EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Horacio Perez, representing Adolfo Vargas (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Site Plan Review (SPR) No. 2022-04 in order to allow a major residential addition and exterior alterations to an existing single-family home and accessory dwelling unit (ADU), as well as a new two-car, detached garage, for the property addressed as 922 and 922 ½ South Birch Street. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-593.4, Heninger Park Specific Development (SD-40) zoning designation, and the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines (HPADG), Planning Commission approval is required for major residential additions and new accessory structures. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request based on the fact that the proposed additions, exterior alterations, and garage have been designed to comply with the HPADG and SD-40 design and development standards. Moreover, staff is recommending approval because the addition and garage will be architecturally compatible with the neighborhood and consistent with the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines (SACDG). DISCUSSION Project Description The existing single-story, 797-square-foot single-family residence is proposed to be expanded by approximately 749 square feet in order to accommodate a larger living room area, larger bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry area. The overall bedroom count would remain the same at two bedrooms. To accommodate the additional square footage, the existing residence will be expanded approximatley 24 feet towards the front (east) elevation and approximately four feet towards the south elevation. The residence would also be improved with a new front porch (176 square feet), a new back porch (136 square feet), and a new pergola cover (188 square feet) along the side yard area. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 1 – 1 SPR 2022-04 – 922 and 922 ½ S. Birch Street October 10, 2022 Page 2 2 9 7 1 The overall scope of work includes reconstructing and expanding an existing 372- square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) by approximately 464 square feet to accommodate two bedrooms, and a larger living room, bathroom, and kitchen. The modified ADU will be reconstructed to meet current ADU setback requirements, with a minimum side yard setback of five feet. In addition, the applicant proposes to construct a new detached two-car garage, 440 square feet in size, to be located towards the rear of the property, adjacent to an existing rear alley. Lastly, the site would be improved by the removing existing chain-link fencing, the demolition of an existing patio cover and shed, demolition of existing laundry room, and by the installation of new landscaping, to include new turf, trees, and shrubs. The overall architectural style is also proposed to be altered to be consistent with the new residential addition, which is proposed to be designed in a Craftsman architectural style. The new residential design would feature a low pitched, front-gabled roof design with a full-width, broad front entry porch with battered (tapered) supports/columns with masonry siding. The roof is proposed to be clad in composition asphalt shingles while the rest of the residence is proposed to be clad in a combination of wood lap siding and wood shingle exteriors at the gable-ends. The residence would feature broad, open eaves, decorative attic vents, and exposed structural members such as rafter tails and knee braces. Two large fixed wood windows and a single-hung window would define the front (east) elevation. Along the north, south, and west elevation the residence would feature a combination of single-hung and fixed wood windows. All the proposed windows feature divided lights, decorative wood trim, and extended lintels. The proposed ADU addition and detached garage would feature the same siding and design as the residence, including composition roof, wood lap siding, wood shingle, decorative attic vents, and wood windows.

In 2006, SD-40 was amended by the Santa Ana City Council (Ordinance No. NS-2711) to codify the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines (HPADG), to expedite and facilitate the review of projects, and to perform general clean ups of SD-40. The SD-40 zoning ordinance was intended to be a separate document that establishes standards for design review, rehabilitation, and development of the Heninger Park neighborhood. The information contained within the document identified specific standards for, but not limited to, setbacks, lot size, and street frontage. Additionally, SD-40 requires all exterior work to conform to City Council approved HPADG and/or SACDG. The subject property was built circa 1912 in a Craftsman/California bungalow architectural style. It exhibits features of the architectural style such as a bell-cast front facing gable roof, a full-width shed style porch, square posts supporting the porch roof, and a fenestration pattern or arrangement of windows that include sets of four wood single- paned casement windows along all the elevations. In 1920, the owner at the time constructed a detached garage adjacent to the rear alley in addition to an accessory structure. The same detached garage was demolished in 1975 and the accessory structure was converted into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and addressed ass 922 ½ S. Birch Street. Since then, the property has only undergone maintenance repairs (e.g. reroof). Analysis of the Issues The project site is located within the boundaries of the Heninger Park neighborhood and SD-40. As detailed in SD-40 and HPADG, all new construction is subject to Planning Commission site plan review process as outlined in the SAMC Section 41-593.4. In 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 1 – 3 SPR 2022-04 – 922 and 922 ½ S. Birch Street October 10, 2022 Page 4 2 9 7 1 addition, Planning Commission approval is required for all construction of new residential units, residential additions, and new accessory structures. In addition, SD-40 requires that major modifications be reviewed by the Heninger Park Architectural Review Committee (HPARC) for compliance with the HPADG. Pursuant to the HPADG, all projects must adopt one of the historical architectural styles identified. The HPADG apply to all new infill development projects and all properties within Heninger Park that have been determined to be eligible or are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”). These properties are listed in Appendix A of the HPADG. Moreover, SD-40 and the HPADG note that properties not listed on the Register or identified in Appendix A of the HPADG are subject to review of the Planning Commission for conformance with the City of Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines (SACDG). The subject property is neither listed nor eligible for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, pursuant to Appendix A of the HPADG. Therefore, planning staff reviewed the project for compliance with the SACDG and SD-40 development standards. As illustrated in Table 2, the project meets all required SD-40 development standards, including but not limited to, lot coverage, height, and setbacks. In addition, the applicant has adopted an architectural design identified as appropriate within both the HPADG and the SACDG (i.e., Craftsman architectural style). As required by Chapter 6 (Residential Guidelines) of the SACDG, the modifications