APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2012 -05616 AND DETERMINING
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2012 -00089
FOR A TYPE 23 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE
(DEV2012- 00067)
(2910 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE, UNIT D)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as the
"Planning Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-
05616, pursuant to Section 18.60.190 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, and a Determination of
Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2012 - 00089, to permit a brewery and tasting room located
at 4910 East La Palma Avenue, Unit D in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently developed with a six- building industrial park; the
zoning is Northeast Area Specific Plan, Development Area 1 (SP94 -1, DAI); and the Anaheim
General Plan designates the Property for Industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on August 13, 2012 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 Chapter 18.60 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional
Use Permit No. 2012 -05616 and Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2012- 00089, and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Planning 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 pertaining to the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 - 05616, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The request to permit a brewery and tasting room is properly one for which a
conditional use permit is authorized under Section 18.66.040.020.0202 (Unlisted Uses) of the
Anaheim Municipal Code.
2. The request to allow the proposed brewery and tasting room would not adversely
affect the surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area because the use
would be compatible with the surrounding industrial uses.
3. The size and shape of the property is adequate to allow the full operation of the
existing and proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health,
safety and general welfare of the public because sufficient parking will be provided to
accommodate the brewery and tasting room.
- 1 - PC2012 -051
4. The traffic generated by the business would not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the site is
designed to provide multiple points of access to the subject business.
5. Granting Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -05616 under the conditions imposed
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and will
provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
WHEREAS, the Planning 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 pertaining to the request for Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2012- 00089, does
find and determine the following facts:
1. On July 11, 1995, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95R -134 establishing
procedures and delegating certain responsibilities to the Planning Commission relating to the
determination of "public convenience or necessity" on those certain applications requiring that
such determination be made by the local governing body pursuant to applicable provisions of the
Business and Professions Code, and prior to the issuance of a license by the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
2. 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 the issuance of a license.
3. 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.
4. 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 and consumption of alcoholic beverages does not
adversely affect any adjoining land use or the growth and development of the surrounding area.
5. The property is located within Census Tract 117.14 with a population that allows
for one off -sale ABC license and there are presently two licenses in the tract. In addition, one
on -sale license is allowed and nine presently exist in the tract. The Anaheim Police Department
evaluates these requests based on the crime rate within a one - quarter mile radius for the subject
site. The proposed location is located in Police Reporting District No. 1431 which has a crime
rate that is below the citywide average and the crime rate within 1 /4 mile of this property is also
below the citywide average based upon calls for service. Since there is an overconcentration in
-2- PC2012 -051
the number of ABC licenses within this census tract a determination of public convenience or
necessity is required for this request.
6. A 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 beer for off - premises consumption is ancillary to the proposed
brewery and would serve as an added convenience to residents and visitors to the area who
choose to patronize this establishment.
WHEREAS, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA "), the Planning Commission
finds and determines that the Project is within that class of projects which consist of the repair,
maintenance, and/or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities,
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of this
determination, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is,
therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use
Permit No. 2012 -05616 and Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2012- 00089, including,
specifically, the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed
use of the Property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of
the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete the conditions of approval set forth
in Exhibit B hereto may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -05616 and Public
Convenience or Necessity No. 2012 -00089 is approved without limitations on the duration of the
use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance
with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City - Initiated
Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -05616
and Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2012 -00089 constitutes approval of the proposed
request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal Zoning Code and any
other applicable City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or
findings as to compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance,
regulation or requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all charges
related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the issuance of
the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in the revocation of the approval of this
application.
