Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -12 May 26, 2015 Page 3 General Plan and Zonina Analysis The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND), which allows for a variety of industrial and industrial serving commercial uses. The proposed project its consistent with the General Plan. The subject site is located in the McFadden Place /Specific Development (SD) No. 85 zoning district. SD -85 is a zoning designation that allows industrial, commercial, and recreational uses. These uses include retail, restaurants, and indoor sports facilities subject to approval of a CUP, The project site Is consistent with this zoning designation. Project Analysis Ordinance No. NS -2776 was adopted in 2008 and added Indoor Sports Facilities as a conditionally permitted use in the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district. Prior to the adoption of this ordinance, indoor sports and recreation were combined with indoor entertainment and were only permitted in the City's commercial zones with a conditional use permit. The large space requirements necessary to operate indoor sports facilities, in combination with higher lease rates in commercial areas, resulted in a majority of indoor sports businesses not being able to locate in Santa Ana. In response to the growing demand for recreational activities and the limited park area provided within the City, the City Council amended the Municipal Code to allow indoor sports facilities within the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district subject to compliance with certain development standards and with a conditional use permit. These development standards included parking, limiting the hours of operation and limiting the number and type of uses that would be permitted under the definition of indoor sports facilities. The subject property is in compliance with the SD No. 85 development standards including landscaping and parking. Additionally, appropriate conditions of approval have been included for this project that will ensure it remains in compliance with the indoor sports facilities section of the Municipal Code and does not become an attractive nuisance or disrupt the surrounding tenants within the center. The addition of a trampoline recreation and aerobic exercise facility at this location supports several General Plan policies, which are detailed in the following section. Conditional use permits are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional use permits 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. 31 C -5
