Adopt a resolution approving Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program, Environmental Review No. 2018-28. 2. Adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2019-03 to change the zoning designation from Two -Family Residence (R-2) to Community Commercial (C-1). 3. Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21 as conditioned. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION On February 10, 2020, the Planning Commission voted 5:0 (Contreras -Leo and Garcia absent) to recommend that the City Council approve and adopt the mitigated negative declaration, amendment application and conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 3,045-square foot convenience store and an eight pump service station for 7-Eleven at 813 North Euclid Street (Exhibit 4). DISCUSSION Adan Madrid with ASI Development, representing 7-Eleven, Inc., is requesting approval of an Amendment Application (AA) to change the zoning of the subject site from Two -Family Residential (R-2) to Community Commercial (C-1) to facilitate the construction of a new convenience store and service station. Additionally, the request includes a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the convenience store to operate 24-hours per day, seven days per week. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for this project. Approval and adoption of the MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is required by the City Council. 75A-1 AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21: 813 North Euclid Street March 17, 2020 Page 2 Staff is recommending approval of the project to facilitate redevelopment of a vacant site with a convenience store and gas station that will be compatible with the surrounding community and generate sales tax revenue for the City. Protect Description The applicant is proposing to construct a new 3,045-square-foot 7-Eleven convenience store and service station with four fueling stations that will accommodate eight vehicles. The project also includes construction of a 1,800-square foot canopy and surface parking lot with 16 parking spaces and approximately 5,937 square feet of landscaping. Site access will be provided via two driveways, one located on Euclid Street and the other located on Hazard Avenue. The 7-Eleven convenience store is proposing to operate 24-hours per day, seven days per week. The architecture of the convenience store follows a modern contemporary style found at other 7- Eleven locations and features stone and stucco finishes, steel canopies, and trellises. The gas station canopy also features the same finishes and style. Project Analysis Amendment Application (Zone Change) The applicant is requesting approval of an AA to change the zoning of the subject property from R-2 to C-1. The zone change will allow for a convenience store (retail) and a service station and will be consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC). The existing R-2 zoning limits the use of the subject site to primarily residential uses, while the C-1 zoning will allow the retail and service station by right (Exhibit 2). The 1998 General Plan land use map designates the subject properties as GC, with the C-1 designation being a compatible zoning district with the General Plan. The GC designation applies to commercial corridors in Santa Ana, including those located along Euclid Street. The GC districts are key components in the economic development of the City and provide visible and accessible commercial developments along the City's transportation corridors. In addition, the GC land use designation is intended to provide important neighborhood facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and entertainment activities, employment, and educational uses. It is also intended to provide support facilities and services for residential areas such as office and retail, restaurants and various other services, including the proposed service station and convenience store. Conditional Use Permit for Afterhours The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP to allow the proposed convenience store to operate on a 24-hour per day, seven days per week basis, which is typical for a 7-Eleven store. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-365.5(h), retail markets having less than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of floor area which are open at any time between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m. require approval of a CUP. Should the AA be approved, a CUP for after-hours operation will be required. The purpose of regulating after-hours operations is to preserve the surrounding community characteristics and minimize any negative secondary impacts. The project site is bounded by multi- family residential to the north, a Buddhist temple and residential uses to the east, single-family and multi -family residential to the west, and a two-family residence to the south. To minimize nuisance impacts to the surrounding uses, staff has included conditions of approval that require the air/water 75A-2 AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21: 813 North Euclid Street March 17, 2020 Page 3 machine be shut-off between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. and to plant a row of Italian cypress trees along the southern perimeter of the property to provide additional screening to the residential uses (Exhibit 3). The proposed hours of operation are consistent with other convenience stores and service stations along the Euclid Street corridor. The proposed after-hours operations will provide an ancillary service to the community and individuals seeking to fuel their vehicles, have a morning coffee and/or snack, especially for those residents and commuters who wake up early for work. In addition, this promotes a balance of land uses that assist in enhancing the City's economic and fiscal viability. As conditioned, the proposed after-hours operations will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. Furthermore, the new convenience store and service station will help activate and enhance the area and will generate property and sales tax revenue for the City. