EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jiayu Liu, representing Little Pan Fried Bun, on behalf of KRB Investments Management, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021- 19 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption (Type 41- Beer and Wine) at an existing eating establishment located at 2 E. Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 204. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption require approval of a CUP. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request because the site is located within a commercial center intended for such uses, the site is located away from sensitive land uses, and is in compliance with City standards. DISCUSSION Project Description The Little Pan Fried Bun restaurant occupies a 1,845-square-foot tenant space of an existing 13,068-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building located on the southeast corner of MacArthur Place and East MacArthur Boulevard. The restaurant can accommodate up to 40 patrons within the dining area and offers dine-in and to-go services daily from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Alcoholic beverages will be stored in reach-in refrigerators located within the back of house area and displayed in refrigerators near the dining area. The restaurant will have an overall display and storage area of 47 square feet, which is less than five percent of the gross floor area of the tenant space as required by the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 1 –1 CUP No. 2021-19 – Little Pan Fried Bun February 14, 2022 Page 2 2 0 0 1 Table 1: Project and Location Information Table 2: Operational Standards Standards Permissible by SAMC Provided Eating Establishment Type Bona-Fide Bona-Fide Hours of Operation for ABC Sales 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Window Display 25% of Window Coverage Complies Alcohol Storage and Display 5% of G.F.A 2.5% of G.F.A Exterior Telephone Prohibited None Project Background Little Pan Fried Bun is seeking to further expand their operations by proposing to sell beer and wine through a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. The on-premise sale and consumption of beer and wine is an ancillary component to its dining service options. As the sole location in Santa Ana, this restaurant is a locally based eating establishment known for offering Shanghai-style pan-fried pork buns. Entertainment is not proposed at this time. Should the applicant seek to provide on-site entertainment, approval of a separate entertainment permit will be required.

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 for the sale and consumption of beer and wine and has determined that the proposed CUP will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption is consistent with establishments in similar district centers that offer a mixture of uses, including but not limited to Downtown Santa Ana, the MainPlace Specific Plan area and the CityPlace specific development. It will provide an ancillary service to the establishment’s customers by allowing them to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal. Furthermore, it would allow Little Pan Fried Bun to be economically viable and compete with nearby full-service establishments that offer similar services to their patrons. The subject establishment is located in a commercial center surrounded by other commercial uses and nearby high-rise office and residential uses, making the proposed project compatible with adjacent land uses. Although there is a hotel and multi-family residences nearby, the proposed use will have a minimal impact on the residents since the residential units are within a high-rise structure and the hotel is across the street and not immediately adjacent to the business. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. An eating establishment at this location supports the mixed-use environment and may reduce vehicle trips made to restaurants that are further away. Therefore, the operations will also support Goal 1 of the General Plan Land Use Element to promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community, as it 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 offer alcoholic beverages as part of their menu offers additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Moreover, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The establishment will comply with the 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 1 –3 CUP No. 2021-19 – Little Pan Fried Bun February 14, 2022 Page 4 2 0 0 1 operation standards set forth in Section 41-196(f) of the SAMC, which will mitigate impacts to public health, safety, and welfare. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed CUP. 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. 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. Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 191; ranked 82 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (79th percentile) Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is 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-premise 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, the application was reviewed by the Police Department. Based on its review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. Public Notification and Community Outreach Project 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. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 1 –4 CUP No. 2021-19 – Little Pan Fried Bun February 14, 2022 Page 5 2 0 0 1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 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). A 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 existing or former use. The project proposes to allow the operation of an alcoholic beverage control license to sell alcoholic beverages at a bona- fide eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-127, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1. Resolution 2.

HUTTON CENTRE DRIVE, UNIT 204. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Jiayu Liu (“Applicant”), representing Little Pan Fried Bun, on behalf of KRB Investments Management, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-19 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at an existing eating establishment located at 2 E Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 204. B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on- premise consumption. C. On February 14, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-19. 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. 2021-19 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at an existing eating establishment located at 2 E Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 204. 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this location will provide an ancillary service to the eating establishment’s customers by allowing them to purchase alcoholic beverages with their meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an eating establishment 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 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 1 –6 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 8 2 0 0 2 use and will 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 sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this 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 alcoholic beverage control license and conditions of approval will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. A mixture of uses that are compatible with the proposed use including a hotel, multi- family residences and commercial uses surround and are adjacent to the site. Little Pan Fried Bun is intended to be a bona-fide restaurant and the addition of alcohol will be ancillary to the main use. All of the operational standards identified in SAMC Sec. 41-196 will apply to this establishment. Therefore, 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 proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the eating establishment to compete with other nearby eating establishments that offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. The alcohol license for on-premise sale and consumption will benefit individuals working and residing in the surrounding hotels, multi-family residential communities, and retail stores. New clientele will be attracted to this commercial center supporting pedestrian access from individuals living or working at close proximity. Moreover, offering the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will allow the eating establishment to remain economically viable and contribute to the overall success of Hutton Centre Mixed Use Specific Development, thereby contributing to the overall success of the City. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed conditional use permit will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on an eating establishment selling alcoholic 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 1 –7 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 8 2 0 0 2 beverages for on-premise consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 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 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. 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 proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of this CUP 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 restaurants that offer alcoholic beverages as part of their menu presents 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. Little Pan Fried Bun is located in a commercial center and its operations are 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 existing or former use. The project proposes to allow the operation of an alcoholic beverage control license to sell alcoholic beverages at a bona- fide eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-127, will be filed for this project. Section 3.

Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-20 as conditioned. 2. Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-02 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Xianglong Kong, representing Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori, on behalf of KRB Investments Management, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-20 and No. 2022-02 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on- premise consumption (Type 41- Beer and Wine) and after-hours operations at a new eating establishment located at 2 E. Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 203. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption and wishing to operate between the hours of 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and 7:00 a.m., require approval of respective CUPs. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request because the site is located within a commercial center intended for such uses, the site is located away from sensitive land uses, and the property’s history of compliance with City codes and regulations. DISCUSSION Project Description The Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori restaurant will occupy a 1,676 square-foot tenant space of an existing 13,068-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building located on the southeast corner of MacArthur Place and East MacArthur Boulevard. The restaurant is currently undergoing tenant improvements resulting in modified restroom, kitchen, dining and preparation areas. Once completed, the restaurant will accommodate up to 38 patrons within the dining area. Alcoholic beverages will be stored in reach-in refrigerators located within the preparation area and displayed in refrigerators near the dining area. The restaurant will have an overall display and storage area of 41 square feet, which is 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –1 CUP No. 2021-20 and 2022-02 – Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori February 14, 2022 Page 2 2 3 9 7 less than five percent of the gross floor area of the tenant space as required by the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). In addition to the request to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption, the applicant is requesting an after-hours operations CUP to operate daily from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. Table 1: Project and Location Information Table 2: Operational Standards Standards Permissible by SAMC Provided Eating Establishment Type Bona-Fide Bona-Fide Hours of Operation for ABC Sales 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., unless extended by a separate after- hours CUP 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. (per Section 41-196 of the SAMC) Window Display 25% of Window Coverage Complies Alcohol Storage and Display 5% of G.F.A 2.5% of G.F.A Exterior Telephone Prohibited None Project Background Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori is seeking to expand their future operations by proposing to sell beer and wine through a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. The on- premise sale and consumption of beer and wine will be an ancillary component to its dining service options. Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 2 Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 203 – Ward 6 Nearest Intersection MacArthur Place and East MacArthur Boulevard General Plan Designation District Center (DC) Zoning Designation Specific Development No. 76 (SD76) North Vacant East Professional Office South Multi-Family Residential Surrounding Land Uses West Hotel Property Size 1.45 acres (63,151 square feet) Existing Site Development The subject site contains a 13,068 square-foot multi-tenant commercial building and 53 off-street parking stalls. Unit Size 1,676 square feet Use Permissions Allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP) Uses SAMC Sections 41-196 (a) (d) (g) and SD76 Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-196(g) Census Tract and License Information Census Tract No.740.03 No. of Allowed and Existing Licenses 4 Allowed; 27 Existing 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –2 CUP No. 2021-20 and 2022-02 – Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori February 14, 2022 Page 3 2 3 9 7 As the sole location in Santa Ana, this restaurant will be a locally based eating establishment specializing in Japanese style ramen and skewer dishes. Entertainment is not proposed at this time. Should the applicant seek to provide on-site entertainment, approval of a separate entertainment permit will be required. 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 for the sale and consumption of beer and wine and to conduct after- hours operations, and has determined the proposed CUPs will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption and after-hours operations are consistent with establishments in similar district centers that offer a mixture of uses, including but not limited to Downtown Santa Ana, the MainPlace Specific Plan area and the CityPlace specific development. As a locally based establishment, Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori would provide a unique dining experience with an ancillary service to the establishment’s customers by allowing them to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal. Furthermore, it would allow the subject establishment to be economically viable and compete with nearby full-service establishments that offer similar services to their patrons. The subject establishment is located in a commercial center surrounded by other commercial uses, high-rise offices and residential uses, making the proposed project compatible with adjacent land uses. Although there is a hotel and multi-family residences nearby, the proposed use will have a minimal impact on residents since the residential units are within a high-rise structure and the hotel is across the street and not immediately adjacent to the business. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. An eating establishment at this location will be compatible with the surrounding businesses as it supports the mixed-use environment and may reduce vehicle trips made to restaurants that are further away. Therefore, the operations will also support Goal 1 of the General Plan Land Use Element to promote a balance of land uses to address basic community needs. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption and after-hours operations will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community, as it 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 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –3 CUP No. 2021-20 and 2022-02 – Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori February 14, 2022 Page 4 2 3 9 7 and services. Providing a variety of full-service restaurants and after-hours operations that offer alcoholic beverages as part of their menu offers additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the general wellbeing of the surrounding community. Moreover, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The establishment will comply with the operation standards set forth in Section 41-196(f) of the SAMC which will mitigate impacts to public health, safety, and welfare. Lastly, since 2004, the City has not received any complaints or issued any notice of violations to the property owner or previous tenants. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed CUPs. 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. 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. Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 191; ranked 82 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (79th percentile) Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is 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-premise 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, the application was reviewed by the 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –4 CUP No. 2021-20 and 2022-02 – Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori February 14, 2022 Page 5 2 3 9 7 Police Department. Based on its review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. Public Notification and Community Outreach Project 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 7. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 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 existing or former use. The project proposes to allow the operation of an alcoholic beverage control license to sell alcoholic beverages at a bona- fide eating establishment. As such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-130, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