and detached garage are proposed to be compatible in size, scale, massing, and design to the nearby homes and neighborhood. The proposed work maintains architectural standards compatible with the existing architectural character of the Heninger Park neighborhood, and is designed to include architecturally appropriate exterior materials, gable treatments, and architectural massing consistent with existing neighborhood fabric and architectural styles found in the area. The overall features and materials would be architecturally compatible with the SACDG, as they include high quality materials that will ensure that the residence ages well for the duration of the building’s lifetime. Staff notes that the HPARC has reviewed the proposed design and materials for the proposed work and submitted comments expressing their recommendation for the applicant to maintain the existing front façade (Exhibit 5). However, the property was not identified as potentially eligible in the HPADG. Moreover, the property does not appear eligible for listing due to alterations that have compromised its character-defining features. In addition, the applicant expressed a need and desire to continue with the design as proposed. Therefore, staff worked with the applicant to ensure that allowable modifications were consistent and compatible with the neighborhood, as required by the applicable SACDG. In addition, although not required, staff requested that the applicant design the proposed modifications to be consistent with the allowable architectural styles in the HPADG. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 1 – 4 SPR 2022-04 – 922 and 922 ½ S. Birch Street October 10, 2022 Page 5 2 9 7 1 Public Notification and Community Outreach Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius mop, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 6. In addition to these measures, representatives of the Heninger Park Neighborhood Association were contacted to identify any areas of concern due to the proposed request. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed applications. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1/Existing Facilities). The project consists of additions to two existing structures resulting in an increase of no more than 10,000 sq. ft. Moreover, the project is an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for the maximum development permissible in the General Plan, and the area in which the project is located is not considered environmentally sensitive. Based on this analysis, Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-85 will be filed for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Horacio Perez, representing Adolfo Vargas (Property Owner), is requesting approval of Site Plan Review (SPR) No. 2022-04 in order to allow a major residential addition and exterior alterations to an existing single-family home and accessory dwelling unit (ADU), as well as a new two-car, detached garage, for the property addressed as 922 and 922 ½ South Birch Street, within the Heninger Park Specific Development (SD-40). B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-593.3, any use or development of property within an SD district shall be in compliance with the ordinance adopting the specific development plan for such property. C. SAMC Section 41-593.4 requires a review by the Planning Commission of all plans for the purpose of ensuring that buildings, structures, and grounds will be in keeping with the given neighborhood and will not be detrimental to the harmonious development of the City or impair the desirability of investment or occupation in that given neighborhood. D. The General Provisions of the Heninger Park Specific Development (SD- 40) require Planning Commission review through the Site Plan Review process for all new construction within the area defined as SD-40. Moreover, the codified Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines requires Planning Commission review and approval for all construction of new residential units, residential additions, and new accessory structures. E. The Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines apply to all new infill development projects and all properties within Heninger Park that have been determined to be eligible or are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”). These properties are listed in Appendix A of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 1 – 23 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 5 F. SD-40 and the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines note that properties not listed on the Register or identified in Appendix A of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines are subject to review of the Planning Commission for conformance with the City of Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines. G. The subject property is neither listed nor eligible for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, pursuant to Appendix A of the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines. Therefore, planning staff reviewed the project for compliance with the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines and SD-40 development standards. H. On October 10, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on SPR No. 2022-04. I. The Planning Commission, after considering all of the evidence submitted, finds and determines that the project is in substantial compliance with applicable development standards outlined within the Specific Development Plan No. 40 (SD-40) zoning district and the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines. Specifically, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed residence would meet all required SD-40 development standards, including but not limited to, lot coverage, height, and setbacks. In addition, the residential addition and alterations are designed in an architectural design identified as appropriate within the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines and the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines (i.e., Craftsman architectural style). The modifications and detached garage are proposed to be compatible in size, scale, massing, and design to the nearby homes and neighborhood. The proposed work maintains architectural standards compatible with the existing architectural character of the Heninger Park neighborhood, and is designed to include architecturally appropriate exterior materials, gable treatments, and architectural massing consistent with existing neighborhood fabric and architectural styles found in the area. The overall features and materials would be architecturally compatible with the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines, as they include high quality materials that will ensure that the residence ages well for the duration of the building’s lifetime. Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1/Existing Facilities). The project consists of additions to two existing structures resulting in an increase of no more than 10,000 square feet. Moreover, the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for the maximum development permissible in the General Plan, and the area in which the project is located is not considered environmentally sensitive. Based on this analysis, Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-85 will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 1 – 24 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 5 lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M.

Recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2022-01. 2. Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rob Mitchell (Applicant), representing Greenlaw Partners (Property Owner), is requesting approval of two entitlements for the Garry Avenue Business Park, a 91,500-square foot industrial structure proposed at 1700, 1720, and 1740 East Garry Avenue. Specifically, the applicant is requesting approval an Amendment Application (AA) to change the property’s zoning district from Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1), and a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow distribution uses. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request as the project has been designed to minimize impacts onto surrounding properties, will satisfy a growing need for warehousing and distribution services in the region, and will provide investment in an existing industrial/office area of the City. Prior Planning Commission Action At its regular meeting on August 22, 2022, the Planning Commission received a report and staff presentation, and public comments, on the subject application. During the public hearing, representatives of the adjacent property at 1800 and 1820 East Garry Avenue spoke in opposition to the project, raising concerns about the potential impacts of truck traffic between the two properties. To provide the applicant sufficient time to propose solutions limiting truck traffic between the two properties, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to continue the item to the regular meeting on September 26, 2022. On September 26, 2022, the Planning Commission continued the item to a regular meeting on October 10, 2022. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 1 Garry Avenue Business Park at 1700, 1720, and 1740 E. Garry Avenue October 10, 2022 Page 2 2 8 7 1 The applicant is proposing to install two height-restriction bars on the project site to restrict truck movements to the west side of the property, thereby eliminating truck traffic on the east side and adjacent to the property at 1800 and 1820 East Garry Avenue. The bars will be installed at the entrance to the eastern driveway and at the southeast portion of the site to ensure trucks circulate away from the adjacent properties. The updated site plan and information on the height-restriction bars are illustrated on Exhibit 4 of this report.

Garry Avenue October 10, 2022 Page 3 2 8 7 1 In addition to the new structure, the site will be improved with new landscaping, paving, onsite parking, and improvements to the public right-of-way. The improvements include onsite landscaping and a landscape edge along the SR-55 Freeway that takes into account the freeway’s future widening, scheduled to begin in 2022. In addition, the project site will provide 145 onsite parking spaces, an onsite employee amenity area, enhanced paving at driveway entrances, new curb and gutter, street lights, and paving along the project frontage on Garry Avenue. Although not required, the project will provide an onsite walkway for pedestrians along the project frontage. The design of the structure is contemporary, with exterior finishes that would enhance the building’s presence along the SR-55 Freeway. The building will contain a mixture of materials, including performance vision glass, metal awnings, and concrete panels painted in white, various shades of tan and brown, and soft green hues. The building’s elevations have been designed to allow for placement of future wall signage to ensure compliance with applicable Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requirements.

