The project proposes to allow the on -premise sale of alcoholic beverages at a full-service restaurant within an existing structure. It has been found by the City that the use will not create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. The cumulative impact of this project will not be significant as the use will be complementary with the nearby commercial uses in the area. There is no reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to the facility having the necessary infrastructure to operate the proposed use. Section 3.
