PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING & BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 18, 2023 (CONTINUED FROM DECEMBER 5, 2022)
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION NO. 2022-00068
LOCATION: 1020 N. Euclid Street (Seafood City)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is William Go of SFC
Marketplace, Inc., the property owner is Orion 21, LP, and the agent is Steve Rawlings
of Rawlings Consulting.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a determination of public convenience
or necessity to permit the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-site consumption
(Type 21 Off-Sale General ABC License) in conjunction with a new 33,032 square foot
grocery store.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find and
determine that a Class 1 – Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code, Sections
21000-21189.57) as set forth in Sections 15301 and 15300.2 of the State CEQA
Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections 15000-15387)
is the appropriate environmental documentation for this request; and adopt the attached
resolution approving Development Application No. 2022-00068.
BACKGROUND: Seafood City is Filipino and Asian influenced supermarket that will
occupy an existing 33,032 tenant space within an existing multi-tenant shopping center
located at the southeast corner of Euclid Street and La Palma Avenue. The supermarket
is currently undergoing tenant improvements and is expected to open in early 2023. In
addition, staff is processing a separate application for future Planning Commission
review that would provide for further renovation of the subject shopping center
including a new parking layout and landscaping as well as two proposed drive-through
food establishments.
The property is in the “C-G” General Commercial Zone. The General Plan designates
the subject property for Neighborhood Center land uses. The property is surrounded by
commercial uses to the north across La Palma Avenue and to the west across Euclid
Street, and residential uses to the east and south.
This item was originally scheduled for the December 5, 2022 Planning Commission
meeting. At that meeting, the Planning Commission continued the item to this meeting
to allow time for further staff review and consultation with the applicant.
Development Application No. 2022-00068
January 18, 2023

The supermarket is a permitted use in the C-G Zone, and the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-
premises consumption is a permitted use in conjunction with the “Markets Large” (over 10,000
square feet in size) land use classification. Therefore, a conditional use permit is not required for
the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with this application.
SITE PLAN
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes the sale of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and distilled
spirits) for off-premises (off-sale) consumption in conjunction with the subject supermarket. The
State of California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) requires a Type 21 Off-Sale
General license. The supermarket would operate daily from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. As indicated
on the floor plan below, alcohol display would occur at the back of the market, and, according to
the applicants Statement of Operation (Attachment No. 3), the alcohol sales area will not exceed
10% of the market floor area.
Development Application No. 2022-00068

FLOOR PLAN
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN): State law limits the issuance of new alcohol sales
licenses when a license is requested in a police-reporting district with a crime rate above the City
average or when there is an overconcentration in the number of ABC licenses within a census tract.
A determination of public convenience or necessity is required for this application because this
property is located within a reporting district with a crime rate above the City average, and there
is an overconcentration in the number of ABC licenses within the census tract. State law also
states that such restrictions can be waived if the local jurisdiction makes a determination that the
proposed business would serve "public convenience or necessity."
The subject location is in Census Tract Number 866.02, which has a population of 5,967 persons.
This population allows for three off-sale Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses, and there are
presently seven licenses in the tract (See Attachment 4). The property is within Police Reporting
Development Application No. 2022-00068
January 18, 2023
Page 4 of 5
District 1522, which is above the City average in crime. In 2021 there were 164 crimes including
68 thefts, 25 vandalisms, and 51 drug violations.
The Police Department does not believe the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the
subject supermarket would negatively influence the type of crime occurring in this area subject to
their recommended conditions of approval. The draft resolution includes a condition from the
Police Department, requiring the applicant to submit a detailed security and operations plan to
include details such as closed-circuit television security cameras, alarms systems, lighting, any
security personnel that will be provided, and a detailed description of how the business operator
will address loitering around the market. Security measures shall be reviewed and modified
between the business operator, Police Department, and Planning Department on an as needed
basis. These measures are intended to ensure that the business would not negatively affect the
surrounding neighborhood.
