Separation Requirements for Check Cashing 1,000 Feet 7,843 Miles Project Background The project site was developed in 1967 as part of an integrated shopping center comprised of three parcels. The shopping center contains ten commercial units, on-site landscaping, and surface parking. The unit in question is approximately 25,600 square feet in size and was previously occupied by a Stater Bros. grocery store until March 2021. On August 11, 2021, the applicant submitted a development project application to the City for the proposed project. Since then, the applicant has worked with the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC) to ensure the project complies with current regulations. Additionally, the applicant has submitted for a major façade modification application, sign program application, and lot line adjustment application that are being processed concurrently but are subject to administrative review. 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. Conditional Use Permit for Off-Premises Alcohol Sales Northgate Market is a full-service grocery store that offers a variety of specialty goods, produce, meats, dairy, and traditional Hispanic pastries. Similar to other grocery stores, including the previous tenant Stater Bros., Northgate would also sell alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption to its customers under a Type 21 ABC License. Stater Bros. previously operated a Type 21 ABC License, but under a non-conforming approval. Because of the extended vacancy of the building following Stater Bros.’ departure, the 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –3 CUP No. 2021-15, CUP No. 2021-16, and VAR No. 2021-02 - Northgate Market (2603 West Westminster Avenue) February 28, 2022 Page 4 2 4 5 3 existing license became void after six months of vacancy pursuant to SAMC Section 41- 683.5, and a new CUP is therefore required. Approval of the CUP would not adversely affect the community rather it would broaden the availability of goods for the patrons of the Northgate. Furthermore, approval of the CUP is consistent with goals of the City’s General Plan, specifically Goal No. 1 and No. 2 of the Land Use Element which promotes land uses to address community needs and enhance the City’s economic and fiscal viability. Conditional Use Permit for Check-cashing Facility As part of goods and services offered at the facility, the applicant is proposing to offer check-cashing services to its customers through its onsite partner subtenant Prospera. This service would provide Northgate patrons with access to financial services that would not be typically available to them through traditional banking methods. Additionally, the proposed location meets the required separation from other check cashing facilities as it is more than 1,000 feet away from another check cashing facility, approximately 7,843 miles and would not adversely impact the community. Furthermore, approval of the CUP is consist with goals of the City’s General Plan specifically Goal No. 1 and No. 2 of the Land Use Element which promotes land uses to address community needs and enhance the City’s economic and fiscal viability. Variance for Wall Signage Variance requests are governed by Section41-638 of the SAMC. Variance requests may be granted if the following findings can be made: (1) that there are special circumstances applicable to the property, such as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings; that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter; (2) that the granting of a variance or minor exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights; (3) that the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. The applicant is requesting approval for a variance application to exceed the permissible wall signage and deviate from required placement of wall signs. Pursuant to Section 41- 863 of the SAMC, a wall sign at the entry way is permissible on the primary elevation in addition to two secondary elevations signs. As proposed, the business would install six wall signs that would be spread out across the south elevation, which is the primary elevation, and one identification sign on the west elevation. 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –4 CUP No. 2021-15, CUP No. 2021-16, and VAR No. 2021-02 - Northgate Market (2603 West Westminster Avenue) February 28, 2022 Page 5 2 4 5 3 The proposed site for the Northgate Market is an existing commercial center in which the subject business is a major anchor tenant. The existing entryway for the suite is located beneath a tile canopy. Strict application of the SAMC would require that the applicant place the wall sign at the canopy over the entry however, such placement would not afford the grocery store sufficient visibility from Westminster Avenue; placement west of the entry would provide for better visibility. Additional signage is also proposed to advertise the variety of goods and services offered at the grocery store such as the “panaderia”, where fresh traditional Hispanic pastries are made, the “tortilleria”, where fresh tortillas are made, and “cocina” where salsas and other food items are made from scratch. An additional sign is also proposed for Prospera Gonzalez, a subtenant within the grocery store. Limiting signage to an identification sign would deprive the grocery store the opportunity to advertise those goods and additional services unique to the niche market offered by the store. Furthermore, approval of this variance would not be materially detrimental to the public or surrounding property as the proposed signage would be integrated with the façade modifications. Finally, the granting of the variance would be consistent with the General Plan as the proposed business and associated site and building improvements are consistent with the General Commercial land use designation. Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Due to staff’s recommendation of approval, the issuance of a Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) letter is required. A PCN letter is required per Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4 as the State has determined that an overconcentration of off- premise ABC licensed establishments within the census tract exists. The City’s criteria for overconcentration of off-sale establishments are found in Section 41-196(d) of the SAMC. The overconcentration criteria apply to off-sale establishments that are less than 10,000 square feet in size. As Northgate Market will occupy a 25,600- square foot building, it is exempt from the City’s overconcentration criteria. However, the State’s criteria for overconcentration still apply. The State Department of ABC identifies a census tract as over-concentrated if the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to the population of the census tract which the premises is located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to the population of the county. Based on this analysis, census tracts in the City are allowed one licensed establishment per 1,672 residents. Northgate Market is located in Census Tract No. 891.02, which is allowed four (4) off-sale outlets based on the State’s criteria, while nine (9) active licenses currently exist. Of the nine (9) active licenses six (6) are within the City of Garden Grove. Table 3 below and Exhibit 9 on the following page identify the location of the existing licensed premises. As the map shows, the licensed establishments are disbursed throughout the census tract, with the closest licensed premises approximately 400 feet from the subject site. 