Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-05 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bao Dinh, representing Lotus Restaurant, on behalf of Than Vo (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2022-05 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption (Type 41- Beer and Wine) at a new eating establishment located at 2601 West Edinger Avenue. Pursuant to Section 41-196 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), establishments wishing to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption requires approval of a CUP. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request because the site is surrounded by commercial uses, is not immediately adjacent to sensitive land uses and the new restaurant would increase economic activity at the vacant site. DISCUSSION Project Description The Lotus Restaurant will occupy a 2,096 square-foot restaurant building located on the north side of Edinger Avenue between Fairview Street and Sullivan Street. The restaurant will undergo interior tenant improvements resulting in modified kitchen, dining and preparation areas. Once completed, the restaurant will accommodate up to 30 patrons within the dining area. Site improvements will also be completed and include construction of a trash enclosure, installation of landscaping, restriping and resurfacing of the parking lot. Alcoholic beverages will be stored in a designated alcohol storage closet behind the kitchen area. The restaurant will have an overall alcohol storage area of 39 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). 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –1 CUP No. 2022-05 – Lotus Restaurant June 13, 2022 Page 2 2 6 0 6 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 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Window Display 25% of Window Coverage Complies Alcohol Storage and Display 5% of G.F.A 1.9% of G.F.A Exterior Telephone Prohibited None Project Background The Lotus Restaurant is seeking to expand 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, which is a use allowed by right in the subject zoning district. As the sole location in Santa Ana, this restaurant will be a locally-based eating establishment specializing in pan-Asian cuisine. 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. Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 2601 West Edinger Avenue – Ward 2 Nearest Intersection Edinger Avenue and Fairview Street General Plan Designation General Commercial (GC) Zoning Designation Community Commercial (C1) North Parking Lot / Storage Yard East Parking Lot South Single-Family Residential and Commercial Shopping Center Surrounding Land Uses West Commercial Shopping Center Property Size 0.32 acres (13,983 square feet) Existing Site Development The subject site contains a 2,096 square-foot restaurant building and 24 off-street parking stalls. Unit Size 2,096 square feet Use Permissions Allowed with a conditional use permit (CUP) Uses SAMC Sections 41-196 (a) (d) (g) Zoning Code Sections Affected Operational Standards SAMC Section 41-196(g) Census Tract and License Information Census Tract No.748.03 No. of Allowed and Existing Licenses 11 Allowed; 4 Existing 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –2 CUP No. 2022-05 – Lotus Restaurant June 13, 2022 Page 3 2 6 0 6 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 has determined the proposed CUPs will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. As a locally-based establishment, the Lotus Restaurant would provide a unique dining experience with an ancillary service to their customers by allowing them to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal. It would also allow the subject establishment to be economically viable and compete with full-service establishments that offer similar services to their patrons. The subject establishment is surrounded by commercial uses to the west, south and east across the adjacent parking lot, making the proposed project compatible with adjacent land uses. Although there are single-family residences nearby, the proposed use will have a minimal impact on residents since the residential units are located across an arterial street and not immediately adjacent to the business. Policy 1.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element encourages development that fosters compatibility between land uses to enhance livability. An eating establishment at this location will be compatible with the surrounding businesses as it supports the commercial environment along Edinger Avenue. Therefore, the proposed project also supports Goal 1 and 2 of the Land Use Element to provide a land use plan that improves quality of life, respects the existing community, and provides a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities. The project offers an additional service and amenity for Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the economic viability of the area by promoting local spending and providing a safe workplace. Policy 2.7 of the Land Use Element supports land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of business in Santa Ana. Allowing customers the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal will allow The Lotus Restaurant to enhance their business offerings and compete with nearby full- service restaurants that offer similar services. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –3 CUP No. 2022-05 – Lotus Restaurant June 13, 2022 Page 4 2 6 0 6 Moreover, Policy 3.7 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create clean, safe, and creative environments for the City’s residents, workers, and visitors. The reinvestment in the vacant site will enhance the overall aesthetics of the area and increase activity during additional business hours, thereby preserving safety and encouraging further economic development of the area. Lastly, the establishment will comply with the operational 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 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 Police Department. Based on its review, the Police Department has no issues of concern regarding this application. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –4 CUP No. 2022-05 – Lotus Restaurant June 13, 2022 Page 5 2 6 0 6 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 1,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. The site 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 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. 2022-20, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1. Resolution 2.

