PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On December 14, 2009, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution
approving modifications to Variance No. 2004-09 allowing a cover charge,
serving draft beer, allowing bottle service, advertising or signs
indicating the availability of alcohol, expansion into the basement level
and allowing the hours of operation from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. as
conditioned; and adopted a resolution approving modifications to Variance
No. 2004-09 pertaining to dancing, and use of the rear door by a vote of
6:0 for the Proof Bar located at 215 North Broadway. The Planning
Commission deleted Condition No. 24 in the staff report (Exhibit A),
regarding use of the rear door for emergencies and deliveries. This
allows for Proof Bar's patrons to use the alley area behind the bar
primarily as an outdoor smoking area. There would be no liquor service
available in the outdoor area.
On January 4, 2010, the City Council set the matter for Public Hearing at
the February 1, 2010 City Council Meeting by a vote of 7:0.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Mr. Justin Reuter and Mr. Joey Mendes, business partners of the Proof bar,
are requesting approval to modify the conditions for a bar in the Santora
Building located at 215 North Broadway.
Property Description
The bar is located in the Santora Building within the Artists Village.
The building, constructed in 1929, is located at the northeast corner of
Broadway and Second Street. The bar is located on the ground floor of a
two-story commercial building with frontage on Broadway.
The subject site has a zoning designation of Central Business-Artists
Village (C3-A) and has a General Plan land use designation of District
Center (DC).
EXHIBIT A
75B-3
Modification to Variance No. 2004-09
December 14, 2009
Page 2
The surrounding uses include a collection of restaurant, retail, artist
galleries and studios within the Santora Building: a vacant building, a
former electric substation and future live-work lofts to the east; a
public garage and a variety of office and commercial uses to the north;
multi-family residential uses and assorted commercial uses to the west;
and restaurant and the Cal State Fullerton gallery, art program and
student housing to the south (Exhibits 1 and 2).
Project Description
The bar currently occupies approximately 2,249 square feet on the ground
floor of the Santora Building. The existing floor plan layout consists of
a fixed bar, storage space and non-fixed seating and tables (Exhibit 3).
The applicant proposes modifications to the existing conditions of
Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-21 (Exhibit 4). The changes requested
include the hours of operation, outdoor sale and consumption of alcohol,
allowing the rear door to be kept open, sale of draft beer, sale of "hard"
alcohol by the bottle, dancing, the allowance of a cover charge and the
expansion of the bar into the basement.
Analysis of the Issues
Variance No. 2004-09 was granted to allow a bar use within the Artists
Village zone. Along with the variance granted, conditions of approval
mirroring Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-21 were also granted. The
request of the applicants is identical with their request to modify CUP
No. 2004-21. Staff has analyzed the modifications to Variance No. 2004-
09 consistent with the analysis and recommendation of CUP No. 2004-21.
The changes requested include the hours of operation, outdoor sale and
consumption of alcohol, allowing the rear door to be kept open, sale of
draft beer, sale of "hard" alcohol by the bottle, dancing, the allowance
of a cover charge and the expansion of the bar into the basement.
In 2004, when the Proof Bar was granted permission to operate a bar
within the downtown, conditions were imposed to ensure that the bar
would operate in concert with the surrounding uses. The conditions that
were imposed were intended to mitigate potential impacts created by the
use and help to ensure the use would not negatively affect the
surrounding community. During the continuance period since the initial
Zoning Administrator hearing in February 2008 the Police Department
noted a significant number of calls for service to the area. These
75B-4
Modification to Variance No. 2004-09
December 14, 2009
Page 3
calls included a variety of incidences ranging from drunk in public,
fighting, stabbing and shooting. During these calls for service it was
observed that the bar facility was not operating within the boundaries
of the conditions of approval. Staff brought these matters to the
attention of Mr. Reuter and Mr. Mendes approximately six months ago and
since then the operation has not had calls for service.
