And that the public hearing part of the program tonight is item 5.1, which is a request for a use permit, and waiver for off-site beer, wine, and distilled spirits at a proposed liquor store located at 2701 East Hammer Lane in Suite 117. Uh planning number P22004, APN 090 5807. Um we're gonna have a staff report first, and then we'll take it from there. Staff, please. Okay. Good evening, Mike McDowell, community development deputy director. As you mentioned, uh the site uh for this evening's presentation is at 2701 Hammer Lane, located in green there at the corner of Hammer and Lorraine. Uh the general plan for this location identifies commercial for the actual site. You can see there's a mix of uses surrounding the site. You've got residential located to the east of the site. I'm sorry, to the west of the site, and you've got industrial located to the north and to the south of the site, and you have some office space located immediately west along the rain. Zoning map additionally calls this site out as commercial general, and then the surrounding use is again very similar as far as they match up with the uses I described for the general plan land use. So the actual uh tenant space, so 117 is the tenant space here. It's with the star, so it's located in the back of the center. If you look at the site today, we're looking basically hammer lane, is is just to the uh bottom of the screen, and then Lorraine to the left of the screen. So with alcohol requests, again, this one's for off-sale alcohol sales. This is general, so this would be beer, wine, and spirits with the request uh for alcohol, as you know, uh it requires a use permit from the commission, and then the proposed liquor store complies with all restrictions and existing sales of uh licenses, and the project site is located within a high crime reporting district, therefore the applicants requesting a waiver, and as indicated in your staff report, I'll get to it as far as the crime. It's located in crime reporting district 34 345.
