DISCUSSION Request of Applicant Mr. Arturo Saucedo, representing California Youth Soccer, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow an indoor sports facility at 1501 East McFadden Avenue. Property Description The subject site is a 14.6 acre parcel of land located on the north side of McFadden Avenue between Lyon Street and Linwood Avenue. The site is developed as a multi-building industrial campus with 14 industrial buildings ranging in size from 9,000 square feet to 41,600 square feet. The proposed project location is a 10,000 square foot industrial building located adjacent to McFadden Avenue in the southwest corner of the property. The General Plan land use designation for this site is Industrial (IND), and it is located within the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district. Surrounding land uses include industrial to the north, south and west with residential to the east (Exhibits 1 and 2). Project Description California Youth Soccer is proposing to occupy a 10,000 square foot industrial building to operate an indoor soccer league. The warehouse portion of the building will be reconfigured to provide two soccer ~IT~ Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-18 October 12, 2009 Page 2 fields, a spectator viewing area, snack bar and locker facilities. The two soccer fields will vary in size, with the larger being 4,000 square feet and the smaller being approximately 2,100 square feet. The office component of the warehouse will be reconfigured to provide a reception area and restrooms in addition to two administrative offices. The fields will be accessed primarily from two existing roll-up doors located at the rear of the warehouse adjacent to the primary parking area (Exhibits 3 and 4). Games will consist of five or six players on each team depending on which field is utilized, with up to five players on each bench for a total of 10 to 12 players per team. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. On weeknights, there will be six games on each field for a total of 12 games per night. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be 10 games on each field for a total of 20 games. Games will last approximately 45 minutes and there will be 20 minutes between games. The ages of players will range from six to eighteen years old; however, adult leagues are being considered in the future (Exhibit 5). Analysis of the Issues Ordinance Number NS-2776 added Indoor Sports Facilities as a conditionally permitted use in the Light Industrial zoning district in 2008. Prior to the adoption of this ordinance, indoor sports and recreation were combined with indoor entertainment and were only permitted in the City's commercial zones with a conditional use permit. The large space requirements necessary to operate indoor sports facilities in combination with higher lease rates in commercial areas resulted in a majority of indoor sports businesses not being able to locate in Santa Ana. In response to the growing demand for recreational activities and the limited park area provided within the City, the City Council amended the Municipal Code to allow indoor sports facilities within the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district subject to certain development standards and with a conditional use permit. These development standards included parking, limiting the hours of operation and limiting the number and type of uses that would be permitted under the definition of indoor sports facilities. The proposed indoor soccer facility meets all of the requirements specified in Section 41-482 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code relating to indoor sports facilities. The subject property has been recently remodeled and complies with current Light Industrial (M-1) development standards including landscaping and parking. Additionally, appropriate conditions of approval have been included for this project that will 31 A-4 Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-18 October 12, 2009 Page 3 ensure it remains in compliance with the indoor sports facilities section of the Municipal Code and does not become an attractive nuisance or disrupt the surrounding industrial tenants within the center. Per the submitted operations plan, the majority of the activity for the proposed use will occur in the evenings and on weekends when the surrounding industrial uses will not be active. The addition of indoor soccer in this location supports several General Plan Policies, including Land Use Element Policy 1.8 which encourages the development of commercial recreational facilities, and Policy 2.2 which encourages development which accommodates the City's need for goods and services. This project will provide a much needed opportunity for recreation within an area of the City that is substantially underserved by the existing parks. Based upon the analysis of the project and the project's compatibility with the City's General Plan and applicable development standards, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-18 as conditioned. CEQ~+, Compliance This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption applies to a project that involves the licensing of an existing structure with little or no expansion involved. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2009-76 will be filed for this project. ti~ .~-_ Matt Foulkes, LEED AP Vince Freg o, ICP Assistant Planner I Principal nner MF: jm mf\reports\cup09-].8 Saucedo Indoor Sports.pc 31 A-5 M1 R3 M7 R3 ~+~I II C2-OZ1-F ~- I Al GENERALAGRICULTURAL -B PARKING MODIFICATION Ct COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL C1-MD COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL-MUSEUM DISTRICT C2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL C3 CENTRAL BUSINESS C3-A CENiRALBUSINESS-ARTISTS'VILLAGE C4 PLANNED SHOPPING CENTER C5 ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL CR COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL C-SM SOUTH MAIN STREET COMMERCIAL DISTRICT -F FLOORAREARATIO GC GOVERNMENT CENTER Mi LIGHT INDUSTRIAL M2 HEAVY INDUSTRIAL MO MILITARY OPERATIONS O OPEN SPACE -OZ OVERLAYZONE P PROFESSIONAL PCD PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PRD PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT R1 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE R2 TWO-FAMILY RESIDENCE R3 MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE R4 SUBURBANAPARTMENT RE RESIDENTIAL ESTATE SD SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT SP SPECIFIC PLAN ~ -- CUP-2009'18 • ~ Saucedo Indoor Sports Facility ~ ~` ~ ~~ 1501 East McFadden Avenue - - =50DFEET 1 ° =1000 FEET P L A N N I N G A N D B U I L D I N G A G E N C Y Vl~afyl~~P INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRIAL 1NDUSTIRIAL F-- W W F-- ~" ' U) MULTI PL E ~ RESIDENTIAL ~ N~~M~~ PL W z w 0 ~ ~~ a J O Z ~, - ~ !PRO~J~ECT SIT,~E I ',~ INDUSTRIAL I MCFADDEN AVENUE H ~ Q v I N D U S T R I A L ~ I N D U S T l A L ~ _~ ~ ~ O U ~__ CUP-2009-18 ~~ Saucedo Indoor Sports Facility ~ 1501 East McFadden Avenue P L A N N I N G A N D B U I L D I N G A G E N C Y LA~VL~ l~ ~AP ~i7~F~ 2 ~hW ~v a ~yuJ ~v ~ rav +rr ta+Ar ~ ~~~ N ~+!~` ~F~~~~ ~. -~------ ~ ~- R I ~ ~ _i ~_ ~ O i .-. ~ t .~ ;rn ~~ ~_ ~~ o, ~! .t u u ~I Wi W ~I ~~ HI i I t z~ ~ ~I ~I ~~ O t ~ -~ I ~D i ; I ' I __., l ~ aem-su(ms) ixsra w 'wee eta wt ,xns rws two tort r~ -br~+~a -~smx VNY V1NY5 NI 3l]N3i1V N30QV~~W 15Y3 6091-i09! ~ ~ J ~~dd SS3NISf18 SbW~b'd Sb~7 a~ I I I ~ ~ ~ t ,~i ;~~ 6~t,~~ i~~ ~ ~ a ~ t ~ f ~~~~;~~i d~ ~ ~ ~ ~,~ t f ~ ~ ~ # ~ ~ ~ ~ # ~~~t}~~~ ~~i~ ~ ~~ ~ # k ~~ U.' ~ b o 1 ! ~ itIIII1II~ib ~ ®~ ~ ®® m w , ~~ t ~ ~~ 7v~~rr I I 3` PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN EXHIBIT 4 31 A-9 ~„m •„~..,~„o,,,.., „~w.~,,,,~ flAOft .PLAN k07ES. -wc~avr. ww.snuiv~urmwu~rc -+aaa.am.uw_ar~~o ~E)OSiMI(' ~1YA11 1501 E.