The Police Department has reviewed the application for police-related
concerns. The bar is located within an area of the City considered above
average in police-related incidents. The area is located in Reporting
District No. 165, which ranks 10th out of 102 citywide districts in total
number of police-related incidents, which is not unusual for a high-
activity area such as the Artists Village. In order to minimize the
potential impacts associated with late hours and alcoholic beverage sales
at this location, the Police Department recommended conditional approval
of the project in 2004. These conditions are intended to mitigate any
problems that may negatively affect the adjacent neighborhood and
surrounding area that may result from the bar operations.
Based on the time that has passed since the last Zoning Administrator
hearing, staff has had an opportunity to further analyze the applicant's
request. The following provides a brief analysis of each condition's
modification request:
Sales, service and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted
only between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., daily.
Currently, Variance No. 2004-09 allows the bar to operate from 4:00 p.m.
to 2:00 a.m. seven days a week. Those hours are consistent with the hours
requested by the original applicant in 2004. The current owners of the
bar have requested a start time of 6:00 a.m. to accommodate potential
special events. The earlier than normal start time is concerning to staff
based on the potential negative effects stemming from the early start and
are recommending an amendment to allow the hours of operation from
11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
No sales or consumption of alcoholic beverages shall take place outside.
The applicant is requesting the use of the public alley behind the
building for use as an outdoor area. While outdoor dining areas are
commonplace within the downtown setting, outdoor liquor service in the
absence of a food menu is not. This request creates two issues of major
concern.
75B-5
Modification to Variance No. 2004-09
December 14, 2009
Page 4
The first area of concern is the potential for near-term and long-term
incompatibility of land use. Currently, within the immediate surroundings
residential uses are located within the Cal State Fullerton building along
Second Street, as well along the west side of Broadway from First to Third
Streets. Future residential uses along Sycamore Street between Second and
Third Streets are already entitled and the potential addition of mixed-use
zoning in the downtown could bring further residential units.
Additionally, many commercial uses ranging from office to retail are
located adjacent to or in close proximity of the bar. Staff has strong
concerns that the use of the alley space may create negative issues with
existing and future surrounding uses. The potential negative concerns
include loitering, glare, noise, appearance and general clean up, any one
of which may pose an issue with the continued orderly development of the
area.
The second area of concern relates to the assumption that the public alley
is available to the applicant for purposes of expanding the bar's
operations outdoors. The Santa Ana Municipal code contains provisions for
outdoor dining in the public right of way (SAMC 33-168 et. seq.).
Pursuant to section 33-170 the Director of Public Works may grant an
outdoor dining permit to allow food service establishments to create
service areas in the public right-of-way. However, such permits may only
be granted for areas that are immediately adjacent to a food service
establishment. As Proof is not a food service establishment, but is
instead a bar with no food service, they would not be eligible for an
outdoor dining permit.
Staff cannot recommend approval of the applicant's request to modify the
condition prohibiting the outdoor sales and service of alcohol. Further,
the code prohibits such use due to the requirement that outdoor dining
permits may only be granted to food service establishments. Staff
recommends that the Planning Commission confirm the action of the Zoning
Administrator regarding the retention of this condition.
The rear door shall be kept closed at all times during the operation of
the premises except in cases of emergency and to permit deliveries.
Said door not to consist solely of a screen or ventilated security door.
This condition was originally retained by the Zoning Administrator. The
applicant has appealed this condition in order to request that the rear
door be allowed to remain open, thereby allowing patrons to congregate in
the public alley directly behind the bar. The appeal of this condition is
directly associated with the above request to allow an outdoor area. The
75B-6
Modification to Variance No. 2004-09
December 14, 2009
Page 5
allowance to have the rear door open could create land use
incompatibilities by allowing noise from the interior to escape and raise
the noise level on the exterior. In addition, modification of this
condition would allow Proof to effectively create an outdoor dining area
not associated with a food service establishment, which is in violation of
SAMC 33-170. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission confirm the
action of the Zoning Administrator regarding the retention of this
condition.
