G. For these reasons, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2016-05 is hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, thus changing the zoning district is found to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15303. This Class 3 exemption allows small construction projects or buildings in urban areas up to 10,000 square feet in size, not involving the use of significant amount of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available. The cumulative impact of this project will not be significant as the use will be complimentary with the nearby commercial uses in the area. Additionally, it has been identified that the development of the site will not adversely impact the environment, any designated scenic highways, or sites which have been identified to contain hazardous waste. Additionally, it was evaluated that the proposed uses for the site are consistent with both the General Commercial (C-2) and the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning designation. The amendment application to change the existing zoning designation to the Light Industrial (M-1) zone is intended to provide consistency with the General Plan of the city. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2015-15 will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability, claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of the City of Santa Ana. Section 4. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby adopts an ordinance rezoning the real property located at 2603 South Main Street from General Commercial (C-2) to Light Industrial (M-1), (AA No. 2016-05).
