Planning Commission - Regular

The City of Santa Ana Planning Commission held a regular meeting on June 8, 2026, which included a public hearing on a conditional use permit (CUP 2026-09) for a new restaurant at 220 East 4th Street, Unit 105. The permit sought approval for the sale of beer and wine for on-premises consumption under a Type 21 ABC license. The proposed restaurant, occupying a 1,124 square-foot space with a 425 square-foot outdoor patio, plans to operate initially with limited hours focused on lunch and brunch service. The commission discussed conditions including security measures, a six-month and twelve-month review for the new business, and the requirement for an encroachment permit for outdoor seating. The CUP was approved by majority vote. No fiscal impact was noted, and the project was found consistent with the city's land use policies. The meeting also included general comments on downtown development and recognition of a departing commissioner.
