Planning Commission 6 3/22/2021CityCouncila–6 4/12/2021 Planning and Building Agency Item # 1 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report April 12, 2021 Topic: CUP No. 2021-01 – Major Wireless Communications Facility Renewal RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-01 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nicole Comach with Virtual Site Walk, on behalf of SBA Monarch Towers III, LLC (Applicant) and Salinas, Inc. (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-01 to renew the entitlements of an existing 60-foot high major wireless (“mono-pine”) communications facility located at 1209 East Wakeham Avenue. Pursuant to Section 41-198.3(b) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), major wireless communications facilities require approval of a CUP and are required to be renewed every 10 years. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request due to the facility’s location that minimizes aesthetic instruction to the surrounding area and its ability to continue to provide a community benefit. DISCUSSION Project Description The applicant is requesting approval of CUP No. 2021-01 to renew the entitlements of an existing 60-foot high major wireless communications facility disguised as a mono-pine. The facility currently provides cellular coverage and call capacity to a predominantly industrial area of the City. The wireless communication facility equipment and antennas are located within a 486-square foot area that in enclosed by a seven-foot high wrought iron fence and is located on the rear northeast corner of the property. The mono-pine is surrounded by two pine trees that assist with camouflaging the stealth facility. At this time, no new or additional antennas and/or equipment are being proposed.

Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-198.3(b), a CUP is required for all major wireless communications facilities in the City. Furthermore, Section 41-198.13 states that major wireless communications facilities shall be approved for a period not to exceed 10 years. As the current entitlements have reached the 10-year lifespan, the applicant is required to apply for a new CUP in order to maintain the entitlements current for the facility. Project Analysis CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. CUPs may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. In analyzing the CUP request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants staff’s recommendation. As part of the development review of the project, staff worked closely with the applicant to identify improvements to enhance the overall appearance of the site. These improvements include the replacement of all deteriorating and/or faded stealth branches and needles and refreshing the antenna socks. In processing wireless communications City Council 1 –2 4/12/2021 CUP No. 2021-01 Major Wireless Communications Facility Renewal April 12, 2021 Page 3 5 9 8 facilities, the City of Santa Ana must consider provisions contained within Section 6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act [47 U.S.C. § 1455(a)], which limits the ability of local agencies to impose additional conditions of approval when cell phone tower permits are renewed. These limits include additional stealthing if such screening or stealthing was not required at the time of original construction and/or seismic retrofits, which, according to a study by the City of Los Angeles, cost as much as constructing a new tower. This location is optimal to provide the coverage necessary for existing and expanding service. The facility provides a benefit to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to mobile phone services by providing cellular and data capacity in the area. The facility will be in compliance with Federal law that governs health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Finally, the use will continue to comply with all provisions pertaining to the construction and installation of wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the SAMC. The facility continues to meet all height, location/zoning, and stealthing standards. The facility will not adversely affect the General Plan, as cellular facilities that are designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment are consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element. Public Notification and Community Outreach Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 500-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. The subject property is not located within the boundaries of an established Neighborhood Association. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 1 - Existing Facilities). This exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The project consists of the renewal of a permit of an existing wireless communications facility. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-18 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Nicole Comach with Virtual Side Walk, representing SBA Monarch Towers III, LLC (“Applicant”) and Salinas, Inc. (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. 2021-01 to renew the entitlements of an existing 60-foot tall major wireless communications facility disguised as a mono-pine located at 1209 East Wakeham Avenue. B. On April 12, 2010, the Planning Commission approved CUP No. 2010-01 allowing the construction of the subject major wireless communications facility. C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-198.3(b), a Conditional Use Permit is required for major wireless communications facilities established in the City of Santa Ana. D. In addition, SAMC Section 41-198.13 states that major wireless communications facilities shall be approved for a period not to exceed ten (10) years. E. As the current facility has reached its 10-year term, the applicant is required to apply for a new CUP in order to maintain the entitlements for the current facility. F. On April 12, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-01. G. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for CUP No. 2021-01 to renew the entitlements of an existing 60-foot tall major wireless communication facility: EXHIBIT 1CityCouncil1–5 4/12/2021 Resolution No. 2021-XX Page 2 of 6 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or the community. The major wireless communication facility will continue to provide a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to cellular services by providing cellular service and data coverage for its users within the vicinity. The issuance of a new CUP will allow the provider to continue to provide a service to the surrounding community. 2. That the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The issuance of a new CUP to maintain a wireless facility at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the facility will remain in compliance with Federal law that governs health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The facility is compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The stealthing provided by the facility’s location at the rear of the site will maintain and increase the economic stability for this industrial area by providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. 4. That the proposed use shall comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The use will continue to comply with all provisions pertaining to the continuation of existing wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the SAMC. The facility will continue to be stealthed by its design and surrounding landscape and will comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC. 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City. The major wireless communication facility will not adversely affect the General Plan as cellular facilities that are designed to be compatible with the surrounding environment are consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address City Council 1 –6 4/12/2021 Resolution No. 2021-XX Page 3 of 6 community needs, which includes means of communication that will be served by the facility. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity as well as mitigation of developments’ impacts. The mono- pine’s location minimizes visual impact on the area and assists with the stealthing of the equipment. Further, Policy 2.2 encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for services. Maintaining cellular coverage in the area maintains the services that are already available for business owners, workers, visitors and residents in the immediate vicinity. Section 2.In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2021-18 will be filed for this project. Section 3.The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M.

