Fourth Street) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-12 to allow the expansion of an existing self-storage facility, including modifications to the required yard standards, as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Extra Space Properties 103, LLC (“Applicant” and “Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2025-12 to expand an existing self-storage facility at 1030 E. Fourth Street (“Project”). The Project is located in the UN-2 District of the Transit Zoning Code Specific Development (SD-84). This request is made pursuant to Section 41-2007 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), which requires Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) for self-storage facility expansions. As part of the request for a CUP, pursuant to SAMC Section 41-650, the Applicant is also requesting modifications to regulations set forth in SAMC Section 41- 475(b), which requires a minimum 10-foot landscaped yard strip adjacent to arterial streets; Section 41-475(d), mandating landscaping for all required yards; and Section 41- 477(k), requiring a 10-foot-wide landscaped planter along interior lot lines abutting non- industrial property – regulations that are intended to provide landscaped open spaces to buffer between surrounding properties. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed expansion of the existing self-storage facility, as it is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and supports several General Plan goals and policies. The Project encourages economic growth by creating jobs and attracting investment, while its design ensures compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and enhances the area’s physical character. The proposed expansion has been carefully developed to minimize impacts on the surrounding community. The Project will provide improved storage options for residents and businesses, serving as a valuable amenity that addresses local needs and enhances convenience and quality of life for the community.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 2 of 10 5 1 7 1 DISCUSSION Project Description The Applicant proposes to redevelop a portion of the existing Extra Space Storage facility at 1030 E. Fourth Street. The Project involves demolishing two one-story self-storage buildings, including the current rental office and manager’s apartment, as well as partially demolishing two additional one-story storage buildings. In their place, a new three-story self-storage building will be constructed, totaling 91,558 square feet, featuring a 1,147- square-foot rental office and a 680-square-foot manager’s apartment. No changes are proposed to the facility’s hours of operation. The rental office will continue to operate Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with customer access to storage units available daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Architecture and Design The new building will feature a contemporary industrial mill-style aesthetic, characterized by a brown brick façade, aluminum windows, storefront glass, spandrel glazing, and a standing seam metal roof with metal canopies. This design approach blends modern materials with traditional industrial elements, resulting in a structure that reflects the area’s historic character in a modern context. Spandrel glazing will be installed on the east and west elevations to provide articulation and breaks in the façade while minimizing aesthetic intrusion onto the adjacent residential community. Generous use of glass and aluminum windows enhances openness and visual connectivity, while durable brick and metal components ensure long-term resilience. On-Site and Off-Site Improvements Site improvements are proposed to enhance the property’s appearance, including the introduction of a landscaped parkway along Fourth Street and new plantings along Standard Avenue, where the frontage is sparsely vegetated and primarily gravel. New wrought iron perimeter fencing and 24-inch box Pacific wax myrtle trees extending more than halfway along the west property line are proposed to provide screening, enhance privacy and separation between the storage facility and neighboring homes. At the rear of the property facing First Street, the existing chain link fence with mesh screening and barbed wire will be replaced with a concrete masonry unit (CMU) block wall. New lighting will be installed around the proposed building, consisting of wall packs and canopy fixtures designed to provide adequate safety and visibility while minimizing impacts on adjacent residences through careful orientation and shielding. The Project will provide a total of 11 parking spaces, including four electric vehicle-capable stalls and four bicycle parking spaces, exceeding City requirements. Additionally, an approximately 135-square-foot triangular portion along the north property line, located about 30 feet from the westerly property line, will need to be vacated by the City under a separate action (i.e., street vacation/abandonment). This remnant area was previously an easement to allow for traffic and pedestrian visibility associated with     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 3 of 10 5 1 7 1 Breeden Street, which was vacated in 2021 to facilitate the adjacent residential development known as Lacy Crossing. Landscaping The landscape plan introduces new Brisbane box, southern magnolia, Pacific wax myrtle, and Canary Island palm 24-inch box trees, while preserving existing mature trees. Additional plantings include African sumac, blue glow agave, soap aloe, dwarf bottle brush, variegated flax lily, and dwarf olive, providing seasonal variety and drought tolerance. This sustainable, low-maintenance palette is intended to provide aesthetic balance with the proposed industrial form in order to enrich the site’s perimeter, particularly along the northern and western edges, the landscaped parkway on Fourth Street, and the improved Standard Avenue frontage.

