Approval of the zone change will allow Templo Calvario the ability to continue to operate and expand within the City and continue to provide much needed community services. In addition, the creation of the SD supports the General Plan policy of preserving industrial zoned land by retaining the existing Ml land uses throughout the remainder of the city (Exhibit 8). Conditional Use Permit As drafted, Specific Development Plan No. 82 zoning standards will require a conditional use permit to operate a church use. The purpose of the conditional use permit is to allow a review of the project to ensure it is compatible with the surrounding uses. Further, the conditional use permit enables staff to place conditions on the project to mitigate any potential impacts associated with the church use. The church facility will provide a community service and will allow the church to continue the ministries that contribute to the long-term benefit of the neighborhood. Conditions of approval have been developed to mitigate potential impacts of the proposed project. Parking impacts will be mitigated through the approval of a parking agreement with the Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) to allow the church to park on adjacent school district property. Further, a parking management plan will be implemented to control church parking within the Fairview Business Park parking lot and off -site parking areas. Finally, the placement of the building near Fifth Street also minimizes any potential visual intrusion of the buildings to the nearby residences. The project, as conditioned, will not create adverse impacts or be detrimental to the overall site or neighborhood. Site improvements will be made to improve the site and mitigate parking, noise, safety and design concerns. The proposed church will not adversely affect the present and future economic stability of properties in the surrounding area since the church has owned and occupied the buildings for several years.
