The proposed <br />restaurant is a neighborhood service use that is encouraged <br />in several land use designations of the General Plan. This <br />project will result in the improvement of a vacant site that will <br />remove several undesirable elements from the property, <br />which include the elimination of the drive through window <br />service, the removal of noncompliant signage and the <br />installation of lighting that does not impact the adjacent <br />neighborhood. Further, the site will be a sit down eating <br />establishment that will provide an additional restaurant to the <br />adjacent neighborhoods as well as Santa Ana College <br />students, faculty and administration. <br />E.
