10A. CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1144 AMENDING SECTION 20.400.030 OF\nTHE STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE STANDARDS FOR\nALCOHOL SALES IN MIXED-USE OVERLAY AREAS\nApplicant Jawdet Hanoun submitted a request to amend the Stanton Municipal Code in\norder to update regulations for alcohol sales in Mixed-Use projects. Currently, the Zoning\nCode does not allow alcohol sales to be conducted in proximity to residential uses. This\nautomatically prohibits the sale of alcohol in any commercial tenant space of a mixed-use\nproject because residential and commercial uses are located on the same property. The\napplicant requested an amendment to introduce new regulations that would allow the sale\nof alcohol in mixed-use projects. The Planning Commission held a hearing on June 19,\n2024 where they heard the request, along with a proposal for a new high-end\nneighborhood market and adopted Resolution No. 2566 recommending approval of\nOrdinance No. 1144. The Ordinance to amend Section 20.400.030 of the Stanton\nMunicipal Code proposes to establish specific regulations to allow alcohol sales in mixed-\nuse developments located in designated Mixed-Use Overlays or Mixed-Use Districts.\nJuly 23, 2024\nRECOMMENDED ACTION:\n1. City Council conduct the public hearing and first reading of Ordinance No. 1144,\nentitled:\n“AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON,\nCALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 20.400.030 OF THE STANTON\nMUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE STANDARDS FOR ALCOHOL\nSALES IN MIXED-USE OVERLAY AREAS”; and\n2. Declare that the project is exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act\n(CEQA) under section 15061(b)(3) which applies to projects that will not have a\nsignificant impact on the environment; and\n3.

These facilities provide a valuable service; however, they\ncan be associated with negative impacts on the vulnerable populations that they serve if\nnot properly regulated. The City needs sufficient time to thoroughly study the issues and\nwork on proposals to develop recommendations to appropriately update the City’s\nMunicipal Code and Zoning regulations to address these issues.

Not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California\nEnvironmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines (Title 14 of the California Code\nof Regulations) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in\nthe environment, directly or indirectly; and\nJuly 23, 2024\nb. Exempt from the requirements of CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the\nCEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility\nthat the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.\n2.
