Guidelines. The proposed development project has been determined to be adequately <br />evaluated and is within the scope of the previously certified EIR. <br />The project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Metro East Mixed Use <br />overlay district development standards, with the exception of onsite open space that is <br />the subject of the density bonus agreement application. Furthermore, the project has <br />been designed to be compatible with the scale of other residences in the area and is <br />consistent with Policies 2.10 and 3.5 of the Land Use Element that supports new <br />development which is compatible in scale and character with existing development in <br />the area. The development of this vacant lot also supports Policy 1.3 of the Housing <br />Element that promotes a complementary mix of land uses that improves the character <br />and stability of neighborhoods. <br />Further, the proposed project will take place within city limits and is on a project <br />site that is less than five acres in size and is surrounded by urban areas. The project <br />site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and is not <br />identified in the General Plan as having such value. Approval of the project will not <br />result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The <br />City's Planning Division and Public Works Agency have reviewed the proposed project <br />and have determined that the amount of traffic, noise, air quality impacts, and water <br />quality impacts are below thresholds that would warrant further analyses. <br />Finally, the site will be served by all required utilities and public services as it is <br />located within a heavily -urbanized area on First Street adjacent to major freeways. <br />Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2021-116 <br />will be filed for this project. <br />Section 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the <br />public hearing, hereby approves Site Plan Review No. 2022-03 and Density Bonus <br />Agreement No. 2022-02 as conditioned in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated as <br />though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the <br />above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning <br />Commission Action dated June 27, 2022, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public <br />testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. <br />Resolution No. 2022-23 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
