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 -048 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 871.03 with a population that allows nine off - premises sales licenses and there are currently nine off - premises sales license 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 1821 which has a crime rate that is 171% 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 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. 2 PC2011 -048 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED this permit is approved without limitations on the duration of the use.