Copy of Public Notices Submitted By: Eric Martin, Assistant Planner I Approved By: Minh Thai, Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency, Planning and Building Agency 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –5 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 1 of 8 RESOLUTION NO. 2022-XXX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2022-05 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW THE ON-PREMISE SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AT THE LOTUS RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 2601 W EDINGER AVENUE 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.Bao Dinh, representing Lotus Restaurant, on behalf of Than Vo (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2022-05 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption (Type 41- Beer and Wine) at a new eating establishment located at 2601 West Edinger Avenue. 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 June 13, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2022-05. 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. 2022-05 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at a new eating establishment located at 2601 West Edinger 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 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. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –6 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 8 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. The subject establishment is surrounded by commercial uses to the west, south and east across the adjacent parking lot, making the proposed project compatible with adjacent land uses. Although there are single-family residences nearby, the proposed use will have a minimal impact on residents since the residential units are located across an arterial street and not immediately adjacent to the business. The Lotus Restaurant 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 the surrounding area as the reinvestment in the vacant site will increase economic activity during additional business hours. Moreover, offering the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will allow the eating establishment to remain economically viable, 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 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –7 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 8 five percent (5%) 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 a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities. The project offers an additional service and amenity for Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the economic viability of the area by promoting local spending and providing a safe workplace. Furthermore, Policy 3.7 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create clean, safe, and creative environments for the City’s residents, workers, and visitors. Operational standards for the proposed ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood for customers and employees. Policy 1.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element encourages development that fosters compatibility between land uses to enhance livability. The Lotus Restaurant is near retail, eating establishments and service uses along Edinger Avenue 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. 2022-20, 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 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –8 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 4 of 8 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.

Publish: OC Reporter Date: May 25, 2022 1000’ RADIUS NOTIFICATION MAP 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 1 –21 Planning and Building Agency Item # 2 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report June 13, 2022 Topic: CUP No. 2022-09 – Board and Brew RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-09 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kevin Kohan with Elevated Entitlements representing Board and Brew (applicant), on behalf of Excel Realty Partners, LP (property owner), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2022-09 to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption (Type 41-Beer and Wine) at a new eating establishment located at 3305 South Bristol Street, Unit A. 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 Board and Brew will occupy a 2,325-square-foot tenant space within a 4,000-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building located near the southeast corner of Bristol Street and Alton Avenue. The building is currently undergoing exterior and interior improvements providing an enhanced architectural design, new outdoor dining area, refreshed landscaping and an additional tenant space. The restaurant will accommodate up to 53 patrons within the interior dining area and 34 patrons within the 791 square-foot outdoor patio area. Dine-in and to-go services will be offered daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Alcoholic beverages will be stored in the back- of-house walk-in cooler and dispensed via a draft beer system at a centrally positioned bar. The restaurant will have an overall display and storage area of 29 square feet, which 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –1 CUP No. 2022-09 – Board and Brew June 13, 2022 Page 2 2 7 0 2 is less than five percent of the gross floor area of the tenant space as required by the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). 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. 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Window Display 25% of Window Coverage Complies Alcohol Storage and Display 5% of G.F.A 1% of G.F.A Exterior Telephone Prohibited None Project Background Board and Brew is a fast-casual chain restaurant that offers deli sandwiches, salads, wraps, and craft beer. The chain restaurant currently operates at nearby locations in Tustin, Anaheim and Huntington Beach with a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license at each establishment. The subject location is requesting to join these locations in offering a similar service to Santa Ana residents by including beer and wine as an ancillary component to their dining service options. 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 beer and wine for on-premise consumption is consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Policy 1.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element encourages development that fosters compatibility between land uses to enhance livability. The subject establishment is located in a commercial center surrounded by commercial and residential uses, making the project compatible with adjacent land uses. Although there are single-family residences nearby, the proposed use will have a minimal impact on the residents since the residential units are not immediately adjacent to the business and are buffered by the subject multi-tenant shopping center. Therefore, the proposed project also supports Goal 1 and 2 of the Land Use Element to provide a land use plan that improves quality of life, respects the existing community, and provides a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities. The project offers an additional service and amenity for Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the economic viability of the area by promoting local spending and providing a safe workplace. Policy 2.7 of the Land Use Element supports land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of business in Santa Ana. Allowing customers the ability to purchase a variety of alcoholic beverages with their meal will allow Board and Brew to enhance their business offerings and compete with nearby full-service restaurants that offer similar services. Moreover, Policy 3.7 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create clean, safe, and creative environments for the City’s residents, workers, and visitors. The establishment will comply with the operational standards set forth in Section 41-196(g) of the SAMC, which will mitigate impacts to public health, safety, and welfare. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed CUP. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –3 CUP No. 2022-09 – Board and Brew June 13, 2022 Page 4 2 7 0 2 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. 150; ranked 41 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids (39th 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 property does not fall within the 20 percentile high crime threshold. The Police Department is satisfied that the operational standards applicable to on premise type 41 ABC license and conclude that the conditions set forth will mitigate any potential negative impact 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 1,000-foot notification radius map, 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –4 CUP No. 2022-09 – Board and Brew June 13, 2022 Page 5 2 7 0 2 and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. Moreover, the property is located within the boundaries of the South Coast Neighborhood Association, and the president has received copies of the public notice. 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). 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. 2022-22, will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1. Resolution 2.