Use Permissions Allowed with approval of a CUP Uses Section 41-424 & 41-424.5(j)Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards Section 41-425 & 41-196(g) Project Background Chiles and Beer Restaurant occupies a 3,900-square foot building that was constructed in the 1960s. In 1993, the Planning Commission approved CUP No. 1993-09 allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption through a Type 47 (beer, wine, and distilled spirits) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. The building has been occupied by various restaurants over the years and was last occupied by Breakaway Sports Lounge and Eatery. Chiles and Beer took over the space in 2016 and on February of this year submitted a CUP application to allow after-hours operations. Project Analysis CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. CUPs may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. The purpose of regulating after-hours operations is to preserve the surrounding community characteristics and minimize any negative secondary impacts. Staff has reviewed the applicant’s request to operate the restaurant until 2:00 a.m. and has determined that the operations will not be detrimental to the community. The subject site abuts commercial uses to the north and south, Grand Avenue and commercial uses to the east, and a multiple-family residential community to the west. The residential community’s nearest building is 130 feet from the restaurant and it is buffered by the restaurant’s parking lot and an internal driveway and carports within the residential community. These factors will help buffer the residential uses from any light, noise, or traffic impacts that the eating establishment may have on the residents. To further mitigate this, as a condition of approval, staff is recommending that the applicant construct a seven-foot high block wall along the rear property line and install exterior/parking lot lighting. City Council 2 –2 4/12/2021 CUP No. 2021-06 – Chiles and Beer Restaurant April 12, 2021 Page 3 6 0 0 Approval of this application would be consistent with the goals of the General Plan, specifically Goals 2 and 5 of the Land Use Element which promotes land uses that enhance the City’s economic fiscal viability and mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community. In addition, the after-hours operations will contribute to the viability of the site creating a business environment that is safe and attractive. Police Department Analysis The Police Department reviews CUP applications for after-hours operations in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with such a use are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. For after-hours operations, the Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area by matching the location of the subject site’s census tract to the corresponding Police Grid. The City of Santa Ana contains 102 police reporting grids. The Police Department generates an annual report, the Citywide Incident Ranking report, which ranks these reporting grids based on police activity. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standards used by the State Business and Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department would consider this information in making its recommendation. Table 2: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 243; ranked 60 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (25th percentile) Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is well below the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime Police Department Recommendation The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards and conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting of a CUP. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and Business and Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation. As part of the application process, this application was reviewed by the Police Department. Based on their review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. City Council 2 –3 4/12/2021 CUP No. 2021-06 – Chiles and Beer Restaurant April 12, 2021 Page 4 6 0 0 Public Notification and Community Outreach Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 500-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. In addition to these measures, representatives of the Meredith Parkwood Neighborhood Association were contacted to identify any areas of concern due to the proposed request. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 1 - Existing Facilities). This exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The project consists of permit to allow after-hours operations at an existing restaurant. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-24 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

