WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to
as the "Planning Commission ") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No.
2013 -05713 to permit a Type 42 (On -Sale General — Public Premises) ABC license within a
portion of the ground floor commercial retail space at the Doria Lofts Mixed -use Project and an
associated determination of public convenience or necessity to permit the sale of alcoholic
beverages for on and off - premises consumption in conjunction with the proposed wine and beer
tasting lounger, pursuant to Section 18.60.190 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code ") for
that certain real property located at 280 South Lemon Street in the City of Anaheim, as generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference
(herein referred to as the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.46 -acres in size and is developed
with three residential buildings consisting of a total of 182 apartment units (commonly known as
the Doria Lofts, The Promenade and Carnegie Plaza) and 22,944 square feet of ground floor
commercial retail space. The Property is located in the C -G (General Commercial) and DMU
(Downtown Mixed Use Overlay) Zone and is designated for Mixed -Use land uses by the Land
Use Element of the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, on February 10, 2014, the Planning Commission did hold a public
hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim, notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by Resolution No. 95R -134 and in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 18.60 of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional
Use Permit No. 2013 -05713 and Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2013 - 00104, and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
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 proposed 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 proposed project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is,
therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- 1 - PC2014 -016
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 a determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity No. 2013 - 00104, does find and determine the following facts:
1. On July 11, 1995, the City Council of the City of Anaheim 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 California Business and
Professions Code, and prior to the issuance of a license by the Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control of the State of California ( "ABC ").
2. Section 23958 of the California 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. For purposes of
Section 23958, "undue concentration" means the case in which the premises are located
in an area where any of the following conditions exist:
(a) The premises are located in a crime reporting district that has a 168%
greater number of "reported crimes" (as defined in Section 23958.4) than the
average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting
districts within the City of Anaheim.
(b) As to on -sale retail license applications, the ratio of on -sale retail licenses
to population in the census tract or census division in which the premises are
located does not exceed the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the
county.
(c) As to off -sale retail license applications, the ratio of off -sale retail licenses
to population in the census tract or census division in which the premises are
located does not exceed the ratio of off -sale retail licenses to population in the
county.
3. Notwithstanding the existence of the above - referenced conditions, ABC
may issue a license if the Planning Commission determines that the "public convenience
or necessity" would be served by the issuance.
4. Resolution No. 95R -134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police
Department to make recommendations related to "public convenience or necessity"
determinations, and, when the sale of alcoholic beverages for off - premises consumption
is permitted by the Code, 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.
-2- PC2014 -016
5. The Property is located within Census Tract No. 873.00 with a population
of 10,413 that allows for (6) off -sale ABC licenses and eleven (11) on -sale licenses.
There are presently (6) off -sale licenses and (9) on -sale licenses in the census tract. The
Anaheim Police Department evaluates these requests based on the crime rates within the
police reporting district by utilizing a one - quarter mile radius for the subject site. The
subject site is in Reporting District 1624 which has a 168 percent above - average crime
rate and a crime rate of 313 percent above the average within a one - quarter mile radius.
6. A determination of Public Convenience or Necessity can be made based
on the finding that the license requested 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 complements other retail stores and restaurants within the Downtown
and would serve as an added convenience to those who choose to patronize this
establishment.
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. 2013 - 05713,
does find and determine the following facts:
1. The request to permit a Type 42 (On -Sale Beer and Wine — Public
Premises) ABC license in conjunction with a beer and wine store and tasting lounge is
properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Section
18.08.030.010 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales — On and Off Sale) of the Code.
2. The beer and wine store and tasting lounge with on and off - premises
consumption of alcoholic beverages will not adversely affect the surrounding land uses,
or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because
the proposed beer and wine store and tasting lounge is compatible with other commercial
land uses within the area.
3. The size and shape of the site for the beer and wine store and tasting
lounge with on and off - premises consumption of alcoholic beverages is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the
particular area or health and safety.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will 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 is consistent with typical
retail businesses that would be permitted as a matter of right within the C -G (General
Commercial) and DMU (Downtown Mixed Use) Overlay Zone.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05713 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.
-3- PC2014 -016
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05713 and determines that the public
convenience or necessity will be served by the issuance of a license for the sale of alcoholic
beverages for on- and off - premises consumption at the Property, subject to the conditions of
approval described 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 conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section
18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be amended by
the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established
that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition, (ii) the modification complies with
the Code, and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of
the use or approved development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05713 and
Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2013 -00104 are 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 of Permit Approval) and
18.60.200 (City - Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of Conditional Use Permit No.
2013 -05713 and Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2013 -00104 constitutes approval of the
proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Zoning Code of the City of Anaheim
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 Planning Commission does hereby find
and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's
compliance with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition,
or any part thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be
deemed null and void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find
and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's
compliance with each and all of the findings hereinabove set forth.
