The City Council of the City of Santa Ana does hereby find, determine and declare as follows: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002-04 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana to amend the Specific Development Plan No. 4 (SD-4) to eliminate attached dwellings and condominiums as a permitted use; to allow churches, community centers, and wireless communication facilities as a conditionally permitted use; to increase the height limit and to allow seven dwelling units per net acre of land within SD-4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing on September 23, 2002, on Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002-04 and determined by a vote of 6:0 (Richardson absent) to recommend that the City Council adopt Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002-04. The deletion of the cluster and condominium housing will result in a product that is consistent with the general plan designation of Iow density residential. The inclusion of churches and wireless facilities as a conditionally permitted use would allow the development of services that are in demand in the area. Both of these uses would be conditioned to reduce adverse impacts such as traffic and aesthetics to surrounding properties. An increase in the allowable height would allow the cathedral the ability to incorporate various design features that are consistent with prominent religious structures.
