<br />Resolution No. 2025-XX <br />Page 2 of 11 <br /> <br />F. On August 27, 2025, the Applicant submitted CUP No. 1982-18-MOD-1 <br />requesting approval to facilitate the construction of the new private school <br />building that will serve the middle school grades; <br /> <br />G. CUP No. 1982-18-MOD-1 constitutes a modification to the previously <br />approved CUP No. 1982-18 for the purpose of facilitating the construction <br />of a new classroom building to serve the existing private school. This <br />modification supplements, but does not supersede, the original CUP. All <br />conditions and entitlements established under CUP No. 1982 -18 shall <br />remain valid and in full effect, except as specifically amended herein to <br />reflect the scope of the proposed improvements. <br /> <br />H. On October 27, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public <br />for the Project; <br /> <br />I. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which <br />must be established in order to grant this CUP pursuant to SAMC Section <br />41-638, have been established for CUP No. 1982-18-MOD-1 to allow a <br />new private school building within the R1 zoning district as follows: <br /> <br />1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will <br />contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or the <br />community. <br />The proposed Project will provide a new two-story private <br />school building to accommodate middle school students <br />(seventh and eighth grades) within the existing Forty Martyrs <br />Armenian Church campus. This expansion will allow students <br />who are already enrolled at the school to continue their <br />education through the eighth grade without the need to <br />transfer to another institution. By retaining students and <br />extending the academic program, the Project will enhance <br />educational continuity for families, reduce the need for <br />additional school commuting outside the neighborhood, and <br />strengthen the long-term stability of the school community. As <br />such, the proposed use will provide a valuable educational <br />service and contribute positively to the general well-being of <br />the surrounding neighborhood and the broader Santa Ana <br />community. <br /> <br />2. That the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular <br />case will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare <br />of persons residing or working in the vicinity. <br /> <br />The proposed middle school building will not be detrimental to <br />the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or <br />working in the vicinity. The Project is located within an existing <br />church and school campus that has historically operated as <br />an educational facility. The proposed expansion is modest in <br />
