RES-2010-100RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -100 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2010- 00064 (DEV2010- 00006). WHEREAS, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (hereinafter the "Department ") is charged with the responsibility of reviewing applications and issuance of licenses (hereinafter "license or licenses ") for the sale and/or manufacture of alcoholic beverages in the State of California; and WHEREAS, Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that the Department 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 as provided in Section 23958.4 of said Business and Professions Code; and WHEREAS, Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code provides that, notwithstanding the limitations of Section 23958, the Department shall issue a license if the applicant shows that "public convenience or necessity" would be served by the issuance of such license; and WHEREAS, said Section 23958.4 further provides that the determination of "public convenience or necessity" shall be made by the Department with regard to certain applications, and shall be made by the local governing body of the area in which the applicant premises are located with regard to certain other applications; and WHEREAS, as a local governing body within the meaning of said Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code, the Anaheim City Council (hereinafter the "City Council ") has heretofore adopted its Resolution No. 95R -134 delegating determinations regarding "public convenience or necessity" which determinations are otherwise within the authority of the City Council to the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter the 'Planning Commission "), and establishing procedures for the processing of such determinations, including the appeal of such determinations to the City Council, and providing for certain other procedural matters concerning the review and issuance of such licenses by the Department; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive an application for a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to permit a Type 21 (Off -Sale General) ABC license to allow the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for off - premises consumption in conjunction with the expansion of a previously- approved convenience market on that certain real property located at 1151 N. Euclid Street in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as more particularly shown in Exhibit "A ", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (hereinafter the "application "); and -1- WHEREAS, Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2010 -00064 is proposed in conjunction with a request to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 2008 -05395 (designated as "Conditional Use Permit No. 2008- 05395A ") to permit the expansion of a previously- approved convenience market into an adjacent unit with the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for off - premises consumption (hereinafter the "Project Actions "); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Project Actions, and did receive and consider evidence and testimony for and against said project, and, on April 12, 2010, following said public hearing adopted its Resolution No. PC2010 -023 granting Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2010 - 00064; and WHEREAS, within the time prescribed by law, the applicant did appeal said Planning Commission decision to the City Council, asking the City Council to reconsider the Planning Commission's approval of Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2010 - 00064; and WHEREAS, the City Council did set said application for such project for a de novo hearing, which public hearing was duly noticed in the manner provided by law; and WHEREAS, at the time and place fixed for said public hearing, the City Council did hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider said application and did receive and consider evidence and testimony for and against the Project Actions; and WHEREAS, the City Council does find, after careful consideration of all evidence and reports submitted to the Planning Commission and the action taken by said Commission, and all evidence and reports offered at said public hearing before the City Council, that the public convenience or necessity would be served by the proposed sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for off - premises consumption in conjunction with a proposed convenience market, as requested in the application, for the following reasons: 1. That California state law requires a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity when property is located in a reporting district that has a crime rate above the average; 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 except when an applicant has demonstrated that public convenience or necessity would be served by issuance of a license. 2. That Resolution No. 95R -134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police Department to make recommendations related to the public convenience or necessity determinations; and when the sale of alcoholic beverages for off - premises consumption is permitted by the Municipal 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- 3. That subject property is located within Census Tract 867.1 with a population that allows for five off sale ABC licenses and there are presently four licenses in the tract; and, ten on -sale licenses and there are presently three in the tract. The Anaheim Police Department evaluates these requests based on the crime rates within the police reporting district by utilizing a 1/4 mile radius for the subject site. This site has a 1/4 mile radius crime rate of 363% percent above the average. However, although this is a high crime area, most of the reported incidents are attributed to the high density residential neighborhood to the west. In comparison, there is a below average crime rate along this commercial corridor. 4. That the proposal, as conditioned, will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is located because the sale of alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the overall product mix provided by the neighborhood - oriented convenience market. Moreover, the Police Department indicates no specific concerns related to off - premises alcoholic beverage sales and operation of this business, subject to compliance with conditions of approval. 5. That the traffic generated by the continued use of the property as a convenience market 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 granting of 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 market and would serve as an added convenience to those who choose to shop at this establishment. The Police Department indicates no specific concerns related to off - premises alcoholic beverage sales and operation of this business, subject to the conditions of approval. WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the Project Actions and does find and determine that the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15301, 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 City Council, for the reasons hereinabove stated, does determine that the public convenience or necessity would be served by the approval of said license, which is hereby approved, 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 subject property in order to preserve the 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 Anaheim Municipal Code.
