Request of Applicant
Brian Anderson, representing Network Brewery, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for
a Type 23 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license for a small beer manufacturer at 1824 East
Carnegie Avenue. Pursuant to Section 41 -196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC),
establishments that sell alcoholic beverages require a conditional use permit.
Project Location and Site Description
The applicant proposes to operate the Network Brewery, a new micro - brewery, on a two -acre parcel
of land. Network Brewery intends to occupy 1,500 square feet of a 35,000 square foot building for the
micro - brewery use with the remainder of the building occupied by industrial and office uses. The site
is located at the southwest corner of Carnegie Avenue and Daimler Street. A total of 61 parking
spaces are provided in a surface parking lot. The site is surrounded by office and manufacturing uses
to the east, west, north and south (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).
Protect Description
Network Brewery is requesting approval of a Type 23 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to
allow a small beer manufacturer at this location. Network Brewery will occupy an existing 1,500 square
foot tenant space that is located towards the end of the building. Physical improvements include the
installation of brewery equipment, office space, a warehouse area and a 75 square foot tasting area.
The manufacturing operation is anticipated to operate weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. but could
extend during peak production times. The production operation will require up to five employees. The
tasting area will be open on Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
and Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 6 :00 p.m. (Exhibits 4 and 5).

Proiect Backaround
Network Brewery is a locally -owned and operated micro - brewery that specializes in hand crafted beer.
This business will be the first micro - brewery business for the applicant.
The applicant is proposing a tasting area that will allow interaction between the customers and staff. A
tasting counter will create an environment for customers to enjoy the various beers that are made on
the premises, have growlers filled and purchase other merchandise. The tasting area /retail area will be
used for staging equipment as needed and general tastings. The square footage for the tasting area is
75 square feet which is five percent of the total square footage allowed by code.
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND). Industrial land -use districts are
vital to the Citys economic health. These areas provide employment opportunities for local residents
and generate municipal revenues for continued economic development. Santa Ana has been a
desirable location for local and regional businesses to the county. The City's goal is to maintain the
strong industrial base by setting land use policies which preclude the intrusion of less intensive
commercial or residential uses. Typical uses found in this district include light and heavy product
manufacturing and assembly. The proposed project, a micro- brewery; is consistent with this General
Plan land use designation.
The parcel is located within the Light Industrial (M1) zoning district The proposed use of the land is
a micro- brewery, a light manufacturing use. Along with the primary manufacturing operation,
administrative office, retail and tasting will be part of the business. The M1 zoning district allows for
limited office and retail that is ancillary to the primary use, making the proposed use consistent with
the zoning designation.
Project Analysis
There are currently three businesses with a Type 23 ABC license in the city: The Good Beer Brewery
located at 207 West Fourth Street, Dean Brothers Brewing Company located at 1006 East Hathaway
Street and Cismontane Brewing located at 1409 East Warner Avenue, Suites B and C. The Good
Beer Brewery was issued CUP No. 2013 -01 and will be opening soon. The Dean Brothers Brewing
Company was established in 2007 and is in operation in an industrial section of the city. Cismontane
Brewing was approved in April of 2014 by CUP No. 2014 -04 and recently obtained its building permits
to begin construction. A Type 23 ABC license allows a small beer manufacturer or micro- brewery (less
than 60,000 barrels per year) with both on and off- premise consumption of alcohol. A micro - brewery is
a small brewery operation that typically is dedicated solely to the production of specialty or
experimental beers, although some may have a restaurant or pub in conjunction with their
manufacturing plant. The proposed Network Brewery is a 1,500 square foot micro- brewery with no
restaurant planned as part of the Type 23 ABC license.
Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -19
September 22, 2014
Page 3
The license type requested allows tasting of alcohol produced or bottled by the licensee for on-
premise consumption. The applicant has indicated that tasting, where alcoholic samples are offered
for a charge, will be eight ounces per customer. The proposed use may also sell beer to consumers
for consumption off the manufacturer's licensed premises; however, selling individual bottles is not
the primary business plan as the tasting room is small, and their target market is bulk sales to the
local and regional consumers and restaurants.
The proposed project is a light manufacturing use with a small tasting and retail component consistent
with the M1 zoning which allows ancillary product sales and service up to five percent of the total floor
area. The tasting area will allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages limited to products made on
the premises. Since the proposed project will be limited to no more than five percent of the floor area
for product sales and consumption, it differs from bars that devotes the majority of their floor area to the
sales and consumption of alcohol not manufactured on -site. Lastly, the hours of operation for the
tasting are limited and do not extend into the late night hours as bars typically operate.
There are two trash containers on -site within an existing trash enclosure to handle the trash generated
from the existing manufacturing operation. Odors associated with the waste from the brewing process
will be contained within the building. Venting for the brewing equipment will be designed to not affect
adjacent businesses. The brewing equipment does not generate noise above the level allowed by the
City's noise ordinance and there are no sensitive receptors within 500 feet of the micro- brewery:
Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -838 of the 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 will not adversely 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 a service to individuals and other businesses
that wish to purchase unique craft beer for personal use or resale. This will thereby benefit the
community by providing an opportunity for a unique and locally made product. Operational
standards are attached to the 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 a small beer manufacturer at this location will not be detrimental to
persons residing or working in the vicinity because standards applicable to an ABC license will
mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. In addition, the use is
located within the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district which is consistent with other light industrial
and manufacturing uses in the area.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will Instead allow
businesses and individuals to purchase a unique and locally brewed craft beer for local and regional
consumption. Moreover, the manufacturing of specialty crafted beer allows the industrial base to
remain economically viable and contribute to the overall success of Santa Ana. Network Brewery
will reoccupy a vacant industrial space, thereby reducing the vacancy rate of the area and
identifying the area as a stable location for economic investment.
As conditioned, the proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and
standards imposed on a manufacturing use that produces beer, allows tastings and sells beer
pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Additionally, the brewery will utilize five
percent of the gross floor area for tasting, product sales and display, which meets the maximum
threshold established by the Municipal Code.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use
Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. A
small beer manufacturer provides a specialty use for the Santa Ana community and strengthens
the economic vitality of the Light Industrial (M1) zoning district along Carnegie Avenue.
Moreover, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with
and supporting of surrounding land uses. The proposed micro- brewery will be located entirely
within an enclosed building and its operations as a light manufacturing use will be compatible
with the surrounding mix of industrial uses.