Project Background Constructed circa 1994 as a self-storage facility with eight buildings and a manager’s unit, the Project site was originally subject to administrative approval, without requiring a CUP, when the Project site was located in the Heavy Industrial (M2) zoning district. It has continuously operated as Extra Space Storage since its construction, providing self- storage services to the community without interruption or change in use. Ordinance No. NS-2804 established the Transit Zoning Code (TZC) (Specific Development No. 84) in June 2010, modifying the site’s zoning designation from various zones to TZC with Light Industrial (M1) and Heavy Industrial (M2) overlays allowing continued industrial operations, including the subject facility. Ordinance No. NS-3082, adopted by the City Council on June 17, 2025 (effective July 17, 2025), amended the official zoning map of the City of Santa Ana by removing the industrial overlays within the Specific Development No. 84 (SD-84) zoning district. The zoning map amendments were enacted to address inconsistencies within an area prioritized for environmental justice, foster compatibility between residential and nonresidential uses, and improve public health and quality of life by eliminating industrial overlays that allowed incompatible noxious and hazardous uses near sensitive receptors. In conjunction with these changes, Ordinance No. NS-3081 concurrently amended the SAMC to revise land use regulations, permit types, and nonconforming use standards within the SD-84 zoning district, including adding an amortization/termination process and operational standards for certain uses. Together, Ordinance Nos. NS-3082 and NS-3081 were approved by the City Council to further the City’s goals of environmental justice, land use compatibility, and public health protection. Importantly, Ordinance No. NS-3081 also amended Table 2A of Section 41-2007, to allow expansion of an existing self-storage facility in the UN-2 Zone of SD-84 through a CUP. It also included a provision addressing the applicable standards for projects that have submitted applications that have been deemed complete, but have not been presented to the decision-making body for approval, before adoption of Ordinance No. NS-3081.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 5 of 10 5 1 7 1 Section 41-2005(c)(1) provides that “discretionary permit applications that are active and that have been determined to be complete before the effective date of the Article or any amendment, shall be processed in compliance with the requirements in effect when the application was deemed complete, and pursuant to all requirements of Section 41-2008.” Section 41-2008 outlines development and operational standards for all properties in the SD-84 zoning district. The Applicant submitted the development application in March 2024. Since that time, the Applicant has worked with City staff to address various concerns related to on-site and off-site improvements and development standards required by the M-1 Zoning Classification. In response to City comments, the Applicant made several site plan changes, with the final site plan design presented as part of this CUP request. Extra Space Storage is a national self-storage company founded in 1977 that operates more than 4,000 facilities across the United States. It offers a range of unit sizes and vehicle storage to serve both residential and commercial customers. Within Santa Ana, Extra Space Storage operates three facilities: the subject site located at 1030 E. Fourth Street, 511 S. Grand Avenue, and 280 N. Sullivan Street. Project Analysis Self-Storage Facility Expansion Under SD-84 Zoning Amendments The TZC and its subzones are designed to foster a diverse mix of development that supports both new construction and adaptive reuse, while promoting integration with existing and future transit infrastructure. Although recent amendments to TZC permit the expansion of existing self-storage facilities in the UN-2 district. tthe amendment to the TZC does not provide specific development standards for this “miscellaneous” land use type, focusing instead on buildings intended for residential, retail, service, or office uses. However, because he Project application was submitted in March 2024 and deemed complete in February 2025, which is prior to the effective date of the updated SD-84 standards, in accordance with SAMC Section 41-2005(c)(1), the Project has been reviewed under the development standards applicable at the time that the application was deemed complete (those of the M1 overlay zone), as well as all requirements of SAMC Section 41-2008. Conditional Use Permit for Expansion CUP requests are governed by SAMC Section 41-638. A CUP may be granted when it can be demonstrated that the proposed project will not adversely impact the community. If these findings can be made, it is appropriate to grant the CUP; conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in denial. Moreover, pursuant to SAMC Section 41- 2007 of the SAMC, the expansion of existing self-storage facilities in the SD-84 zoning district requires discretionary review and approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission. In addition, pursuant to SAMC Section 41-650, the Planning Commission may modify the regulations set forth for the district in which a project is located when it is determined that strict enforcement of said regulations would cause undue hardship to the applicant.