C. On April 12, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly public hearing for CUP No. 2021-06. D. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for CUP No. 2021-06 to allow after-hours operations at an existing restaurant located at 2106 North Tustin Avenue: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. The after-hours operations until 2:00 a.m. at the subject location will provide an ancillary service to individuals that wish to have a late night meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a food-related amenity offering services past 12:00 midnight. Conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and will A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2021-06 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW AFTER-HOURS OPERATIONS UNTIL 2:00 A.M. AT CHILES AND BEER RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 2106 NORTH TUSTIN AVENUE EXHIBIT 1CityCouncil 2 –6 4/12/2021 Resolution No. 2021-XX Page 2 of 8 ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. 2. 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. The proposed after-hours operations will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of those residing or working in the vicinity. The property to the west is a multiple-family residential community whose nearest residential structures are approximately 130 feet from the subject site and are buffered by the restaurant’s parking lot and an internal driveway and carports within the residential community. These factors will help buffer the residential uses from any light, noise, or traffic impacts that the eating establishment may have on the residents. To further mitigate this, as a condition of approval, the applicant is to construct a seven-foot-high block wall along the rear property line. The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards and conditions of approval applicable to after-hours activity will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting of the conditional use permit. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The after-hours operations will not adversely affect the economic stability or future economic development of properties in the surrounding area but will instead complement the surrounding uses promoting a balance of land uses that enhance the City’s economic and fiscal viability. Moreover, the offering of late night dining opportunities will contribute to the overall success of the City and will generate additional sale tax revenue. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The after-hours operations will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards pursuant to Chapter 41 of the SAMC. The restaurant will be maintained as a full-service, bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Operational standards and conditions of approval will ensure the project remains in compliance with all applicable codes City Council 2 –7 4/12/2021 Resolution No. 2021-XX Page 3 of 8 and regulations 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 proposed after-hours operations at this location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of CUP No. 2021-06 supports several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of eating establishments with extended hours of operation offers additional dining options to Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Conditions of approval will help maintain a safe and attractive environment. Lastly, Policy 5.5 encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. Chiles and Beer is located along a major arterial and is surrounded by other commercial businesses and restaurants that provided similar services and its operations will be compatible with the surrounding businesses. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination.

Publish: OC Reporter – Legal Section Date: March 31, 2021 City Council 2 –20 4/12/2021 Planning and Building Agency Item # 3 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report April 12, 2021 Topic: CUP No. 2021-04 – Euro Caffe RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-04 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Samuel Ruiz with Euro Caffe (Applicant), on behalf of BSG West Bristol, LLC (Property Owner) is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-04 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at an existing eating establishment located at 3950 South Bristol Street. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption require approval of a CUP. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request because of demonstrated compliance with zoning requirements as discussed and analyzed in the sections below, the site’s location away from sensitive land uses, and the property’s history of compliance with City codes and regulations. DISCUSSION Project Description Euro Caffe currently occupies a 564-square foot indoor tenant space and a 334-square foot enclosed outdoor patio within a multi-tenant commercial center. The eating establishment can accommodate up to 11 patrons within its dining area and approximately 22 patrons with the enclosed outdoor patio. Currently, the business operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. With approval of CUP No. 2021-04, the applicant intends to apply for a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license, which would allow the sale of beer and wine ancillary to food service. All alcoholic beverages will be stored within a standing refrigerator unit and lower shelf of an existing rack at the rear of the restaurant, which totals approximately 28 square feet. The storage area will make up less than five (5) percent of the total restaurant’s floor area as required by SAMC Section 41-196(g)(25). No after-hours operations that require approval of a separate CUP or live entertainment City Council 3 –1 4/12/2021 CUP No. 2021-04 – Euro Caffe April 12, 2021 Page 2 6 1 5 are proposed at this time. Should the applicant seek to provide live entertainment, approval of an entertainment permit will be required.

