A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINING THAT A CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
IS THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
AND APPROVING PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2011-00078
FOR A TYPE 21, OFF -SALE OF ALCHOLIC BEVERAGE GENERAL ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE
(DEV2011- 00053)
(720 WEST LA PALMA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, 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); and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim did receive an
application for a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to permit the sales of
alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption in conjunction with a grocery store for certain real
property situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, shown on
Exhibit "A ", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on July 6, 2011, 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 the Anaheim
Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed
determination of public convenience or necessity for an alcoholic beverage control license and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said 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, does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the C -G (General Commercial) zone permits the sales of alcoholic beverages
for off -site consumption in conjunction with a grocery market over 15,000 square feet, pursuant
to Sections 18.08.030 (Primary Uses, Commercial Zones),of the Anaheim Municipal Code. The
proposed sales of alcoholic beverages for off site consumption will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located because the sale of alcoholic beverages represents a minor component of the store's
overall sales and the sale of alcoholic beverages is tightly controlled by the store operator.
-1- PC2011 -047
2. That California state law requires a Determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity when property is located in a reporting district with a high crime area, 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.
3. That 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.
4. That subject property is located within Census Tract 866.02 with a population that
allows four off - premises sales licenses and there are currently eight off - premises sales licenses in
the tract. The existing Type 20 ABC license would be upgraded to a Type 21 license so the
number will not change. Police Department staff indicates that this site is located within Police
Reporting District 1524 which has a crime rate that is 213% above the citywide average.
Although the area has an above - average crime rate, the Police Department does not feel that the
upgrade of the license will be a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood due to the nature of
reported crimes in the area.
5. That the traffic generated by the grocery market with off - premises alcoholic 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 Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity can be made based on
the finding that the upgraded license requested is consistent with the Planning Commission's
previous approvals 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 alcoholic beverages is ancillary to the
store and would serve as an added convenience to residents and visitors to the area 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 recommended
conditions of approval.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Section 15303, 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 Anaheim City Planning
Commission does hereby determine that the public convenience or necessity will be served by
the issuance of a license for the sale of alcoholic beverages for off - premises consumption at this
location subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and
incorporated by this reference which are found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use
of the subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the Citizens
of the City of Anaheim.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City 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.

hereby find and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon

Commission does hereby approve the Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity No.
2011 -00078 subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and
incorporated by this reference which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the