The applicant’s PCN Justification (See Attachment 5) states that sale of alcohol is an essential part
of the business as consumers want to be able to make all their purchases in one location, and it is
necessary to be able to stay competitive with other grocery stores in the area. Based on staff’s
review of the application, including the applicant’s justification statement and statement of
operations, and the conditions of approval proposed for this permit, staff supports the request for
determination of Public Convenience or Necessity.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the
effects of the proposed project are Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare
additional environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities). The Class 1 exemption consists of the
repair, maintenance, and/or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities,
involving negligible or no expansion of the use beyond that existing at the time of this
determination. The request includes interior improvements to the existing grocery store and staff
does not anticipate that these would result in a significant impact on the environment. Therefore,
staff has determined that this would be a negligible expansion of the use. Pursuant to Section
15300.2 (c) and 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, there are no unusual
circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a significant
effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project would be categorically exempt from
the provisions of CEQA.
CONCLUSION: Subject to the recommended conditions of approval, staff believes that the
proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption in conjunction with the
proposed supermarket would be compatible with surrounding uses and the general vicinity, would
not be detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety of the community, and would
provide a public convenience or necessity. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission approve the determination of Public Convenience or Necessity for Seafood City
Market.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING DEVELOPMENT
APPLICATION NO. 2022-00068 AND MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2022-00068)
(1020 North Euclid Street)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as
the "Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Development Application
No. 2022-00068 for approval of a determination of public convenience or necessity to permit the
sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption (Type 21 General) in conjunction with
a 33,032 square foot grocery store in an existing multi-tenant shopping center (referred to herein
as the "Proposed Project"), at a certain real property located at 1020 North Euclid Street in the
City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.3 acres in area and is developed with a
multi-tenant commercial building. The subject tenant space is 33,032 square feet in area. The
Property is designated for Neighborhood Center land uses by the Anaheim General Plan. The
Property is in the "C-G" General Commercial Zone and is subject to the zoning and development
standards set forth in Chapter 18.08 (Commercial Zones) of the Anaheim Municipal Code
(“AMC”); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on January 18, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. and notice of said public hearing having
been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the AMC, to hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project and
to investigate and make findings and recommendation in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as
“CEQA”), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "CEQA
Guidelines"), and the City's CEQA Procedures, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation
and consideration of environmental documents for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the effects of the proposed project
are Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental
documentation per CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities). Class 1 consists
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. The Proposed Project is within an existing multi-tenant commercial building and
the request includes interior improvements to the existing grocery store with no expansion.
Pursuant to Section 15300.2 (c) and Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of
- 2 - PC2023-XXX
Regulations, there are no unusual circumstances in respect to the project which cause a significant
effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA; 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 with respect to the request for a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity
for Development Application No. 2022-00068, 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. For purposes of Section 23958.4, "undue concentration" means the
case in which the Property is located in an area where any of the following conditions exist:
(a) The Property is located in a crime reporting
district that has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the
average number of “reported crimes” (as defined in Section 23958.4), 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 Property is located exceeds the ratio of on-sale retail
licenses to population in the county in which the applicant premises are
located.
(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 Property is located exceeds 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 on-premises consumption is permitted by the Code, said
- 3 - PC2023-XXX
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 subject location is in Census Tract Number 866.02, which has a population
of 5,967 persons. This population allows for three off-sale Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses,
and there are presently seven licenses in the tract. The property is within Police Reporting District
1522, which is above the City average in crime. In 2021 there were 164 crimes including 68 thefts,
25 vandalisms, and 51 drug violations. Since the there is an overconcentration in the number of
off-sale ABC licenses within the census tract and the crime rate is above the citywide average, a
determination of "public convenience or necessity" is required.
