The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property because the proposed commercial development complies with all development standards set forth in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code including setbacks and landscaping. Lastly, a reduction of 52 required parking stalls would be offset by the sharing of parking stalls with the existing Floral Park Promenade to the north. iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. • The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City since the proposed development is designed in conformance with the C1 zoning district development standards and General Plan requirements. Policy 2.5 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan states that new development must balance the economic and fiscal benefits of commercial development with its impacts on the quality of life in the City. The reduction in the number of required parking will not negatively affect the surrounding commercial or residential properties. Section 2. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program prepared with respect to this Project. The Planning Commission has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a mitigation negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the Planning Commission finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The Planning • Commission hereby certifies and approves the mitigated negative declaration and Resolution No. 2004-31 Page 4 of 6
