RESOLUTION NO. 2011-xx
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2011-12 FOR A
TYPE 20 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL
LICENSE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1301
EAST SEVENTEENTH STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby
finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No.
2011-12 for a Type 20 Alcoholic Beverage Control license, which
allows the sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption, for the
property located at 1301 East Seventeenth Street.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-12 came before the Zoning
Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public
hearing on May 18, 2011.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires a conditional use
permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
D. The Zoning Administrator determines that the following findings,
which must be established in order to grant a Conditional Use Permit
pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638, have not
been established:
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 alcohol license will not provide a service
to the community since there are five other
establishments in the vicinity that offer beer and wine
for off-premise sales. An additional off-premise
alcoholic beverage license will not further benefit the
adjacent commercial and residential areas as there
appear to be multiple outlets which offer similar off-sale
beer and wine in the immediate vicinity. Further, the
Resolution No. 2011-XX
Page 2 of 5
City has been designated to make determinations of
public convenience or necessity in certain
circumstances and is required to prepare this letter and
provide it to the applicant who must in turn submit it to
ABC prior to issuance of the requested alcohol sales
license. This letter would have to find that there exists
a need for additional liquor sales establishments in
order to serve the public convenience and necessity.
Such findings would have to state that the area is not
already adequately served by establishments selling
alcohol. However, there currently exist five off-sale
liquor establishments within the census tract.
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 off-premise liquor license will be
detrimental to persons residing and working in the area
as the off-premise sale of alcoholic beverages has the
potential to create nuisances such as loitering,
disturbing the peace, graffiti and other crimes that
impact surrounding businesses and residential
neighborhoods. These potential negative impacts to
surrounding properties are further compounded by the
subject property’s location within 1,000 feet of two
schools and a sports field attended primarily by minors.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties
surrounding the area?
The proposed use would adversely affect the present
economic stability or future economic development of
properties surrounding the area. The denial of this
application would support Policy 4.5 of the Economic
Element of the General Plan which discourages making
land use decisions based purely on fiscal
considerations but also the qualitative implications that
are associated. This new alcohol license’s potential to
increase nuisance crimes will adversely affect the
economic stability of the surrounding properties.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and
conditions specified in Chapter 41 of the S.A.M.C. for such
use?
Resolution No. 2011-XX
Page 3 of 5
The proposed alcohol license will not be in compliance
with all applicable conditions of Chapter 41 of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code regarding off-premise general
liquor license since this location meets each of the
three criteria established for defining over
concentration. The Santa Ana Municipal Code defines
the over concentration of alcohol licenses as a site that
meets any one of the following criteria:
1. The premise is located within 1,000 feet of
another existing off-premise license location;
The subject property is within 1,000 feet of five
other off-premise alcohol licenses:
Stater Bros. 2360 North Tustin Avenue Type 21
7 Eleven 2647 North Grand Avenue Type 20
Food 4 Less 1900 North Grand Avenue Type 21
Tustin Liquor 2370 North Tustin Avenue Type 21
CVS Pharmacy 1750 North Tustin Avenue Type 21
2. The premise is located within 1,000 feet of any
property used as a school primarily attended by
minors, a church or a park;
The subject property is also within 1,000 feet of
two schools and a sports field attended primarily
by minors:
Sierra Intermediate School 2021 North Grand Avenue
Cathy’s Kids Club Pre-
School 1735 North Grand Avenue
The North East Santa Ana
Little League Adjacent
3. The premise is determined to be over
concentrated by the State Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The premise is also determined to be over
concentrated by the State Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control. Based on census
information, the State allows four off-sale outlets
within this tract; however, five active off-sale
establishments currently exist. Approval of this
application will require the City to provide a letter
Resolution No. 2011-XX
Page 4 of 5
of Public Convenience or Necessity to the State
Department of Alcohol Beverage Control
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The proposed alcohol license will adversely affect the
General Plan in several ways. The new alcohol license
will be inconsistent with Policy 2.9 of the Land Use
Element which supports developments that create a
business environment that is safe and attractive. The
alcohol license increases the potential for nuisance
crimes such as loitering, disturbing the peace, graffiti
and other crimes that impact surrounding businesses
and residential neighborhoods. The granting of this
application is also inconsistent with Policies 5.1 and 5.5
of the Land Use Element of the General Plan which
discourages projects that are not compatible with
surrounding land uses and have the potential to
negatively impact their quality of life. The projects
proximity to both residential properties as well as other
sensitive land uses identified in the over concentration
criteria further support the denial of this application.
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the
recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15270.
This Statutory Exemption states that CEQA does not apply to
projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. Statutory
Exemption Environmental Review No. 2010-148 will be filed for this
project.
Section 2. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana after
conducting the public hearing hereby denies Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-12.
This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearings,
which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Zoning Administrator Action
dated May 18, 2011, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, all of
which are incorporated herein by this reference.
ADOPTED this 18th day of May, 2011.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2011-13 FOR A
TYPE 20 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL
LICENSE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1715
NORTH BRISTOL STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby
finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No.
2011-13 for a Type 20 Alcoholic Beverage Control license, which
allows the sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption, for the
property located at 1715 North Bristol Street.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-13 came before the Zoning
Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public
hearing on May 18, 2011.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires a conditional use
permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
D. The Zoning Administrator determines that the following findings,
which must be established in order to grant a Conditional Use Permit
pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638, have not
been established:
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 project will not provide a service to the
community since the new license would create a new
off-sale establishment within 1,000 feet of two schools
primarily attended by minors. The off-premise alcoholic
beverage license has the potential to impact minors
and residents in the adjacent commercial and
residential areas. The established distance criterion
Resolution No. 2011-XX
Page 2 of 4
was intended to protect the health and safety of 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 alcoholic beverage control license would
be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare
of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The
Police Department has determined that the proposed
market is located in an area that is above average in
police-related incidents and is located within Reporting
District No.143, which ranks 61st out of 102 citywide
districts in total number of police-related incidents.
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. The
addition of an alcohol sales establishment would further
contribute to the already high crime rate in the area.
These potential negative impacts to surrounding
properties are further compounded by the subject
property’s location within 1,000 feet of two schools
attended primarily by minors.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties
surrounding the area?
The proposed use would adversely affect the present
economic stability or future economic development of
properties surrounding the area. The denial of this
application would support Policy 4.5 of the Economic
Element of the General Plan which discourages making
land use decisions based purely on fiscal
considerations but also the qualitative implications that
are associated. This new alcohol license’s potential to
increase nuisance crimes will adversely affect the
economic stability of the surrounding properties.
4. 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 not be in compliance
with all applicable conditions of Chapter 41 of the Santa
Resolution No. 2011-XX
Page 3 of 4
Ana Municipal Code regarding off-premise general
liquor license since this location meets one of the three
criteria established for defining over concentration. The
Santa Ana Municipal Code defines the over
concentration of alcohol licenses as a site that meets
any one of the following criteria:
1. The premise is located within 1,000 feet of
another existing off-premise license location;
2. The premise is located within 1,000 feet of any
property used as a school primarily attended by
minors, a church or a park;
3. The premise is determined to be over
concentrated by the State Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Although the subject property is not within 1,000 feet
other off-premise alcohol licenses, or determined to be
overconcentrated by the State, the subject property is
within 1,000 feet of two schools attended primarily by
minors at 2000 North Bristol Street and at 1530 West
Seventeenth Street.
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The proposed alcohol license will adversely affect the
General Plan in several ways. The new alcohol license
will be inconsistent with Policy 2.9 of the Land Use
Element which supports developments that create a
business environment that is safe and attractive. The
alcohol license increases the potential for nuisance
crimes such as loitering, disturbing the peace, graffiti