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 6 of 10 5 1 7 1 The proposed Project will modernize the facility, expand capacity, and upgrade the on- site manager’s residence. Expansion of the facility will allow the business to continue serving as a land use buffer, helping to maintain a transitional use between adjacent residential land uses and nearby sensitive receptors from existing industrial activity in the vicinity. Careful attention has been given to site planning and building design to minimize potential impacts to adjacent residences. A 15-foot setback, landscaped with evergreen Pacific wax myrtle trees that typically grow 15-30 feet tall, will run along the wrought iron perimeter fencing, providing separation and screening between the new building from adjacent homes. Except for the manager’s apartment, spandrel windows proposed along the west building elevation are faux with storage units on the other side, and thus would not pose privacy concerns to residences. The facility is designed to maintain a quiet environment for the surrounding community, due to the minimal outdoor activity and lack of truck deliveries required for businesses like industrial and active commercial uses. The majority of self-storage units in the new building will be accessed from the interior with exterior-accessible units and new loading areas along the east of the building, away from homes. The contemporary industrial mill-style design with brick façade, reflects the neighborhood’s industrial past and complements existing commercial buildings nearby without appearing out of place. The new building’s scale is compatible with nearby residences and provides articulation, preventing it from looking overly commercial or boxy. The development will create a more visually attractive environment that contributes to revitalization efforts and vision of the TZC. While the site’s existing configuration limits the ability to provide full-width landscape buffers in every area, these constraints are offset by substantial new landscaping. The Project’s design, low-noise operation, and building placement ensure there will be no adverse noise impacts and that the facility will not negatively affect the surrounding community. To address lighting concerns, staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring that all lights utilize shielded fixtures and dimmers that are designed to minimize glare and eliminate upward or off-site light spill. Moreover, the Applicant would be required to improve lighting throughout the entire site, beyond the immediate vicinity of the new building, to ensure adequate security. A photometric study has been provided to demonstrate compliance with City standards and to ensure that no measurable lighting impact extends to residential uses (Exhibit 6). With operational safeguards, design features, and conditions of approval in place, the Project is not expected to result in significant impacts to public health, safety, or general welfare, and will remain compatible with the surrounding context – particularly the adjacent residences. Landscaped Yard and Planter Modification Strict application of the yard and landscaping requirements – specifically, SAMC Section 41-475(b) requiring a minimum 10-foot landscaped yard strip adjacent to arterial streets, Section 41-475(d) mandating landscaping for all required yards, and Section 41-477(k) requiring a 10-foot-wide landscaped planter along interior lot lines abutting non-industrial property – poses an undue hardship to the Applicant due to the existing site configuration.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 7 of 10 5 1 7 1 The current self-storage facility was developed and legally established with buildings constructed directly along the property lines, leaving insufficient space to accommodate the full width of landscaped yards and planters as required by the SAMC. While the Applicant is proposing substantial improvements elsewhere on the site, it should also be noted that the subject property is a highly irregularly-shaped site. Retrofitting the existing structures to comply with these specific landscaping standards would require major demolition or reconfiguration, which is not practical given the established development pattern. Moreover, the spatial limitations make it infeasible to retrofit standard landscaping widths without substantial reduction in building square footages, resulting in both physical hardship and operational inefficiency since it will require further revision to existing buildings and site layout. Modifying these requirements would allow the Applicant to maximize the use of the site and efficiently use the space available while still providing enhanced landscaping and visual buffers where feasible. These modifications would support the operational needs of the facility and improve the site’s overall appearance and compatibility with surrounding properties. The proposed improvements demonstrate that, while full code compliance with landscaping dimensions would cause undue hardship and are recommended for modification, the intent of the Code, to promote buffering, visual relief, and compatibility, is being satisfied through alternate, enhanced design features. The proposed landscaping plan introduces a varied plant palette that balances sustainability with appearance, ensuring that the Project contributes positively to the area’s visual character while respecting the spatial limitations of an infill redevelopment site. Furthermore, the improvements align with the purpose of Section 41-650, which allows reasonable flexibility in development standards to support reinvestment, particularly in older or constrained properties, when strict enforcement of such regulations will cause undue hardship. Approval of the modifications allow the City to balance zoning objectives with real-world development conditions, which also enables thoughtful urban infill that revitalizes underutilized properties and maintains neighborhood character while protecting nearby residential uses. Neighborhood Compatibility Staff has reviewed the Applicant’s request and has determined that the