As Recommended ? As Amended ? Set Public Hearing For DENIED ? Applicant's Request ? Staff Recommendation CONTINUED TO Executive Director Planning Mana r RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving modifications to Conditional Use Permit No. 1996-30 allowing expansion into the basement level and entertainment seven days a week between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. as conditioned. Request of Applicant Jason Kordas, the applicant for the Velvet Lounge, is requesting approval of two modifications to the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 1996-30, which allowed for a Type 47 ABC license. Specifically, the applicant is requesting to allow for entertainment to be offered seven days per week instead of being limited to Friday and Saturday as currently conditioned, and to allow for the entertainment hours to extend until 2:00 a.m. instead of 10:00 p.m. as currently conditioned. The applicant is also requesting to expand the restaurant operations into a basement area of the restaurant that was originally planned as a wine cellar/dining area. Project Location and Site Description The Velvet Lounge will occupy the space of the former Jason's restaurant on the first floor of an existing two-story, multi-tenant building located on the south side of West Fourth Street, between Birch and Ross Streets. The site contains an 8,356 square foot building that was constructed in approximately 1922. The first floor consists of an existing restaurant space, second floor with professional offices and storage within the basement level. In addition, the applicant will be utilizing an existing 830 square foot outdoor patio located along the front entrance facing Fourth Street. The site has no on-site parking, but utilizes the public parking garage at Third and Birch Streets. The site is surrounded by commercial and office uses to the east and west; the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse to the north; and a parking structure, surface parking lot and Birch Park to the south (Exhibits 1 and 2). 2 31A-3 Modification to CUP No. 96-30 May 23, 2011 Page 2 Protect Description The Velvet Lounge is an independently operated restaurant and lounge that offers dining and entertainment to its patrons. The operation will offer dining until approximately 9:00 p.m. and then shift to a club/entertainment venue with a more limited menu, as well as entertainment and dancing. Entertainment will include DJ, karaoke, live band, cabaret theatrical performances and vocal impersonator reviews. Dancing anticipated will include public dancing along with employed dancers located throughout the establishment. Any dancing component of the business would be required to comply with Chapter 11 - Dancing of the SAMC. The requested modifications to the existing CUP would allow the applicant to offer entertainment seven days per week, instead of the permitted two (Friday and Saturday), extend the hours of entertainment until 2:00 a.m. to coincide with their hours of operation and expand the restaurant into a basement area of the restaurant. The storage area for the alcoholic beverages will be located on the first floor. A total of 67 square feet will be utilized for alcohol storage as dry, cold and display areas. The overall storage of alcoholic beverage consists of approximately 1.1 percent of the floor area and is less than five percent of the gross floor area of the restaurant as required by the City's policies for gross floor area dedicated to alcohol storage (Exhibit 3). Proiect Backaround The building located at 416 East Fourth Street began its life as the home of an Army Supply Store in 1922. Over the years it housed the West Fourth Street Furniture Exchange, the Cotton King & Queen Variety Goods Store, a custom framing store, auction house, and second-hand store before it was almost completely reconstructed in the early 1980's and the lower floor was improved as a restaurant. Since that time it has housed a number of eating establishments, as well as a variety of office tenants on the upper floors. In 1996, the Boardwalk Restaurant was granted a conditional use permit (CUP No. 1996-30) allowing alcohol service within an existing eating establishment. In 2005, the Boardwalk Restaurant was granted an amendment to the conditional use permit changing some conditions of approval allowing for operations until 2:00 am on Fridays and Saturdays; dancing; up to six musicians with amplified instruments; and a wine cellar within the basement. The limitation in hours was approved at the request of the applicant due to the fact that their business model did not include a large entertainment component. Conditions were imposed to ensure that the eating establishment 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. 31A-4 Modification to CUP No. 96-30 May 23, 2011 Page 3 These conditions have been applied to all eating establishments requesting alcohol sales. More specifically, all of the establishments within the downtown area have received similar conditions allowing alcohol sales, entertainment, and late night hours of operation. Similar establishments include Bistro 400, Memphis, Gypsy Den, Lola Gaspar, Chapter One, and The Crosby. Some, like Conditional Use Permit No. 1996-30, have conditions limiting their operation merely due to the request submitted with that particular application (Exhibit 4). In 2006 Jason Kordas assumed the lease of the restaurant space and opened Jason's, a full-service restaurant and catering business. In recent years Mr. Kordas has focused more on the catering side of his business using the existing kitchen and dining space, and the public aspect of the restaurant was closed. Mr. Kordas will continue to oversee and run the dining portion of the Velvet Lounge operation. General Plan and Zonina Consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is District Center (DC). District Center districts provide highly visible and accessible commercial development within the City's major development areas such as the downtown area and along the City's arterial transportation corridors. These districts also provide important neighborhood facilities and services, such as this restaurant. The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. The zoning for the site is Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84/Transit Zoning Code). The project is further located within the Downtown district. The Downtown district allows for retail and service uses such as restaurants, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning code. Project Analvsis Conditional Use Permit requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. Conditional Use Permit requests may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established: • That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. • 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. • That the proposed use adversely will not affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. • That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. 31A-5 Modification to CUP No. 96-30 May 23, 2011 Page 4 • 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. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit amendments. