Alcoholic Beverage Sales
The sale of beer and wine for on-site consumption in conjunction with a restaurant can be
authorized in conformance with the City's Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment
Guidelines adopted by the Planning Commission on March 13, 2018, and TCC Section
9271(dd). Pursuant to TCC Section 9271(dd), on-site alcoholic beverage sales, that
include on-site sale of alcohol at restaurants for on-site consumption, are exempt from
distance separation requirements to sensitive uses and other alcoholic beverage sales
establishments. The applicant is proposing to provide full menu food service during all
hours the establishment is open for business while offering beer and wine alcohol service,
in conformance with the conditions of approval and applicable regulations from the State
Alcoholic Beverage Control Department.
Hours of Operation
The applicant proposes to operate the restaurant with on-site sale of beer and wine between
the hours of 11.00 AM to 10.00 PM, Monday through Sunday. The proposed hours are
consistent with the hours of operation of other similar businesses in the vicinity.

Public Convenience and Necessity
The project site is located in Census Tract No. 0755.18, and the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has confirmed that the Census Tract is over-
concentrated with establishments that serve alcohol. Although there are currently twenty-
six (26) on-site alcoholic beverage sales licenses in the Census Tract, it was determined
by ABC that the proposed project will not contribute negatively to the undue concentration
of alcohol establishments. Conversely, compliance with the ABC regulations and the
proposed conditions of approval, would allow the proposed use to add to the diversity of
uses within the area. Furthermore, the Tustin Police Department reviewed the proposal
and does not have any concerns regarding the proposed hours of operation.
Parking
The sale of alcohol is proposed as an accessory use within an existing restaurant tenant
space and no expansions are proposed. Th tenant space was previously occupied by a
restaurant (Five Guys) and is located within The District at Tustin Legacy. The proposed
sales of alcohol for on-site consumption is an accessory use to a new restaurant tenant
(Rakkan Ramen) and no additional parking is required.
CONCLUSION
Analysis of CUP 2022-0006 has determined that the establishment, maintenance, and
operation of the proposed on-site alcoholic beverage sales in conjunction with a
restaurant establishment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or
general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the 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. Furthermore, the
proposed on-site sale and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant,
as conditioned, is consistent with the Planning Commission Guidelines for Alcoholic
Beverage Sales Establishments and TCC Section 9271(dd). Findings to support the
request have been included in ZAA No. 22-006. Accordingly, staff recommends that the
Zoning Administrator approve the request for CUP 2022-0006 authorizing the sale of beer
and wine in conjunction with a restaurant located at 2427 Park Ave, Suite S003H, subject
to the Conditions of Approval set forth in ZAA No. 22-006.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION NO. 22-006
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION 22-006
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2022-0006
2427 PARK AVENUE, SUITE S003H
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) 2022-0006 was filed
by Wesley Kim on behalf of KN Partners LLC, requesting authorization to allow
the on-site sale and consumption of beer and wine in conjunction with a
restaurant establishment (Rakkan Ramen) located at 2427 Park Avenue, Suite
S003H.
B. The project site is within the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan (TLSP) (SP-1) in Planning
Areas 16-19 (PA 16-19). Pursuant to Tustin City Code (TCC) Section 9271(dd),
the TLSP, PA 16-19 allows on-site alcoholic beverage sales (beer and wine) in
conjunction with a restaurant subject to the approval of a CUP. Pursuant to Section
9299b(3)(g) of the TCC, the Zoning Administrator has the authority to review and
approve CUPs for on-site alcoholic beverage sales licenses for restaurants.
C. The restaurant use was established as part of The District at Tustin Legacy
development.
D. That a public hearing was duly called, noticed, and held for CUP 2022-0006 on
May 26, 2022, by the Zoning Administrator.
E. 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:
1) The proposed sale of on-site alcoholic beverages in conjunction with an
existing restaurant use is allowed within the TLSP PA 16-19. The project site
is designated as TLSP (SP-1) by the General Plan which allows for a variety
of retail, professional office, light industrial, and service-oriented business
activities serving a regional and community-wide area and population.
2) As conditioned, the proposed on-site consumption of alcohol shall comply
with the Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishment Guidelines as adopted by
the Planning Commission on March 13, 2018, and TCC Section 9271(dd).
3) As conditioned, the on-site sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages
would be in conjunction with a restaurant where food will be served at all times
that alcoholic beverages are sold and served.
Zoning Administrator Action 22-006
CUP 2022-0006 (Type 41 ABC License)
Page 2
4) The restaurant use is located within a retail shopping center where a variety
of retail and food establishment uses are located. As conditioned, the
characteristics of the restaurant use and hours of operation of the restaurant
would be similar to other food establishments in the vicinity.
5) The proposed addition of alcohol sales will not result in any additional
parking requirements for the existing business since it will be an accessory
use and no expansion is proposed to the existing tenant space.
6) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns.
F. That the operational characteristics and features of the facility, such as the hours
of operation, 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, in that:
1) As conditioned, business operations, including hours of operation, would be
conducted in a manner which does not create a public or private nuisance.
2) As conditioned, the owner or manager of the licensed premises would
maintain a written security policy and procedures manual on the premises.
The security policy would identify individuals who are responsible for the
premises.
3) The on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages would be in conjunction
with a restaurant where food will be served at all times when alcoholic
beverages are served.
4) The proposed restaurant is located within a commercial center where a
variety of retail, office, and restaurant uses are located. The restaurant
requests to operate Monday through Sunday from 11 :00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
These hours are consistent with the characteristics of restaurant uses and
the hours of operation of the restaurant would be similar to other restaurants
in the vicinity.
G. That although the proposed establishment is located within an over-concentrated
area of alcoholic beverage sales licenses, the sales of alcoholic beverages would
not have a negative impact on the community, in that:
1) The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages is in conjunction with the
establishment of a restaurant.
2) The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns, as The District at Tustin Legacy shopping center,
where project is located, does not have a high crime rate. As conditioned,
Zoning Administrator Action 22-006
CUP 2022-0006 (Type 41 ABC License)
Page 3
the owner or manager of the licensed premises would maintain a written
security policy and procedures manual on the premises.
3) The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has
confirmed that Census Tract No. 0755.18, where the project is located, is
an over-concentrated area. There are currently twenty-six (26) on-site
alcoholic beverage sales licenses in the Census Tract. While the business
is located within an over-concentrated area for on-site alcoholic beverage
sales, the proposed on-site alcoholic beverage sales within a restaurant
establishment will not contribute negatively to the undue concentration of
alcohol establishments in Census Tract No. 755.18 in that the business
would add to the diversity of uses within this area and shall be required to
comply with ABC's license restrictions and the proposed conditions of
approval.
H. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1) of the
California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality
Act).
II. The Zoning Administrator hereby approves CUP 2022-0006 authorizing the on-site sale
of beer and wine (Type 41 ABC License) for on-site consumption in conjunction with
a restaurant establishment (Rakkan Ramen) located at 2427 Park Avenue, Suite
S003H, subject to the conditions contained within Exhibit A, attached hereto.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Zoning Administrator of the City of Tustin, at a regular
meeting on the 26th day of May, 2022.
