The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows:
A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit 2012-07 was filed by
Mr. Jong Han Lee of L2 Business & Development, Inc., requesting
authorization for on-site alcoholic beverage sales for beer and wine (ABC
License Type 41) in conjunction with a bona fide restaurant located in an
existing 4,290 square-foot tenant space at 1150 Irvine Blvd.
B. That the site is designated as Community Commercial by the City General
Plan and is within the Retail Commercial (C-1) zoning district where
restaurants with alcoholic beverage sales establishments are conditionally
permitted. The project is consistent with the Air Quality Sub-element of the
City of Tustin General Plan.
C. That pursuant to Sections 9299b3 and 9291 a of the Tustin City Code, the
Planning Commission has the authority to consider requests for on-site
alcoholic beverage sales licenses for restaurants.

Use Permit 2012-07 on August 28, 2012, by the Planning Commission.
F That the use is located in an existing commercial area where a variety of
retail and restaurant uses are located. The characteristics of the use and
proposed hours of operation until midnight daily would be similar and
compatible to other restaurants in the vicinity.
G. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will
not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working
in the neighborhood of such proposed use, nor be injurious or detrimental to
the property and improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property,
or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin in that:
The proposed sale of on-site alcoholic beverages in conjunction
with restaurant use is allowed within the Retail Commercial (C-1)
zoning district with approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

uses. Bona fide restaurants with on-site alcoholic beverage sales
are exempt from distance separation requirements to residential
uses, sensitive uses and other alcoholic beverage sales
establishments.
