The City Council of the City of Santa Ana determines that the <br />following findings, which pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />Section 41-638, must be established in order to grant a Conditional <br />Use Permit, have not been established. <br /> <br />a. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility, which will <br /> contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or <br /> the community? <br /> <br /> i. The simultaneous use of the church and social hall for <br /> church services will not contribute to the general well <br /> being of the neighborhood as the expanded church <br /> use will further impact the on street parking problems <br /> within the surrounding residential neighborhood. <br /> ii.

This separation is to allow for the clearing <br /> of the parking lot between uses. <br /> <br /> vii. Currently even with the existing conditions, there are <br /> significant proble~ within the neighborhood due to the <br /> church use.
