for eating establishments serving alcoholic beverage; not
to exceed five percent of the gross floor area of the restaurant (Exhibits 4 and 5).
Project Background
A building permit was issued in September of 2013 to begin tenant improvements for the Curry House
restaurant; with anticipated grand opening in early 2014. The restaurant is the first business to
occupy this particular tenant space. Curry House restaurant is a full - service, sit -down eating
establishment that specializes in Japanese -style curry and spaghetti. Presently, there are 10 Curry
House locations throughout California, with two existing restaurants in Orange County (Irvine and
Cypress).
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The General Plan land use designation for the overall 17.7 acre City Place site is District Center (DC),
allowing a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.54. Areas designated as District Centers are intended
to be major activity areas in the City with mixture of higher intensity offices, commercial and
residential use to provide shopping, business, cultural, housing and entertainment opportunities.
These Districts also provide important neighborhood facilities and services, including restaurants.
The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation.
The zoning for the site is Specific Development No. 59 (SD -59). The City Place Specific
Development zoning district allows for retail and service uses such as the existing restaurant,
making the proposed use consistent with the zoning code. Further, the zoning allows for the
issuance of a conditional use permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with
restaurant uses.

Project Analysis
Conditional Use Permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC). Conditional Use Permit requests may be granted when it can be shown that the following
can be established:
• That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well
being of the neighborhood or community.
• 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.
• That the proposed use adversely will not affect the present economic stability or future economic
development of properties surrounding the area.
• That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for
such use.
• 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.
If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely,
the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared
the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report.
In analyzing the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact
warrant approval of the conditional use permit.
The proposed alcohol beverage license will provide an ancillary service to the restaurant
customers to purchase beer and wine with their meals. This will thereby provide a benefit to
the surrounding community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary
food - related amenity. Additionally, conditions have been placed on this alcoholic beverage
control license which will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the
use will not negatively affect the surrounding community.
The proposed license for the on -sale consumption of beer and wine at this location will not be
detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because conditions have been placed on
the alcoholic beverage control license that will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts
created by the use. In addition, the use will occur within the premises and is incidental to the
restaurant use.
31A-5
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -4e
January 13, 2014
Page 4
P The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow
the restaurant to compete with other nearby restaurants that also offer alcoholic beverages for sale
to their patrons. Moreover, the offering of alcoholic beverages as an ancillary product to food
supports the establishment of a full- service restaurant. The proposed use will serve to re- tenant a
previously vacant building, thereby decreasing the number of vacant tenant spaces that may affect
the economic stability of the area.
As conditioned, the proposed Type 41 ABC license will be in compliance with all applicable
regulations and conditions imposed on a retail business selling alcohol pursuant to Chapter 41 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The business will be maintained as a bona -fide eating
establishment as defined by Section 23038 of the California Business and Professions Code,
having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying a variety of foods commonly ordered at various
hours of the day. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize less than one percent of the gross floor area
for the display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is below the maximum threshold
established by the SAMC.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the City's General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use
Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. A full -
service restaurant with an ancillary alcohol license provides a dining service to the residents of
Santa Ana, as well as visitors to the surrounding Santa Ana MainPlace shopping mall and City
Place area. Further, restaurant and ancillary uses such as off- premise alcohol sales are permitted
within the District Center (DC) land use designation. The proposed project is not located in a
specific plan area In the City. Policy 2.8 of the Land Use Element promotes the rehabilitation of
commercial properties, and encourages increased levels of capital investment. The building interior
and exterior is In the process of being improved representing a large capital investment. Further,
Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that
is safe and attractive. The physical improvement to the building will create an enhancement to the
existing center and promote commercial activity in the area. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element
encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. The
Curry House restaurant is located in a commercial area and is compatible with the surrounding
commercial businesses and City Place residential uses.
Police Department Analysis
The Police Department reviews conditional use permit 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 also are utilized by the State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This section defines "reported crimes" as criminal
homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft,
31A-6
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -46
January 13, 2014
Page 5
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 (Business and Professions Code Section 23948.4(a)(1)], 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, which could result in a recommendation of denial.
The project site at 131 East Memory Lane is located in Reporting District No. 181. This reporting
district is not 20 percent above the average for calls for service for all reporting districts; the
threshold established by the State for high crime. Conditions of approval are included as required
by the SAMC that are adequate to address any concerns.
Public Notification
While this project site is not located within the boundaries of any Neighborhood Associations, a
courtesy call was provided to the chairperson for the Park Santiago Neighborhood Association
(neighborhood south of the project site); a notice was also mailed 10 days prior to this public
hearing. The project site itself was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was
published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners and
occupants within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either
written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for
further review per Section 15301. The Class 1 exemption allows the licensing of existing facilities with
no expansion of the existing use. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2013 -104 will be
filed for this project.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -46 as conditioned.

LAN E
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -46 to
allow a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license for the property
located at 131 East Memory Lane.
B. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41 -196 requires a conditional use
permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption.
C. On January 13, 2014, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -46.
D. 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. 2013 -46 to allow for a Type 41
ABC license:
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 alcohol beverage license will provide an
ancillary service to the restaurant customers to purchase
beer and wine with their meals. This will thereby provide a
benefit to the surrounding community by providing a
restaurant with an additional and complementary food -
related amenity. Additionally, conditions have been placed
on this alcoholic beverage control license which will mitigate
any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the
use will not negatively affect the surrounding community.
The restaurant will offer a walkable dining alternative for
nearby residents and businesses, and plans to offer a variety
Resolution No. 2014 -02
31A-15 Page 1 of 8
of freshly prepared food items. By offering beer and wine as
an ancillary component of their restaurant, Curry House
restaurant will provide a convenient and more complete
dining experience for the neighborhood.
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?
The proposed license for the on -sale consumption of beer
and wine at this location will not be detrimental to the health
or welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity
because conditions have been placed on the alcoholic
beverage control license that will mitigate any potential
negative or adverse impacts created by the use. In addition,
the use will occur within the premises and is incidental to the
restaurant use.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic
stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to
compete with other nearby restaurants that also offer
alcoholic beverages for sale to their patrons. Moreover, the
offering of alcoholic beverages as an ancillary product to
food supports the establishment of a full- service restaurant.
The proposed use will serve to re- tenant a previously vacant
building, thereby decreasing the number of vacant tenant
spaces that may affect the economic stability of the area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
As conditioned, the proposed Type 41 ABC license will be in
compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions
imposed on a restaurant business selling alcohol pursuant to
Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The business
will be maintained as a bona -fide eating establishment as
defined by Section 23038 of the California Business and
Professions Code, having suitable kitchen facilities and
supplying a variety of foods commonly ordered at various
hours of the day. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize less
than one percent of the gross floor area for the display and
storage of alcoholic beverages, which is below the maximum
threshold established by the SAMC.
Resolution No. 2014 -02
31A-16 Page 2 of 8