The sale of draft beer is prohibited. The sale or service of beer on
tap (or draught beer) is prohibited.
This condition was originally crafted based on the previous applicant's
business plan to not include beer sales but rather a "martini bar."
Amendments to these conditions are recommended for approval with a
revised condition to not allow the sale of pitchers of beer. Therefore
the revised condition will read, "The sales of beer and malt beverages
in pitchers or containers more than 16 ounces in size are prohibited."
No distilled spirits shall be sold by the bottle.
There appears to be a new trend in establishments selling alcohol to
allow customers to order and have delivered an entire bottle of premium
liquor to a table. For example, a customer would order their favorite
bottle of vodka, have it delivered to their table and would serve and
consume the alcohol at their leisure, without the assistance or
supervision of the waiter or waitress staff. There is strong concern
with this form of consumption due to the lack of monitoring by the
operator or staff. Additionally, this concern would be exacerbated if
outdoor and basement areas were allowed. The potential for unsupervised
consumption could occur potentially resulting in excessive alcohol
consumption due to the lack of waiter staff oversight. At the February
20, 2008 hearing the Zoning Administrator recommended approval of the
request with modifications to the conditions. Staff is recommending a
condition that a pouring device used to control portions must be
attached to any champagne or distilled spirits when sold by the bottle
and the submittal of an operation plan outlining the method by which the
operator will train its staff and program the operation to ensure the
conditions are followed.
75B-7
Modification to Variance No. 2004-09
December 14, 2009
Page 6
There shall be no dancing allowed on the premises.
Although a condition was placed on Variance No. 2004-09 prohibiting
dancing within this establishment, Chapter 11 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (SAMC) addresses the conditions in which dancing and alcohol sales
are allowed to occur.
The restrictions on dancing are established in Chapter 11 of the SAMC.
According to Chapter 11 there are two circumstances under which dancing
is permissible: a public dance hall allows dancing with not less than a
500 square foot dance floor but does not allow the sale of alcoholic
beverages, additionally a public dance hall is considered a regulated
use, similar to bars, where the standards for their location include a
separation from sensitive uses, as well as from other regulated uses; a
public dancing place is required to be a bona fide eating establishment
as defined by the California Business and Professions Code. Further, it
requires a dance floor of not less than 300 square feet, seating at
tables for at least 50 patrons, and no less than 20 percent of the floor
space dedicated as a kitchen facility. The intent is to create a
dinner/dance location, such as the Black Angus, where dancing is an
ancillary use. The Proof Bar does not meet either standard and
therefore cannot be issued a dance permit under the existing standards
contained in Chapter 11.
The Police Department will be contemplating an Ordinance Amendment to
change the standards to allow dancing within the C3-A zone. These
changes will directly impact bars and restaurants within the Artists
Village by allowing dancing. The dance ordinance change will allow the
Proof Bar to apply to allow patrons to dance while listening to
entertainment. With the pending ordinance amendment, staff supports a
modification of the condition should the dance ordinance amendment be
approved.
There shall be no exterior advertising of any kind or type, including
advertising directed to the exterior from within, promoting or
indicating the availability of alcoholic beverages.
The applicant has requested the ability to provide an exterior vertical
sign immediately outside on the west elevation. The applicant is
proposing to include the word "cocktail" within the sign copy. Staff
recommends approval of a modification that will allow the request as a
part of the business name advertising.
75B-8
Modification to Variance No. 2004-09
December 14, 2009
Page 7
Any amendment to this conditional use permit must be submitted to the
Planning Division and Police Department for review.
