MAIN STREET The Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Zoning Administrator finds and determines as follows: A. That a proper application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2014-02 was filed by Enrico Pozzuoli of Pozzuoli Winery, Inc., requesting authorization for off - and on-site alcoholic beverage sales (ABC Licenses Type 20 — Off Sale Beer & Wine and Type 23 — Small Beer Manufacturer) in an existing 1,052 square foot tenant space at located at 140 E.

The site is designated as Old Town Commercial by the City General Plan and is located within the Central Commercial (C2) zoning district, Cultural Resources Overlay (CR), where micro -winery is an authorized and encouraged use, and within the Parking Overlay (P) district. The project is consistent with the Air Quality Sub -element of the City of Tustin General Plan. C. That pursuant to TCC Section 9299b(3)(g) of the Tustin City Code, the Zoning Administrator has the authority to consider requests for alcoholic beverage sales licenses. D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2014-02 on May 20, 2014, by the Zoning Administrator. E. That alcoholic beverage sales establishments are conditionally permitted uses within the C2 zoning district (TCC Sections 9233b1 and 9232b2) subject to the provisions contained within TCC Section 9271dd of the TCC. F. That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with a micro -winery, tasting room and ancillary brewery 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: 1) The proposed alcoholic beverage sales establishment use is allowed within the Central Commercial (C2) and Cultural Resources (CR) zoning districts with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 2) That the CR zoning district permits and encourages micro -winery and tasting room uses and exempts the use from distance requirements for alcoholic beverage sales establishments. Zoning Administrator Action 14-001 CUP 2014-02 Page 2 3) That the proposed micro -winery use would create growth and opportunity as a source of additional business and employment opportunities within Old Town. 4) That the operational characteristics and features of the facility, such as the hours of operation and outdoor dining, are appropriate for the location and type of use proposed in relation to surrounding residential areas, sensitive uses such as places of worship, parks, schools, hospitals, clinics, convalescent homes, and other similar uses selling or serving alcoholic beverages. 5) As conditioned, the proposed micro -winery, tasting room and ancillary brewery is consistent with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines as amended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council on May 21, 2001, and the TCC Section 9271dd. 6) The on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages would be in conjunction with food service. 7) The sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption will be in accordance with the TCC in that the business shall only sell wine and beer it produces for off-site consumption. 8) That the brewery component is ancillary to the primary micro -winery and tasting room use, that beer sales are limited to the beverages produced onsite and full food service shall be available during business hours. 9) The proposed micro -winery, tasting room and ancillary brewery use is located within a retail center where a variety of retail, service retail, and restaurant uses are located. The hours of operation are proposed to be limited to 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Monday through Thursday, 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM Friday through Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. The characteristics of the micro -winery, tasting room and ancillary brewery use and hours of operation would be similar to other businesses in the center and in the vicinity. 10) The proposed micro -winery, tasting room and ancillary brewery is considered similar to a restaurant and lounge in that patrons would visit the establishment for food and beverages; therefore, pursuant to TCC Section 9263 Table 1, no additional parking would be required for the proposed use. 11) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no immediate concerns.
