The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: Vesting Parcel Map No. 99-224 and General Plan Amendment No. 00-08 have been filed with the City of Santa Ana by Mr. Thomas Ewing to subdivide a 15.95 acre parcel of land located north of Gary Avenue, south of Segerstrom Avenue and east of the Santa Ana River into two (2) parcels, and to amend the City's General Plan land use element designation of the property, currently Industrial, to allow a slight increase in the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for one of the two parcels. A related Amendment Application is also pending. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public headng on this matter, a at its regular meeting of January 22, 2001. At the conclusion of its consideration, the Planning Commission voted unanimously 7:0 to recommend that the City Council adopt this resolution. This Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, has held a duly noticed public hearing, on Amendment Application No. 00-17. The two buildings on the site do not exceed the maximum FAR. However, once subdivided, the FAR for the existing building on Parcel One will be 0.47, which slightly exceeds the current FAR of 0.45. Granting the application for a general plan amendment would be consistent with the goals of the land use element to support and maintain a strong industrial base and promote land uses that enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability. Resolution No. 2001-014 Page 1 of 4 The site is physically suitable for the density of the project given that this is a large vacant area with development consistent with the general plan, and the proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage, waste water quality problems or serious public health problems. Finally, the proposed subdivision of the property into two parcels will not conflict with existing public easements. The City Council incorporates by this reference, as though fully set forth, the facts and findings set forth in the Request For Council Action, the accompanying environmental review, and the administrative record before the City Council. Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the initial study and the negative declaration for ER No. 99-06 prepared with respect to this Project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration, and the evidence presented at the headngs on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Declaration adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative declaration and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. Pursuant to Title XIV, Califomia Code of Regulations ("CCR") § 735.5(c)(1), the City Council has further determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed Project will have the potential for any adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and Game Code § 711.2 and Title XlV, CCR § 735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. Section 3. The floor area ratio of the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana is hereby amended from 0.45 to 0.47 in order to allow the industrial building located on Parcel One to exceed the allowable floor area ratio. Section 4. Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 99-224 is hereby approved, subject to the conditions attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The Council finds and determines that approval of this vesting pamel map is consistent with the City's General Plan. Section 5.
