CUP No. 2014 -09 December 8, 2014 Page 4 • 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. 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 project will continue to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the community. The monopole currently provides a service to Santa Ana residents, businesses and motorists who subscribe to Sprint PCS's services by maintaining cellular service and data coverage for its users in the southeast sector of Santa Ana. The issuance of a new conditional use permit will allow the current facility to continue providing a service to the surrounding community. The issuance of a new conditional use permit for the existing wireless facility at this location will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the proposed facility will remain in compliance with Federal law that governs health related issues for wireless facilities, including safety regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The monopole, in conjunction with the enhanced landscaping along the project's street frontages, will be compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The stealthing provided by the monopole's location within the substation and site enhancements will maintain and increase the economic stability for this industrial corridor by providing an additional service for business owners, workers, and residents in the area. The use will continue to comply with all provisions pertaining to the construction and installation of wireless facilities identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The facility will be stealthed by the existing high - voltage transmission lines, and the site will feature new and enhanced landscaping, providing additional screening for the current use's operations, and will comply with other standards outlined in the SAMC.