The site plan, as designed, would continue to meet development standard of the M-1 zone if Caltrans builds the Alton Avenue bridge over the SR-55 Freeway by providing a solid screen wall with 10-foot wide landscape buffer along the freeway, which will allow for mature trees, shrubs, and groundcover to be maintained long-term along the westerly (freeway- adjacent) property line. Lastly, the project site is in an area identified by the General Plan for industrial uses, pursuant to the Industrial/FLEX land use designation. Vehicles and trucks entering and departing from the project site will not travel through any neighborhoods containing sensitive land uses, such as residences, schools, or parks. The new General Plan also designates surrounding properties Industrial/FLEX, and Garry Avenue and Pullman Street provide direct access to the SR-55 Freeway by way of the Dyer Road interchange, a driving distance of half a mile (0.50 miles). Amendment Application The subject site is zoned Professional (P). The development standards pertaining to the Professional zoning district would render the project unfeasible, as warehousing and distribution uses are prohibited by the P zoning district. Approval of an amendment application to change the zoning district to Light Industrial (M1) is required for the project. The General Plan identifies on Table LU-A-1 that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The project has been designed to conform to all applicable standards of the M1 zoning district. Although warehousing uses are permitted by-right in the M1 zoning district, distribution uses require approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. The zoning district designation of M1 enables the applicant to submit the required CUP application for consideration by the Planning Commission to permit or conditionally permit the proposed distribution use. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 4 Garry Avenue Business Park at 1700, 1720, and 1740 E. Garry Avenue October 10, 2022 Page 5 2 8 7 1 Moreover, the proposed M1 zoning district designation is consistent with the new Industrial/FLEX General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site. This land use designation by the General Plan encourages developments that provide context appropriate development in areas with existing industrial uses. The building has been designed to feature taller height and contemporary finishes to ensure it remains aesthetically compatible with the surrounding area, even as adjacent properties may redevelop with new industrial or mixed-use office, industrial, and/or research and development uses. Conditional Use Permit CUP requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. CUPs may be granted when it can be shown that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the CUP. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. To operate a warehouse and distribution facility, the project requires approval of a CUP pursuant to Section 41-472 (i) of the SAMC. Approval of the CUP would be consistent with the General Plan and would not be injurious or detrimental to surrounding properties. As analyzed in previous sections of this report, the development has been designed to minimize impacts onto surrounding properties and comply with all applicable development standards for the M1 zoning district. In addition, the project site is located within an area that is not near sensitive land uses such as residential neighborhoods, schools, or parks. Moreover, access to the SR-55 Freeway is provided at the Dyer Road interchange, by way of Garry Avenue and Pullman Street, a distance of less than 0.50 driving miles. Lastly, the loading docks have been positioned at the south of the building in order to minimize noise and aesthetic impacts onto surrounding properties. Approval of the CUP and amendment application would also be consistent with various goals and policies of the General Plan as follow: •Goal LU-2: Land Use Needs – Provide a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. o Policy LU- 2.1 Employment Opportunities – Provide a broad spectrum of land uses and development that offer employment opportunities for current and future Santa Ana residents. o Policy LU-2.6 Encourage Investment – Promote rehabilitation of properties and encourage increased levels of capital investment to create a safe and attractive environment. o Policy LU-2.7 Business Incubator. Support land use decisions that encourage the creation, development, and retention of businesses in Santa Ana. •Goal LU-3: Compatibility of Uses – Preserve and improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods and districts. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 5 Garry Avenue Business Park at 1700, 1720, and 1740 E. Garry Avenue October 10, 2022 Page 6 2 8 7 1 o Policy LU-3.4 Compatible Development – Ensure that the scale and massing of new development is compatible and harmonious with the surrounding built environment. o Policy LU-3.7 Attractive Environment – Promote a clean, safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana’s residents, workers, and visitors. o Policy LU-3.8 Sensitive Receptors – Avoid the development of industry and sensitive receptors in close proximity to each other that could pose a hazard to human health and safety due to the quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics of the hazardous materials utilized, or the hazardous waste an operation may generate or emit. •Lastly, the amendment application is consistent with the General Plan Appendix A, Table LU-A-2. Interim Industrial Flex Uses for the M-1 that allows warehousing. Conditions of approval address construction-related and ongoing operational impacts that could result from the project, including the requirement to install the height-restriction bars limiting truck traffic described in the Executive Summary portion of this report. Those conditions are attached as Exhibit A to the CUP resolution. Public Notification and Community Outreach Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 12. There are no established Neighborhood Associations in the vicinity as the property is surrounded by industrial and office uses within the 1,000-foot radius. