B. On November 24, 2008, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-35 as conditioned. • C.

Allow dancing within the restaurant. The applicant is requesting a minimum of 300 square feet of dance area. E. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 and 41-638 authorizes the Planning Commission to modify 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 the community? • The proposed amendment to the conditional use permit for after hours operation will continue to provide an ancillary service to the restaurant and thereby benefit the community by providing an additional amenity at the eating establishment. Conditions have been placed on the after hours conditional use permit which will mitigate any potential Resolution No. 2010-14 Page 1 of 9 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 proposed amendment to allow dancing at the location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area because the use, as conditioned, will not create any negative or adverse impacts. Dancing will occur within the premises and is incidental to the restaurant use. The extended hours will continue to be in conjunction with the existing sit-down eating establishment. Conditions to minimize potential noise impacts to the surrounding residential and commercial uses are in place or recommended. 3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area? The project site is located within the City Place development and is suitable for the proposed use. The provision of dancing at the Geisha House restaurant will increase the • patronage to the restaurant and number of visitors to the development, thereby enhancing the profitability of the business and economic stability of the area. The project site is located in a commercial area near the Westfield Mall and helps to further emphasize North Main Street as a commercial district. 4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use? As conditioned, the allowance of dancing will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a restaurant operating after hours pursuant to Specific Development No. 59 and Chapters 11 and 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 use will not adversely affect the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services.