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT As part of the City's permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER No. 2018-28) (Exhibit 1). Sections 15070 through 15075 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Article 6) guide the process for the preparation of a negative declaration (ND) or mitigated negative declaration (MND). The MND prepared for the project contains a project description, project location map and findings that the project with mitigation will not have a significant effect on the environment. The scope of the MND evaluates the proposed project's effects on the following resource topics: aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. The City hired a consultant to draft the MND and circulated it to all interested or required parties listed on the City's distribution list on January 6, 2020. A notice of intent to adopt was also published in the Orange County Reporter on January 6, 2020. The City circulated the draft MND for a 20-day public review between January 6, 2020 and January 26, 2020. The draft MND was available for public review at the Santa Ana City Hall, the City of Santa Ana Main Library, and on the City's webpage created for the project. This MND is intended to provide a means to receive and respond to comments pertaining to the analysis contained in the draft MND and to provide an opportunity for clarification, corrections, or minor revisions to the environmental document as needed. As a result of the environmental analysis, no areas of significant impacts were found from the construction of the proposed project. Mitigation measures have been provided to address potential environmental impacts, with a list of these mitigation measures found within the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Mitigation measures have been outlined to address potential impacts on cultural and tribal cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and transportation/traffic. 75A-3 AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21: 813 North Euclid Street March 17, 2020 Page 4 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 - Economic Development, Objective No. 2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The project will generate a combination of property tax revenue, sales tax revenue, and temporary and permanent jobs for the community. Property tax revenue will increase as the vacant lot will be redeveloped with a new convenience store and service station and the total net value of the property will also increase. According to the most recent tax roll, the property is currently valued at $1,700,000 resulting in approximately $19,128 in annual property tax. Upon completion, the property is estimated to be valued at approximately $3,500,000. The construction of the project will require that permit fees are paid to the City and there will be temporary construction jobs. According to the plan check submittal, a total of $22,000 was collected for permit fees, with the improvements estimated at approximately $606,000. Based on sales volume estimates provided by 7-Eleven, the location will provide additional sales tax revenue to the City that is estimated to be over $30,000 annually. In addition, 7-Eleven estimates 10 new job opportunities will be created at this specific location. Minh Thai Executive Director Planning and Building Agency Exhibits: 1.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Adan Madrid with ASI Development, representing 7-Eleven, Inc. ("Applicant'), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2019- 21 to allow a 7-Eleven convenience store and service station to operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week, at the property located at 813 North Euclid Street. B. Santa Ana Municipal Code ("SAMC") Section 41-365.5(h) requires approval of a conditional use permit for retail markets having less than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of floor area which are open at any time between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m. C. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, the City Council is authorized to review and approve the conditional use permit for this project as set forth by the SAMC. D. On February 10, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly -noticed public hearing for Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21 to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21, and the related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. E. On March 17, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly - noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21, and the related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. Resolution No. 2020-xx 75A-15 Page 1 of 9 F. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana considered the information and determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21, to allow extended hours of operation, have been established as required by SAMC Section 41-638: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. The proposed convenience store and service station will provide an additional amenity to individuals wishing to have an early coffee and/or meal. Allowing the store and fuel pumps to be open 24 hours per day, seven days per week, will create a one -stop shop location for residents and commuters. Additionally, the extended hours will thereby benefit the community by providing a convenience store offering service past 12:00 midnight, which is consistent with other similar uses in the City. By offering extended hours of operation, 7-Eleven will better serve the community by providing added convenience and a one -stop shopping experience. The project will redevelop a vacant site with a new convenience store with ancillary gas sales. Site improvements include enhanced landscaping, pedestrian access pathways and exterior lighting and security cameras. This will help activate and beautify the street corner. 2. 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. The proposed after-hours operations will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of those residing or working in the vicinity. Conditions have been placed on the CUP that will mitigate any negative impacts to the surrounding community. 7-Eleven is an established convenience store chain with established policies and procedures, including an employee training program focused on security, which will ensure minimal calls for service. