The site currently contains two buildings; a one-story, 1,190 square foot office building and a one-story, 2,330 square foot automotive repair structure. In addition, two open air canopies are located behind the two buildings. A total of 44 parking spaces are provided on-site for the development. The property is currently zoned South Main Street Commercial (C-SM) and is designated as General Commercial (GC) on the Santa Ana General Plan. Surrounding land uses include commercial uses to the north and west, commercial and residential uses to the south, and a combination of single- family and multi-family residential uses to the east (Exhibits 1 and 2).