The applicant has requested the use of a basement level room, that would
be accessed via a stairway leading from the main bar area, as an
expansion of the bar. Expansion into the basement area for utilization
similar to the ground level bar is problematic; therefore, staff
recommends additional conditions of approval to mitigate any potential
negative impacts. The addition of conditions to ensure supervised
consumption of alcohol, provision of staff at all times within the
basement whenever the establishment is operating for security purposes
and the use of the basement access door only for emergency purposes will
mitigate any potential impacts. With the inclusion of these conditions,
staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to expand the
service area into the basement room.
CEQA Compliance

RESOLUTION NO. 2009-21
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA GRANTING MODIFICATIONS TO CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 2004-21 AND VARIANCE NO. 2004-09 AND GRANTING
APPEAL NO. 2009-06 FOR A TYPE 48 "PUBLIC PREMISES"
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 215 NORTH BROADWAY
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. Applicant is requesting approval of modifications to Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-
21 for a Type 48 (on-site general "public premises") Alcoholic Beverage Control
license and Variance No. 2004-09 for the property located at 215 North Broadway,
currently operated as the Proof Bar.
B. The request to modify Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-21 came before the Zoning
Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on November
4, 2009.
C. The changes requested include the hours of operation, outdoor sale and consumption
of alcohol, allowing the rear door to be kept open, sale of draft beer, sale of "hard"
alcohol by the bottle, dancing, the allowance of a cover charge and the expansion of
the bar into the basement. Following a public hearing, the Zoning Administrator
granted the application in part and denied it in part. Appeal No. 2009-06 to this
Planning Commission was thereafter filed by the applicant.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires a conditional use permit for the
sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption.
E. The applicant's appeal, together with the request to modify Conditional Use Permit
No. 2004-21 and Variance No. 2004-09, came before the Planning Commission of
the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on December 14, 2009.
F. During the pendency of its application for modifications, applicant modified or
eliminated three (3) requests. Applicant and City staff agreed to extended hours of
operation which were less than those initially requested by applicant. Applicant
formally withdrew its request for the Planning Commission to permit patron dancing
upon staff's proposed revision (which the Planning Commission approves) of
Condition No. 13 to the CUP and Variance. Finally, applicant withdrew any request
to construct fixtures in the outdoor space behind its tenant space and/or to operate
this outdoor space as a patio.
Resolution No. 2009-21
Page 1
75B-21
G. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning Commission to
grant a variance upon making certain findings of approval.
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 provisions
of this Chapter.
The proposed modifications to Variance No. 2004-09 to allow a cover
charge, serving draft beer, bottle service, advertising or signs indicating
the availability of alcohol, usage of the basement and to allow the hours of
operation from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. will continue to provide an ancillary
service and amenity to the Artists Village and thereby benefit the
community. The modifications to the variance help to continue allow the
bar within the Artists Village to provide an additional nighttime amenity to
the area. The condition modifications could create a negative impact to
the surroundings. Additional conditions have been placed on Variance
No. 2004-09 that will mitigate potential impacts created by the use and
ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
Approval of the condition modifications allows the applicants to operate a
bar within the Artists Village of the downtown. The modifications will add
to the growing Artists Village active lifestyle; support evening activities
and a variety of dining establishments. Downtown should be the place to
go to experience the full character of a community, and the bar will
contribute to a vibrant evening experience.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The approval of the variance will not be detrimental to persons residing
or working in the area because the use, as conditioned, will not create
negative or adverse impacts. The conditions imposed on the variance
will mitigate any potential impacts that might occur from the proposed
alcoholic beverage sales and entertainment. The additional business
will assist in promoting the economic viability and enhance the livability
for this area of the downtown. As conditioned, the proposed project will
be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed
on a bar selling alcoholic beverages pursuant to Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the
City.
Resolution No. 2009-21
Page 2
75B-22
The proposed modifications will not adversely affect the General Plan.
