City Plan Review and County Health Department

 I have neglected the blog for too long.  Fear not, I have not neglected spending all my free time moving Good Beer forward.
 
In the past week, I have moved two necessary processes forward. I resubmitted a revised plan set to the City of Santa Ana and submitted the initial plan review package to the County of Orange Health Care Agency's Wholesale Food Program.  So we're moving forward through the heaps of licensing, permitting and regulation.

I received comments from the City, revised the plan set, with the help of my talented cousin and recent Architecture graduate, Jen Manckia, and resubmitted the revised plan for a second review.  It's my understanding that some of the staff at the City are getting excited about having Good Beer as a member of the downtown business community.

I had lunch with Vicky from Downtown Inc. back in June.  Downtown Inc is a non-profit serving as Santa Ana's Downtown Business Improvement District (BID).  Downtown Inc receives funding from an assessment on Downtown property owners and the BID's purpose is to market and promote downtown to the world.  Downtown Inc's mission is to facilitate the enhancement of Downtown Santa Ana as a vibrant shopping, entertainment, business and cultural destination for all. I imagine Good Beer will be working closely with Downtown Inc in the coming years as we share a mission to enhance Downtown Santa Ana.

As for the County review, I met with County staff a couple times over the summer and even had one inspector visit my building for a pre-submittal screening.  We came to some great solutions and I expect the plan set to move through the County permitting process rather quickly.  

Can you believe it!