HUTTON CENTRE DRIVE, UNIT 203. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A.Xianglong Kong (“Applicant”), representing Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori, on behalf of KRB Investments Management, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-20 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at a new eating establishment located at 2 E. Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 203. B.Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on- premise consumption. C.On February 14, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-20. 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. 2021-20 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at a new eating establishment located at 2 E. Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 203. 1.That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this location will provide an ancillary service to the eating establishment’s customers by allowing them to purchase alcoholic beverages with their meal. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an eating establishment 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. 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –6 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 8 1 6 6 1 0 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 sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this 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 alcoholic beverage control license and conditions of approval will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. A mixture of uses that are compatible with the proposed use including a hotel, multi-family residences and commercial uses surround and are adjacent to the site. Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori is intended to be a bona-fide restaurant and the addition of alcohol will be ancillary to the main use. All of the operational standards identified in SAMC Sec. 41-206 will apply to this establishment. Therefore, 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 proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the eating establishment to compete with other nearby eating establishments that offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. The alcohol license for on-premise sale and consumption will benefit individuals working and residing in the surrounding hotels, multi- family residential communities, and retail stores. New clientele will be attracted to this commercial center supporting pedestrian access from individuals living or working at close proximity. Moreover, offering the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will allow the eating establishment to remain economically viable and contribute to the overall success of Hutton Centre Mixed Use Specific Development, thereby contributing to the overall success of the City. 4.That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed conditional use permit will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on an eating establishment selling alcoholic beverages for on- premise consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 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 less than five (5%) percent of the gross floor area for display and storage 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –7 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 8 1 6 6 1 0 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 proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan.

FOR GOKUMI RAMEN & YAKITORI LOCATED AT 2 E. HUTTON CENTRE DRIVE, UNIT 203. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A.Xianglong Kong (“Applicant”), representing Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori, on behalf of KRB Investments Management, LLC (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2022-02 to allow after-hours operations until 2:00 a.m. and after-hours sales, service and consumption of alcoholic beverages at a new eating establishment located at 2 E. Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 203. B.Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-196 requires approval of a CUP for the sale, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. C.SAMC Section 41-196 requires a CUP to allow any business to operate between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. The Applicant is proposing to operate the business from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., two hours later than the SAMC prescribed limits. D.Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, the Planning Commission is authorized to review and approve the CUP for this project as set forth by the Santa Ana Municipal Code. E.On February 14, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2022-02. F.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. 2022-02 to allow sales, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., at a new eating establishment located at 2 E. Hutton Centre Drive, Unit 203. 1.That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community. 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –14 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 8 1 6 6 0 7 The proposed after-hours operations and sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this location will provide an ancillary service to the eating establishment’s customers by allowing them to purchase alcoholic beverages with their meal past midnight. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an eating establishment 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. 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 and sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this 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 alcoholic beverage control license and conditions of approval will address any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. A mixture of uses that are compatible with the proposed use including a hotel, multi-family residences and commercial uses surround and are adjacent to the site. Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori is intended to be a bona-fide restaurant and the addition of alcohol will be ancillary to the main use. All of the operational standards identified in SAMC Sec. 41- 196 will apply to this establishment. Therefore, 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 proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the eating establishment to compete with other nearby eating establishments that are open past midnight and offer a full selection of alcoholic beverages for sale to their customers. The after-hours operation and alcohol license for on-premise sale and consumption will benefit individuals working and residing in the surrounding hotels, multi- family residential communities, and retail stores. New clientele will be attracted to this commercial center supporting pedestrian access from individuals living or working at close proximity. Moreover, operating past midnight and offering the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will allow the eating establishment to remain economically viable and contribute to 2/14/2022 Planning Commission 2 –15 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 8 1 6 6 0 7 the overall success of Hutton Centre Mixed Use Specific Development, thereby contributing to the overall success of the City. 4.That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed conditional use permit will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards for businesses operating after-hours pursuant to Chapter 41 of 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. 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 operation and sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption at this location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of this CUP 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 restaurants that operate past midnight and offer alcoholic beverages as part of their menu presents 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. Gokumi Ramen & Yakitori is located in a commercial center and its proposed operations are 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 existing or former use.
