You are invited to be part of the City of Santa Ana’s continued discussion related to citywide liquor license and entertainment policies. The City of Santa Ana’s Public Safety Committee will be deliberating the proposed policy changes on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, at 5:30 p.m., at the Police Department Community Room (60 Civic Center Plaza).

The City of Santa Ana would like your feedback on our initial concepts related to future alcohol and entertainment policies citywide.  Based on a series of previous discussions the following goals have been identified:

• Make process for alcohol sales (CUP) faster, cheaper and simpler
• Create consistent rules that create a level playing field and applied citywide
• Eliminate confusing parts of rules and create certainty for applicants
• Maintain public safety
• Create policies that maintain a healthy balance of uses in the downtown and support an 18-hour environment
• Support merchants that provide goods and services to family and youth
• Create a permit that allows restaurants to offer dancing and entertainment
• Reduce the restricted store size from 20,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet for stores
