--055 REL: ado-20 1/8/86 RESOLUTION NO. 86-_~ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 85-28 TO ALLOW EXPANSION OF A MOTEL IN THE C2 DISTRICT AT 3225 WEST FIRST STREET WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on January 6, 1986 on Conditional Use Permit No. 85-28 to allow expansion of a motel in the C2 District on property located at 3225 West First Street, which application was brought before this Council by Appeal No. 530 following its denial by the Planning Commission; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: 1. Based on the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, this Council finds and determines as follows: (a) The applicants propose the expansion of an existing 16-unit motel. At present, the motel is utilized not as a short term residential facility, but has the character and tenant occupancy of apart- ments. As such, the project does not comply with Code requirements for this type of residential use. Because the project does not function as a motel, an expansion to create more units which do not con- form to apartment standards or commercial motel standards will not be an asset to the neighborhood. (b) Expansion of the motel as it is currently operated will, under the circumstances, be detri- mental to the general welfare of persons residing in the units because they are not being afforded the full benefit of a standard residential unit. (c) The proposed expansion will impact the economic stability of the site and surrounding properties by adding to a nonconforming use which cannot meet Code requirements. The present oper- ation is not well-maintained, does not meet Code Standards and detracts from the appearance of the First Street Corridor.
