December 1, 2015, support the following findings:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF
THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. That the proposed use is allowable within the applicable zoning district pursuant to a
Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Land Use
Code, because alcohol sales for on -site consumption are a conditionally -allowed use in
the Major Mixed -Use Corridor Zone.
2. That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific
plans, because alcohol sales are permitted, subject to a Conditional Use Permit, by the
Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan; and because alcohol sales
for on -site consumption are a conditionally -allowed use in the Major Mixed -Use Corridor
Zone, and because no Specific Plans exist in this location.
3. That the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity
would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, because no
expansion is proposed, because the proposed use would be accessory to an existing
restaurant use in an existing commercial area, and because the sale of beer is not
expected to appreciably increase traffic on Mile of Cars Way based on the current capacity
and traffic numbers.
4. That the site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being
proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, because
the proposed use would be accessory to an existing restaurant use in an existing
commercial area, which is not expected to increase the demand for parking on the
property.

5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the
public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons,
property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located,
because the proposed use will be compatible with other nearby businesses; and because
the proposed use will be subject to conditions that limit the sale of alcohol and restrict the
hours that it will be available.
6. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, because it has been determined that the proposed use is not
a project per the Act; There is no calculable increase in traffic and no other impacts are
anticipated; therefore, the project would not result in any physical changes to the
environment.
7. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
necessity, because it will contribute to the continued viability of a restaurant, an established
and allowed use in the Major Mixed -Use District Zone.
8. That based on findings 1 through 7 above, public convenience and necessity will be
served by a proposed use of the property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages
pursuant to law.
