RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2016 -22 as conditioned.
Request of Applicant
John Chen is requesting approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the operation of a
restaurant offering an accompanying gaming experience at 515 North Main Street. Establishments
that provide indoor commercial recreation require conditional use permits pursuant to the Specific
Development 84 (SD -84), and specifically Section 41 -2007, of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC).
Project Location and Site Description
The applicant is in the process of completing work and associated permits for tenant improvements to
operate the McFadden Public Market within an existing two -story 9,950 - square -foot historic building
located mid -block on the east side of Main Street between Santa Ana Boulevard and Fifth Street.
Parking is provided in a small parking lot to the rear (east) of the building, as well as in public parking
structures located in several Downtown areas. The site is surrounded by medical offices to the north
and south, and commercial offices and dental offices to the west (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).
The proposed use will occupy the entirety of the building historically known as the McFadden Public
Market located in the Downtown National Register District. The applicants propose to retain the name
for their restaurant. Constructed in 1919 and remodeled in 1930, the building is individually listed on
the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as "Key" due to its distinctive architectural style and
quality and its association with Robert and James McFadden, important individuals during a significant
period in the history of the City of Santa Ana. Additionally, the building is a contributor on the National
Register and California Register. No major exterior fagade changes are proposed, other than the
restoration of the upper floor windows from tinted to clear glass.

Protect Descriotion
The McFadden Public Market proposes to occupy the entire building as a full-service restaurant and
bar facility with indoor entertainment in the form of a 1980s gaming arcade. Although the arcade
would be ancillary to the restaurant use, it will be distributed among both floors of the restaurant
space and will include classic games such as pinball, foosball, and classic video games such as
Pac Man and Donkey Kong (Exhibit 4). Food service will be made available during all business
hours. The proposed gaming use requires the approval of a conditional use permit as a commercial
recreation facility.
Both the first and second floor will provide both men and women's bathroom facilities, and the
kitchen will be located on the main floor. Bar seating is proposed on both floors, along with dining
tables and comfortable seating nooks. Storage will be mainly provided on the first floor near the
kitchen area.
The facility will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and proposes operation from 5:00 a.m. to
2:00 a.m. The location maintains an active on -site Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license,
banquet use, and entitlements for after - hours, The applicant will also utilize age restrictions to
ensure that the facility remains in compliance with local curfew laws, These laws allow minors to
access the site between 3 :00 p,m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday of each week as well as
Saturday and Sunday before 10:00 p.m. Vacation days and school holidays are exempted from the
curfew law's restrictions, as are minors accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. In addition to its
normal operations, the McFadden Public Market will also host private parties for individuals who rent
all or part of the facility.
Project Background
Since its construction in 1919, the McFadden Public Market has contained a variety of land uses
including restaurants, retail, and an open market place such as the Grand Central Market in both
Santa Ana and Los Angeles. The building was remodeled in 1930, then damaged and repaired due
to the 1933 earthquake. In 1984, it was designated to the National Register of Historic Places as a
contributor to the Downtown Historic District. The property Is designated to the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties and is significant for its Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture and is
association with Robert and James McFadden, brothers, farmers, landowners, lumber yard owners
and entrepreneurs.
In 2011, the tenant obtained entitlements for an ABC license, after -hours operation, and a banquet
hall. The entitlements were still in place when Karmina took over the space, and remain in good
standing.

General Plan and Zonina Consistenc
The General Plan land use designation for the site is District Center (DC). District Center land -use
districts provide bustling and accessible commercial development along the City's arterial
transportation corridors and provide important neighborhood facilities and services. The Downtown
District portion of the District Center serves as one of the County's major employment and
governmental operations centers complemented with a mix of residential, commercial, and service
uses to enhance urban vibrancy, The site and McFadden Public Market restaurant are consistent
with the intent of the General Plan land use designation.
The parcel is located within the SD -84 zoning district and maintains a Downtown (DT) sub- zone.
The SD -84 zoning district allows for retail and service uses such as restaurants, banquet
facilities, and indoor commercial recreation facilities, making the proposed McFadden Public
Market restaurant consistent with the zoning designation.
Proiect Analvsis
Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 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 these conditional use permit requests, staff believes that the following
findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit.

CUP No. 2016 -22

The proposed indoor commercial recreation conditional use permit will allow the tenant to operate a
1980's style gaming arcade in conjunction with a full- service restaurant. Patrons will be charged to
use the use the arcade games as a form of entertainment while they wait for their meals to be
prepared or as a leisure activity. Conditions of approval have been placed upon the use in order
to mitigate potential concerns or impacts that arise from operating an arcade in conjunction with a
restaurant that operates after -hours and serves alcohol.
The following findings support the recommendation of approval for the indoor commercial
recreation conditional use permit.
The proposed indoor commercial recreation venue will provide a service to the community by
allowing an additional recreational use within the City and by adding a use to Downtown that will
complement the existing commercial uses, such as retail and dining, within the vicinity.
Conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the
use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. The McFadden Public Market
restaurant will offer a unique dining experience with indoor entertainment to encourage patrons
to rest. This unique use will contribute to the diversification of the range of goods and services
available to the Downtown and Citywide patrons.
The proposed conditional use permit for an adjunct arcade facility at this location will not be
detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity as conditions have been placed on the
use that will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the typical operations.
The tenant will maintain training and staffing required in order to ensure that the facility remains
compliant with local and State laws. In addition, the use will occur within the interior of the
premises, with no outdoor entertainment use proposed at the location. Staff and security
personnel will maintain the area's order, preventing impacts to adjacent sidewalks or streets
from pedestrian activity or vehicular circulation. The tenancy of the McFadden Public Market
restaurant, located on one of Downtown's most important corridors (Main Street), will enhance
the safety of the immediate vicinity by reducing vacancy at the site and bringing more activity to
the area, thereby enhancing security in the surrounding area.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area but will instead
allow the facility to draw patrons and become successful, thereby reducing the vacancy rate in
the McFadden Public Market building and creating the possibility for patrons to support other
local, complementary uses such as retail stores, service uses, or restaurants. The conditional
use permit will allow the McFadden Public Market restaurant to operate in a unique way thereby
contributing to the overall success of Santa Ana's Downtown by reducing vacancies, promoting
the success of a local business, and allowing the facility's patrons the ability to support other
local businesses.

As conditioned, the proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and
conditions imposed on an indoor commercial recreation facility pursuant to Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code. The facility will be primarily maintained as a full- service restaurant
with ancillary arcade facilities and staff available to ensure that the use remain in compliance
with the City's curfew laws and with the standards in place to maintain order.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan requirements. The granting of
this conditional use permit supports several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 22
of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods
and services. Providing a venue that offers arcade gaming offers additional recreation
options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. The granting of this conditional use permit also
contributes to the development of Downtown Santa Ana as a regional destination.
Furthermore, Policy 2.8 of the Land Use Element promotes the rehabilitation of commercial
properties, and encourages increased levels of capital investment. The tenant improvements
underway, as well as the long -term maintenance of this historic building, which holds "Key"
status on the local register of historic buildings leads to the length of service this historic
building may provide. Further, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments
that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Conditions of approval have
been placed on the proposed ancillary indoor entertainment that will maintain a safe and
attractive environment in Downtown Santa Ana. Complementing this, 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 commercial area and its operations will complement
and will be compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses.

enhancing security in the surrounding area.
G. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability or future
