Conditions of approval address construction-related and ongoing operational impacts that could result from the project, including the requirement to install the height-restriction bars limiting truck traffic described in the Executive Summary portion of this report. Those conditions are attached as Exhibit A to the CUP resolution. Public Notification and Community Outreach Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 12. There are no established Neighborhood Associations in the vicinity as the property is surrounded by industrial and office uses within the 1,000-foot radius. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. In addition to the standard notification requirements, the project is subject to community engagement requirements of the Sunshine Ordinance (SAMC Sec. 2-153). At the time the application was submitted, the Sunshine Ordinance required only one community meeting; however, the applicant held two communities in order to provide ample public input opportunities to surrounding property owners. Both meetings were conducted virtually due to the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic at the time. The first community meeting was held July 8, 2021. Ten members of the community attended and posted questions relating to construction impacts and the site plan design. Because of this meeting, the original site plan was rotated 90 degrees clockwise to orient the loading docks from facing east to facing south, to minimize impacts onto properties to the north and east of the site. The second community meeting was held October 5, 2021, during which 11 members of the community attended and expressed satisfaction with the revised site plan and posed questions about traffic control, site screening, and construction impacts. Materials from both community meetings are included with this report as Exhibit 11, and all materials were published to the project’s webpage on the City’s website at santa-ana.org/garry-avenue-business-park. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 6
