Modification to CUP No. 2000 -10 October 27, 2014 Page 3 Protect Background The existing one -story AT &T facility was constructed in 2001. The facility is an unmanned telephone switching facility that is needed to provide wireless and data service to Santa Ana and adjacent areas in central Orange County. The existing facility has reached its capacity to adequately serve the area, with the proposed addition incorporating additional mechanical equipment to provide communication services to the community. It will accommodate future data and Internet demand for Santa Ana and adjacent areas in central Orange County. General Plan and Zonina Consistenc The General Plan land use designation for the site is General Commercial (GC). General Commercial land use districts are key components in the economic development of the City. They provide highly visible and accessible commercial development along the City's arterial transportation corridors and provide important neighborhood facilities and services, such as this public utility facility. The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. The zoning for the site is Arterial Commercial (C5). The project meets the City's minimum development standards for the C5 zoning district relating to site design, parking and landscaping. A public utility structure is a permitted use subject to the approval of a conditional use permit in the C5 zone. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the zoning designation. Protect Analysis Conditional use permit requests are governed by Section 41 -1338 of the SAMC. Conditional use permit requests may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established: • That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well- being of the neighborhood or community. • That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. • That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. • 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. 31A-5
