Resolution No. 2025-XX <br />Page 6 of 15 <br />K. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the <br />following findings, which must be established in order to determine a PCN <br />pursuant to SAMC Section 41-645.5, have been established for CUP No. <br />2025-02 to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, for off-premises <br />consumption at grocery store (Ole City Market) proposed to be located at <br />1623 W. Seventeenth Street: <br /> <br />1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the character of <br />development in the immediate neighborhood and will be in harmony with <br />the overall objectives of the General Plan. <br /> <br />The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, for off-premises consumption <br />will not be detrimental to the character of development in the immediate <br />neighborhood. Ole City Market is a full-scale grocery store proposed to <br />be located in an integrated shopping center that is designed to minimize <br />intrusion into surrounding neighborhoods. The market is not in close <br />proximity to any parks, playgrounds, religious institutions, or schools <br />primarily attended by minors. Moreover, the primary entrance to the <br />store is proposed to be located on the south side of the building and <br />faces away from the nearest single-family residential development to the <br />east. Operational standards applicable to the ABC license and <br />conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the <br />use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect any immediate <br />residential neighborhood. The granting of CUP No. 2025-02 will be in <br />harmony with the overall objective of the General Plan as stated in <br />Section 1.H.5. above. <br /> <br />2. The economic benefit outweighs the negative impacts to the community <br />as whole. <br /> <br />The economic benefit associated with the sale of beer, wine, and <br />distilled spirits for off-premises consumption at the subject site will <br />outweigh any potential negative impacts to the community as a whole. <br />The proposed use and proposed improvements would help generate <br />additional economic growth and stability in the City by further activating <br />an underutilized site and helping generate sales tax revenue. This <br />additional revenue would improve the financial health of the business <br />itself and contribute to the broader economic sustainability of the City. <br />Furthermore, the proposed project would help create a job-producing <br />establishment thereby providing employment opportunities to Santa <br />Ana residents. <br /> <br />3. The issuance of the license will provide a needed service not currently <br />being met in the community. <br /> <br />The sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-premises consumption <br />at the subject site will provide a needed service not currently being met <br />
