The ABC license will not negatively affect the surrounding community as conditions of approval have been • included to reduce potential impacts and avoid the potential for an attractive nuisance being established. By adding distilled spirits to their current offerings of beer and wine, and the other items already offered in the store, Wal-Mart can better serve the community by providing added convenience and a one-stop shopping experience. 0 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 ABC license will not be detrimental to persons residing and working in the area as the use, as conditioned, will not create any negative or adverse impacts.

Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 of the S.A.M.C. for such use? The proposed alcohol license will be in compliance with all applicable conditions of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code regarding off -premise general liquor licenses. Conditions of approval have been added to 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.
