Adopted a resolution amending Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 as conditioned. At its August 9, 2004 meeting (Exhibit A) by a vote of 5:2 (De La Torre and Sinclair opposed) . DISCUSSION On June 28, 2004, Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proj ect. After holding the public hearing, the Planning Commission expressed concerns with the size of the building, the parking reduction and the potential for significant traffic impacts. The Planning Commission continued the item for 45 days and directed the applicant to meet with staff to discuss the issues raised. 758-1 Appeal No. 2004-08 (Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 Variance No. 2004-05) October 4, 2004 Page 2 After several discussions with staff and some Planning Commissioners, the applicant proposed to (1) revise the landscaping plan to incorporate addi tional trees, (2) enhance pedestrian walkways, and (3) reduce the number of tenant spaces from four to three. This last item, reducing the number of tenant spaces from four to three, is the focus of this appeal. In proposing these changes, the applicant had hoped to address Commissioners' concerns about both aesthetic and circulation issues. Accordingly, the changes were incorporated as conditions of approval. The applicant later determined that a restriction on the number of tenant spaces would be an undue burden on its marketing and leasing efforts in the shopping center. The property owner expressed these concerns at the August 9, 2004 Planning Commission meeting, specifically requesting that the limitation on the number of tenant spaces be eliminated. In addition to discussing the marketing and leasing constraints, the applicant maintained that, pursuant to the parking study, the center would have adequate parking. The applicant further noted that the City's parking requirement is based on total building square footage rather than on the number of tenant spaces. The Planning Commission considered the testimony provided by the public and approved the Amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 and Variance No. 2004-05 as conditioned. The Commission required the reduction in the number of tenant spaces as they believed it might help to minimize circulation and parking problems. Staff believes that the effect of reducing the number of tenant spaces would be negligible. As the parking study indicates, the shopping center is expected to have sufficient parking with the proposed four tenant spaces. Staff further believes that achieving a measurable reduction in parking or traffic demand would require a significant reduction in actual square footage of the proposed commercial addition. Since the Planning Commission did not require and the applicant does not propose such a square footage reduction, and given the plausible marketing and leasing constraints, staff recommends that the City Council approve the applicant's appeal by eliminating Condition No.8 of Variance No. 2004- 05. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. s1!!::f~f:jng Executive Director Planning & Building Agency CR:rb cr\reports\cup03-17var04-05.cc-appeal Rev 758-2 KO-09/27/04 RESOLUTION NO. 2004-081 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING APPEAL NO. 2004-08, APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM, AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2003-17 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW A DRIVE- THROUGH WINDOW SERVICE AND APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 2004-05 AS CONDITIONED FOR A REDUCTION IN THE ON-SITE PARKING FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2701 NORTH BRISTOL STREET BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Applicant requested approval of Variance No. 2004-05 to allow a reduction in the off-street parking requirement and an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17, which permitted drive-through window service, for a new commercial development at 2701 North Bristol Street. B. The Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program, Environmental Review No. 2004-181, the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 and Variance No. 2004-05 came before the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on August 9, 2004. The Planning Commission voted by a vote of 5:2 (De La Torre, and Sinclair opposed) to approve and adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Monitoring Program, Environmental Review No. 2004-18, approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 and Variance No. 2004-05 as conditioned. C. Applicant appealed Planning Commission's decision, specifically objecting to Condition NO.8 of the Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17, which read, U[t]he four proposed tenant spaces shown on the southwest corner of the site plan (Exhibit 3) shall be reduced to three tenant spaces. The overall square footage may remain unchanged." 758-3 Resolution No. 2004- Page 1 of 6 D. On October 4, 2004, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing on Appeal No. 2004-08, Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17, and Variance No. 2004-05. E. The amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana seeking to allow the construction of a Starbucks with drive-through window service at 2701 North Bristol Street. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-365.5 eating establishments with drive-through window service are permitted uses subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. 1. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to grant a conditional use permit upon making certain findings. I. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community? The proposed Starbucks with drive-through window service will provide a service to the community by providing an additional restaurant opportunity in the area. Additionally, the drive-through lane will provide an added convenience to customers using the coffee house. ii. Will the proposed use 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 Starbucks coffee house will not be detrimental to persons residing and working in the area as the on-site vehicular circulation system is designed to avoid conflicts on-and off-site. A combination of berms and hedges will be provided in the front yard setback area along the Bristol Street frontage to screen the drive-through aisle and reduce glare. The on-site circulation will allow additional stacking within the site thereby avoiding impacts to Memory Lane and the vicinity. iii. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area? The proposed project complies with Policy 2.5 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as it provides 758-4 Resolution No. 2004- Page 2 of 6 the economic benefits of commercial development to the City without impacting the quality of life for surrounding residents. The Starbucks coffee house with drive-through window service will generate City tax revenue and employment in the community. The use provides services that compliment surrounding businesses and, as conditioned, will not adversely affect economic development or stability of the area. iv. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this chapter for such use. The proposed Starbucks coffee house with drive- through window service will be in compliance with the applicable sections of Chapter 41 of the Municipal Code. The use will also comply with all applicable county and state provisions, including health codes and ADA requirements. v. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City? The proposed Starbucks coffee house with drive- through window service is in an area designated General Commercial (GC) in the General Plan. The project complies with the Land Use Element and Urban Design Element of the General Plan and will not negatively affect them. Lastly, the use is consistent with the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district that allows retail and service uses. F. Variance No. 2004-05 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana seeking to allow the reduction of the off-street parking requirement by of 52 parking spaces. 1. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to grant a variance upon making certain findings. I. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at minor exception with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this Chapter. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property. The subject site is located on the northeast corner of Bristol Street and Memory Lane, 758-5 Resolution No. 2004- Page 3 of 6 which is a contained site surrounded by an existing commercial development. The number of parking spaces provided will be sufficient since the site will share parking with the Floral Park Promenade. Based on the Shared Parking Analysis, there will be sufficient parking for peak parking demand for both the new restaurant commercial development and the existing shopping center. ii. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of a variance is necessary to develop the property with a well-designed commercial development that is consistent with the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district and provides restaurant uses. Without the reduction in the required parking, the project site would not be able to support an economically viable development. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan supports commercial development that accommodates the City's needs for goods and services. iii. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property because the proposed commercial development complies with all development standards set forth in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code including setbacks and landscaping. Lastly, a reduction of 52 required parking stalls would be offset by the sharing of parking stalls with the existing Floral Park Promenade to the north. iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City since the proposed development is designed in conformance with the C1 zoning district development standards and General Plan requirements. Policy 2.5 of the Land Use 758-6 Resolution No. 2004- Page 4 of 6 Element of the General Plan states that new development must balance the economic and fiscal benefits of commercial development with its impacts on the quality of life in the City. The reduction in the number of required parking will not negatively affect the surrounding commercial or residential properties. Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program prepared with respect to this Project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a mitigation negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program 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 mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program 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, California Code of Regulations ("CCR") 9 735.5(c)(1), the City Council has 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 ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The proposed project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete, roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and Game Code 9 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR 9 735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. Section 3. The City Council after conducting the public hearing hereby approves Appeal No. 2004-08, approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 as conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein and approves Variance No. 2003- 05 as conditioned in Exhibit liB" attached hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, which includes but not is not limited to: the Request for Council Action dated October 4, 2004 and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 4. This decision rendered by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana is final and is subject to judicial review pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.6. The Clerk of the Council shall give direct notice to the applicant of the Council's decision and these findings. 758-7 Resolution No. 2004- Page 5 of 6 ADOPTED this day of APPROVED AS TO FORM: Joseph W.

DISCUSSION Request of Applicant Red Mountain Retail, Inc. is requesting approval of a variance to allow a reduction in the off-street parking requirement and an amendment to an existing conditional use permit for drive-through window service for a new commercial development at 2701 North Bristol Street. Property Description The property is located within the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district and has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC) with a floor area ratio of 0.5. Surrounding land uses include multi-family residential to the north; commercial and single- family residential to the south; multi-family and commercial to the west; and commercial, multi-family and single-family residential to the east (Exhibits 1 and 2) . EXHIBIT A 758-13 Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 Variance No. 2004-05 August 9, 2004 Page 2 The property is approximately 0.51 acres In size, rectangular in shape and currently vacant. The property is located on the northeast corner of Bristol Street and Memory Lane. Both streets are designated as arterial streets in the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Project Description The project involves the construction of a new 5,000 square foot building. Along with a Starbucks with drive-through window service, the entire building will be comprised of eating establishment uses (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5). Additionally, an outdoor seating area will be provided for Starbucks adj acent to the building along Bristol Street. Operating hours will be from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday. The drive-through lane will include one menu reader board along with a pick-up window where the food is transferred to the customers. As required by code, an 80-foot separation between the food pick-up window and the order board and another 80-foot separation between the order board and entrance to the drive-through lane have been provided. The proposed commercial development will comply with the commercial landscape standards. The proposed plant material will be of high quality and will visually enhance the development. Jacaranda, London Plane Sycamores and Date Palm trees are proposed for the site and Canary Island Pines will be included on the Floral Park Promenade landscape setback along Memory Lane (Exhibit 6). The design of the project demonstrates a high quality appearance appropriate for the use and satisfies the design standards set forth in the Urban Design Element. The building will have multi fa9ade proj ections and varying roof pitches. A three-color exterior palette along with stone veneer and concrete roof tiles will highlight the building's architecture style. A hipped roof tower located on the northwest corner of the building is proposed to mark the Starbucks entry (Exhibi ts 7). Analysis of the Issues On August 18, 2003, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 and Variance No. 2003-02 to allow a Starbucks with drive-through window service and outdoor seating area. The proj ect consisted of a 758-14 Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 Variance No. 2004-05 August 9, 2004 Page 3 three unit, 3,292 square foot retail building with 1,600 square feet dedicated to Starbucks. The remaining 1,692 square feet were intended to be leased to retail uses. A total of 24 parking stalls were required while only 22 were provided. No shared parking was proposed with the adjacent Floral Park Promenade (Exhibit 8). The original developer later sold the vacant parcel to Red Mountain Retail, Inc., the owners of the Floral Park Promenade. Red Mountain is proposing to revise the approved plans by altering the building location, increasing the amount of square footage and changing the retail uses to eating establishments. These changes require an amendment to the approved conditional use permit. In addition, the change from retail to eating establishments has created a larger parking deficit and necessitates a parking variance. Access to the project will be provided from Bristol Street and Memory Lane. The driveway entrance on Bristol Street will enter onto the Floral Park Promenade and will be shared by both developments. The driveway entrance on Memory Lane will enter directly onto the new commercial center. The shared driveway and the existing parking stalls at the Floral Park Promenade parking stalls provide an opportunity to share parking between the two developments. A total of 50 parking spaces are required for the proposed building, while only 20 parking spaces will be provided. Since parking for the project will be shared with the Floral Park Promenade to the north, a total of 370 parking stalls will be provided by both developments. Fifteen parking stalls in Floral Park Promenade will be removed in order to accommodate an integrated driveway, trash enclosure, landscape planter and loading zone. The total number of stalls required for both the new development and existing center is 422 parking stalls, which is a 12 percent reduction in required parking. To support the variance, the applicant has provided a shared parking analysis that calculates the parking demand for both developments (Exhibit 9). The shared parking analysis prepared by Austin-Foust Associates in May 2004 evaluated the supply and demand of parking using two independent methodologies. The first evaluated the parking demand using widely recognized shared parking statistics compiled by the Urban Land Institute (ULI). The second evaluated the parking demand based on field observations in December 2003, during which time all buildings on the site were occupied and uses were in operation. 