RECOMMENDER ACTIONS
Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2016 -04 as conditioned.
Request of Applicant
Brian Christianson, representing Jakosky Properties, Inc., is requesting approval of a conditional
use permit (CUP) for a Type 74 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to allow educational
tours, limited tastings, and limited direct sales at Blinking Owl craft distillery, located at 802 East
Washington Avenue. Establishments In the Transit Zoning Code that sell alcoholic beverages
require approval of a CUP pursuant to Section 41 -2007 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC).
Proiect Location and Site Description
Blinking Owl is currently in the process of pursuing tenant improvements to occupy a 5,596- square
foot manufacturing space at the southeast corner of Washington Avenue and Santiago Street. The
total square footage of all structures on site is approximately 20,038 square feet and the entire
property is approximately 1.06 acres.
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Urban Neighborhood (UN). The Urban
Neighborhood land use designation applies to primarily residential areas with pedestrian oriented
commercial uses, schools and small parks. The parcel is located within the Transit Zoning Code
(SD -84) zoning district in the Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN -2) land use sub -zone. The property is
also located in the Heavy Industrial overlay zone within SD -84 (OZ M -2), which allows properties
presently used for industrial purposes to continue industrial land uses. The Heavy Industrial
overlay designation allows manufacturing uses by right, making Blinking Owl craft distillery's
manufacturing land use consistent with the zoning designation. Surrounding land uses include
utility and commercial uses to the north, commercial and industrial uses to the east, industrial uses
to the south, and commercial and industrial uses to the west across Santiago Street (Exhibits 1, 2
and 3). EXHIBIT A

Proiect Description
Blinking Owl is requesting approval of a CUP to allow a Type 74 ABC license to allow educational
tours, limited tastings, and limited direct sales of bottled distilled spirits to consumers. Pursuant to
Section 41 -2007 of the SAMC, establishments offering alcoholic beverage sales or consumption
require approval of a CUP; however, the use of the property as a manufacturing facility is permitted
by right. The tenant is currently undergoing tenant improvements to establish a new craft distillery
at the subject property.
The distillery will occupy a 5,596- square foot portion of a multi -unit industrial building. The tenant
space will contain a manufacturing area with distillery equipment, offices, and an area for public
tours and service with an alcohol service area and moveable furniture. The tenant space has been
designed to comply with State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control standards for
establishments that produce distilled spirits and offer tours, tastings, and sales to the public (Exhibits
4 and 5).
The proposed hours of operation for the tasting room and tours that are open to the public are
Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from
12:00 p.m. (noon) to 4 :00 p.m. Tours and tastings are to be scheduled by appointment only on
Monday through Thursday.
Proiect Backgraund
In October 2015, Governor Brown approved Assembly Bill No. 1295 and signed into law the Craft
Distillers Act of 2015. The Act resulted in the new Type 74 ABC license to allow production, limited
tastings, tours, and limited sales to consumers of distilled spirits. The Type 74 ABC license
responds to a rapidly- emerging industry of craft distillers throughout the United States. In California,
50 facilities currently manufacture distilled spirits; the Type 74 ABC license would allow these
facilities to open to the public.
The applicant filed a CUP application in January 2016 to allow a Type 74 ABC license at the subject
location. If approved, Blinking Owl would be the first "grain to glass" distillery in Santa Ana and
Orange County. To minimize any impacts to the residential uses in the vicinity, all operations,
including tours and tastings, will be conducted within the building.
State regulations for the Type 74 ABC license limit the amount of production and sales at craft
distilleries. The license allows the production of up to 100,000 gallons of distilled spirits per fiscal
year (excluding brandy). Facilities can package, export, and sell only their own products to primarily
wholesalers and other manufacturers but not directly to retailers, with the exception of limited sales
to consumers at each site. Craft distillers may sell up to 2.25 liters of their own pre - packaged
product in conjunction with instructional tastings or tours that occur on the premises. The license
also allows on -site tastings of the facility's own craft limited to a 1.5 -ounce pour per person daily.