A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2011-09 TO ALLOW A TYPE 41
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3701 WEST MCFADDEN
AVENUE, SUITES G-J
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-
09 for a Type 41 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to allow the on-
premise consumption of beer and wine at the restaurant located at 3701
West McFadden Avenue, Suites G-J.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-09 came before the Zoning
Administrator of the City of Santa Ana on April 27, 2011, for a duly noticed
public hearing. On April 27, 2011, the Zoning Administrator of the City of
Santa Ana continued the public hearing to May 18, 2011.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires a conditional use
permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Zoning
Administrator to approve 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 alcohol beverage license will provide an
ancillary service to the restaurant customers by allowing
them the ability to purchase beer and wine 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.
Resolution No. 2011-xx
Page 2 of 7
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 license for the on-sale consumption of beer
and wine at the restaurant 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. In addition, the use will occur within the
premises and is incidental to the restaurant 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 beer and wine 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 is 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.
Resolution No. 2011-xx
Page 3 of 7
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the
recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15301. The
Class 1 exemption allows the licensing of existing facilities with no
expansion of the existing use. Categorical Exemption Environmental
Review No. 2011-32 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby approves
Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-09 as conditioned in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and
incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above
said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Zoning Administrator
Action dated April 27, 2011, and exhibits attached thereto; the Request for Zoning
Administrator Action dated May 18, 2011, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public
testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

RESOLUTION NO. 2011-xx
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2011-07 TO ALLOW A TYPE 47
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 515 NORTH MAIN STREET,
UNIT B
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-
07 for a Type 47 (on-sale general) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
license to allow the sales of beer, wine and distilled spirits for the property
located at 515 North Main Street, Unit B.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-07 came before the Zoning
Administrator of the City of Santa Ana on April 20, 2011, for a duly noticed
public hearing. On April 20, 2011, the Zoning Administrator of the City of
Santa Ana continued the matter to April 27, 2011. On April 27, 2011, the
Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana continued the public hearing
to May 4, 2011. On May 4, 2011, the Zoning Administrator of the City of
Santa Ana continued the public hearing to May 18, 2011.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires a conditional use
permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Zoning
Administrator to approve 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 alcohol beverage license will 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
Resolution No. 2011-xx

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 license 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
beverage control license that will mitigate any potential
negative or adverse impacts created by the use. In addition,
the use will occur within the premises and is incidental to the
restaurant 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 is 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?
Resolution No. 2011-xx
Page 3 of 7
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.
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the
recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15301. The
Class 1 exemption allows the licensing of existing facilities with no
expansion of the existing use. Categorical Exemption Environmental
Review No. 2010-141 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby,
approves the Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-07 as conditioned in Exhibit “A” attached
hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at
the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Zoning
Administrator Action dated April 27, 2011, and exhibits attached thereto; the Request for
Zoning Administrator Action dated May 18, 2011, and exhibits attached thereto; and the