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –5 CUP No. 2021-15, CUP No. 2021-16, and VAR No. 2021-02 - Northgate Market (2603 West Westminster Avenue) February 28, 2022 Page 6 2 4 5 3 Although the census tract is over-concentrated per State standards, the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at Northgate Market will not create any adverse impacts or adversely affect persons working or residing in the area. The sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits is an ancillary component of the grocery store. The grocery store owner currently operates six markets within the City of Santa Ana. The proposed grocery store will be the seventh location within the City. The building has been vacant since March of 2021. The Applicant is proposing exterior modifications to enhance the existing building and site to reflect the store architectural branding. Northgate markets provide an economic benefit to the City and a great service to the residents. Additionally, the markets provide their own security to minimize adverse impacts related to safety. Based on their record of success of conducting business within the City, Staff has determined that the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, welfare or character in the immediate area. In addition, the ancillary off-sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a grocery store will provide will an economic benefit that outweighs the potential negative impacts to the community. Based on the above, it is recommended that the Planning Commission authorize staff to issue a Letter of Public Convenience or Necessity (“PCN letter”) to the State Department of Alcoholic Beverages. The PCN letter will state that, despite the overconcentration of ABC licenses in the census tract, the issuance of an additional off-sale ABC license at this location is necessary to serve the public convenience, will not create any adverse impacts and will not impact the overall crime rate of the area.

For off-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 4: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation Police Grid No. and Rank Police Grid No. 84; ranked 358 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (356rd percentile) Threshold for High Crime This reporting district is below the 20 percent threshold established by the State for high crime Police Department Recommendation As part of the review approval process, this application was analyzed by the Santa Ana Police Department. Based on our review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards applicable to off-premise ABC licenses and check cashing facility operations in compliance with any and all applicable SAMC will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community and therefore does not oppose the granting of a CUP with the condition burglary bars be installed in any rooftop ventilation openings or air conditioning return and supply openings that exceed ninety-six inches square inches 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 Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations.

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. Kevin Le (“Applicant”), representing property owner Northgate Gonzalez, LLC is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-15 to allow operation of a check cashing facility at 2603 West Westminster Avenue. B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-365.5, a CUP is required for check cashing facilities established in the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district within the City of Santa Ana. C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-374.5, it shall be unlawful to establish any check cashing facility within one thousand (1,000) feet of another check cashing facility, measured from property line to property line. The subject location satisfies this code standard. D. On February 28, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-15 to allow a new check cashing facility. E. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this Conditional Use Permit pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-15 to establish a check cashing facility: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community. Northgate Market proposes to offer onsite check-cashing services through their partner, Propsera. In addition to check-cashing services, Propsera offers money transfer services and of means of making utility payments. Such services would be available with ease to Northgate Market patrons located in the comfort of their neighborhood grocery store. Approval of 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –9 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 9 would provide access to services that may not be available to members of the community and in approving such service would promote the general well-being of the 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 check-cashing service would not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area. The proposed check-cashing facility would be located within an existing commercial center and operate as an ancillary use within the Northgate Market. The subject site is also not located within 1,000 feet of another check-cashing facility, and the nearest such facility is located 7,843 miles away at 1601 West Seventeenth Street. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed check-cashing facility would be compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The proposed use is an ancillary service offered by the Northgate Market and would increase the economic stability by providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. Additionally, the overall site improvement proposed by Northgate market represent a major reinvestment to the commercial center. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The use will comply with all regulations and conditions identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the SAMC. The check-cashing facility would be located within a zoning district in which such facilities are permissible and provide sufficient separation (1,000 feet minimum) from another facility to satisfy the requirements detailed in the SAMC. The will occupy an existing commercial building. 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 check-cashing facility will not adversely affect the General Plan, as the use would be compatible with the surrounding environment and consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address community needs, which 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –10 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 9 includes the services provided by the check cashing facility. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity as well as mitigation of developments’ impacts. The proposed check-cashing facility would be contained within an existing commercial building and therefore would not visually impact the surrounding area. Further, Policy 2.2 encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for services. The proposed check-cashing facility provides a service that may not be available through traditional banking methods to residents and members of the community. 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. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-115 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.

