Section 7. The Planning Commission made the following findings
regarding Conditional Use Permit 05-3 and determined the proposed project is consistent
with the General Plan:
(a) Conditional Use Permit No. 05-3 is consistent with the provisions
of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan, which provides a "service
commercial" designation for the subject property and permits the off-sale service of
alcoholic beverages and 24-hour business operations subject to the issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit. The use is also consistent with the remaining elements of the
City's General Plan as the policies of those elements are consistent with, and reflected in,
the Land Use Element. Accordingly, the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.
(b) The building and property at 901 - 1101 Pacific Coast Highway
are adequate in size, shape, topography and location to meet the needs of the proposed
use of the property. Required adherence to applicable building and fire codes ensures
there will be adequate water supply and utilities for the proposed use.
(c) The off-premises sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits and the 24-
hour operations, if properly conditioned and enforced, is compatible with the character of
the surrounding area. Adherence to conditions of approval placed on the use by both the
City of Seal Beach and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control should mitigate
any negative impacts to neighboring residential properties.
(d) The subject property has been developed as a market since 1966.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the foregoing the
Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 05-3, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Conditional Use Permit 05-3 is approved for a new market. The permitted use
allows the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for off-premises consumption
and 24-hour operations.
2. All construction must be in substantial conformance to the plans approved by
Planning Commission for Conditional Use Permit 05-3.
3. The applicant shall comply with all restrictions placed upon the license issued by
the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
4. The applicant shall furnish the City a copy of the ABC license and a copy of any
conditions placed on the license by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control. This shall be done as soon as the license is received by the applicant
from the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