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The approval of this application supports Policy 4.5 of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan. This policy encourages making land use decisions based not on purely Resolution No. 2020-xx 75A-16 Page 2 of 9 fiscal considerations and stresses the importance of the qualitative implications that are associated with new uses. The approval of a 24-hour operation for the convenience store at this location will positively influence the present and future economic stability of the property and will diversify the products and services offered within the general area. Further, this will allow 7-Eleven to remain competitive with similar uses in the area which offer similar goods found in convenience stores. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed after-hours conditional use permit will be in compliance with all applicable regulations of Chapter 41 of the SAMC regarding establishments that operate on a 24-hour basis. Conditions of approval have been added to ensure the project remains in compliance with all applicable code and regulations related to 24-hour operations and to mitigate any potential impacts to the general vicinity. 5. 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. The proposed project will not adversely affect the General Plan. The project is located in a General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation which allows for commercial uses such as retail, service and eating establishments. The project is consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, including the Economic Development Element, Land Use Element, and Urban Design Element. Land Use Element Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address basic community needs. Land Use Element Goal 2 promotes land uses that enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. Policy 2.8 promotes rehabilitation of commercial properties, and encourages increased levels of capital investment. The convenience store will contribute to the viability of the commercial corridor in which it is located. Policy 2.9 supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The property maintenance condition of approval will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the community. Economic Development Element Goal 2 maintains and enhances the diversity of the City's economic base. Policy 2.3 encourages the development of mutually beneficial and supportive business clusters within the community. Urban Design Element Goal 1 improves the physical appearance of the City Resolution No. 2020-xx 75A-17 Page 3 of 9 through the development of districts that project a sense of place, positive community image and quality environment.

Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21 as conditioned. Executive Summary Adan Madrid with ASI Development, representing 7-Eleven, Inc., is requesting approval of an Amendment Application (AA) to change the zoning of the property from Two -Family Residential (R- 2) to Community Commercial (C-1) to facilitate the construction of a new 3,045-square-foot convenience store (7-Eleven) and service station at 813 North Euclid Street. Additionally, the request includes approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the convenience store to operate 24- hours per day, seven days per week. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND) was prepared for this project. Approval and adoption of the MIND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is required by the City Council. Staff is recommending approval of the project to facilitate redevelopment of a vacant site with a convenience store and gas station that will be compatible with the surrounding community and generate sales tax revenue for the City. 75A-24 ER No. 2018-28, AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21 — Euclid Street 7-Eleven February 10, 2020 Page 2 Proiect Description The applicant is proposing to construct a new 3,045-square-foot 7-Eleven convenience store and service station with four fueling stations that will accommodate eight vehicles. The project also includes construction of an 1,800-square foot canopy and surface parking lot with 16 parking spaces and approximately 5,937 square feet of landscaping. Site access will be provided via two driveways, one located along Euclid Street and the other located along Hazard Avenue. The 7-Eleven convenience store is proposing to operate 24-hours per day, seven days per week.

After staff's presentation and public testimony, the Planning Commission voted to continue the item for two weeks in order for staff to provide the Commission with additional information pertaining to vehicular circulation, perimeter fencing, landscaping, lighting, and site security. The approved Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the project concludes that the project driveways would operate safely provided vehicles entering the site on Euclid Street are limited to right -in and right -out movements only. Vehicles utilizing the Hazard Avenue driveway are permitted to make both left and right turns to enter and exit the site. The TIA analysis also notes the future installation of future bikeway master plan improvements along Euclid Street and Hazard Avenue as well as project -specific off -site improvements. These improvements include removal and reconstruction of sidewalks on both streets to improve pedestrian walkability and the reconstruction of a new ramp and curve at the northwest corner to help reduce the speed of vehicles turning right from Euclid Street to Hazard Avenue. The TIA also notes Hazard Avenue will be restriped in order to provide an exclusive eastbound right -turn lane before crossing Euclid Street when headed eastbound. 