Bars and ancillary uses such as alcoholic beverage control licenses are
permitted within the Central Business-Artists Village (C3-A) zoning district
and the District Center (DC) General Plan designation. The project will
help to facilitate Goal 2.0 to "Promote land uses which enhance the City's
economic and fiscal viability." The modifications supported will help to
provide a service to complement other uses within the growing Artists
Village. Further, Goal 4.0 of the Land Use Element, protect and enhance
development sites and districts which are unique community assets that
enhance the quality of life. An establishment that adds to the nightlife of
the Artists Village promotes the unique makeup of the area with a mix of
residences and commercial businesses.
H. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning Commission to
grant a conditional use permit upon making certain findings.
1. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will contribute to the
general well being of the neighborhood or community?
The proposed modifications to conditional use permit to allow a cover
charge, serving draft beer, bottle service, advertising or signs indicating
the availability of alcohol, usage of the basement and to allow the hours
of operation from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. will continue to provide an
ancillary service and amenity to the Artists Village and thereby benefit
the community. The provision of a bar could create a negative impact
to the surroundings. Modified conditions have been placed on the
Alcoholic Beverage Control license that will mitigate potential impacts
created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the
surrounding community.
2. Will the proposed use 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 approval of the modifications, noted in subsection1 above, to the
conditional use permit will not be detrimental to persons residing or
working in the area because the use, as conditioned, will not create
negative or adverse impacts. The sale of alcoholic beverages will occur
on the premises. Moreover, conditions are imposed to mitigate
potential impacts to those in the vicinity.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability or future
economic development of properties surrounding the area?
The "public premises" is a suitable and appropriate use within the
downtown setting. The modification supported should increase the
patronage within the Artists Village, thereby enhancing the viability of
Resolution No. 2009-21
Page 3
75B-23
the business. Further, with the conditions imposed the use and site
should enhance the success of the area building on the successful
cultural and business climate of the surrounding properties in the area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in
Chapter 41 for such use?
As conditioned, the proposed project will be in compliance with all
applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a bar selling alcoholic
beverages pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code.
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of
the City?
The proposed modifications will not adversely affect the General Plan.
Bars and ancillary uses such as alcoholic beverage control licenses are
permitted within the Central Business-Artists Village (C3-A) zoning
district and the District Center (DC) General Plan designation. The
project will help to facilitate Goal 2.0 to "Promote land uses which
enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability." The modifications
supported will help to provide a service to complement other uses
within the growing Artists Village. Further, Goal 4.0 of the Land Use
Element, protect and enhance development sites and districts which
are unique community assets that enhance the quality of life. An
establishment that adds to the nightlife of the Artists Village promotes
the unique makeup of the area with a mix of residences and
commercial businesses.
I. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from further review
pursuant to Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption applies to alterations to an existing
operation or facility with negligible expansion. Categorical Exemption Environmental
Review No. 2008-39 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission, after conducting the public hearing and being fully
advised, hereby:
A. grants Appeal No. 2009-06 as to the deletion of Condition No. 24 to Conditional Use
Permit No. 2004-21 and Variance No. 2004-09, and denies the remainder of Appeal

RESOLUTION NO. 2010-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
ANA GRANTING MODIFICATIONS TO VARIANCE NO. 2004-09 FOR
A TYPE 48 "PUBLIC PREMISES" ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 215
NORTH BROADWAY
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and
declares as follows:
A. Applicant is requesting approval of modifications to Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-
21 for a Type 48 (on-site general "public premises") Alcoholic Beverage Control
license and Variance No. 2004-09 for the property located at 215 North Broadway,
currently operated as the Proof Bar.
B. The request to modify Conditional Use Permit No. 2004-21 came before the Zoning
Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on November
4, 2009.
C. The changes requested include the hours of operation, outdoor sale and consumption
of alcohol, allowing the rear door to be kept open, sale of draft beer, sale of "hard"
alcohol by the bottle, dancing, the allowance of a cover charge and the expansion of
the bar into the basement. Following a public hearing, the Zoning Administrator
granted the application in part and denied it in part. Appeal No. 2009-06 to this
Planning Commission was thereafter filed by the applicant.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires a conditional use permit for the
sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption.
