adjacent industrial uses in the area and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element. Goal 2 promotes land uses to enhance the economic and fiscal viability. In addition, Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood character and integrity as well as mitigation of developments' impacts. The proposed food truck terminal and commissary will be located in an area compatible in nature to the uses surrounding the property. The site has already provided a location for similar uses, with infrastructure already in place to provide the essential amenities for the use. Further, Policy 2.6 encourages the creation of new employment opportunities in developments which are compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed use will create additional employment opportunities inside the commissary building and food truck vendors, and will provide additional food options to residents and visitors to the City. E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15301. Class 1 exemption allows for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures and facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of the use beyond that existing at the time the lead agency's determination. The food commissary is an existing facility, requiring minor interior and exterior alterations such as plumbing and electrical improvements with no proposed building expansion. It has been found by the City's development review agencies to not create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. The food commissary and truck terminal is proposed to be located on a site that is not designated by the federal, state or local agencies to be an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. The cumulative impact of this project will not be significant as the use will be complementary to the nearby industrial uses in the area. There is no reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to the facility having the necessary infrastructure to operate the proposed use. The project is not located within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway and will not result in damage to scenic resources. The project is not located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Lastly, the project is not proposed on a site that is considered a historical resource or that is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2015-12 will be filed for this project. Resolution No. 2016-09 Page 3 of 7