758-15 Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 Variance No. 2004-05 August 9, 2004 Page 4 The ULI analysis predicts a peak parking demand of 370 spaces at 1: 00 p.m. on weekdays. The combined shopping center, with the new project, will accommodate this predicted demand. In contrast, however, the observed parking analysis predicts a substantially lower demand of 127 spaces at 4 :30 p.m. The consultant believes that the observed parking demand is lower than the ULI predicted demand because: the existing and proposed uses in the center have a higher parking turnover than typical; the center is more locally oriented in that travel patterns do not follow traditional peak hour predictions; the ULI methodology is geared to a more auto-oriented center; and, the center is patronized by pedestrians from nearby residential areas. Accordingly, the Austin- Foust Associates report found that there would be adequate parking under either scenario. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of General Commercial. A goal of the Land Use Element is to preserve and improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. The project has been designed to preserve the character of the surrounding neighborhoods and will contribute to the general well being of the community by providing food and beverage service to residents and visitors. Additionally, the project will enhance the economic stability of the area by converting a vacant site into a vital, active commercial development. On June 28, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 and Variance No. 2004-05. After receiving testimony from the public and project developer, the Planning Commission continued the item for 45 days to allow the developer time to consider revisions to the site plan. During the continuance, the applicant met with members of the Planning Commission and staff to discuss potential changes to the project. As a result of these meetings, the applicant is proposing to modify the project to allow for decorative paving/pedestrian walkways, planting two additional trees along Memory Lane, and reducing the number of tenant spaces from four to three (although the proposed square footage has not changed) . In summary, the Starbucks with drive-through window service complies with the provisions set forth in the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district and Land Use Element of the General Plan. Approval of the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 and Variance No. 2004-05 is recommended as conditioned (Exhibits 10 and 11) . 758-16 Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 Variance No. 2004-05 August 9, 2004 Page 5 CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, Environmental Review No. 2004-181 has been prepared for this project (Exhibit 12).

INe. CUP 03-17NA 04-5 EXH,IBIT 9 7~Bo!29 FLORAL PARK PROMENADE PARKING ANALYSIS Prepared by: Austin-Foust Associates, Inc. 2020 North Tustin A venue Santa Ana, California 92705-7827 (714) 667-0496 May 13, 2004 1SSfJ30 FLORAL PARK PROMENADE PARKING ANALYSIS The expansion of the Floral Park Promenade includes the construction of a 5,000 square foot building immediately adjacent to the intersection of Bristol Street and Memory Lane, The proposed project will include 1,500 square feet as a Starhucks with the remaining 3,500 square feet as other food uses, illustrated in Figure 1. A parking study is required as part of development of the project, since the proposed parking supply will theoretically be insufficient to meet the City of Santa Ana's parking code requirements for each individual use, PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Floral Park Promenade is located at the northeast corer of Bristol Street and Memory Lane in the City of Santa Ana containing a 74,704 square foot mixed-use development. The center provides 370 parking spaces to meet the parking demand for the approved uses. The following table summarizes the existing uses and the related parking. Access to the project is provided via driveway on Bristol Street and Memory Lane that allow full access movements into and out of the project site.

On that basis, this parking study analysis evaluates the project's parking requirements based on the City of Santa Ana zoning code, application of a shared parking methodology and the observed existing usage of the parking in the center as a shared parking use.

PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS To determine the number of parking spaces required to support the Floral Park Promenade expansion project, parking demand was first calculated using the City of Santa Ana zoning code. The City parking code requirements typically treat each use in the retail center as a "stand alone" use at maximum demand as opposed to an integrated part of the mixed-use center as summarized in the following table. CITY OF SANTA ANA PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS Land Use Office Retail Medical Office Restaurant Req Parking 3 spaces/IOOO SF 5 spaces/IOOO SF 6 spaces/IOOO SF IO spaces/lOOO SF Direct application of City parking codes to the Floral Park Promenade expansion project, a total of 50 parking new spaces will be required for the proposed project (Restaurant 5,000 sf x 10 spaces/lOOO sf = 50 spaces). Based on the City's parking code, 422 parking spaces would be needed to accommodate the proposed expansion. SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS According to the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Shared Parking publication, shared parking is defined as a parking space that can be used to serve two or more indi vidual land uses without conflict or encroachment. Given that restaurant/food uses have peak demand periods (afternoon and evenings) that differ from retail uses (early afternoon), it is appropriate to utilize the shared parking concept to forecast the overall parking demand for the site. The ULI Shared Parking publication provides hourly parking accumulation rates for uses expressed as a percentage of the peak demand for that use for the day. Retail uses have a peak demand during the 12:00-2:00 PM period on weekdays and between 2:00-4:00 PM on Saturdays. Office uses experience a peak parking demand between 10:00 AM-12:00 PM for a typical weekday. Restaurant uses typically have a peak parking demand between 12:00-2:00 PM and during the evening from 6:00-9:00 PM. A child care facility is not included in the current ULI publication. The hourly parking demand for the child care use was derived from actual information provided by the current TuterTime facility. Floral Park Promenade Parking Analysis 3 Austin-Foust Associates, Inc. 899001rpt.doc t5sr~33 Table 1 summarizes the forecast shared parking demand for the Floral Park Promenade center with the inclusion of the proposed project. An examination of the table indicates that 439 parking spaces would be forecast, a shortage of 17 parking spaces. Presently, the site has a minor exception (87-02) to reduce the required parking by 17 spaces. OBSERVED SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS Parking for the existing center was observed and is summarized in the following table, An examination of the table indicates that the maximum observed parking demand for the center was 127 spaces at 4:30 PM. The center presently has a total of 370 spaces available to meet the parking demand for the existing retail center. Based on the observed parking demand, a surplus of 243 spaces are available on-site.