BRISTOL STREET, UNIT A 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 Kohan (“Applicant”) with Elevated Entitlements, representing Board and Brew, on behalf of Excel Realty Partners, LP (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2022-09 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at an existing eating establishment located at 3305 S. Bristol Street, Unit A. 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 June 13, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on CUP No. 2022-09. 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. 2022-09 to allow the on-premise sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at an existing eating establishment located at 3305 S. Bristol Street, Unit A. 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 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 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –6 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 8 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. Board and Brew 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 single and multi- family residential communities, and commercial uses. 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 the South Bristol Street District Center, 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 percent (5%) of the 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –7 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 8 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 a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities. The project offers an additional service and amenity for Santa Ana residents and visitors, thereby positively contributing to the economic viability of the area by promoting local spending and providing a safe workplace. Furthermore, Policy 3.7 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create clean, safe, and creative environments for City’s residents, workers, and visitors. Operational standards for the proposed ABC license will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood for customers and employees. Policy 1.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element encourages development that fosters compatibility between land uses to enhance livability. Board and Brew 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. 2022-22, 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 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –8 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 4 of 8 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.

Publish: OC Reporter Date: May 25, 2022 1000’ RADIUS NOTIFICATION MAP 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 2 –23 Planning and Building Agency Item # 4 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report June 13, 2022 Topic: Adopt Resolution to Vacate a Portion of Alley RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution finding that Abandonment 2021-01 is consistent with the General Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The property owners at 207 West Second Street requests the City to vacate a portion of alley adjacent to their property. The portion of alley to be vacated was improved in 2014 in accordance with a license agreement. The City has no current or prospective use for the portion to be vacated, and the portion of alley to remain public allows for sufficient public access. Staff recommends Planning Commission find the vacation of the portion of alley to be consistent with the General Plan. DISCUSSION On December 2, 2014, City Council approved the execution of a Right of Entry and License Agreement (license) with Corbiz, LLC, (Corbiz) to install and maintain improvements within the alley north of Second Street between Broadway and Sycamore Street. The portion of alley subject to the license is adjacent to the Southern Counties Gas Company (SCG) Building at 207 West Second Street. The existing license allowed for the space to be improved and used as an enclosed patio and utility area. Because of the long-term nature of the patio improvements, and the absence of need to use the portion of alley for public access, Corbiz has requested the City to vacate the right of way. The requested vacation area is a 932 square foot portion of a north-south aligned, dead- end alley situated between the Santora Building at 207 North Broadway and the SCG Building as shown on Exhibits 1 and 2. The alley is connected to Second Street in the Artists Village and terminates at a private parking lot owned by Corbiz at 214 North Sycamore Street. Prior to the construction of the patio improvements in 2014, the alley space had long been underutilized and subject to criminal activity and trash accumulation. In recent years, the 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 4 –1 June 13, 2022 Page 2 2 5 8 8 owner of the SCG Building, Corbiz, has constructed improvements within the remaining portion of alley, including removal of the outdated archway at the alley northerly terminus, reconstruction of the stairs and access ramp, installation of drainage improvements, and replacement of the pavement tiles. According to a title report submitted by the applicant, the City owns an easement over the portion of alley, which if vacated would revert to Corbiz and incorporated into the SCG parcel. The remainder of the alley easement will continue to allow the public access between Second Street and the private parking lot. Utilities, other government agencies, and City agencies have been advised of the alley easement vacation. In addition, in order to restrict enclosure of the vacated space, Corbiz would be required to record a covenant to prohibit new structures and maintain the area as open space before the vacation of the streets becomes effective. The final vacation resolution to be considered for adoption by City Council will include this condition. Staff determined that the City does not have any use for this portion of the alley, presently or in the future. California Government Code Section 65402 (Restrictions on Acquisition and Disposal of Real Property) requires