Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 2 of 6 Application No. 2022-01 to change the site’s zoning designation from Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1). D. The applicant has demonstrated compliance with all requirements of the Sunshine Ordinance codified at Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-153, including public notification and hosting of required community meetings. Materials resulting from the meetings were subsequently posted to the City’s webpage for the project. E. On August 22, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2022-01. Following information received during the public hearing, the Planning Commission continued the item to its regular meeting on September 26, 2022, after which the project was continued to its regular meeting on October 10, 2022. F. The City Council has reviewed applicable general plan policies and has determined that this proposed rezoning is consistent with the purpose of the General Plan. The General Plan identifies on Table LU-A-1 that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The subject site is designated by the General Plan Land Use Element as FLEX-3. This land use designation by the General Plan encourages developments that provide context appropriate development in areas with existing industrial uses. The building has been designed to feature taller height and contemporary finishes to ensure it remains aesthetically compatible with the surrounding area, even as adjacent properties may redevelop with new industrial or mixed-use office, industrial, and/or research and development uses. The project has been designed to conform to all applicable standards of the M1 zoning district. G. The City Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, held a duly noticed public hearing on November 1, 2022. H. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request for Council Action dated November 1, 2022, accompanying this matter. I. For the reasons contained herein, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2022-01 is hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code; thus changing the zoning district is found to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare. Section 2. The Amendment Application consists of amendments to the Zoning Map, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the analysis performed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 10
