After <br />receiving public testimony on the item, the Planning Commission voted <br />unanimously (6-0-0-1 with Ramos absent) to adopt a resolution approving <br />SPR No. 2023-01 and TTM No. 2023-03, with modified conditions of <br />approval. Specifically, the Planning Commission modified the conditions of <br />approval to require the applicant, Fairfield Realty, LLC. (Applicant), on behalf <br />of David A. Colton, trustee of David A. Colton Trust (Property Owner) to <br />coordinate with the Public Works Agency to develop a traffic -calming strategy <br />when the Project reaches 70-percent and 95-percent occupancy, and <br />requires the applicant to implement such strategy when feasible and <br />appropriate as determined by the City. <br />B. On May 1, 2023, Lozeau Drury, LLP, on behalf of the Supporters Alliance for <br />Environmental Responsibility (SAFER), submitted an appeal application <br />(Appeal No. 2023-02) pursuant to Section 41-645 of the Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code ("SAMC") requesting that the City Council reconsider the Planning <br />Commission's decision because the Project was in "violation" of the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Specifically, SAFER states that: (1) The <br />decision of the Planning Commission was in "violation" of CEQA; (2) The <br />City's determination that the Project was analyzed in the 2010 Metro East <br />Resolution No. 2023-081 <br />Page 1 of 9 <br />