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed CUP. In addition to the standard notification requirements, the project is subject to community engagement requirements of the Sunshine Ordinance (SAMC Sec. 2-153). At the time the application was submitted, the Sunshine Ordinance required only one community meeting; however, the applicant held two communities in order to provide ample public input opportunities to surrounding property owners. Both meetings were conducted virtually due to the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic at the time. The first community meeting was held July 8, 2021. Ten members of the community attended and posted questions relating to construction impacts and the site plan design. Because of this meeting, the original site plan was rotated 90 degrees clockwise to orient the loading docks from facing east to facing south, to minimize impacts onto properties to the north and east of the site. The second community meeting was held October 5, 2021, during which 11 members of the community attended and expressed satisfaction with the revised site plan and posed questions about traffic control, site screening, and construction impacts. Materials from both community meetings are included with this report as Exhibit 11, and all materials were published to the project’s webpage on the City’s website at santa-ana.org/garry-avenue-business-park. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 6 Garry Avenue Business Park at 1700, 1720, and 1740 E. Garry Avenue October 10, 2022 Page 7 2 8 7 1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines. This type of exemption analysis evaluates whether the potential environmental impacts of the proposed demolition of three office buildings, which total 105,558 square feet, and construction of a new 91,500 square foot light industrial warehousing building that would accommodate two tenants are addressed in the City of Santa Ana General Plan Update Final Recirculated Program Environmental Impact Report (GPU EIR). As set forth in California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21083.3 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, projects that are “consistent with the development density established by the existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site” (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(a) and PRC Section 21083.3(b)). The State CEQA Guidelines further state that “[i]f an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards […] then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact” (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(c)).” The GPU was adopted, and the GPU EIR certified, in April 2022 (State Clearinghouse Number 2020029087); the GPU went into effect on May 26, 2022. Any decision by the City affecting land use and development must be consistent with the GPU. The GPU EIR evaluates the potential environmental effects associated with implementation of the GPU and addresses appropriate and feasible mitigation measures that would minimize or eliminate these impacts. A project is consistent with the GPU if the development density does not exceed what was contemplated and analyzed for the parcel(s) in the certified GPU EIR and complies with the associated standards applicable to that development density (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(i)(2)). Development density standards can include the number of dwelling units per acre, the number of people in a given area, floor area ratio (FAR), and other measures of building intensity, building height, size limitations, and use restrictions. The GPU identifies that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The M1 zone provides for a variety of light industrial uses, including warehousing, manufacture, assembly, machine shops, wholesale businesses. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is within the projections of the GPU EIR, which evaluated a density of 3.0 FAR on the site. The GPU EIR adequately anticipated and analyzed the impacts of this Project, identified applicable mitigation measures necessary to reduce impacts of the Project, and the Project implements the applicable mitigation measures. The Project, therefore, qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 2022-01 AMENDING THE ZONING MAP FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1700, 1720, AND 1740 EAST GARRY AVENUE (APN 430-171-07) FROM PROFESSIONAL (P) TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL (M1) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Rob Mitchell (“Applicant”), representing Greenlaw Partners (“Property Owner”) is requesting approval of Amendment Application (AA) No. 2022-01 to change the zoning designation of the property located at 1700, 1720, and 1740 East Garry Avenue (APN 430-171-07) from Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1) in order to facilitate construction of a new, 91,500-square foot industrial warehouse and distribution building. B. Chapter 41, Article I, Division 1, Section 41-1 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code establishes that because of the necessity of segregating the location of residences, businesses, trades and industries; regulating the use of buildings, structures, and land; and regulating the location, height, bulk and size of buildings and structures, the size of yards and open spaces, the City is divided into land-use districts of such number, shape and area as may be considered best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. The regulations are considered necessary in order to: encourage the most appropriate use of land, conserve and stabilize property value, provide adequate open spaces for light and air and to prevent and fight fires, prevent undue concentration of population, lessen congestion on streets and highways, and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people, all as part of the general plan of the City. The City of Santa Ana has adopted a zoning map which has since been amended from time to time. C. The entire Project as currently proposed entails, among other things, (1) demolition of an existing 105,558 square foot office development consisting of three buildings constructed between 1972 and 1974; (2) redevelopment of the Project Site with a 91,500-square foot warehouse and distribution building with ancillary/supportive office spaces and mezzanines, and associated site and public-right-of-way improvements; (3) approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 to allow the use of the building as a distribution center; and (4) approval of Amendment 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 9 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 2 of 6 Application No. 2022-01 to change the site’s zoning designation from Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1). D. The applicant has demonstrated compliance with all requirements of the Sunshine Ordinance codified at Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-153, including public notification and hosting of required community meetings. Materials resulting from the meetings were subsequently posted to the City’s webpage for the project. E. On August 22, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2022-01. Following information received during the public hearing, the Planning Commission continued the item to its regular meeting on September 26, 2022, after which the project was continued to its regular meeting on October 10, 2022. F. The City Council has reviewed applicable general plan policies and has determined that this proposed rezoning is consistent with the purpose of the General Plan. The General Plan identifies on Table LU-A-1 that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The subject site is designated by the General Plan Land Use Element as FLEX-3. This land use designation by the General Plan encourages developments that provide context appropriate development in areas with existing industrial uses. The building has been designed to feature taller height and contemporary finishes to ensure it remains aesthetically compatible with the surrounding area, even as adjacent properties may redevelop with new industrial or mixed-use office, industrial, and/or research and development uses. The project has been designed to conform to all applicable standards of the M1 zoning district. G. The City Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, held a duly noticed public hearing on November 1, 2022. H. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request for Council Action dated November 1, 2022, accompanying this matter. I. For the reasons contained herein, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2022-01 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. The Amendment Application consists of amendments to the Zoning Map, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the analysis performed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 10 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 3 of 6 Act (CEQA) (Environmental Review No. 2021-54). Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Project is exempt from further review. This type of exemption analysis evaluates whether the potential environmental impacts of the proposed demolition of three office buildings, which total 105,558 square feet, and construction of a new 91,500 square foot light industrial warehousing building that would accommodate two tenants, are addressed in the City of Santa Ana General Plan Update Final Recirculated Program Environmental Impact Report (GPU EIR). A rezoning that is consistent with an adopted general plan falls within this exemption. (A) As set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(a), projects that are “consistent with the development density established by the existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” The CEQA Guidelines further state that “[i]f an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards . . . then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact.” CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(c). (B) The GPU was adopted, and the GPU EIR certified, in April 2022 (State Clearinghouse Number 2020029087); the GPU went into effect on May 26, 2022. Any decision by the City affecting land use and development must be consistent with the GPU. The GPU EIR evaluates the potential environmental effects associated with implementation of the GPU and addresses appropriate and feasible mitigation measures that would minimize or eliminate these impacts. A project is consistent with the GPU if its development density is the same or less than the standard expressed for the involved parcel in the general plan for which an EIR has been certified, and the project complies with the density-related standards contained in that plan. CEQA Guidelines section 15183(i)(2). Development density standards can include the number of dwelling units per acre, the number of people in a given area, floor area ratio (FAR), and other measures of building intensity, building height, size limitations, and use restrictions. (C) The GPU identifies that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The M1 zone provides for a variety of light industrial uses, including warehousing, manufacture, assembly, machine shops, and wholesale businesses. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is within the projections of the GPU EIR, which evaluated a density of 3.0 FAR on the site. The GPU EIR adequately anticipated and analyzed the impacts of this Project and identified applicable mitigation measures necessary to reduce impacts of the Project, and the Project implements the applicable mitigation measures. (D) Specifically, the Project qualifies for the exemption because the following findings can be made: 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 11 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 4 of 6 1. The Project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is less than the maximum FAR of 3.0 allowable in the FLEX-3 designated area, which is the development density established by the GPU and analyzed in the GPU EIR. The Project site has an Interim Development Standard of M-1 (light Industrial zone). The M-1 zone does not have density requirements. 2. There are no Project specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or its site, and which the GPU EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. The subject property is similar to other properties in the area, including its land use designation and zoning. The property does not support any peculiar environmental features, and the Project would not result in any peculiar effects. In addition, as explained further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, project impacts were adequately analyzed by the GPU EIR; and as detailed in the GPU EIR, development projects pursuant to the GPU, such as the proposed Project, could result in potentially significant impacts to air quality, cultural resources, paleontological resources, noise, and tribal cultural resources. However, applicable mitigation measures specified within the GPU EIR would reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. 3. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the GPU EIR failed to evaluate. The Project is consistent with the density and use characteristics of the development considered by the GPU EIR and would represent a small part of the growth that was forecast for build-out of the GPU. The GPU EIR considered the incremental impacts of the Project, and as explained further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, no potentially significant off-site or cumulative impacts have been identified which were not previously evaluated. 4. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the GPU EIR. As explained in the prepared Exemption Checklist, no new information has been identified which would result in a determination of a more severe impact than what had been anticipated by the GPU EIR. 5. As explained in the prepared Exemption Checklist, the Project will undertake feasible mitigation measures specified in the GPU EIR. These GPU EIR mitigation measures will be undertaken through Project design, compliance with regulations and ordinances, and through the Project’s conditions of approval. (E) The Project therefore qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review as set forth in Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The full exemption analysis is provided as Exhibit 10 of the Planning Commission staff report accompanying this Ordinance. