Center (UC) sub -zone, as shown in Exhibit A and Exhibit B respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 4. LOCATION OF DOCUMENTS: The Amendment Application, Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Transit Zoning Code Project (SCH NO. 2006071100) and all supporting documents are online, on file and available for public review at Santa Ana City Hall, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California 92702. Section 5. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY: The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Amendment Application is compatible with the objectives, policies, and general plan land use programs in that: A. The proposed Amendment Application will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare in that the Amendment Application will not result in incompatible land uses on adjacent properties, inconsistencies with any General Plan goals or policies, or adverse impacts to the environment. B. The amendment application to change the zoning designation of Site B from Specific Development No. 84, Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) sub -zone, to the Urban Center (UC) sub -zone is consistent with Santa Ana Municipal Code section 41-593.1 for the following reasons: (1) Protecting and enhancing the value of properties by encouraging the use of good design principles and concepts, as related to the division of property, site planning and individual improvements with full recognition of the significance and effect they have on the proper planning and development of adjacent and nearby properties. The project's site plan has been designed to integrate the project site into the surrounding community. Both parking garages will provide vehicular gates separating available commercial parking spaces (e.g., guest, commercial, employee, etc.) from the residential parking areas. Vehicular access will be provided from Fifth Street by one right -turn only driveway west of Mortimer Street and one full access driveway east of Mortimer Street. The on -site circulation would provide safe access for vehicle -pedestrian traffic and the driveway would provide sufficient throating such that access to parking spaces is not impacted by internal vehicle queuing/stacking. Pedestrian access points would be provided by residential lobbies access along French and Mortimer Street. These access points have been designed to ensure the safety of residents and visitors of the project site, as well as commuters, employees, and residents of the surrounding community.
