Modification to CUP No. 2000 -10 October 27, 2014 Page 4 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 public utility facility meets all of the requirements specified in the Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district relating to the proposed use. The subject property is in compliance with the development standards for the C5 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 commercial and residential uses found in the area. Finally, the proposed public utility facility at this location will support several General Plan Goals and Policies and will provide a service to Santa Ana residents as well as the business community locally and regionally. The proposed public utility facility will provide a service to the community. The proposed public utility use will accommodate future telephone service demand for the adjacent residential and industrial uses in Central Orange County and will assist in diversifying the range of services available to those working or residing in the south sections of the city. Further, the proposed public utility use is best suited within a building that is typically located in the City's commercial zoning districts. The proposed public utility facility will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because the public utility facility will operate within a completely enclosed concrete block building, thereby minimizing potential impacts, such as noise, on the surrounding commercial, industrial and residential uses. Additionally, conditions of approval have been incorporated into the project approvals to minimize impacts from occurring on the premises. The proposed public utility facility will not adversely affect the economic stability of the area. The proposed public utility facility 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 accommodate the future telephone and internet demand of Central Orange County and improve the quality of communication citywide. Further, the project will identify the area as a stable location for future economic investment. The proposed public utility facility will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and provisions of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code and all other provisions that are applicable to a public utility use. 31A-6
