<br />Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and the Transit
<br />Zoning Code (SD-84) zoning provisions.
<br />5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of
<br />the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed
<br />use.
<br />The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan.
<br />The granting of this conditional use permit supports several
<br />policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the
<br />Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate
<br />the City’s needs for goods and services. Providing a variety
<br />of restaurants with extended hours of operation offers
<br />additional dining options for Santa Ana residents and
<br />visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element
<br />supports developments that create a business environment
<br />that is safe and attractive. Conditions of approval have been
<br />placed on this conditional use permit that will maintain a safe
<br />and attractive environment in Santa Ana. Finally, Policy 5.5
<br />of the Land Use Element encourages development that is
<br />compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses.
<br />Noble Ale Works brewery and restaurant is located in a
<br />commercial area and its operation is compatible with the
<br />surrounding commercial businesses. The project is located in
<br />the Downtown sub-zone of the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84)
<br />zoning district and is designed to meet all additional
<br />development standards designated in the SD-84 zoning
<br />district and Santa Ana Municipal Code.
<br />
<br />Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
<br />project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, Replacement
<br />or Reconstruction. Class 1 exemptions consists of the operation, repair, maintenance,
<br />permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alterations of existing public or private structures,
<br />facilities involving no expansion at the time of the lead agency's determination. No new
<br />building square footage is proposed as part of the project. The proposed project would
<br />alter the existing building to convert the previously approved office use to allow a
<br />restaurant and small brewery. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption,
<br />Environmental Review No. 2018-17 will be filed for this project.
<br />
<br /> Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
<br />and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies,
<br />authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims,
<br />demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether
<br />legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative
<br />dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and
<br />such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”),
<br />brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents,
<br />departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to
