NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission oft the City of Orange hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 3217 allowing for the sale of a full range of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a new State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 21 License (Off-Sale General) at an existing convenience store, located at 1095 N. Glassell Street, based on the following findings: SECTION 1 - FINDINGS Page 4 of14 General Plan Finding: 1. The project must be consistent with the goals and policies stated within the City's The Project is consistent with the goals and policies stated in the City's General Plan Land Use and Economic Development Elements in that a full range of alcohol sales for off-site consumption promote commercial enterprise, support a revenue-generating business, and encourages a successful commercial district. Permitting the existing convenience store to sell a full range of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption allows the establishment to be competitive with other convenience stores in the area that are already permitted to sell alcoholic beverages. Authorizing the sale of a full range of alcoholic beverages for an existing convenience store may help to retain the convenience store, thereby maintaining economic activity and demonstrating economic vitality in the area. The Orange Police Department's ("OPD") review of the license and recommended conditions of approval support the General Plan Public Safety Element Goals that require the City to maintain an adequately manned and equipped police force, and maintain crime prevention programs designed to protect residents and property from crime. General Plan. Conditional Use Permit Findings: 1. A Conditional Use Permit shall be granted upon sound principles of land use and The granting of this Conditional Use Permit is based upon sound principles of land use and in response to services required by the community. Consideration has been given as to whether the proposed use will detrimentally affect adjacent land uses. The proposed request provides an opportunity to those customers desiring to purchase alcoholic beverages other than, ori in additioni to, beer and wine at a convenience store. The subject property's land use is adjacent to similar uses along N. Glassell Street. The sale of a full range of alcohol beverages is accessory to the existing convenience store use and will only occur during normal business operating hours. This is a service typically expected Strong consideration was given to the manner in which the business will operate under the provisions of this Conditional Use Permit (CUP). As conditioned, its operation is not expected to create a nuisance to the community or a burden on police services. Consideration was given to the over-concentration of off-sale licenses within the Census Tract and the crime rate in the Reporting District and the adjacent Reporting District. Conditions of approval have been placed on the project to compensate for potential detrimental effects that could be caused by alcohol consumption. As conditioned, the sale of a full range of alcoholic beverages should not contribute to the crime rate in the 2.

Reporting District. Page! 5 of14 The request to sell a full range of alcoholic beverages at an existing convenience store will not cause deterioration of the bordering land uses or create special problems for the area in that the site is located in a neighborhood oriented commercial node in proximity to a major commercial corridor intended for retail, service, and commercial uses, and there are other similar land uses in the vicinity. In addition to this, the existing convenience store has operated in the same location, with the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption for the last 25 years without any deterioration of bordering land uses or creating any special problems. While there are sensitive land uses within 600 feet of the site, these properties do not have direct access to the subject property and the sale ofa full range of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption would be accessory to the primary function oft the convenience store. Specific project features combined with project conditions compensate for detrimental effects that could be caused by the sale of a full range of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption and an over-concentration of alcohol licenses within Census Tract. The conditions of approval include limits to the size and quantity of alcohol that can be sold at the premises, limit floor area dedicated to alcohol sales, limit promotions of alcoholic beverages, prohibit certain methods of distributing alcoholic beverages, address graffiti and litter removal, and limit the gross 3. A Conditional Use Permit must be considered in relationship to its effect on the The location of the convenience store is at the intersection of N. Glassell Street and E. Quincy Avenue. N. Glassell Street is a neighborhood commercial node where shopping and dining establishments are expected to be concentrated. The proposed sale of a full range of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption as an accessory use will support the success of the convenience store and the continuation of a convenient neighborhood business. The use is not anticipated to have an adverse impact on neighboring land uses and the community, because approval of this CUP request will not result in the increase of ABC licenses that allow the sale of alcohol for off-site consumption because the applicant will have to surrender their existing ABC Type 20 License prior to issuance of the new Type 21 license. Granting an upgraded off-sale license with appropriate conditions will not affect sensitive land uses in the immediate area. In addition, the operation of alcohol sales is subject to the regulations contained in the conditions of approval, which are crafted to mitigate potential negative effects that could occur as a 4. A Conditional Use Permit, if granted, shall be made subject to those conditions necessary to preserve the general welfare, not the individual welfare of any particular The conditions for the CUP are put forth with the purpose of preserving the general welfare of the community. The OPD conditions include a review of the convenience store operation and police records for excessive calls one year after the beginning of the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Other conditions have been placed on the project to reduce crime-inducing activities by limiting the size and quantity of alcohol that can be sold at the premises, limiting floor area dedicated to alcohol sales, limiting promotions of alcoholic beverages, prohibiting certain methods of distributing alcoholic beverages, addressing graffiti and litter removal, and limiting the gross sales of alcohol to non-alcohol sales. SECTION 2-1 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1- - Existing Facilities) because the project consists of licensing the sale of a full range of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption at an existing convenience store, and results in no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the City's determination, SECTION 3 - APPROVAL AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Conditional Use Permit No. 3217, with the following conditions: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby approves General Conditions: 1.