a Planning Commission to review and approve certain actions related to City property. Actions related to acquiring, using, or disposing of public property require the Planning Commission to review the proposed use for conformity with the General Plan. General Plan Conformance The proposed vacation is in conformance with the City’s 2022-2045 General Plan as follow: The proposed vacation conforms to General Plan Goal M-5, Policy M-5.7– Infrastructure Condition that states “enhance travelway safety by maintaining streets, alleys, bridges, sidewalks, lighting, and other transportation infrastructure in excellent condition.” The proposed vacation will improve pedestrian the connectivity through Second Street and Third Street and allow for amenities to be provided to support the downtown businesses and serve the community. The proposed vacation conforms to General Plan Goal UD-2, Policy UD-2.7- Buidling and Strengthening Identity that states “collaborate with community stakeholders to strengthen and foster development of community and neighborhood identity and district character through complementary architecture, unique streetscapes, and programming.” The alley vacation will provide opportunities for better programming with events already taking place in the existing breezeway that connect Broadway and Sycamore Street, which will further strengthen the downtown identity. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 4 –2 June 13, 2022 Page 3 2 5 8 8 The recommended action adopts a resolution of Planning Commission’s determination that vacation of the portion of alley is consistent with the General Plan. Project Description The portion of alley to be vacated currently contains an enclosed patio area with a combination block wall/wrought iron fence, gas lamp lighting fixtures, and brick pavers. Additionally, vacation area contains a utility enclosure with electrical panels, a water main manifold, and gas meters. No changes to the existing improvements are proposed. Table 1: Project and Location Information Project Analysis There is no project at this location. Public Notification As a non-summary street vacation, the alley vacation will be considered by City Council at two separate regular public meetings. For the first meeting, staff will recommend City Council adopt a resolution declaring its intent to vacate the alley and set a date for a public hearing. At the second meeting, staff will recommend City Council adopt a resolution vacating the alley after a public hearing. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption ER No. 2022-59 will be filed for this project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving the Fairview Bridge Replacement and Street Improvements Project for conformance with the City of Santa Ana General Plan Circulation Element (Non-General Fund) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Adopt a Resolution determining the Fairview Bridge Replacement and Street Improvements is in conformance with the City of Santa Ana General Plan Circulation Element. DISCUSSION Fairview Street is classified as a north-south Major Arterial in the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Improving Fairview Street from 9th Street to 16th Street has been a long-term priority project. The proposed Project would widen Fairview Street from two lanes to three lanes in each direction. Additionally, the Fairview Street Bridge would be replaced with a new six-lane bridge (three lanes in each direction), including a complete bridge deck with barrier rails, raised barrier for sidewalk and bicycle path, a raised median, and lighting. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve pedestrian/bicyclist safety and traffic flow on Fairview Street. Currently, south of Ninth Street, Fairview Street provides three lanes in each direction, which are reduced to two lanes in each direction north of Ninth Street, across the existing four-lane bridge, to Sixteenth Street. In addition, there are no sidewalks, bikeways, or lighting on the existing bridge. Pedestrians and bicyclists currently use the roadway shoulder to cross the bridge. The project will improve mobility for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, and accessibility by installing raised barrier to separate the motorist from pedestrians and bicyclists on the bridge. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 5 –1 June 13, 2022 Page 2 2 7 9 6 The project is part of the adopted 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program. The Public Works Agency prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project on April 7, 2020 that was circulated for a 30-day public review period and City Council certified the Mitigated Negative Declaration on June 16, 2020. Since then, City staff has been working on the final design and acquiring one full acquisition and two partial acquisition for line of sight clearance. The project is being funded by the Caltrans’ Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Program (HBRR), OCTA’s Measure M2 competitive grant, and Local Gas Tax HUTA. California Government Code Section 65402 (Restrictions on Acquisition and Disposal of Real Property) requires a Planning Commission to review and approve certain actions related to City property. Actions related to acquiring, using, or disposing of public property require the Planning Commission to review the proposed use for conformity with the General Plan. General Plan Conformance The proposed vacation is in conformance with the City’s 2022-2045 General Plan as follow: The proposed project conforms to General Plan Goal M-1 o Policy M-1.2 Balanced Multimodal Network to “provide a balanced and equitable multimodal circulation network that reflect current and changing needs.” The project will replace an old bridge that will provide multimodal options to users. o Policy M-1.5 Multimodal Level of Service to “ensure that new development and City projects maintain and improve the current level of service for all modes of transportation.” The proposed project will include an additional lane in each direction, an 8-foot wide sidewalk on each side, safety lighting and a 5-foot bike lane in each direction. o Policy M-1.6 Complete Streets to “transform travelways to accommodate all users through street design and amenities, such as sidewalks, trees, landscaping, street furniture, and bus shelters. o Policy M-1.9 Regional Consistency to “ensure the street network is consistent with standards set in the OCTA Master Plan of Arterial Highways and the Congestion Management Program”. Fairview Street is identified as a Major Arterial in the General Mobility Element Table M-1 Street Classifications that describes a Major Arterial as a street with six travel lanes and a center median. Typically includes bus transit, pedestrian sidewalks, and bicycle lanes with a typical Right-of-Way of 100 feet. