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, since the retail sale of alcoholic beverages is a conditionally -
permitted use in Development Zone 3 (DZ-3) of the Downtown Specific Plan.
2. That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plans, since Policy LU-5.5 provides for the support for redevelopment
and revitalization of downtown, which expanding the viability of the restaurant will
encourage.
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, since the
restaurant has historically sold beer and wine and the additional area approved for
beer and wine sales is not expected to increase the demand for parking on the
property.
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,
since National City Boulevard is classified as an arterial street in the Circulation
Element, and an increase in the area approved for alcohol sales is not expected
to result in an appreciable increase in traffic.
5. That granting of 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, since the existing restaurant is approved to sell
beer and wine; and since the additional area approved for alcohol sales is within the
existing building.
6. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, since staff has already determined that the proposed
use is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 1,
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed
subsequent to approval of this Conditional Use Permit.
7 That public convenience and necessity will be served by the proposed use of the
property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law.
RECOMMENDED FINDING FOR DENIAL
1 That public convenience and necessity will not be served by the proposed use of
the property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law.
