If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant approval of the conditional use permit. The proposed kennel meets all of the requirements specified in the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district relating to the proposed use. The subject property is in compliance with the development standards for the M -1 zone, including setbacks, landscaping and parking. Additionally, appropriate conditions of approval have been included for this project that will ensure it remains in compliance with the provisions of the zoning district and does not become an attractive nuisance or disrupt the surrounding industrial uses found in the area. The proposed kennel at this location supports several General Plan Goals and Policies, including Land Use Element Goal 1, which promotes the balance of land uses to address basic community needs; Goal 2, which promotes land uses that enhance the economic viability of the City; and, Goal 3, which aims to allow uses that preserve and improve the character and Integrity of neighborhoods. This project will provide a use that will assist in diversifying the range of services available to residents of Santa Ana. The Buff Dog Kennel will provide a service that will contribute to the general well -being of the community. The proposed dog kennel will contribute to the well -being of the community by assisting in diversifying the range of services available to residents, especially those residing in the south and west sections of the City. Further, the proposed kennel is best suited within a larger building that is typically found in the City's industrial zoning districts. The proposed Buff Dog Kennel will not be detrimental to those working in the area as the kennel will operate within a completely enclosed building, thereby minimizing potential impacts such as noise on the surrounding tenants. Conditions of approval have been incorporated into the project approvals that will minimize impacts to the surrounding industrial properties. The expansion project will not adversely affect the economic viability of the area. The proposed dog kennel will result in a positive addition to the surrounding area and will complement and improve the economic viability of the area as the use will reoccupy a vacant industrial building, thereby reducing the vacancy rate of the area and identifying the area as a stable location for economic investment. The proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable provisions of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and all other provisions that are applicable to a kennel use. 31 E -5
