Request of Applicant
Mike Miller, representing Santa Ana River Brewing Company (SARBC), is requesting approval of a
conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the operation of a small alcoholic beverage manufacturing
facility (microbrewery) with an ancillary tasting room located at 3480 West Warner Avenue, Unit B.
Establishments that sell alcoholic beverages require approval of a CUP pursuant to Section 41-196
of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC).
Protect Location and Site Description
The applicant proposes to operate a microbrewery on a 292,930 -square -foot (6.7 -acre) industrial
lot. The proposed use will be within an existing 44,000 -square -foot building, of which 2,016 square
feet will be occupied by the proposed microbrewery. The site is located on the south side of
Warner Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Susan Street. The site is developed with three
structures totaling approximately 113,000 square feet and provides a total of 458 parking stalls to
its patrons.
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND) and the zoning designation is
Light Industrial (M1). The proposed use of the property as primarily a manufacturing facility is
consistent with the intent of the City's General Plan and Zoning as these designations are intended
for manufacturing and production uses. The site is surrounded by industrial uses to the north,
south, west and east (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).

Prolect Description
Santa Ana River Brewing Company is requesting approval of a CUP to allow the operation of a
microbrewery with an ancillary tasting room and limited direct sales of bottles to consumers. The
business will occupy an existing 2,016 -square -foot industrial tenant space, which is located at the
rear building of the lot and approximately 460 feet from Warner Avenue. Proposed tenant
improvements to the space by the applicant include the installation of brewing equipment, a
warehouse area, walk in cooler, and a tasting area that will seat a maximum of 10 individuals and
will occupy less than 20 percent or 360 square feet of the gross floor area; the remaining area will
be utilized for the production and storage of alcoholic beverages. In addition, the tenant space has
been designed to comply with the State's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
regulations and standards for microbreweries (Exhibits 4 and S).
The proposed hours of operation open to the public for beer tasting will be Monday through Friday
from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Beer
production will vary based on demand but three brew days a week are expected and brewing hours
of operation will be from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The microbrewing Industry has grown significantly during recent years in California, to particular in
the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. This new trend is primarily devoted to a
change in consumer behavior to provide unique blends of brews and a change from conventional
brews. In the last few years, the City itself has experienced this cultural change and has approved
four rnicrobreweries.

SARBC submitted an application for a CUP to the Planning Division in September wishing to join
this list of breweries in the City. SARBC is a relatively new craft beer brewer in Orange County.
The company currently does not have a commercial established location for brewing but has been
home brewing for a couple of years and has over seven years of experience in the brewing industry.
The company is seeking to open its first microbrewery establishment in Santa Ana. The company
31 C-4
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-34

