Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC); and
WHEREAS, Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that
the ABC shall deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a
law enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of
licenses, except when an applicant has demonstrated that public convenience or necessity would

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim did receive an
application for a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to permit retail sales of
alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption in conjunction with a convenience store for certain
real property situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, shown on
Exhibit "A ", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on October 24, 2011, at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing
having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed
determination of public convenience or necessity for an alcoholic beverage control license and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
hearing, does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the C -G (General Commercial) zone permits the sales of alcoholic beverages
for off -site consumption in conjunction with a convenience store. pursuant to Sections 18.08.030
(Primary Uses, Commercial Zones), and 18.38.110 (Convenience Stores) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code. The proposed sales of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption will not
adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is
proposed to be located because it is accessory to a convenience store and is located in a
commercial corridor on Anaheim Boulevard.
- 1 - PC2011 -078
2. That California state law requires a Determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity when property is located in a census tract with more off -sale alcohol licenses than
allowed; and that Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that the ABC
shall deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law
enforcement problem or if issuance would result in, or add to, an undue concentration of
licenses, except when an applicant has demonstrated that public convenience or necessity would
be served by issuance of a license.
3. That Resolution No. 95R -134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police Department
to make recommendations related to the public convenience or necessity determinations; and
said recommendations shall take the form of conditions of approval to be imposed on the
determination in order to ensure that the sale of alcoholic beverages does not adversely affect
any adjoining land use or the growth and development of the surrounding area.
4. That subject property is located within Census Tract 874.03 with a population that
allows for three off -sale ABC licenses and there are presently three licenses in the tract; and four
on -sale licenses and there are presently two in the tract. The Anaheim Police Department
evaluates these requests based on the crime rates within a one - quarter mile radius for the subject
site. The police reporting district in which this business located has an above - average crime rate
of 257% percent above the average. However, the Police Department does not oppose this use,
subject to the business continually adhering to the recommended conditions of approval.
5. That the traffic generated by the convenience store with off - premises alcoholic
beverage sales will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and
improved to carry the traffic in the area.
6. That the Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity can be made based on
the finding that the license requested is consistent with the Planning Commission guideline for
such determinations and further that granting the Determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim as the sale of alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the proposed
store and would serve as an added convenience to residents and visitors to the area who choose
to shop at this establishment. The Police Department indicates no specific concerns related to
off-premises alcoholic beverages sales and operation of this business, subject to the conditions of
approval.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Section 15303, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA
Guidelines, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental
documentation.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning
Commission does hereby determine that the public convenience or necessity will be served by
the issuance of a license for the sale of alcoholic beverages for off - premises consumption at this
location subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit `B" attached hereto and
incorporated by this reference which are found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use
