The request to permit beer and wine service for on- premises consumption in conjunction with a proposed restaurant within an existing commercial center in the Commercial Area (Development Area 5) of the Northeast Area Specific Plan No. 94 -1 (SP 94 -1). is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Section 18.120.010.050.0522 (Restaurants; with On- Premises Sale and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages and /or Accessory Bar and /or Accessory Entertainment with Cover Charge; Including Drive -in, Drive - through and Walk -up Restaurants) of the Code. 2. The request to permit beer and wine service for on- premises consumption in conjunction with a proposed restaurant would not adversely affect the surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the property is currently developed with a commercial center and the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area; and 3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health, safety and general welfare of the public because the property is currently improved with a commercial center and there is no proposed expansion; and 4. The traffic generated by permitting beer and wine service for on- premises consumption in conjunction with a proposed restaurant would not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the number of vehicles entering and exiting the site are consistent with the existing commercial use site and the permitted businesses within the commercial center; and 5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the subject site is a commercial center which allows restaurant businesses and the restaurant is compatible with the surrounding area.