6. The request to permit alcoholic beverage sales for off-premises consumption in
conjunction with a supermarket subject to the conditions of approval imposed will not be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of Anaheim would not adversely affect the
surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed and will
provide an added convenience to the immediate neighborhood consistent with other similar
supermarkets in the City. Conditions imposed on the Proposed Project will ensure that potential
nuisances associated with the proposed use will be minimized, and the use would be compatible
to surrounding land uses.
7. The determination of "Public Convenience or Necessity" can be made based
on the finding that the license requested is consistent with the Planning Commission guidelines for
such determinations and further that the granting of the determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity, under the conditions imposed, for off premises consumption there will not be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission determines that the evidence in the record
constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this
Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the
record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report
and all materials in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts, that
negate the findings made in this Resolution. This Planning Commission expressly declares that it
considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all
evidence presented to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, pursuant to the above findings, this
Planning Commission does hereby approve Development Application No. 2022-00068, contingent
upon and subject to 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 that portion of the Property for which Development Application No. 2022-00068
is applicable 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)
- 4 - PC2023-XXX
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 any amendment, modification or revocation 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 Code.
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 approval of this application constitutes approval
of the Proposed Project only to the extent that it complies with the 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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting
of January 18, 2023. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced
by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

About Seafood City:
Established over 20 years ago with the opening of its first store in San Diego in Southern
California, Seafood City is recognized as the "home away from home" for
Filipino/Asians in the United States.
At the heart of the Marketplace is Seafood City Supermarket, the premier full-service
supermarket chain of its type in the United States.
Seafood City essentially has a mix of Asian and Filipino-influenced offerings with
practical products to serve a diverse population. The supermarket features fresh seafood
and meat departments, a wide selection of fresh produce, bakery, health and beauty, as
well as quick grab-and-go options. It carries a wide selection of Filipino and Asian
grocery items, as well as American products that one would normally find in any
supermarket.
Seafood City locations are in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, Washington, and
Canada. There are a total of 21 Seafood City stores in California.

Justification for Public Convenience or Necessity
Seafood City
1020 N Euclid St
June 9, 2022
1.What is the primary purpose of your business? Is the sale of alcohol an essential part of the
primary purpose of the business?
Seafood City will be operating a 33,032 sq ft grocery store in the space previously occupied by
Ralphs which sold alcohol for 17 years. The sale of alcohol is an essential part of the business as
consumers want to be able to make all their purchases in one location, and it is necessary to be
able to stay competitive with other grocery stores.
2.Are there similar businesses or a concentration of alcohol outlets in the immediate area that
already provide alcohol service? If so, how would the public convenience or necessity be
served by permitting an additional license within the census tract?
There are currently 4 liquor/convenience stores and 3 grocery stores within the Census Tract
that sell alcohol. Seafood City offers a unique product selection in comparison with these other
grocery stores, as they are a Filipino supermarket.
3.Is there a residential neighborhood or school adjacent to the property for which you are
requesting a public convenience or necessity determination? If so, please explain how
permitting an additional license would not disproportionately impact an adjacent residential
neighborhood or school.
There is a residential neighborhood adjacent to the shopping center that the store is located.
Seafood City has both operational and physical security measures in place that ameliorate public
safety concerns such as employee training as well as surveillance cameras.
4.What percentage of your business do you anticipate will be alcohol sales?
1.5%
5.Does your business cater to a specific need or specialty which is not currently available in the
area?
Seafood City offers a unique selection of products because they are a Filipino supermarket.
Other grocery stores within the Census Tract that sell alcohol do not provide these specialty
products, and therefore Seafood City fulfills a need that is not currently met in the area.
6.Are you proposing any specific operational measures to eliminate or limit any potential
negative consequences from the sale of alcoholic beverages?
Surveillance cameras are located throughout the store. Employees also go through training for
alcohol sales to ensure strict compliance to CA Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control laws.
ATTACHMENT NO. 5
7. What type of license are you requesting from ABC? Is it an existing license? Where is the
license being purchased from?
Type 21 License, being purchased from the Vons that was operating at 9852 Chapman Ave,
Garden Grove.
