Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 15 The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area. This approval will allow Costa Azul to upgrade its existing ABC Type-41 license to a Type-47 license, enabling the sale of distilled spirits alongside beer and wine for on-premises consumption. The upgrade will help the establishment remain economically viable and compete with other nearby full-service establishments offering a full selection of alcoholic beverages, thereby contributing to the overall success of the City. The alcohol license for on-premises sale and consumption will benefit the surrounding area, as the reinvestment on the site will increase economic activity in the area. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on an eating establishment selling alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption pursuant to Section 41- 196(g) of the SAMC. The facility will be maintained as a bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Additionally, the eating establishment will utilize no more than five percent (5%) of the gross floor area for display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. In addition, operational standards will ensure the Project remains in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations related to alcohol sales to ensure that the use does not impact neighboring properties or create an attractive nuisance. 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. The approval of the proposed Project will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC), which allows for the development of highly visible and accessible shopping opportunities along arterial corridors. The proposed request would provide an added amenity and would promote a land use that enhances the City’s economic fiscal viability and mitigates any potential impacts to the surrounding community. Furthermore, approval of this application would be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, specifically Goals 1 and 2 of the Land Use (“LU”) Element and Goal 3 of the Economic Prosperity (“EP”) Element as discussed below.
