That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. The proposed banquet facility at this location will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan. The granting of this conditional use permit supports several policies contained in the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City’s needs for goods and services. The banquet facility provides a venue that can be rented by Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. Operational standards and the recorded property maintenance agreement will help maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supports surrounding land uses. The Place Banquet Hall is located within a commercial zone and its operations are compatible with the surrounding commercial businesses. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b) (3). This exemption applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The project proposes to allow a banquet facility at an existing building. There is no reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to the facility having the necessary infrastructure to operate the proposed use and no new expansion of the existing building is proposed. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2019-97, will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, 1- 13