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the conditional use permit amendment request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit. The proposed alcohol beverage license will continue to provide an ancillary service to the restaurant customers by allowing them the ability to purchase beer, wine and distilled spirits with their food. This will thereby benefit the community by providing a restaurant with an additional and complementary food-related amenity. Conditions have been placed on the alcoholic beverage control license which will mitigate any potential impacts created by the use and ensure that the use will not negatively affect the surrounding community. • The proposed amendments to the on-sale consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because conditions have been placed on the alcoholic beverage control license that will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. • The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area, but will instead allow the restaurant to compete with other restaurants in the area that also offer alcoholic beverages for sale to their guests and other visitors. It is anticipated that the addition of a restaurant to the downtown area with evening entertainment will provide an additional dining and entertainment option for patrons. As conditioned, the proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a restaurant selling alcohol pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and the guidelines established by the Planning Commission for restaurants selling alcohol with their meal. The facility continues to contain the kitchen equipment necessary to be considered a bona fide restaurant use and maintain a restaurant related alcoholic beverage control license. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize less than five percent of the gross floor area for the storage of alcoholic beverages, which is below the maximum threshold established by the Planning Commission. • 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. A restaurant with an ancillary alcohol license provides a dining service to the residents of Santa Ana. 31A-6 Modification to CUP No. 96-30 May 23, 2011 Page 5 Police Deaartment Analvsis The Police Department reviews conditional use permit applications for the sale of alcoholic beverages because there is a strong correlation between the availability of alcohol and crime. Studies have shown that alcohol is a contributing factor in crimes, such as drunk driving, fatal traffic collisions, homicide, assaults, rape, domestic violence, drunk in public and other nuisance type of offenses. Without stringent controls to address the location of alcohol outlets, there is a strong likelihood that an overconcentration will create blight and adversely impact the community. The approval of a license in an area deemed over concentrated and high in crime may affect the quality of life and police resources in the area, and aggravate existing conditions. Since the City's overconcentration standards do not apply to on-sale establishments, the Police Department considered two factors when reviewing this application, crime rate and sensitive land uses. The Police Department has determined that this establishment is located in an area that is above average in police-related incidents. This site is located within Reporting District No. 165, which ranks 5th out of 102 citywide districts in total number of police-related incidents. In terms of land uses, there is a public park and senior residential tower located within 500 feet of this proposed use. Loud music or noise may impact those residents. Based on the above average crime rate, the Police Department recommends approval of the CUP amendment provided that conditions are imposed to ensure that this location operates as a bona fide eating establishment and does not aggravate existing conditions or negatively impact adjacent land uses. Public Notification The project site is located within the boundaries of the Downtown Association. The president of the Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, separate meetings with Tish Leon, neighborhood representative for the residential project immediately south of the project site, as well as Latino Health Access, who recently took ownership of the building immediately to the west of the subject property, were held to ensure that they were noted of the project and to see if there were any areas of concern. No areas of concern were identified by the Neighborhood Association representative, nor was there a request that the applicant present the project to a meeting of their members. Latino Health Access was concerned with adequate security due to some of the evenings programs conducted. The project site itself was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. 31A-7 Modification to CUP No. 96-30 May 23, 2011 Page 6 CEGA Compliance 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. 2011-44 will be filed for this project. Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the modifications to Conditional Use Permit No. 1996-30 as conditioned.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Applicant is requesting approval of modification to Conditional Use Permit No. 1996-30 to allow expansion into the basement level and entertainment seven days a week between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. as conditioned, for the Velvet Lounge located at 416 West Fourth Street. B. In 1996, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana approved Conditional Use Permit No. 1996-30 as conditioned allowing alcohol service within an existing eating establishment. C. 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 conditional use permit modifications will continue to provide an ancillary service to the restaurant customers by allowing them the ability to purchase beer, wine and distilled spirits with their food. This will thereby benefit the community by continuing to provide a restaurant with an additional and complementary food-related amenity. Conditions have been placed on the alcoholic beverage control license which will mitigate any 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 proposed amendments to the existing conditional use permit for the on-sale consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at the restaurant will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because conditions have been placed on the alcoholic Resolution No. 2011-10 Page 1 of 9 31 A-17 beverage control license that will mitigate any potential negative or adverse impacts created by the use. 3. Will the proposed use 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 restaurant to compete with other restaurants in the area that also offer alcoholic beverages for sale to their patrons. 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 restaurant selling alcohol pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and the guidelines established by the Planning Commission for restaurants selling alcohol with their meal. The facility has the kitchen equipment necessary to be considered a bona fide restaurant use and continues to be eligible to obtain a restaurant related alcoholic beverage control license. Additionally, the restaurant will utilize less than five percent of the gross floor area for the storage of alcoholic beverages, which is below the maximum threshold established by the Planning Commission. 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. A restaurant with an ancillary alcohol license provides a dining service to the residents of Santa Ana. D. 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. 2011-44 will be filed for this project.