Kevin Le (“Applicant”), representing property owner Northgate Gonzalez, LLC, is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2021-16 to allow the off-premises sale of alcoholic beverages at a new grocery store located at 2603 West Westminster Avenue. B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-196, a CUP is required for establishments selling alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption. C. On February 28, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2021-16. D. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-16 to allow the off-sale of alcoholic beverages at a new grocery store located at 2603 West Westminster Avenue. 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 grocery store would offer alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption to the residents and community of Santa Ana. This will thereby benefit the community by providing an additional establishment that provides goods and services to the City. 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. 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –18 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 10 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 grocery store selling alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption would 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 proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead will contribute to the City. The use will provide another establishment with sales of goods, identifying the use as an economically viable establishment in Santa Ana. In addition, the proposed establishment will contribute to the overall success of the City. Additionally, the overall site improvement proposed by Northgate market represent a major reinvestment to the commercial center. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed CUP would be in compliance with all applicable regulations and operational standards imposed on off-sale establishments selling alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption pursuant to Chapter 41 of 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 off-premise consumption will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of CUP No. 2021-16 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. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –19 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 10 environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards for the proposed ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood.

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. Kevin Le (“Applicant”), representing property owner Northgate Gonzalez, is requesting approval of Variance No. 2021-02 to allow relief from the sign placement requirements and exceed the number of permissible signage at 2603 Westminster Avenue. B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-863, one wall sign is permissible on the primary elevation that can be placed above the entryway and two secondary elevation signs. As proposed, the applicant is requesting six primary elevation signs to be spread out across the primary elevation and a secondary elevation identification sign for a total of seven wall signs, thus requiring approval of the subject variance. C. On February 28, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Variance No. 2021-02 to allow relief from the sign placement requirements and exceed the number of permissible signage. D. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this Variance pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for Variance No. 2021-2 to allow additional off-centered signage on the building façade: 1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. The subject site has special circumstances related to the design and shape of the existing building where strict application of the SAMC zoning code would deprive the subject property of privileges afforded to other properties within the 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –28 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 9 City. The proposed existing building features a tile canopy above the entryway on which the sign would be located with strict application of the SAMC. Such placement would deprive the applicant from providing adequate signage and limit visibility from Westminster Avenue. Furthermore, additional signage is essential to ensure adequate advertising for the specialized departments within the grocery store and subtenant Prospera. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property rights. Strict application of the SAMC would require that the applicant place the wall sign at the canopy over the entry however, such placement would not afford the grocery store sufficient visibility from Westminster Avenue; placement west of the entry would provide for better visibility. Furthermore, the additional signage is necessary to advertise the goods and services offered that are unique to the new Northgate Market. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding properties, as the design would complement the proposed façade modifications being processed under a separate application. Moreover, the additional signage advertising goods and services would be scaled down in size and minimize any potential visual intrusion and overcrowding of signage on the primary elevation. Additionally, the signage would face Westminster Avenue and other commercial centers and is not anticipated to impact any residential properties. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance would not adversely affect the City’s General Plan as the corresponding land use designation General Commercial (GC) allows signage in conjunction with the permitted uses. Additionally, approval the proposed signage is consistent with several goals of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address community needs, which the additional advertising would promote. In addition, approval of the variance would enhance the City’s economic and fiscal viability by bringing awareness to the community of the 2/28/2022 Planning Commission 1 –29 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 9 available services at the Northgate Market through the proposed signage. 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. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-115 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. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve the legal counsel providing the City’s defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action. Section 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves Variance No. 2021-2, as conditioned in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein for the project located at 2603 W. Westminster Avenue. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to the Request for Planning Commission Action dated February 28, 2022, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