proposed partial demolition and new construction to expand the existing facility will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The new design and landscaping along Fourth Street and Standard Avenue will make the area more attractive and safer, while the facility itself serves as a quiet, well-maintained buffer between existing homes and industrial uses. The improvements promote compatibility with surrounding land uses, and contribute to the investment in the neighborhood, enhancing its visual appearance and livability. By maintaining a quiet, low-impact use that serves as a buffer between residential and industrial properties, the Project supports the neighborhood’s character, safety, and long-term vitality – in line with the city’s goals for vibrant, accessible, and cohesive urban neighborhoods. Conditions of approval have been included for this project that will ensure it remains in compliance with the SAMC and does not become an attractive nuisance or disrupt the surrounding land uses.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 8 of 10 5 1 7 1 With the exception of modifications to yard and landscape planter widths, the proposed Project complies with SAMC Section 41-2007 and SD-84 development standards. Staff has reviewed the Applicant’s request to modify the required yard and landscape planter widths outlined in Sections 41-475 and 41-477 of the SAMC. While the Applicant is undertaking significant alterations elsewhere on the site to enhance the facility, the existing buildings along the property lines limit the ability to provide standard yard and planter widths in those specific areas. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve modifications to these requirements as part of the CUP approval, as strict enforcement would cause undue hardship on the Applicant and also recognizing the site constraints, context within the SD-84 zoning district, and the Applicant’s overall improvements to the property. General Plan Consistency The Project has been designed to complement the scale of surrounding residences and aligns with multiple goals and policies outlined in the General Plan, including those related to Land Use, Economic Prosperity, Housing, and Urban Design, as follows: •Goal LU-2: Land Use Needs – Provide a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. 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. 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. •Goal LU-4: Complete Communities – Support a sustainable Santa Ana through improvements to the built environment and a culture of collaboration. o Policy LU-4.2: Public Realm – Maintain and improve the public realm through quality architecture, street trees, landscaping, and other pedestrian-friendly amenities. •Goal EP-1: Job Creation and Retention – Foster a dynamic local economy that provides and creates employment opportunities for all residents in the city. •Goal EP-3: Business Friendly Environment – Promote a business friendly environment where businesses thrive and build on Santa Ana’s strengths and opportunities. o Policy EP-3.7: Facilitating Investment – Promote a solution-based customer focus in order to facilitate additional development and investment in the community. •Goal HE-2: Housing Supply and Diversity – A diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 9 of 10 5 1 7 1 •Goal UD-1: Physical Character – Improve the physical character and livability of the City to promote a sense of place, positive community image, and quality environment. o Policy UD-1.1: Design Quality –Ensure all developments feature high quality design, materials, finishes, and construction. •Goal UD-2: Sustainable Environment – Improve the built environment through sustainable development that is proportional and aesthetically related to its setting. o Policy UD-2.2: Compatibility and Use With Setting – Employ buffers and other urban design strategies to encourage the compatibility of new development with the scale, bulk, and pattern of existing development. •Goal UD-3: Attractive Travelways – Create and maintain safe and attractive travelways through coordinated streetscape design. Approval of the proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of UN-30, which supports a mix of uses to enhance neighborhood vitality by providing neighborhood-serving amenities for local residents. The Project, involving the redevelopment and expansion of an existing self-storage facility, aligns with several General Plan goals and policies. Specifically, it supports Land Use Element Goals 2, 3, and 4 by promoting capital investment in an aging property, ensuring the new three-story building is compatible in scale and massing with adjacent residential developments, acting as an effective buffer between residential and industrial uses, and improving the public realm through quality architecture and enhanced street-facing amenities. From an Economic Prosperity Element perspective, the Project is consistent with Goals 1 and 3 by retaining and creating jobs, providing a service for both residents and small businesses, and ensuring the ongoing improvement and upkeep of a neighborhood property. Furthermore, the Project supports Housing Element Goal 2 of providing diverse housing by upgrading the on-site manager's apartment and offering secure, on-site storage amenities for residents in higher-density areas that may otherwise lack such facilities onsite. Finally, the Project’s quality architectural design, pedestrian-friendly frontages, and integration of neighborhood-specific materials and elements exemplify Goals 1, 2, and 3 of the Urban Design Element, ensuring the facility positively contributes to the visual character and livability of East Fourth Street. 