75A-26 ER No. 2018-28, AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21 — Euclid Street 7-Eleven February 10, 2020 Page 4 The subject site currently provides a six-foot tall CMU perimeter wall along the east and south property lines that will be increased to seven feet in height. To address concerns raised about the perimeter wall, a condition of approval has been added requiring all new and existing walls be coated with anti -graffiti paint. The condition also notes that vines are to be planted along the length of all walls to reduce the surface available for graffiti. Additionally, the condition also requires a row of Italian cypress trees to be plated five feet of center along the southern perimeter to provide additional screening to the residential structures adjacent to the site. Furthermore, all onsite lighting will need to be reviewed and approved by the Police Department during plan check via the submittal and review of a photometric plan. All new light fixtures will be required to incorporate a deflector shield to eliminate light intrusion onto residential uses to the south and the religious use to the east. Finally, it was determined that future calls for service at the site are anticipated to be minimal and will not result in a burden on the Police Department, and that 7- Eleven is a national chain that has established systems and processes in place to address security concerns, and that because the project is not located in a high crime area, a security plan would not be needed for the project. Background The existing lot has been vacant since 1987, when the previous service station ceased and all structures and facilities were removed. Prior to the proposed development, the property was considered for a medical office building in 2015. In March 2018, the Planning Division received the current development application and has been working with the applicant to refine the site plan and building design. In accordance with the Sunshine Ordinance, the applicant held a community meeting on May 12, 2018 to review the proposed development and receive feedback from the community. One member of the public attended. There were no concerns expressed regarding the operation of the service station besides the sale of alcoholic beverages. It was noted that the sale of alcoholic beverages at this location is not allowed per the City's alcoholic beverage ordinance. Project Analysis Amendment Application (Zone Change) The applicant is requesting approval of an AA to change the zoning of the subject property from R-2 to C-1. The zone change will allow for a convenience store (retail) and a service station and will be consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC). The existing R-2 zoning limits the use of the subject site to primarily residential uses, while the C-1 zoning will allow the retail and service station by right. The 1998 General Plan land use map designates the subject properties as GC, with the C-1 designation being a compatible zoning district of the General Plan. The GC designation applies to commercial corridors in Santa Ana, including those located along Euclid Street. The GC districts are key components in the economic development of the City and provide visible and accessible 75A-27 ER No. 2018-28, AA No February 10, 2020 Page 5 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21 — Euclid Street 7-Eleven commercial developments along the City's transportation corridors. In addition, the GC land use designation is intended to provide important neighborhood facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and entertainment activities, employment and educational uses. It is also intended to provide support facilities and services for residential areas such as office and retail, restaurants and various other services, including the proposed service station and convenience store. Conditional Use Permit for After-hours Operation The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP to allow the proposed convenience store to operate on a 24-hour per day, seven days per week basis, which is typical for a 7-Eleven store. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-365.5(h), retail markets having less than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of floor area which are open at anytime between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m. require approval of a CUP. Should the AA be approved, a CUP for after-hours operation will be required. The purpose of regulating after-hours operations is to preserve the surrounding community characteristics and minimize any negative secondary impacts. The project site is bounded by multi- family residential to the north, a Buddhist temple and residential uses to the east, single-family and multi -family residential to the west, and a two-family residence to the south. To minimize nuisance impacts to the surrounding uses, staff is recommending that the air/water machine be shut-off between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., which is also added as a condition of approval for the after-hours CUP. The proposed hours of operation are consistent with other convenience stores and service stations along Euclid Street. The proposed after-hours operations will provide an ancillary service to the community and individuals seeking to have a morning coffee and/or snack, especially for those residents and commuters who wake up early for work. In addition, this promotes a balance of land uses that assist in enhancing the City's economic and fiscal viability. As conditioned, the proposed after-hours operations will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. Furthermore, the new convenience store and service station will help activate and enhance the area and will generate property and sales tax revenue for the City. Table 3: Police Department Analysis and Criteria for Recommendation x,�s> t ` � hoficeDe ar�rltentAn I�t aandCnterrafor �� �' Recomrr�ehdat�on � p �ysS a �, Police Grid No., Rank, Police Grid No. 25; ranked 59 out of 102 Police Reporting Grids�(57th percentile); 252 and Incidents incidents (376 average incidents in Citywide police rids Threshold for High 539 incidents = 20% threshold; This reporting district is below the 20 percent Crime threshold established by the State for high crime. The Police Department contends that the operational standards applicable to after - Police Department hours operation will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community and Recommendation therefore does not oppose the granting of a CUP. The Police Department reviews conditional use permit applications for after-hours operation in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with 24-hour operations are 75A-28 ER No. 2018-28, AA No. 2019-03, CUP No. 2019-21 — Euclid Street 7-Eleven February 10, 2020 Page 6 mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The Police Department has reviewed this