Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-52 January 27, 2014 Page 3 o That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. • That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. 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 proposed kennel facility will provide a service to the community. The proposed kennel is a use that will support 45 6japent industrial and residential uses in the area and will assist in diversifying the rang AA WPbs available to those working or 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 Dogtopia Kennel will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because the kennel will operate within a completely enclosed building, thereby minimizing potential impacts, such as noise, on the surrounding tenants. Additionally, conditions of approval have been incorporated into the project approvals to minimize impacts from occurring on the premises. • The proposed Dogtopia Kennel will not adversely affect the economic stability 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.