E. The applicant's appeal, together with the request to modify Conditional Use Permit
No. 2004-21 and Variance No. 2004-09, came before the Planning Commission of
the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on December 14, 2009.
F. During the pendency of its application for modifications, applicant modified or
eliminated three (3) requests. Applicant and City staff agreed to extended hours of
operation which were less than those initially requested by applicant. Applicant
formally withdrew its request for the Planning Commission to permit patron dancing
upon staffs proposed revision (which the Planning Commission approves) of
Condition No. 13 to the CUP and Variance. Finally, applicant withdrew any request
to construct fixtures in the outdoor space behind its tenant space and/or to operate
this outdoor space as a patio.
Resolution No. 2010-xxx
Page 1
75B-39
G. The Planning Commission, by a 6-0 vote on December 14, 2009, approved the
applications and granted the appeal, as modified.
H. The City Council, by a 7-0 vote at its regular meeting of January 4, 2010,
subsequently ordered the applicants' request for a modification to Variance No.
2009-04 to be set for a noticed public hearing before the City Council pursuant to
Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-642.
I. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to grant a
variance upon making certain findings of approval.
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 provisions
of this Chapter.
The proposed modifications to Variance No. 2004-09 to allow a cover
charge, serving draft beer, bottle service, advertising or signs indicating
the availability of alcohol, usage of the basement and to allow the hours of
operation from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. will continue to provide an ancillary
service and amenity to the Artists Village and thereby benefit the
community. The modifications to the variance help to continue allow the
bar within the Artists Village to provide an additional nighttime amenity to
the area. The condition modifications could create a negative impact to
the surroundings. Additional conditions have been placed on Variance
No. 2004-09 that will mitigate potential impacts created by the use and
ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
Approval of the condition modifications allows the applicants to operate a
bar within the Artists Village of the downtown. The modifications will add
to the growing Artists Village active lifestyle; support evening activities
and a variety of dining establishments. Downtown should be the place to
go to experience the full character of a community, and the bar will
contribute to a vibrant evening experience.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The approval of the variance will not be detrimental to persons residing
or working in the area because the use, as conditioned, will not create
negative or adverse impacts. The conditions imposed on the variance
will mitigate any potential impacts that might occur from the proposed
alcoholic beverage sales and entertainment. The additional business
Resolution No. 2010-xxx
Page 2
75B-40
will assist in promoting the economic viability and enhance the livability
for this area of the downtown. As conditioned, the proposed project will
be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed
on a bar selling alcoholic beverages pursuant to Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the
City.
The proposed modifications will not adversely affect the General Plan.
Bars and ancillary uses such as alcoholic beverage control licenses are
permitted within the Central Business-Artists Village (C3-A) zoning district
and the District Center (DC) General Plan designation. The project will
help to facilitate Goal 2.0 to "Promote land uses which enhance the City's
economic and fiscal viability." The modifications supported will help to
provide a service to complement other uses within the growing Artists
Village. Further, Goal 4.0 of the Land Use Element, protect and enhance
development sites and districts which are unique community assets that
enhance the quality of life. An establishment that adds to the nightlife of
the Artists Village promotes the unique makeup of the area with a mix of
residences and commercial businesses.
J. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California
Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from further review
pursuant to Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption applies to alterations to an existing
operation or facility with negligible expansion. Categorical Exemption Environmental
Review No. 2008-39 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The City Council, after conducting the public hearing and being fully advised,
hereby approves in part and denies in part the request to modify Variance No. 2004-09 as
conditioned in Exhibit A hereto (which shows additions as underlined text and deletions as
strikeout text), which is incorporated herein by this reference. These decisions are based upon the
evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes but is not limited to: the Requests for
Council Action dated February 1, 2010 and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, all
of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City
Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