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-54 will be filed for this project. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 12 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 5 of 6 Section 4.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Rob Mitchell (“Applicant”), representing Greenlaw Partners (“Property Owner”) is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 to allow a warehouse distribution facility at the property located at 1700, 1720, and 1740 East Garry Avenue (APN 430-171-07). B. Concurrently, the Applicant is requesting approval of Amendment Application (AA) No. 2022-01 to change the zoning designation of the property from Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1) in order to facilitate construction of the subject 91,500-square foot industrial warehouse and distribution building. C. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-472.5(i), a Conditional Use Permit is required for distribution facilities in the M1 zoning district within the City of Santa Ana. D. On August 22, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 approving the establishment of a distribution facility at the subject property. Following information received during the public hearing, the Planning Commission continued the item to its regular meeting on September 26, 2022, after which the project was continued to its regular meeting on October 10, 2022. E. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant this CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41-638, have been established for Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 to allow a new warehousing and distribution facility within the M1 zoning district: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or the community. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 15 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 2 of 10 The proposed use will contribute to the general well-being of the community by providing a use that satisfies a growing demand for warehousing and distribution activities in the region, following the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The site plan and building have been designed to minimize impacts on surrounding properties and to enhance the surrounding community with a building and site that will provide elevated architecture, landscaping, site, and right-of- way improvements. 2. That the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The proposed warehouse and distribution facility at this location would not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as the subject site is located within a professional office and light industrial area and not immediately adjacent to residential uses, schools, or parks. The nearest residential property is 0.43 miles (2,290 feet) due north from the subject site, across the Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeway. In addition, the project site is located within an area that is not near sensitive land uses such as residential neighborhoods, schools, or parks. Moreover, access to the SR-55 Freeway is provided at the Dyer Road interchange, by way of Garry Avenue and Pullman Street, a driving distance of less than 0.50 miles. Moreover, the loading docks have been positioned at the south of the building in order to minimize noise and aesthetic impacts onto surrounding properties. Following public comments provided during the August 22, 2022 regular Planning Commission meeting, the applicant modified the site plan to include height-restriction bars that will prohibit truck traffic on the eastern portion of the site, thereby minimizing impacts to the adjacent properties. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. The proposed facility would be compatible with the surrounding area and will not adversely affect the economic viability in the area. The proposed use would redevelop a site containing aging office buildings with a modern warehousing and distribution facility that has been designed to minimize impacts onto surrounding land uses and to conform to all applicable development standards of the M1 zoning district. The project 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 16 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 3 of 10 site is in an area identified by the General Plan for industrial uses, pursuant to the Industrial/FLEX land use designation. Vehicles and trucks entering and departing from the project site will not travel through any neighborhoods containing sensitive land uses, such as residences, schools, or parks. The new General Plan also designates surrounding properties Industrial/FLEX, and Garry Avenue and Pullman Street provide direct access to the SR-55 Freeway by way of the Dyer Road interchange, a driving distance of half a mile (0.50 miles). 4. That the proposed use shall comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use. The use will comply with all regulations and conditions identified in Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. In addition to conforming to the development standards of the proposed M1 zoning district designation, the project and site plan have been designed to minimize impacts onto surrounding properties. Primarily, the building’s loading docks have been placed facing south toward the vacant Alton Avenue right-of-way, to minimize noise and aesthetic impacts onto adjacent, developed properties. The site plan has been designed such that should the Alton Avenue bridge over the SR-55 Freeway be constructed, the project would continue to satisfy all applicable landscape and solid screen wall requirements. As the SR-55 Freeway widening project commences in earnest in late 2022, the project will continue to be able to provide a 10-foot wide landscape buffer along the freeway, which will allow for mature trees, shrubs, and groundcover to be maintained long-term along the project site’s western (freeway-adjacent) landscape strip. 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City. The CUP would not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City. The CUP is consistent with various goals and policies of the General Plan. These include: Goal LU-1 (Growing responsibly), Policy LU-1.9 (Public facilities and infrastructure); Goal LU-2 (Land Use Needs), Policies LU- 2.1 (Employment opportunities), LU-2.6 (Encourage investment), LU-2.7 (Business incubator), and LU-2.8 (City image); Goal LU-3 (Compatibility of uses), Policies LU-3.4 (Compatible development), LU-3.7 (Attractive environment), and LU-3.8 (Sensitive receptors); and Goal LU-4 (Complete 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 17 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 4 of 10 communities), Policies LU-4.2 (Public realm) and LU-4.3 (Sustainable land use strategies). These goals and policies encourage developments that are compatible with surrounding properties, contribute to the overall development of the community, provide employment opportunities, and provide responsible developments that enhance the community. As analyzed in the Planning Commission staff report prepared for the project, the proposed warehousing and distribution facility has been designed to satisfy all applicable General Plan goals and policies. Section 2. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the analysis performed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Environmental Review No. 2021-54). Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21083.3, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Project is exempt from further review. This type of exemption analysis evaluates whether the potential environmental impacts of the proposed demolition of three office buildings, which total 105,558 square feet, and construction of a new 91,500 square foot light industrial warehousing building that would accommodate two tenants, are addressed in the City of Santa Ana General Plan Update Final Recirculated Program Environmental Impact Report (GPU EIR). A rezoning that is consistent with an adopted general plan falls within this exemption. A. As set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(a), projects that are “consistent with the development density established by the existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” The CEQA Guidelines further state that “[i]f an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards . . . then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact.” CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(c). B. The GPU was adopted, and the GPU EIR certified, in April 2022 (State Clearinghouse Number 2020029087); the GPU went into effect on May 26, 2022. Any decision by the City affecting land use and development must be consistent with the GPU. The GPU EIR evaluates the potential environmental effects associated with implementation of the GPU and addresses appropriate and feasible mitigation measures that would minimize or eliminate these impacts. A project is consistent with the GPU if its development density is the same or less than the standard expressed for the involved parcel in the general plan for which an EIR has been certified, and the project complies with the density-related standards contained in that plan. CEQA Guidelines section 15183(i)(2). Development density standards can include the number of dwelling units per acre, the number of people in a given area, floor area ratio (FAR), and other measures of building intensity, building height, size limitations, and use restrictions. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 18 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 5 of 10 C. The GPU identifies that the Interim Development Standard for the FLEX-3 area is M1. The M1 zone provides for a variety of light industrial uses, including warehousing, manufacture, assembly, machine shops, and wholesale businesses. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is within the projections of the GPU EIR, which evaluated a density of 3.0 FAR on the site. The GPU EIR adequately anticipated and analyzed the impacts of this Project and identified applicable mitigation measures necessary to reduce impacts of the Project, and the Project implements the applicable mitigation measures. D. Specifically, the Project qualifies for the exemption because the following findings can be made: 1. The Project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified. The Project would result in a FAR of 0.42, which is less than the maximum FAR of 3.0 allowable in the FLEX-3 designated area, which is the development density established by the GPU and analyzed in the GPU EIR. The Project site has an Interim Development Standard of M-1 (light Industrial zone). The M-1 zone does not have density requirements. 2. There are no Project specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or its site, and which the GPU EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. The subject property is similar to other properties in the area, including its land use designation and zoning. The property does not support any peculiar environmental features, and the Project would not result in any peculiar effects. In addition, as explained further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, Project impacts were adequately analyzed by the GPU EIR; and as detailed in the GPU EIR, development projects pursuant to the GPU, such as the proposed Project could result in potentially significant impacts to air quality, cultural resources, paleontological resources, noise, and tribal cultural resources. However, applicable mitigation measures specified within the GPU EIR would reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. 3. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the GPU EIR failed to evaluate. The Project is consistent with the density and use characteristics of the development considered by the GPU EIR and would represent a small part of the growth that was forecast for build-out of the GPU. The GPU EIR considered the incremental impacts of the Project, and as explained further in the prepared Exemption Checklist, no potentially significant off-site or cumulative impacts have been identified which were not previously evaluated. 4. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the GPU EIR. As explained in the prepared Exemption Checklist, no new information has been identified which would result in a determination of a more severe impact than what had been anticipated by the GPU EIR. 10/10/2022 Planning Commission 2 – 19 Resolution No. 2022-XXX Page 6 of 10 5. As explained in the prepared Exemption Checklist, the Project will undertake feasible mitigation measures specified in the GPU EIR. These GPU EIR mitigation measures will be undertaken through Project design, compliance with regulations and ordinances, and through the Project’s conditions of approval. E. The Project therefore qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review as set forth in Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The full exemption analysis is provided as Exhibit 10 of the Planning Commission staff report accompanying this Resolution. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-54 will be filed for this project. Section 3. Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-14 shall not become effective until the City Council adopts an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2022-01, changing the subject property’s zoning designation from Professional (P) to Light Industrial (M1), and said Amendment Application is in full force and effect. Section 4. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve 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.