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) produced a widely recognized and trusted report on the "sharing" of parking that occurs in large retail centers. The ULI parking analysis shown in Table 1 indicates that a maximum of 370 parking spaces would be occupied if this were a typical and relatively large retail center. Further, based on the result of the observed shared parking analysis, the center uses only a maximum 127 spaces during the peak parking demand period and sufficient surplus parking is available that would be sufficient to accommodate the addition of the proposed 5,000 square feet of food uses, The current noon usage is 120 spaces and the 5;00 PM usage is 124 spaces. The addition of 50 more vehicles (the code requirement for 5,000 square feet of restaurant) brings the peak parking total to 174 spaces or only 47 percent of the total parking available.

These counts were collected in December, 2003 when the retail was fully occupied including the current vacant market. The results of those parking counts conducted on multiple days including Saturday in December, 2003 revealed a maximum of 127 spaces were ever occupied at anyone time, With a total of 370 spaces available this means that even at the shopping center's peak parking demand, there were still over 240 empty spaces, more than adequate to accommodate the 50 spaces needed for the proposed restaurant uses. The big difference in the peak parking demand predicted by the ULI shared parking analysis (i.e., 370 spaces) clearly suggests that this retail center is not typical of the large mixed use centers included in the nationwide ULI study. Floral Park Promenade is a diverse mixture of retail, office, consultants, restaurant and other non-typical retail uses that produce a parking demand much different than the typical retail and office developments. This is clearly evident by the nearly empty parking lot (127 spaces out of 370 used) even with all spaces in the center occupied, while the ULI shared use procedure indicates the entire parking lot would be filed. Although the two analyses produce radically different estimates of peak usage, they do both confirm that the existing 370 spaces is adequate.

Will the proposed contribute to the community? use provide general well a service being of or the facility which will ne ighborhood or the The proposed Starbucks with drive-through window service will provide a service to the community by providing an additional restaurant opportunity in the area. Additionally, the drive- through lane will provide an added convenience to customers using the coffee house. B. Will the proposed use 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 Starbucks coffee house will not be detrimental to persons residing and working in the area as the on-site vehicular circulation system is designed to avoid conflicts on- and off - si te. A combination of berms and hedges will be provided in the front yard setback area along the Bristol Street frontage to screen the drive-through aisle and reduce glare. The on-site circulation will allow additional stacking within the site thereby avoiding impacts to Memory Lane and the vicinity. C. Will the proposed stability or future the area? use adversely affect the present economic economic development of properties surrounding The proposed project complies with Policy 2.5 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as it provides the economic benefits of commercial development to the City without impacting the quality of life for surrounding residents. The Starbucks coffee house with drive-through window service will generate City tax revenue and employment in the community. The use provides services that compliment surrounding businesses and, as conditioned, will not adversely affect economic development or stability of the area. EXHIBIT 10 75'8-42 Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 August 9, 2004 Page 2 of 2 D. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this chapter for such use. The proposed Starbucks coffee house with drive-through window service will be in compliance with the applicable sections of Chapter 41 of the Municipal Code. The use will also comply with all applicable county and state provisions, including health codes and ADA requirements. E. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City? The proposed Starbucks coffee house with drive-through window service is in an area designated General Commercial (GC) in the General Plan. The project complies with the Land Use Element and Urban Design Element of the General Plan and will not negatively affect them. Lastly, the use is consistent with the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district that allows retail and service uses. 758-43 Variance No. 2004-05 August 91 2004 Page 1 of 2 Findings of Fact A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject propertYI including sizel shape 1 topography 1 location or surroundings 1 that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at minor exception with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this Chapter. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property. The subject site is located on the northeast corner of Bristol Street and Memory Lane 1 which is a contained site surrounded by an existing commercial development. The number of parking spaces provided will be sufficient since the site will share parking with the Floral Park Promenade. Based on the Shared Parking Analysis 1 there will be sufficient parking for peak parking demand for both the new restaurant commercial development and the existing shopping center. B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of a variance is necessary to develop the property with a well-designed commercial development that is consistent with the Community Commercial (C1) zoning district and provides restaurant uses. Without the reduction in the required parking 1 the project site would not be able to support an economically viable development. Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan supports commercial development that accommodates the City/s needs for goods and services. C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property because the proposed commercial development complies with all development standards set forth in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code including setbacks and landscaping. LastlYI a reduction of 52 required parking stalls would be offset by the sharing of parking stalls with the existing Floral Park Promenade to the north. 758-44 Variance No. 2004-05 August 9, 2004 Page 2 of 2 D. That the granting of a varlance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City since the proposed development is designed in conformance with the C1 zoning district development standards and General Plan requirements. Policy 2.5 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan states that new development must balance the economic and fiscal benefits of commercial development with its impacts on the quality of life in the City. The reduction in the number of required parking will not negatively affect the surrounding commercial or residential properties. 758-45 AUGUST 9, 2004 PAGE 1 OF2 Conditions for Approval Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-17 is approved subject to compliance, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Planning Commission, with all applicable sections of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the California Administrative Code, the Uniform Fire Code, the Uniform Building Code and all other applicable regulations.