Project Analvsis
Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Section 41 -2007
requires a CUP for establishments in the Transit Zoning Code (SD -84) selling alcohol for on -site or
off -site consumption. Staff has prepared the following analysis, which in turn forms the basis for the
recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing this conditional use pen-nit request, staff
believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the CUP.
The educational tours, tastings, and sale of alcoholic beverages to customers are intended to
provide a service ancillary to the primary manufacturing use. Manufacturing operations on the
premises are proposed from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m„ making the limited tastings and tours
ancillary to the manufacturing use. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a unique
manufacturing use with an additional and complementary amenity that is open to the public. The
granting of the CUP will allow the distillery to compete with other craft distillers in Santa Ana and
Orange County that may also offer similar services to the public, allowing Blinking Owl, a local
small business, to remain economically viable. The proposed license will contribute to the
evolving mixed -use neighborhood in which it is located, which has welcomed new commercial
and industrial tenants in recent months.
Moreover, all tours, tastings, and sales to consumers will take place inside the manufacturing
facility's building, helping to reduce potential impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. The
proposed license will not adversely affect the General Plan. The granting of this CUP supports
several policies contained in the General Plan. These include policies supporting: the provision
of a diverse range of goods and services, creating a safe and attractive business environment,
and encouraging development that is compatible with nearby land uses. Finally, the proposed
conditions of approval will mitigate potential impacts from the Type 74 ABC license.
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, 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 State ABC and Business and Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that
31 B -5
CUP No. 2016 -04
March 28, 2016
Page 4
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 802 East Washington Avenue is located in Reporting District No. 205. This
reporting district is not 20 percent higher than the average number of reported crimes in all
reporting districts. In addition, the Police Department contends that the proposed conditions of
approval will mitigate any potential negative impacts to the surrounding community. As a result,
the Police Department is supportive of the applicant's request.
Public Notification
On February 4, 2016, the applicant held a community meeting at the Santa Ana Regional
Transportation Center where he presented information about the project to the community. In
addition, staff from the Planning and Neighborhood Initiatives Divisions attended and, together
with the applicant, answered questions related to planning processes and the subject
development. Community members also shared neighborhood -level concerns about potential
impacts of the facility, as well as neighborhood -level concerns about parking, traffic, vandalism,
pollution, area transients, and pedestrian safety.
The project is located within the boundaries of the Logan Neighborhood Association. Staff
contacted the president of the Logan and nearby French Park and Lacy neighborhood
associations to ensure that they were notified of this project and to identify any areas of concern.
The project site was also 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 after the community meeting.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended action is
exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3). This exemption applies to projects where it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment. The project proposes to allow onsite tours, limited tastings, and limited
direct sales to consumers within an existing structure. No expansion of square footage or interior
reconfigurations of square footages are proposed as part of the project.
Strategic Plan Alissnment
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 Economic Development,
Objectives No. 2 (create new opportunities for business /job growth and encourage private
development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies) and No. 4 (continue to
pursue objectives that shape downtown Santa Ana into a thriving, culturally diverse, shopping,
dining, and entertainment destination).

RESOLUTION NO.2016 -XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2016 -04 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW
A TYPE 74 ALCOHOL BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 802 EAST
WASHINGTON 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. 2016 -04 to
allow a Type 74 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at the property
located at 802 East Washington Avenue.
B. Santa Aria Municipal Code Section 41 -196 requires approval of a
conditional use permit for establishments wishing to sell alcohol for on- or
off - premise consumption.
C. On March 28, 2016, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2016 -04.
D. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the
following findings, which must be established in order to grant this
Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC)
Section 41 -638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No.
2016 -04 to allow a Type 74 ABC license:
1. That the proposed use wilt provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or
community.
The proposed Type 74 ABC license will provide an ancillary
service to the manufacturing facility by allowing the facility to
offer tours, limited tastings, and limited sales to consumers.
This will thereby benefit the community by providing a unique
manufacturing operation with an additional and
complementary public service. Standards and conditions are
applicable 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.
Resolution No. 2016 -xx
31 B -13 Page 1 of 7
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 Type 74 ABC license will not be detrimental to
persons residing or working in the vicinity because
conditions of approval to the alcoholic beverage control
license will mitigate any potential negative or adverse
impacts created by the use. This is primarily a
manufacturing use and the addition of alcohol sales and
tastings to the public will be ancillary to the main use as a
craft distillery. In addition, the use will occur within the
premises, mitigating any potential impacts to the surrounding
neighborhood. Finally, the sale of alcohol at the facility is
intended to be incidental to the primary use as a
manufacturing operation.
3. That the proposed use will not 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 manufacturing
facility to compete with other nearby craft distilleries in Orange
County that also offer tours, limited tastings, and limited sales
to their guests and other visitors. Moreover, the offering of
alcoholic beverages will allow the operator to remain
economically viable and contributes to the overall success of
the Transit Zoning Code area, helping to decrease the
number of vacant spaces that may affect the economic
viability of the area.
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 conditions Imposed on a manufacturing
facility selling alcohol pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code. The facility will be maintained as a
manufacturing operation, having all necessary equipment to
operate primarily as a craft distillery, and producing spirits as
a manufacturing operation with ancillary alcohol service that is
open to the public.
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.
Resolution No. 2018 -xx
31B-14 Page 2 of 7
The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan.
The granting of this conditional use permit supports several
policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the
Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate
the City's needs for goods and services. Providing a variety
of unique manufacturing facilities, including a craft distillery,
meets the City's needs for goods and services for residents
and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.8 of the Land Use
Element promotes the rehabilitation of commercial
properties, and encourages increased levels of capital
investment. The operator's tenancy contributes to the
maintenance and viability of the repurposed industrial
building in which it is located. Further, Policy 2.9 of the Land
Use Element supports developments that create a business
environment that is safe and attractive. Conditions of
approval for the proposed Type 74 ABC license will maintain
a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood.
Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages
development that is compatible with and supporting of
surrounding land uses. The facility will be located in a mixed
industrial, commercial, and residential area and its
operations will be compatible with the surrounding industrial
and commercial businesses and will minimize impacts to
residential properties in the vicinity.
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the
recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3). This
exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment. The project proposes to allow onsite tours,
limited tastings, and limited direct sales to consumers within an existing
manufacturing operation. No expansion of square footage or interior
reconfigurations of square footages are proposed as part of the project.
Section 2. The applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
Section 3. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting
the public hearing hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2016 -04 as conditioned
in Exhibit "A " attached hereto and incorporated herein for the project located at 802 East
Washington Avenue. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the