application and has no objection granting the CUP for after-hours operation. The subject site is not located in the highest percentile for crime and through the review of calls for service in the last 365 days, the site has only received two calls, both of which were related to transient activity. In addition, the calls for service are not reflective of the proposed business or operations as the site is currently vacant. Based on available crime statistics for this location, the site is not located within an area considered to be high in crime. The Police Department requires standard preventive measures for crime deterring to be established in sites such as this one. The items required by the Police Department include access to a closed circuit television system for the inside and outside of the store and site, door markers, timed -access cash vaults, appropriate interior and exterior lighting levels, and un- obstructed glass at the storefront. The Police Department contends that these standard preventive measures, and the location being outside of a high crime area, will provide adequate security measures. Finally, the CUP will be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and services. The 7-Eleven service station and convenience store will provide a one -stop shop option for late -night or early morning needs for Santa Ana residents and visitors. Furthermore, Policy 2.9 of the Land Use Element supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The conditions of approval for this CUP will maintain a safe and attractive environment in the neighborhood. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element encourages development that is compatible with and supporting of surrounding land uses. The 7-Eleven service station and convenience store is located on a major arterial thoroughfare and its operations will be compatible with other commercial uses in the near vicinity.

Sunshine Meeting A Sunshine Ordinance Community Meeting was held on Saturday May 12, 2018 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Salgado Center (706 N. Newhope Street) in accordance with the provisions of the City's Sunshine Ordinance. One member of the public attended. The applicant provided all the required information to the City after the meeting (Exhibit 11). The Riverview West Neighborhood Association was contacted to identify any areas of Additional Measures concern due to the proposed project. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed project. As part of the City's permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (ER No. 2018-28). Sections 15070 through 15075 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Article 6) guide the process for the preparation of a negative declaration (ND) or mitigated negative declaration (MND). The MND prepared for the project, as required by CEQA, contains a project description, project location map and findings that the project with mitigation will not have a significant effect on the environment. A copy of the initial study and mitigation measures to avoid potentially significant effects has been prepared (Exhibit 12). The scope of the MND evaluates the proposed project's effects on the following resource topics: aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems. The City hired a consultant to prepare a draft MND and circulated it to all interested or required parties listed on the City's distribution list on January 6, 2020. A notice of intent to adopt was also published in the Orange County Reporter on January 6, 2020. The City circulated the draft MND for a 20-day public review between January 6, 2020 and January 26, 2020. The draft MND was available for public review at the Santa Ana City Hall, the City of Santa Ana Main Library, and on the City's webpage created for the project.

Mitigation measures have been provided to address potential environmental impacts, with a list of these mitigation measures found within the attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Mitigation measures have been outlined to address potential impacts on cultural and tribal cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and transportation/traffic. Economic Development The project will generate a combination of property tax revenue, sales tax revenue, temporary and permanent jobs for the community. Property tax revenue will increase as the vacant lot will be redeveloped with a new convenience store and service station and the total net value of the property will also increase. According to the most recent tax roll, the property is currently valued at $1,700,000 resulting in approximately $19,128 in annual property tax. Upon completion, the property is estimated to be valued at approximately $3,500,000. The construction of the project will require that permit fees are paid to the City and there will be temporary construction jobs. According to the plan check submittal, a total of $22,000 was collected for permit fees, with the improvements estimated at approximately $606,000. Based on sales volume estimates provided by 7-Eleven, the location will provide additional sales tax revenue to the City that is estimated to be over $30,000 annually. In addition, 7-Eleven estimates 10 new job opportunities will be created at this specific location. Strategic Plan Alignment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 Economic Development, Objective No. 2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve ER No. 2018-28, AA No. 2019-03 and CUP No. 2019-21 as conditioned.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Adan Madrid with ASI Development, representing 7-Eleven, Inc. ("Applicant'), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2019- 21 to allow a 7-Eleven convenience store and service station to operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week, at the property located at 813 North Euclid Street. B. Santa Ana Municipal Code ("SAMC") Section 41-365.5(h) requires approval of a conditional use permit for retail markets having less than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of floor area which are open at any time between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m. C. