Resolution No. 2023-20 Page 4 of 6 to increased pollution near sensitive receptors. As stated earlier, as part of the proposal, potential impacts onto surrounding properties, including the adjacent child care facility, from health risks, air quality, and noise were not addressed or evaluated to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission. Goal 2 of the Safety Element (“S”) supports the protection of residents and environmental resources from contaminated hazardous material sites and minimize risks associated with the use, production, storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials. Policy 2.6 of the Safety Element supports the determination of the presence of hazardous materials and/or waste contamination prior to approval of new uses and require appropriate measures be taken to protect the health and safety of site users and the community.

These findings support several goals and policies outlined in the General Plan. Goal 1 of the Land Use Element (“LU”) encourages a land use plan that improves quality of life and respects our existing community.

Goal 2 of the Land Use Element encourages a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages a range of commercial uses to capture a greater share of local spending and offer a range of employment opportunities. The proposed project is located