Page 2 of32 758-51 CS 606-2 Starbucks/Commercial Building Initial Study 2002-181 Proposed Project The proposed proj ect involves the construction of a commercial building with restaurant uses that would share off-street parking with an existing commercial center. A Starbuck Coffee Shop would be located within the commercial development. A conditional use permit would be required for a proposed drive through facility for the Starbuck Coffee Shop. Additionally, the proposed project is requesting a variance to allow for the reduction of 52 required off-street parking spaces for both the new commercial building and the existing commercial center. Setting The project site is located at 2701 North Bristol Street, situated within the northeastern area of the City of Santa Ana, Orange County, California. The property is located on the northeast corner of Bristol Street and Memory Lane. The property is approximately 0.51-acres in area, square in shape and currently vacant. Previously located on the project site was a gasoline service station. The project site is located within the Community Commercial (C1) Zoning District and has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC) with a floor area ratio of 0.5. Project Description The proposed commercial building would consist of 5,000 square feet of building area. Restaurant uses would occupy the entire commercial building. A Starbuck Coffee Shop with a drive through facility would occupy 1,600 square feet of area. The project site would be accessed from Bristol Street and Memory Lane. The building and drive through lane would be located on the northwest corner of the property. A total of 20 parking spaces are proposed. The City's Zoning Code requires a total of 50 parking spaces. Environmental Impact Analysis The following is an environmental analysis on the proposed project, based on the City of Santa Ana's CEQA Environmental Checklist. For each environmental issue, the analysis identifies Page 3 of32 758-52 the level of impact that is anticipated to occur. Where needed, mitigation measures have been identified to reduce potential impacts to a level that is considered less than significant. I. AESTHETICS (A.B) No Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is void of any scenic vistas or scenic resources. Additionally, there are no scenic resources associated with a State Highway within the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to any scenic resource. (C) Less Than Significant Impact According to the City's Urban Design Element, the project site is located within the Northwest Design District. The Urban Design Element establishes goals and policies to help guide the design of development projects proposed within a Design District. Specifically, land uses proposed within a Design District should exhibit high quality design and should incorporate design elements that are proportional and aesthetically related to the District setting. Through the City's development review process the proposed project has been determined to be consistent with the intent of the Urban Design Element. Compliance with the Urban Design Element would ensure that the proposed project would not degrade the existing visual character of the project site or the surrounding area. (D) Less Than Significant Impact The project site is located within an urbanized area with onsite lighting. Implementation of the proposed project would not introduce substantial new sources of light and glare into the project area. II. AGRICULTURE (A.B.C) No Impact According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program and the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR there are no prime or unique farmlands on the 2 75Se:S3 project site. Based on a site visit conducted by the City's Environmental Coordinator, the project site is currently not in agricultural production. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in the loss of any prime or unique farmland. III. AIR QUALITY (A) No Impac t The project site is located within the South Coast Air Basin and subject to the requirements of the Clear Air Act at both the Federal and State level, as implemented by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The South Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) is the primary planning document to monitor if air quality standards and objectives are being achieved in the South Coast Air Basin. The air quality objectives in the AQMP are based upon population and growth projections provided in regional plans and local general plans. A project could be in conflict with the AQMP if it results in population and growth impacts beyond those identified in regional plans and/or local general plans. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan, and would not result in growth projections beyond those established in the General Plan. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not be in conflict with the growth projections and air quality objectives established in the South Coast AQMP. (B) Less Than Significant Impact As mentioned previously, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulates air quality in the South Coast Air Basin. The South Coast Air Basin is currently a non-attainment area for carbon monoxide, ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide. The SCAQMD considers an air quality impact to be significant if it exceeds the thresholds identified below. EMISSION THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE Project Pollutant Construction Tons/ Operations Pounds/Day Quarter Pounds/Day Carbon Monoxide 550 24.75 550 Reactive Organic Compounds 75 2.5 55 3 758:524 Nitrogen Oxides 100 2.5 55 Particulate Matter 150 6.75 150 Long-ter.m Operational Air Quality Impacts The proposed project would involve the development of a 5000 square foot commercial building. The primary source of long-term operational emissions would be generated by vehicle travel to and from the project site. A relatively minor amount of gaseous emissions would also occur from natural gas and electricity usage. According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the threshold for potentially significant air quality impacts would involve the development of 2,700 square feet of restaurant uses with a drive-through facility and the development of 56,000 square feet of commercial land uses. The proposed project would be less than the threshold of significance for long-term air quality impacts established in the CEQA Air Quality Handbook. Additionally, the proposed proj ect would not generate CO hotspots, in that the vehicle trips generated by the proposed proj ect are consistent with the traffic projections in the City's Circulation Element and would not cause a roadway to be reclassified at Level of Service D or worse. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in significant long-term air quality impacts that would exceed state or federal air quality standards. Short-ter.m constructed Related Air Quality Impacts Construction operations associated with the proposed project could potentially result in short-term increases in particulate mater, and to a lesser degree increases in carbon monoxide and ozone. Peak day construction emissions for most pollutants arising from construction of the proposed proj ect would occur during the grading and excavation phases. The proposed proj ect would require grading to provide for the construction of building, parking areas, and access ways. Assuming grading of the entire proj ect, approximately 22,414 square feet of area would be graded. According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the threshold for potentially significant short-term air quality impacts would involve the grading of 1,309,000 square feet of area. The proposed grading would be considerably less than the threshold of significance established in the CEQA Air Quality Handbook. Additionally, all development projects within the 4 7 5S6_~5 South Coast Air Basin would be required to comply with AQMD Rule 403 to implement dust control measures. The purpose of Rule 403 is to reduce the amount of particulate matter entrained in the ambient air as result of human-made fugitive dust sources. (C) Less Than Significant Impact Implementation of the proposed project would not result in growth that would exceed local growth forecasts for the Orange County sub region and regional emissions budget developed by the Southern California Association of Governments for the 1999 Air Quality Management Plan. SCAG has determined that the air pollution impacts of any project that conforms to local growth forecasts would be mitigated by implementation of the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan. (D) Less than Significant Impact As mentioned previously, implementation of the proposed project would not result in significant long-term air quality impacts or significant short-term air quality impacts. Additionally, the proposed project would be required to comply with SCAQMD Fugitive Dust Rule 403 to further reduce short-term air quality impacts. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to any substantial concentrations of air quality pollutants. (E) Less Than Significant Impact Construction and operation of the proposed project would not be expected to involve materials that would create significant objectionable odors. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES (A.B.C.D) No Impact According to the California Department Fish and Game Natural Diversity Data Base and the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no sensitive biological resources located on or within the nearby vicinity of the project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed proj ect would not result in any adverse impacts to any onsite sensitive biological resources. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES (A) No Impact 5 Page 70f32 758-56 According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no historical structures within the nearby vicinity. project would not result historical structures. located on the Implementation in significant project of the impacts site or proposed to any (B.D) No Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is not known to contain any archaeological resources. However, the General Plan Land Use Element EIR does indicate that the City of Santa Ana has a high potential for unknown archaeological resources. However, the project area has been previously graded and there is minimal potential that unknown archaeological resources and/or unknown human remains would be encountered during construction operations. (C) No Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the proposed project site is not located in an area where paleontological resources are known to exist. Given the age and geology of the project area, it is unlikely that unknown paleontological resources would exist on the project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to any paleontological resource. VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS (A-l) No Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no known active earthquake faults or fault zones on the project site. Therefore, potential ground rupture impacts are unlikely. (A-2) Less Than Significant Impact The project site is situated within an active seismic region of southern California. According to the General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are 38 active faults within the region of the project site. The Newport Inglewood, located 8-miles south from the City of Santa Ana is considered to be one of the most dominant faults in regard to potential seismic shaking impacts. The Newport Inglewood Fault is postulated as having the potential to generate a maximum credible earthquake magnitude of 6 75B~57 6.3. The proj ect site could potentially be subj ect to moderate to severe ground shaking in the event of a major earthquake on Newport Inglewood Fault or on one of the nearby faults in the southern California region. However, the seismic risk at the project site is not considered significantly different from other areas in the region. To minimize potential seismic shaking impacts, the proposed proj ect would be subj ect to the seismic safety standards of the Uniform Building Code. Compliance with the Uniform Building Code would reduce potential seismic impacts to a level considered less than significant. (A-3) Less Than Significant Impact Liquefaction is the loss of the strength in generally cohesion less, saturated soils when the pore-water pressure induced in the soil by a seismic event becomes equal to or exceeds the overburden pressure. According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is considered to have High- Medium potential for liquefaction hazards. Through the City's development review process, the proposed project would be required to prepare a geotechncial report to evaluate the liquefaction constraints on the project site. If needed, design recommendations would be provided to minimize potential liquefaction impacts. (A-4) No Impact The project site is flat without any topographical relief. According to the City's General Plan, there are no landslide planes on the project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts in regards to landslides. (B) Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated The proposed project would require earthwork activity and site preparation for the construction of a building pad and parking areas. Uncovered soils on the project site could potentially result in erosion and sedimentation impacts to onsite and offsite drainage facilities. This potential impact could increase during periods of rain. To reduce potential erosion impacts to a level considered less than significant, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented. 7 75~3~58 Mitigation Measure · Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the applicant shall submit for review and approval a surface drainage/grading/erosion control plan prepared by a registered Civil Engineer, showing the direction and means of flow to the adjacent street. The plan is to include existing and proposed elevations at and adjacent to all property lines. Drainage routed to the street must be directed beneath the sidewalk and through the curb. (C) No Impact According to the City's General Plan EIR, the project site does not contain any unique geologic features. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to any unique geologic feature. (D) Less Than Significant Impact According to the City's General Plan EIR, the project site is located on Mocho Loam Series Soils that have low shrink/swell potential, high corrosion potential to uncoated steel and high corrosion potential to concrete. As part of the City's development review process, the proposed project would be required to prepare a construction-level geotechnical study to identify any needed improvements to ensure the long-term geotechnical stability of the project site. (E) No Impact The project site is situated within an urban setting with improved infrastructure. In terms of geological stability, the project site would be able to support the expansion of additional sewer facilities. HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (A) Less than Significant Impact The operation of the proposed project would not involve the routine transportation, handling or storage of large quantities of hazardous materials or waste. However, the long-term operation and construction operations associated with the proposed project could potentially involve the handling of incidental amounts of hazardous materials, such as solvents, oils, and paints. The proposed project would be required to 8 758:59 comply with local, state and federal requirements regarding the handling and storage of hazardous materials. Compliance with local, state and federal regulations would reduce potential hazardous material impacts to a level that is considered less than significant. (B) No Impact The proposed project would not emit hazardous emissions, or involve the handling of acutely hazardous materials. (C) Less Than Significant Impact The project site was the former location of a service station. The underground storage tanks on the site were removed in accordance with local, state and federal requirements. A closure letter was issued by the Santa Ana Fire Department indicating that the project site was not contaminated. Implementation of the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. (D) No Impact According to the Orange County Airport Environs Land Use Plan, the project site is not located within an accident potential zone or clear zone or FAA Notification Area. VIII. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY (A.E.I.N.R) Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation The City of Santa Ana is included within four watersheds; San Diego Creek, Santa Ana River, Talbert and Westminster. Each of these watershed areas are under the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and subject to the objectives, water quality standards and Best Management Practice requirements established in the Santa Ana River Basin Plan and Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan. The City of Santa Ana does not contain any impaired water bodies, as defined by Section 303 of the Clean Water Act. However, the City does contain several drainage facilities that convey surface water runoff into bodies of water that are classified as impaired. Additionally, commercial kitchens associated with the proposed project produces grease as a by-product of their operation. If 9 75e~60 not properly disposed of, the grease could potentially create blockage of sewer lines, which could result in damages to both public and private property. Additionally, the spillage could potentially result water quality impacts. Such impacts could potentially be in conflict with water quality standards established by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. Additionally, during construction operations surface runoff on the project site could be potentially degraded. To reduce potential water quality impacts to a level considered less than significant the following mitigation measure shall be implemented. Mitigation Measure · Prior to issuance of a grading permit the applicant shall prepare an NPDES post-construction storm water management plan per Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) that includes all structural and non-structural Best Management Practices. a. Submit and have approved a surface drainage/utility plan that includes all Structural Best Management Practices. b. Provide two copies of the Water Quality Management Plan that includes a description of all-applicable Structural and Non-Structural Best Management Practices, which may apply to this project. · Building plans shall reflect that the proposed project is fitted with a grease interceptor to the size and capacity as designated by the Building Safety Division of the City of Santa Ana to mitigate impacts on the local sanitary sewer system and regional water quality. Such grease interceptor shall be regularly maintained so as to remain fully functional. (B.Q) No Impact The proposed project would involve a limited amount of excavation. It is anticipated that construction operations for the proposed project would not require de-watering activities. The long-term operation of the proposed project would not have any impact on groundwater supplies. Additionally, the proposed project would not interfere with ground water recharge because the site is not located in an area that is not known to recharge the ground water system. 10 7~SZ:621 (C.D.L.M) Less Than Significant Impact The project site is located within an urbanized area. The City's Public Works Department has indicated that existing drainage facilities within the project area would be able to adequately drain the proposed project. Implementation of the proposed project would result in less than significant drainage impacts. The project would be subject to drainage assessment fees to help fund improvements to minimize cumulative drainage impacts. (F.G.H) No Impact According to the Flood rate Insurance Map X0602320029F the project site is not subject to 100-year flood risks. Implementation of the proposed project would not increase the risk of flooding. (J.K) Less Than Significant Impact Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of runoff channels and by the removal of groundcover, which leaves the soil exposed. Construction of the proposed project would require earthwork activities that could potentially result in erosion impacts. Through the City's development review process, the proposed proj ect would be required to incorporate Best Management Practices and erosion control measures to minimize potential erosion impacts. (o.P.S) Less Than Significant Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no sensitive marine waters, fresh waters or wetlands in the City. However, the City does contain several drainage systems that convey drainage flows to sensitive marine resources. Pollutants conveyed through these drainage systems could adversely impact sensitive marine resources. However, the proposed project would be required to comply with the City's storm water and urban runoff NPDES requirements to minimize water quality impacts to downstream marine resources. IX. LAND USE/PLANNING (A) No Impact 11 i5B~62 The proposed project would not physically divide any established community, in that no existing residential uses are located on the project site. The proposed project would be compatible with other existing land uses in the area. No adverse land use compatibility impacts would be associated with implementation of the proposed project. (B) Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan. However, the project is requesting a variance from the City's Zoning Ordinance to allow for the reduction of required parking spaces and a conditional use permit for a drive through facility. With approval of the variance and conditional use permit, the project would be consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance. Implementation of the proposed project would not be in conflict with any planning programs or policies in the City. (C) No Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is not included within any habitat conservation plan or any natural community conservation plan. X. MINERAL RESOURCES (A) No Impac t According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no areas in Santa Ana designated as significant Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in the loss of any regionally or locally important mineral resource. XI. NOISE (A.C) Less Than Significant Impact According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is located on roadways that experiences high traffic volumes. Convention building materials used for the proposed project would provide adequate sound attenuation for employees. Additionally, traffic generated by the proposed project would not emit noise levels in excess of City standards. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in a 12 758:633 substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels within the project area vicinity. (B.D) Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project would require conventional construction equipment and building practices. No significant ground borne noise impacts or ground borne vibration impacts would be associated with the proposed project. However, construction activities and construction equipment staging operations associated with the proposed project could potentially result in a short-term increase in ambient noise levels. To minimize potential construction-related noise impacts to a level considered less than significant, the project would be required to comply with City's Noise Ordinance. (E) No Impact According to the Orange County Airport Environs Land Use Plan, the proposed project site is not located within an area that is subject to high levels of aircraft noise. XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING (A.B.C) No Impact The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. Implementation of the proposed project would not induce additional population growth into the area, nor would it displace any existing households or housing. XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES Fire Protection: Less than Significant Impact The Santa Ana Fire Department would provide fire protection and emergency medical services for the proposed project. According to the Santa Ana Fire Department, implementation of the proposed project would not significantly increase the demands for fire protection services over current levels of demand within the project area and that under existing levels of manpower and equipment, the Fire Department would have the ability to provide adequate fire protection services.