Page 3
specializes mainly in the production of craft hop -forward ales and currently has five line-up beers.
SARBC plans to produce 1,000 barrels per year and anticipates producing 7,500 barrels by 2020.
ABC restricts the number of barrels microbreweries can produce a year, which is a limit of 20,000
barrels a year.
Project Analysis
Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC and may be granted
when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community; If these
findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make
these findings would result in a denial. Staff has prepared the following analysis, which in turn forms
the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing this CUP request, staff
believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the CUP.
The Santa Ana River Brewing Company Is requesting approval of a CUP to allow the operation of a
microbrewery with a tasting room. The use of the property as a manufacturing facility is permitted
by right; however, the proposed tasting room and sales of beer are governed by Section 41-196 of
SAMC, thus requiring this CUP. The tasting and sale of beer to consumers are intended to provide
a service that is ancillary to the primary manufacturing use. This use will benefit the community by
providing a unique manufacturing use with a complementary tasting area that will be open to the
public to enjoy.
The granting of the CUP will allow the microbrewery to compete with other microbreweries in Santa
Ana and Orange County that may also offer similar services to the public and thus allowing SARBC,
a local -small business, to thrive and remain economically viable. The proposed use will contribute
to the evolving and growing microbrewery trend in Santa Ana and will provide consumers with
unique craft beer options. In addition, tastings and sales to consumers will take place inside and
within an industrial park with required parking. Furthermore, the subject property is not located near
any sensitive uses such as schools and places of worship and the closest residential neighborhood
is approximately 2,000 feet to the west. The proposed license will not adversely affect the General
Plan. The granting of this CUP supports several policies contained in the General Plan. These
include policies supporting: the provision of a diverse range of goods and services, creating a
safe and attractive business environment, and encouraging development that Is compatible with
nearby land uses. Finally, the proposed conditions of approval will assist in mitigating any potential
impacts from this proposed establishment.
Police Department Ana ysis
As part of the review process for all CUPS, the Police Department reviewed SARBC application in
order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with alcohol
consumption and alcohol sales are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The Police
31 C-5
Conditional Use Permit No. 201634
November 28, 2016
Page 4
Department analyzed the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained In
the Business and Professions Code Section 23948,4(c)(2), which are also utilized by the State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). This section defines 'reported crimes" as
criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor
vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except
traffic citations.
The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as
compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used
by the State's ABC and Business and 'Professions Cade, should the Police Department
determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the
average number fecund in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this
information in making its recommendation.
This business address is located in Reporting District No, 89. The number of reported crimes in
District 89 is not 20 percent higher than the average number of reported crimes in all reporting
districts. In addition, the Police Department contends that the proposed conditions of approval
will mitigate any potential negative impacts to the surrounding community. As a result, the Police
Department is supportive of the applicant's request.
Public Notjfication
The project site is not located within the boundary of an established neighborhood association. A
notice advertising this public hearing was pasted on the project site, published in the Orange
County Reporter, and notices were mailed to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet
of the project site. At the time of this print, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had
been received from any member of the public.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended action is
exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3). This exemption applies to projects where it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment. The project proposes to allow limited tastings and limited direct sales to
consumers within an existing structure. No expansions of square footage or physical land
disturbance are proposed as part of this project. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review
No, 100 will be filled for this project.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 2016-34, AS CONDITIONED, TO
ALLOW A LIMITED TASTING AREA AND LIMITED DIRECT
SALES TO CUSTOMERS OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
AT AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING
FACILITY LOCATED AT 3480 WEST WARNER AVENUE,
UNIT B
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. Santa Ana River Brewing Company ("Applicant') is requesting approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-34 to allow a limited tasting area and
limited direct sales to customers of alcoholic beverages at an alcoholic
beverage manufacturing facility located at 3480 West Warner Avenue, Unit
B.
B. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-196 requires approval of a
conditional use permit for establishments wishing to sell alcohol for on- or
off -premise consumption.
C. On November 28, 2016, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-34.
D. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the
following findings, which must be established in order to grant this
Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC)
Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No.
2016-34 to allow the operation of a microbrewery with a tasting area and
direct customer sales:
1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or
community.
The proposed limited tasting area and limited direct sales of
beer to customers will provide an ancillary service to the
manufacturing facility. This will thereby benefit the community
by providing a unique manufacturing operation with an
additional and complementary public service. Standards and
Resolution No. 2016-43
Page 1 of 6
31 C-13
conditions are applicable to 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. 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.
The proposed microbrewery will not be detrimental to
persons residing or working in the vicinity because
conditions of approval to the alcoholic beverage control
license will mitigate any potential negative or adverse
impacts created by the use. This is primarily a
manufacturing use and the addition of alcohol sales and
tastings to the public will be ancillary to the main use. In
addition, the use will occur within the premises, mitigating
any potential impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.
Finally, the sale of alcohol at the facility is intended to be
incidental to the primary use as a manufacturing operation.
3. That the proposed use will not 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 manufacturing
facility to compete with other nearby microbreweries in
Orange County that also offer tastings and limited sales to
their guests and other visitors. Moreover, the offering of
alcoholic beverages will allow the operator to remain
economically viable and contributes to the overall success of
the Santa Ana, helping to decrease the number of vacant
spaces that may affect the economic viability of the area.
4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and
conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use.
The proposed microbrewery will be in compliance with all
applicable regulations and conditions imposed on a
manufacturing facility selling alcohol pursuant to Chapter 41
of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The facility will be
maintained as a manufacturing operation, allowed by right by
the SAMC, having all necessary equipment to operate
primarily as a beer manufacturer with ancillary alcohol service
that is open to the public.
Resolution No. 2016-43
Page 2 of 6
31C-14
5. 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.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan.
The granting of this conditional use permit supports several
policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the
Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate
the City's needs for goods and services. Providing a variety
of unique manufacturing facilities, including a microbrewery,
meets the City's needs for goods and services for residents
and visitors. Policy 2.8 of the Land Use Element promotes
the rehabilitation of commercial properties, and encourages
increased levels of capital investment. The operator's
tenancy contributes to the maintenance and viability of the
repurposed industrial building in which it is located. Further,
Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments
that create a business environment that is safe and
attractive. Conditions of approval for the proposed
microbrewery will ensure a safe and attractive environment
in the neighborhood. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use
Element encourages development that is compatible with
and supporting of surrounding land uses. The facility will be
located in an industrial area and its operations will be
compatible with the surrounding industrial businesses and
will minimize impacts to surrounding properties in the
vicinity.
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the
recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3). This
exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that there
is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on
the environment. The project proposes to allow limited tastings and limited
direct sales to consumers within an existing structure. No expansions of
square footage or physical land disturbance are proposed as part of this
project. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2016-100 will be
filled for this project.
Section 2. The applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
