Project Description
Clever Leaf is requesting approval of a CUP to allow the on-premise sale of alcoholic beverages to
patrons of the restaurant. Pursuant to SAIVIC Section 41-196, eating establishments wishing to sell
alcohol to diners require approval of a CUP; however, the use of the property as an eating
establishment is permitted by right.

Deli and K.I.T. Wireless. Clever Leaf began tenant Improvements in April 2016; Alcohol storage
and display areas will consist of less than five percent of the floor area (Exhibits 4 and 5). The
proposed hours of operation for the restaurant are from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily,
Proiect Background
The subject site, Harbor Promenade, is located on the southwestern border of Santa Ana and
contains multiple neighborhood-serving businesses, The development was originally built between
1989 and 1990 to host retail and eating establishment uses. Currently, the development contains
nineteen units across three buildings, and Clever Leaf will be combining two existing units to create
a new restaurant space. A parking analysis has been conducted to confirm that the site contains
adequate parking supply (Exhibit 3).
Clever Leaf is a new, full-service restaurant specializing in modernized Hong Kong-style barbeque
food and cuisine served in an American-style atmosphere and style of service. This is the first
restaurant for mother and son team Winnie and Darryl Kwok. Winnie is the owner of the restaurant,
and Darryl will serve as the chef and operations manager. The menu will focus on the use of
ingredients from local farms and suppliers. The food offerings will be seasonal, making use of
organic produce, hormone- and antibiotic-free meat, and seafood from sustainable Sources. The
applicant is requesting approval of a CUP to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site
consumption. Clever Leaf intends to provide a unique dining experience with its seasonal offerings
and environmentally conscious sourcing.
RroLect Anal sis
y_
Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAIVIC, Conditional use
permit requests 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 Conditional
use permit. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this
31 C-4
CUP No. 2016 -24

information„ staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the
recommendation contained In this report.
The on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages to customers is intended to provide a service
ancillary to the primary restaurant use. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a
restaurant with an additional food - related amenity. The granting of the CUP for this space will
allow the restaurant to serve complementary alcoholic beverages to their seasonal menu
offerings and provide their guests with a full culinary experience,
The proposed use will not be detrimental: to the health, safety, and welfare of the - community.
The lead and management positions of the restaurant staff have previous restaurant experience
and are knowledgeable regarding safety and service procedures of food, alcoholic, and
nonalcoholic beverages. Additionally, all members of management and floor staff will have
alcohol training and certification.
The proposed ABC license will be in compliance with all other regulations, including alcohol
storage and display area criteria set forth in Section 41- 196{8}(25) of the SAMC. Further, the site
will be in compliance with all operational standards set forth in Section 41.196(g) of the SAME,
which govern the on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages (Exhibit 6).
Finally, the proposed ABC license will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General
Plan, including Goals 2 and 5 of the Land Use Element, which encourages land uses that enhance
the City's economic and fiscal viability, that mitigate any potential impacts, and are compatible with
and supporting of surrounding land uses, Clever Leaf Is proposing to locate within an existing
development that contains several other retail and eating establishments, and its operations will be
compatible with the surrounding businesses.
Police Department Analysls
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 such uses are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. For on -sale licenses, the
Police Department compares crime in the project area to crime citywide, Crime data is collected
by reporting district. When a project is located in a reporting district with more than 20 percent of
the average crime rate citywide; the Police Department will consider this Information in making its
recommendation.
31 C -5
CUP No. 2016-24
July 11, 2016

The project is located in Reporting District No. 91. Reporting District No. 91 ranks 81 out of 102
reporting districts in the number of police related calls for service. This reporting district is below
the average for criminal activity threshold established by the State for high crime. The Police
Department contends that the operational standards and conditions of approval applicable to on-
premise ABC licenses will mitigate any potential negative impacts to the surrounding community.
Public Notification
The project is not located within the boundaries of an established Neighborhood Association.
However, 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.
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 the on- premise sale of alcoholic
beverages from an existing structure. No modification to the exterior of the building is proposed
as part of this project.
Strategic Plan Alignment