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 map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 8. The Project’s site is located within the Lacy Neighborhood Association and is adjacent to the Logan Neighborhood. Staff contacted the presidents of the neighborhood associations to identify any areas of concerns due to the proposed application request. At the time this report was printed, residents of the Lacy Crossing development have expressed concerns that the proposed facility expansion would negatively affect the community’s health, safety, quality of life, environment, and property values. In response to these expressed concerns, staff have carefully evaluated the Project to ensure it benefits the community by acting as a transitional buffer between more impactful industrial uses and residential neighborhoods, promoting compatibility with surrounding land uses, and investment in the area’s overall quality of life.     CUP No. 2024-12 – Extra Space Storage (1030 E. Fourth Street) July 28, 2025 Page 10 of 10 5 1 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 Section 15332 (Class 32) of the CEQA Guidelines (In-Fill Development Projects), because the Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan land use designation and applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Extra Space Properties 103, LLC (“Applicant” and “Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2025-12 to expand an existing self-storage facility at 1030 E. Fourth Street (“Project”). B. On March 27, 2024, the Applicant submitted a Development Project application for the proposed expansion of the existing self-storage facility. C. On February 20, 2025, the Project was determined to have met the requirements and conditions of the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC) to complete the Development Project review process. D. On June 17, 2025, the Santa Ana City Council adopted Ordinance Nos. NS- 3081 and NS-3082, effective July 17, 2025, which amended the SD-84 zoning district revising land use regulations, permit types, and nonconforming use standards and removing the M1 and M2 industrial overlays. These changes address land use inconsistencies in an environmental justice priority area, eliminate hazardous industrial uses near sensitive receptors, and introduce amortization and operational standards to promote compatibility, public health, and overall community well-being. E. Pursuant to Ordinance No. NS-3081, a CUP is required for expansion of an existing, legally established self-storage facility located in the UN-2 Zone of the Transit Zoning Code (SD-84), as contained in Table 2A (Miscellaneous Uses) of Section 41-2007 of the SAMC. F. The application was deemed complete prior to the effective date of the updated Transit Zoning Code (SD-84) standards. In accordance with Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-2005(c)(1), the Project has been reviewed under the development standards applicable at the time that the application was deemed complete, as well as all requirements of SAMC Section 41-2008. G. Pursuant to Section 41-650 of the SAMC, the Planning Commission may also modify the regulations set forth for the district in which a conditionally permitted     Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 2 of 11 use is located when it is considered that strict enforcement of said regulations will cause undue hardship to the applicant. H. Pursuant to Section 41-650 of the SAMC, the Applicant is requesting modifications to SAMC Section 41-475(b) requiring a minimum 10-foot landscaped yard strip adjacent to arterial streets, Section 41 -475(d) requiring landscaping for all required yards, and Section 41 -477(k) requiring a 10-foot- wide landscaped planter along interior lot lines abutting non-industrial property. I. On July 28, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for CUP No. 2025-12. J. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a CUP pursuant to SAMC Section 41- 638, have been established for CUP No. 2025-12 for expansion of an existing self-storage facility at 1030 E. Fourth Street: 1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or community. The Project will directly benefit the neighborhood by updating an existing self-storage facility with a modern, secure, and climate - controlled building that meets the needs of local residents and businesses. The Project supports residents in higher-density areas that may otherwise lack on-site storage facilities. The new design and landscaping along Fourth Street and Standard Avenue will make the area more visually attractive and safer, while allowing the business to continue serving as a land use buffer, helping to maintain a transitional use between adjacent residential land uses and nearby sensitive receptors from existing industrial activity in the vicinity. These improvements address the community’s growing demand for storage while improving the visual appearance of the neighborhood, in line with the City’s goals for housing diversity, investment, and good urban design. 2. That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity. The Project incorporates a range of design and operational features to ensure it will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of people living or working nearby. The new design and landscaping along Fourth Street and Standard Avenue wi ll make the area more attractive and safer, while the facility itself serves as a quiet, well - maintained buffer between existing homes and industrial uses. The majority of self-storage units in the new building will be accessed from the interior with exterior-accessible units and new loading areas along the east of the building, away from homes. The facility is designed to     Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 3 of 11 maintain a quiet environment for the surrounding community, due to the minimal outdoor activity and lack of truck deliveries required fo r businesses like industrial and active commercial uses. Enhanced landscaping and shielded lighting will reduce visual and noise disturbances, while the building’s layout and setback from the street will avoid any new circulation or safety issues for neighbors. Together, these measures ensure the Project is a compatible and safe addition to the community, without negatively affecting the well-being of nearby residents or workers. 