ZA Gallardo-Daly gave applicants Ruth Flores and Sam Assi an opportunity to address the Zoning Administrator. Ms. Flores gave a brief history of Primo Foods, which was founded twenty years ago in San Diego. This is their first venture in Orange County and they are excited to be in the community.

ZA Gallardo-Daly was able to make the findings for the Minor Conditional Use Permit. The proposed beer and wine sales is a conditionally permitted use in the Mixed Use 5.1 Zone. The project maintains the primary use of the site as a grocery/food store and the proposed offsite beer and wine sales is ancillary, doesn’t intensify the use, no additional parking is required, the store is closes at 8:00 p.m., and the project is conditioned to comply with all the requirements of the fire code, building code and Alcohol Beverage Control.
Based on the information in the staff report and subject to the required Findings and Conditions of Approval, ZA Gallardo-Daly determined the project Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities).
