A total of 969 parking <br />spaces are required for the proposed project while only 847 parking spaces <br />are provided on-site. The applicant has applied for Minor Exception No. <br />2008-01 to allow a reduction in the required off-street parking for the <br />proposed project. Minor Exception No. 2008-01 was continued by the Zoning <br />Administrator on June 4, 2008 to allow the project to be reviewed together <br />with the conditional use permits as one complete project. <br /> <br />Analysis of the Issues <br /> <br />Trade schools are allowed within the Professional (P) zoning district <br />with an approved conditional use permit. The applicant is requesting <br />approval of the conditional use permit to allow a professional trade <br />school that primarily focuses on medical and computer training. The <br />proposed school will provide a service to residents of the City of Santa <br />Ana and surrounding communities. <br /> <br />The conditional use permit process allows the City to thoroughly review <br />the project and address potential impacts. The proposed site is <br />currently developed with a professional medical office and is surrounded <br />primarily by commercial development, with the exception of residential <br />uses to the north. The proposed professional schools will operate in a <br />manner similar to normal hours of business and shall have little impact <br />on the surrounding property owners. <br /> <br />31A-77 <br />