3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic development of properties surrounding the area. By modernizing the self -storage facility and enhancing the streetscape with attractive architecture and landscaping, the Project will support the economic stability of the area, help increase property values, and encourage further investment. The upgraded, climate-controlled storage units will meet both current and future needs of local residents and businesses without introducing new incompatible uses. These improvements will beautify Fourth Street and Standard Avenue, making the area more appealing for residents and investors, while supporting the revitalization efforts and vision of the zoning district it is located. The Project will help maintain a stable, vibrant local economy in line with the City’s economic development and beautification goals. 4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the SAMC for such use. The Project has been designed to comply with the majority of applicable regulations and conditions in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, including standards for floor area ratio, height, and parking. To address landscaped yard requirements for existing buildings, the Applicant requests modifications to SAMC Section 41 -475(b), which requires a minimum 10-foot landscaped yard strip adjacent to arterial streets; Section 41-475(d), mandating landscaping for all required yards; and Section 41-477(k), requiring a 10-foot-wide landscaped planter along interior lot lines abutting non-industrial property. 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed use. The Project is consistent with the General Plan’s Urban Neighborhood vision and the SD-84 Urban Neighborhood subzone, which support a mix of housing, neighborhood-serving amenities, and commercial uses in a walkable, attractive setting. The upgraded self -storage facility provides a needed service for nearby residences and businesses, supporting local convenience and housing diversity. Its architectur al     Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 4 of 11 design, street-facing office, and enhanced landscaping along Fourth Street and Standard Avenue reflect the area’s emphasis on pedestrian- friendly streetscapes. By maintaining a quiet, low-impact use that serves as a buffer between residential and industrial properties, the Project supports the neighborhood’s character, safety, and long-term vitality – in line with the city’s planning goals for vibrant, accessible, and cohesive urban neighborhoods. Land Use Element The proposed Project advances several goals and policies of the Land Use Element by reinvesting in an aging self-storage facility and introducing a new three-story building that is compatible in scale and design with adjacent residential areas. This supports Goal LU-2 by providing a balance of uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs and by encouraging investment as well as the retention and development of local businesses, consistent with Policy LU-2.6 and Policy LU-2.7. By revitalizing the property and enhancing its appearance, the Project aligns with Goal LU-3 and Policy LU-3.4, which emphasize compatibility and the preservation of neighborhood character. Quality architecture and enhanced street-facing amenities along Fourth Street and Standard Avenue improve the public realm, while upgraded landscaping, new street trees, and pedestrian-friendly features support Goal LU-4 and Policy LU-4.2 by creating a more attractive, walkable environment. Collectively, these improvements help buffer residential areas from industrial uses, foster a livable community, and support Santa Ana’s vision for sustainable, complete neighborhoods. Economic Prosperity Element The Project supports Goal EP-1 by creating and retaining local jobs through the expansion of the self-storage facility. It also furthers Goal EP- 3, which promotes a business-friendly environment, by modernizing an existing business and demonstrating ongoing investment in the community. These help foster a positive climate for business growth and retention. Consistent with Policy EP-3.7, the Project encourages further development and investment in Santa Ana’s community. Housing Element By modernizing and expanding the self -storage facility and upgrading the on-site manager’s apartment, the project addresses a unique housing need by providing on-site residential accommodations for facility staff, thereby supporting Goal HE-2 of providing diverse housing by upgrading the on-site manager's apartment and offering secure, on-site storage amenities for residents in higher-density areas that may otherwise lack such facilities onsite. The Project’s provision of secure storage supports residents in higher-density housing by addressing space limitations, thereby complementing the City’s efforts to foster a diverse and livable     Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 5 of 11 community. Urban Design Element The proposed project advances the Urban Design Element by improving the physical character and livability of the area, consistent with Goal UD- and Policy UD-1.1. The new three-story building is designed to be compatible with the scale of surrounding development, supporting Goal UD-2 and Policy UD-2.2. Landscaped buffers and site planning help ensure the