Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -08 May 11, 2015 Page 3 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 trade school 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. Parking for trade school is one space per every 40 square feet of classroom floor area. A total of 94 spaces are required and 145 spaces will be provided for the site. 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 trade school 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, including both the adjacent industrial and residential neighborhoods. This project will provide a use that will assist in diversifying the range of services available to residents of Santa Ana. The proposed Summit College /trade school will provide a service to the community. The proposed trade school is a use that will support the adjacent industrial and residential uses in the area and will assist in diversifying the range of educational opportunities available to those working or residing in the city. Further, the proposed trade school is best suited within a larger industrial building that is typically found in the City's industrial zoning districts. • The proposed Summit College /trade school will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity because the trade school 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. 31A-5