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 5 –2 June 13, 2022 Page 3 2 7 9 6 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving to Summarily Vacate a Portion of Santa Ana Boulevard. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Santa Ana is the current owner of the property at 1247 West Santa Ana Boulevard. The property will be sold to Rafael and Yolanda Ramos, both the owners of the property at 415 North Bristol Street. The sale includes a strip of land that is being vacated. DISCUSSION During the course of the Bristol Street Improvement Project, the Public Works Agency has acquired numerous properties along the corridor. The subject property at 1247 W. Santa Ana (APN 008-082-29) was acquired as part of the Bristol Street Improvements from 2nd Street to Civic Center Drive using Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) funding appropriated for this project (Exhibit 1). The purchase price was based on appraised values prepared by a state-licensed appraiser. The remnant portion of this property remains unused and unneeded following Project construction, and have been held for purposes of exchange or sale. The subject property is among those the City declared surplus and or which no responses were received by entities receiving the notices of availability; or for which negotiations ended, and with no other proposals, the City as completed all Surplus Land Act requirements for disposition. The proceeds from the sale of this property are considered as restricted funds and will be used to reimburse the granting agencies, and/or to fund further transportation improvements within the same or similar project. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 6 –1 June 13, 2022 Page 2 2 5 8 8 General Plan Consistency Before the City can dispose of or acquire any real property, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed transaction for conformity with the General Plan as set forth in California Government Code Section 65402 (a): “If a general plan or part thereof has been adopted, no real property shall be acquired by dedication or otherwise for street, square, park or other public purposes, and no real property shall be disposed of, no street shall be vacated or abandoned, and no public building or structure shall be constructed or authorized, if adopted general plan or part thereof applies thereto, until the location, or abandonment, or such public building or structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof…” To determine whether the land disposition conforms to the General Plan, the Planning Commission evaluate whether the disposition carries out General Plan policies or is contrary to or would impede the implementation of General Plan policies. The sale of the surplus property located at 1247 W. Santa Ana Blvd., is consistent with the City’s General plan and the project advances the following goals and policies of the General Plan: Economic Prosperity Goal EP-1: Job Creation and Retention – Foster a dynamic local economy that provides and creates employment opportunities for all residents in the City. o Policy EP-1.9 Avoid Conflict of Uses – Avoid potential land use conflicts by prohibiting the location of sensitive receptors and noxious land uses in close proximity. The disposition of surplus land will allow the existing business to expand their operations by providing adequate parking to accommodate the existing business and will be consistent with the uses allowed under C5 Zone (Arterial Commercial) and consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation UN-30. Economic Prosperity Goal EP-3: Business Friendly Environment – Promote a business friendly environment where business thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and opportunities. Land Use Element Goal LU-2: Land Use Needs – Provide a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. o Policy LU-2.2 Capture Local Spending. Encourage a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending, and offer a range of employment opportunities. 6/13/2022 Planning Commission 6 –2 June 13, 2022 Page 3 2 5 8 8 Project Description The proposed vacation is for an unimproved surplus portion of land situated on the north side of Santa Ana Boulevard (behind the northerly sidewalk), east of Bristol Street (Exhibit 2). The buyers are planning to improve the vacant property with the construction of a new parking lot, which will increase the parking capacity of the Ramos Tires and Auto Repair business to serve its customers. Table 1: Project and Location Information Project Analysis There is not project at this location. Public Notification The summary vacation and the sale of the property will be recommended for approval by the City Council at a regular public meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed sale of surplus land is not a “project” under Section 15060(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Additionally, Section 15312 of the CEQA State Guidelines exempts sales of surplus government property, except for parcels of land located in an area of statewide regional or area-wide concern. The subject property is not located in such an area and therefore, not subject to CEQA. As such, a Categorical Exemption No. 2022-023 will be filed for this action.