Police Department Analysis
The Police Department reviews conditional use permit applications for the sale 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 Professional Code Section 23948.4(c)(2), which are also 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, 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 standards used by
State ABC and Business and Professional 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 project at 1824 Carnegie Avenue is located in Reporting District No. 249, which does not
exceed the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime based on standards
established under the Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4. As a result, the standards
included as required by the SAMC will be adequate to address any concerns for the Type 23 ABC
license (Exhibit 6). The applicant has also indicated that they are not pursuing an eating
establishment or pub component at this time. Due to the unique use, staff is recommending
conditions of approval for the project. Based on the average crime rate, the Police Department
recommends approval of the CUP subject to the conditions of approval.
Public Notification
The project site is not located within any Neighborhood Association but is approximately one mile
east of the Delhi Neighborhood Association. Staff contacted the president of the association, who
identified no concerns with the project. Additionally, the project site 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 tenants 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.

CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 2014 -19 FOR A TYPE 23 ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 1824 EAST CARNEGIE AVENUE
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. Applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -19 for a
Type 23 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license, which allows a small
beer manufacturer, for the property located at 1824 East Carnegie Avenue.
B. A Type 23 license is for a small beer manufacturer. Pursuant to California
Business and Professions Code section 23357, this license allows patrons
to purchase beer produced or bottled by the licensee for consumption on or
off site. Additionally, pursuant to California Business and Professions Code
section 23357.3, this license allows tasting of beer produced or bottled by
the licensee without charge either on or off the premises.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41 -196 requires a conditional use permit
for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
D. On September 22, 2014, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -19.
E. 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. 2014 -19 to allow for a Type 23 ABC license:
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 a service
to individual and other businesses that wish to purchase
unique craft beer for personal use or resale. This will thereby
benefit the community by providing an opportunity for unique
and locally made product. Conditions have been placed on
the alcoholic beverage control license which will mitigate any
Resolution No. 2014 -34
Page 1 of 6
31 BB -17
potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use
will not negatively affect the surrounding community.
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 a small beer manufacturer 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 is located within the Light Industrial (M -1)
zoning district which is consistent with other light industrial and
manufacturing uses in the area.
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 businesses and
individuals to purchase a unique and locally brewed craft beer
for local and regional consumption. Moreover, the
manufacturing of specialty crafted beer allows the industrial
base to remain economically viable and contribute to the
overall success of Santa Ana. Network Brewery will reoccupy
a vacant industrial building, thereby reducing the vacancy rate
of the area and identifying the area as a stable location for
economic investment.
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
manufacturing use that produces beer, allows tastings and
sell beer pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize five percent of
the gross floor area for tasting, product sales and display,
which meets the maximum threshold established by the
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.
Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that
accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. A

small beer manufacturer provides a specialty use for the Santa
Ana community and strengthens the economic vitality of Light
Industrial (M1) zoning district along Carnegie Avenue.
Moreover, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages
development that is compatible with and supporting of
surrounding land uses. The proposed micro - brewery will be
located entirely within an enclosed building and its operations
as a light manufacturing use will be compatible with the
surrounding mix of industrial uses.
F. 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 operating, permitting and licensing of existing
private structures with negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The
proposed application is to approve an alcoholic beverage control license
and allow a small beer manufacturer within an existing industrial building.
Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2014 -52 will be filed for
this project.