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, the City Council is authorized to review and approve the conditional use permit for this project as set forth by the SAMC. D. On January 27, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly -noticed public hearing for Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21. After staff presentation and public input, the Planning Commission voted 6:0:1 (Rivera absent) to continue the item to the February 10, 2020 Planning Commission meeting in order to provide the Commission additional information pertaining to vehicle circulation, perimeter fencing, landscaping and lighting. E. On February 10, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly -noticed public hearing for Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21 to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21, and the related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred Resolution No. 2020-xx 75A-50 Page 1 of F. On March 17, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly - noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21, and the related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. G. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana considered the information and determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21, to allow extended hours of operation, have been established as required by SAMC Section 41-638: That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. The proposed convenience store and service station will provide an additional amenity to individuals wishing to have an early coffee and/or meal. Allowing the store and fuel pumps to be open 24 hours per day, seven days per week, will create a one -stop shop location for residents and commuters. Additionally, the extended hours will thereby benefit the community by providing a convenience store offering service past 12:00 midnight, which is consistent with other similar uses in the City. By offering extended hours of operation, 7-Eleven will better serve the community by providing added convenience and a one -stop shopping experience. The project will redevelop a vacant site with a new convenience store with ancillary gas sales. Site improvements include enhanced landscaping, pedestrian access pathways and exterior lighting and security cameras. This will help activate and beautify the street corner. 2. 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. The proposed after-hours operations will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of those residing or working in the vicinity. Conditions have been placed on the CUP that will mitigate any negative impacts to the surrounding community. 7-Eleven is an established convenience store chain with established policies and procedures, including an employee training program focused on security, which will ensure minimal calls for service. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. Resolution No. 2020-xx 75A-51 Page 2 of 9 The proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The approval of this application supports Policy 4.5 of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan. This policy encourages making land use decisions based not on purely fiscal considerations and stresses the importance of the qualitative implications that are associated with new uses. The approval of a 24-hour operation for the convenience store at this location will positively influence the present and future economic stability of the property and will diversify the products and services offered within the general area. Further, this will allow 7-Eleven to remain competitive with similar uses in the area which offer similar goods found in convenience stores. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The proposed after-hours conditional use permit will be in compliance with all applicable regulations of Chapter 41 of the SAMC regarding establishments that operate on a 24-hour basis. Conditions of approval have been added to ensure the project remains in compliance with all applicable code and regulations related to 24-hour operations and to mitigate any potential impacts to the general vicinity. 5. 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. The proposed project will not adversely affect the General Plan. The project is located in a General Commercial (GC) General Plan land use designation which allows for commercial uses such as retail, service and eating establishments. The project is consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, including the Economic Development Element, Land Use Element, and Urban Design Element. Land Use Element Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address basic community needs. Land Use Element Goal 2 promotes land uses that enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. Policy 2.8 promotes rehabilitation of commercial properties, and encourages increased levels of capital investment. The convenience store will contribute to the viability of the commercial corridor in which it is located. Policy 2.9 supports developments that create a business environment that is safe and attractive. The property maintenance condition of approval will maintain a safe and Resolution No. 2020-xx 75A-52 Page 3 of 9 attractive environment in the community. Economic Development Element Goal 2 maintains and enhances the diversity of the City's economic base. Policy 2.3 encourages the development of mutually beneficial and supportive business clusters within the community. Urban Design Element Goal 1 improves the physical appearance of the City through the development of districts that project a sense of place, positive community image and quality environment. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Review No. 2018-28) and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were prepared and adopted with respect to this project. Section 3. Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-21 shall not be effective unlelss and until the City Council reviews and approves Amendment Application No. 2019-03 and adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Environmental Review No. 2018-28, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. If said approvals are held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise denied, then this conditional use permit shall be null and void and have no further force and effect.

It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action. Section 5.