Schools: Less Than Significant Impact The project site is situated within the Orange Unified School District. Implementation of the proposed project would not generate project-specific demands for new school facilities. However, the proposed project would be subject to provide school impacts fees to help address cumulative impacts to school services in the School District. Parks, Other Public Facilities: No Impact The proposed project involves the construction and operation of a coffee shop/commercial retail use. Implementation of the proposed project would not significantly increase the demands for additional park facilities or other public facilities. XIV. RECREATION (A.B) No Impact The proposed project involves the construction and operation of a coffee shop/commercial retail use. Implementation of the proposed project would not increase the demands for existing recreation facilities or generate the demand for additional recreation facilities. xv. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC (A.B) Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the traffic projections within the Circulation Element. The Public Works Department has determined that implementation of 14 75B~~5 the proposed project would not result in significant project- related traffic impacts or individually or cumulatively exceed any required level of service established by the City or by the County's Congestion Management Program. To help contribute to project area transportation improvements to reduce cumulative traffic impacts the project would be required to participate in the City's Transportation System Improvement Fee Program. (C) No Impact The proposed project involves the construction of a single-story fast-food restaurant. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any changes to air traffic patterns. The proposed project would not result in any substantial safety risks related to aircraft traffic. (D) Less Than Significant Impact Construction operations associated with the proposed project could result in a short-term increase of construction traffic volumes within the project area. However, the increased level of construction traffic is not expected to significantly affect the capacity of existing roadways in the project area. (E) No Impact As part of the City's development review process, the Fire Department has reviewed the proposed project for potential impacts in regards to emergency access. The Fire Department has determined that adequate emergency access would be provided. (F) Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project is requesting a variance to reduce the on- site parking requirements.

(G) No Impact The proposed project would not be in conflict with any adopted policies regarding alternative modes of transportation. Implementation of the proposed project would not displace existing public transportation facilities. 15 758:66 XVI. UTILITIES (A.B.E) Less Than Significant Impact The City of Santa Ana and/or the Orange County Sanitation District would provide wastewater service to the project site. The treatment of wastewater would be provided at Reclamation Plant 1 in the City of Fountain Valley. The proposed project would be required to provide appropriate sewer connection fees with the city of Santa Ana and the Orange County Sanitation District as well construct new water distribution facilities or upgrade or relocate existing water distribution facilities. The proposed project would not significantly increase the demand for additional wastewater facilities. Mitigation measures have been identified in Section VIII of this initial study to reduce potential impacts to the project area sewer system. The proposed project would not require an increase in wastewater treatment facilities, nor would the project exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the State Regional Water Quality Control Board. (C) Less Than Significant Impact Implementation of the proposed project would not significantly increase the amount of surface water runoff generated from the project site. However, the City's Public Works Department has indicated that existing drainage facilities within the project area would be able to adequately drain the site. Implementation of the proposed project would result in less than significant drainage impacts. (D) Less Than Significant Impact The City of Santa Ana would provide water service to the project site. The water demands for the proposed project are accounted for in the City's Urban Water Management Plan. Through the City's development review process, the Public Works Department has indicated that the City would have the ability to provide adequate water service to the project site. No adverse impacts in regards to the provision of adequate water service would be associated with the proposed project. (F.G) Less Than Significant Impact The City of Santa Ana would provide solid waste disposal service for the proposed project. The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) mandates all cities and counties 16 f5~:67 in California to divert fifty percent of solid waste generated from landfill disposal by the year 2000. As part of the General Plan, the City of Santa Ana has prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element, which describe how the city intends to comply with the mandates of AB 939. In order to comply with the requirements of AB 939, the City has implemented several waste reduction programs including green waste programs, source reduction programs, and recycling programs. The proposed project would be required to comply with the City's recycling program to reduce the demand for solid waste disposal. Compliance with the City's recycling program would reduce long-term solid waste disposal service impacts to a level considered less than significant. No significant adverse impacts would be associated with providing solid waste disposal service for the proposed project. XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (A) No Impac t Implementation of the proposed project would not substantially reduce the habitat of fish, wildlife species, or historic structures in that no fish, wildlife populations or historic structures are known to exist on the project site. (B) Less Than Significant Impact Implementation of the proposed project would not result in significant cumulative impacts. The project's incremental contribution would not be cumulatively considerable because the proposed project would comply with the applicable requirements of the Uniform Building Code, conditions of approval, mitigation measures and applicable City Ordinances, which provide specific requirements that would avoid any significant cumulative impacts within the project area. (C) Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project involves the construction of a coffee shop/commercial retail use. The project would not have any direct or indirect adverse impacts on human beings. Mitigation measures have been required for the construction and operation of the proposed project to insure that the project would not have a direct or indirect adverse significant impact to human beings or the environment.
