<br /> <br />Resolution No. 2025-XX <br />Page 3 of 12 <br />convenience store and service station will not generate pollution <br />that would exceed the State and/or local thresholds. <br />Moreover, the site plan was designed to avoid potential traffic <br />impacts, encourage pedestrian and bicycle safety, and <br />introduce new landscape areas to the site where feasible. <br />Additionally, the project will be conditioned to plant landscape <br />in compliance with the Citywide Design Guidelines, the Water <br />Efficiency Landscape Ordinance, and the City of Santa Ana <br />Tree Species Guide. <br />3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic <br />stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the <br />area. <br />The introduction of the service station is poised to have a <br />positive impact, safeguarding the economic stability and <br />fostering future economic development in the surrounding <br />properties. The new service station, through services, is set <br />to enrich the local landscape by providing additional services <br />to the surrounding area. This not only enhances the area's <br />amenities but also establishes a commercial business that <br />contributes to the City's revenue through generated sales tax. <br />In essence, the initiative promises to be a mutually beneficial <br />addition, reinforcing economic vitality and providing a valuable <br />resource for the community. <br />4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions <br />specified in Chapter 41 of the SAMC for such use. <br />With the exception of the minimum front landscape <br />requirement, for which the Project seeks relief through <br />Variance No. 2025-01 under concurrent review, the Project <br />meets all development standards. Specifically, the applicant <br />is requesting approval for Variance No. 2025-01 to reduce the <br />required front-yard landscaped area. The proposed use is <br />consistent with other stipulations and requirements outlined in <br />Chapter 41 of the SAMC, encompassing building heights, floor <br />area ratio, and parking provisions. As part of the conditional use <br />permit, a vital condition has been incorporated to record a <br />property maintenance agreement against the property. This <br />measure is designed to guarantee the proper upkeep of the <br />property and all associated improvements, ensuring a <br />sustained level of maintenance in accordance with approved <br />standards. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the <br />General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the <br />area of the proposed use. <br />
