CUP Nos. 2013 -21, 2013 -22 & 2013 -23 August 11, 2014 Page 2 proposed in the mezzanine. The Empire Market Building is designated on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties in 2001. Last Call on Broadway is proposed to be located immediately north of the C4 Deli. Surrounding land uses include commercial /office to the north, east and south, and residential on the upper floors further north on the block and across the alley to the west (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3). Although overconcentration criteria are not applicable to on -sale ABC licenses, a review of the project vicinity indicates there are currently 12 ABC licenses located within 500 feet of the project site in addition to the proposed license, These 12 ABC licenses include three Type 41 licenses, (on -sale beer and wine), six Type 47 ABC licenses (on -sale beer, wine and distilled spirits), one Type 42 license (public premise beer and wine only), one Type 48 (public premise beer, wine and distilled spirits), and one Type 23 license (brewery). However, this information does not affect the analysis or recommendation contained in this report. Project Description Last Call on Broadway proposes to occupy a suite on the ground floor of the Empire Market Building as well as an interior mezzanine within the same space. The mezzanine will be used for the kitchen. The building has traditionally contained a mixture of commercial uses, including retail, office and service uses. The use that previously occupied the subject tenant space was Theater Out, and they vacated in 2009; however, other tenants will continue to occupy other spaces on all levels. The suite is 2,728 square feet. In conjunction with the new restaurant; the applicant is requesting approval of a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to allow the on- premise consumption of beer and wine to patrons at the restaurant. The restaurant will be a full service, sit -down eating establishment that will hold approximately 45 seats within its dining room plus approximately eight more on standing tables. No outdoor seating is proposed at this time. The on- premise sale of alcoholic beverages to customers, which requires a CUP, is intended to provide a service ancillary to the primary restaurant use. Overall alcohol storage and display areas will contain approximately 34 square feet, which is less than five percent of the floor area and is consistent with the SAMC requirement of maintaining five percent or less of the gross floor area of the restaurant for alcohol storage and display (Exhibits 4 and 5). The proposed hours of operation for the restaurant are Sunday to Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. seven days a week. Operations past 12:00 midnight in the Transit Zoning Code (SD -84) require approval of a separate CUP. 31A-4