The shopping center contains other commercial units that are occupied by similar retail and service businesses. The applicant has been in operation of the tenant space since February of 2012, with the inclusion of an enclosed patio area in 2020. The establishment specializes in brunch and lunch options, coffee, and desserts. The inclusion of alcohol sales will allow the business to offer a small menu of alcoholic options, such as mimosas and wines. Project Analysis CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. CUPs may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. The purpose of regulating establishments that sell alcoholic beverages is to set forth operating practices and procedures and to minimize impacts to surrounding areas. Staff has reviewed the applicant’s request to sell beer and wine and has determined that the sale of alcoholic Item Information Project Address & Council Ward 3950 South Bristol Street Nearest Intersection Bristol Street and MacArthur Boulevard General Plan Designation District Center (DC) Zoning Designation Commercial Residential (CR) North Commercial East Commercial South Commercial (City of Costa Mesa) Surrounding Land Uses West Commercial Property Size 17.17 Acres Existing Site Development The site is currently developed as a multi-tenant commercial center Unit Size 898 square feet (including the outdoor enclosed patio) Use Permissions Allowed with approval of a CUP Uses Section 41-442(a) of SAMCZoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards Section 41-196(g) of SAMC City Council 3 –2 4/12/2021 CUP No. 2021-04 – Euro Caffe April 12, 2021 Page 3 6 1 5 beverages for on-premises consumption at the subject location will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption will provide an ancillary service to the restaurant’s customers by allowing them the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal and will allow Euro Caffe to be economically viable and compete with nearby full-service restaurants that offer the same services to their patrons. In addition, the operational standards applicable to an ABC license will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. Furthermore, the subject site is not located within immediate proximity to parks, playgrounds, schools, or religious institutions. As a result, the granting of the CUP will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses that may be nearby. Approval of the CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of full-service restaurants that provide alcoholic beverages offer additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the restaurant applicable to the ABC license will ensure maintenance of a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. Euro Caffe is located within a commercial development and its operations will be compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses. To ensure that the establishment operates as a bona fide restaurant and that the addition of alcoholic beverages to the business does not negatively impact the surrounding properties, conditions of approval have been added requiring recordation of a Property Maintenance Agreement and adoption and implementation of a Good Neighbor Policy. Police Department Analysis The Police Department reviews CUP applications for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with alcohol consumption are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. For on-sale licenses, the Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained in the Business and Professions Code Section 23948.4(c)(2), which are also utilized by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This section defines “reported crimes” as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. City Council 3 –3 4/12/2021 CUP No. 2021-04 – Euro Caffe April 12, 2021 Page 4 6 1 5 Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 131; ranked 52 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (50th percentile) Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is well below the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime Police Department Recommendation The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards applicable to on-premises ABC licenses will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting of a CUP. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and Business and Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation. As part of the application process, this application was reviewed by the Police Department. Based on their review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. Public Notification and Community Outreach Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 500-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. The subject site is not part of any known or active Neighborhood Association and is not adjacent to any nearby Neighborhood Association. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 1 - Existing Facilities). This exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The project proposes to allow the operation of an ABC license to sell beer and wine at an existing bona-fide restaurant. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-15 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Samuel Ruiz, business owner of Euro Caffe Restaurant (“Applicant”), on behalf of BSG West Bristol, LLC (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-04 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at an existing restaurant located at 3950 South Bristol Street. B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcohol for on-premises consumption. C. On April 12, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-04. D. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41- 638, have been established for CUP No. 2021-04 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at 3950 South Bristol Street: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility, which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or community. The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at the subject location will provide an ancillary service to the restaurant’s customers by allowing them the ability to purchase alcoholic beverages with their meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food related amenity. Operational standards applicable to the alcoholic beverage control (“ABC”) license and conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and will ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. City Council 3 –6 4/12/2021 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 2 of 7 2. 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. The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at the subject location will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity because the operational standards applicable to the ABC license and conditions of approval will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. The granting of the CUP will not negatively impact any sensitive land uses that may be nearby. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at the subject site will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to compete with other nearby eating establishments that offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. Moreover, the offering of alcoholic beverages will allow the restaurant to be economically viable and compete with nearby full-service eating establishments in Santa Ana and will contribute to the overall success of the City. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the SAMC 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 a restaurant selling alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 of the SAMC. The restaurant will be maintained as a full-service, bona-fide eating establishment, having suitable kitchen facilities and supplying an assortment of foods. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize less than five (5) percent of the gross floor area for display and storage of alcoholic beverages, which is the maximum threshold established by the SAMC. 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. City Council 3 –7 4/12/2021 Resolution No. 2021-XXX Page 3 of 7 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 sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption at the subject location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of CUP No. 2021-04 supports several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety of full-service eating establishments that provide alcoholic beverages as part of their menu offers additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the proposed ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. Euro Caffe restaurant is located within a multi-tenant commercial center and its operation is compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The project proposes to allow the operation of an ABC license to sell beer and wine at a bona-fide restaurant. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-15, will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M.