Project serves as an effective transition between residential and industrial uses. Additionally, the Project enhances the streetscape along Fourth Street and Standard Avenue with new tree s, upgraded landscaping, and improved pedestrian amenities, fulfilling Goal UD -3 by creating safe, visually appealing, and sustainable travel corridors that contribute to a positive community image. K. Pursuant to Section 41-650 of the SAMC and the analysis in the Request for Planning Commission Action dated July 28, 2025, and exhibits attached thereto, the Planning Commission also modifies the regulations in SAMC Sections 41- 475(b), 41-475(d) and 41-477(k) of the SAMC to allow for relief from minimum landscaped yard requirements, as strict enforcement of such regulations would cause an undue hardship to the Applicant. The subject property is a highly irregularly-shaped site. Retrofitting the existing structures to comply with these specific landscaping standards would require major demolition or reconfiguration, which is not practical given the established development pattern. Moreover, the spatial limitations make it infeasible to retrofit standard landscaping widths without substantial reduction in building square footages, resulting in both physical hardship and operational inefficiency since it will require further revision to existing buildings and site layout. Modifying these requirements would allow the Applicant to maximize the use of the site and efficiently use the space available while still providing enhanced landscaping and visual buffers where feasible. These modifications would support the operational needs of the facility and improve the site’s overall appearance and compatibility with surrounding properties. Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the Project is exempt from further review, pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32) of the CEQA Guidelines (In-Fill Development Projects), because the Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan land use designation and applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. Moreover, the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres; the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemp tion, Environmental Review No. 2024- 22, 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     Resolution No. 2025-XX Page 6 of 11 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 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public hearing, hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2025 -12, as conditioned in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, to expand an existing, legally established self-storage facility at 1030 E.

Van Ness Avenue) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Site Plan Review No. 2025-02 as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jeremy Cole (“Applicant”), representing Sonia Gonzalez (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Site Plan Review (SPR) No. 2025-02 in order to allow an 85-square- foot rear addition, exterior alterations, and an interior remodel to an existing single-family residence addressed as 730 S. Van Ness Avenue. 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 residential additions (i.e., new construction). Staff recommends approval of the Applicant’s request, as the proposed addition and exterior alterations have been designed to comply with the SD-40 and HPADG development and design standards. Moreover, the addition will be architecturally compatible with the neighborhood and consistent with the Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines (SACDG). DISCUSSION Project Description The existing single-story, 1,097-square-foot single-family residence is proposed to be expanded by approximately 85 square feet to enlarge a bedroom and add a new bathroom. The total number of bedrooms will remain at three (no net change) and the bathroom count will increase from one to two. To accommodate the expanded bedroom, the residence will be extended approximately six feet, four inches (6’-4”) toward the rear (west) elevation. The new bathroom will be created within the interior of the bedroom space and measure approximately 52 square feet. Overall site improvements include installation of new vinyl hung windows throughout the residence, all featuring decorative wood trim and sill detail to match the existing style, along with matching exterior stucco. The Project also includes the removal of an unpermitted 280-square-foot rear patio cover.     SPR No. 2025-02 (730 S. Van Ness Street) July 28, 2025 Page 2 5 1 8 1 The proposed addition is designed in the Minimal Traditional architecture style, to match the existing residence. The addition will include a rear-facing gable roof and a vinly hung window with matching decorative wooden trim and sill. The roof is proposed to be matching composition asphalt shingles and new attic vents will be designed to match the rest of the residence. The Project also includes enclosing a rear water heater with matching materials and replacing eleven wood single-hung windows with vinyl single- hung windows. All new windows and doors would include decorative wood trim to match the existing residence. Lastly, the proposed addition will meet all development standards for the SD-40 zoning designation, as noted in Table 2 below.

In 2006, the Council further amended SD-40 through Ordinance No. NS-2711, which codified the Heninger Park Architectural Design Guidelines (HPADG) to streamline project review processes and implement general updates and clarifications to the SD-40 district. The SD-40 zoning district Item Information Project Address and Council Ward 730 S. Van Ness Avenue – Ward 2 Nearest Intersection Van Ness Avenue and Highland Street General Plan Designation Low Density Residential (LR-7) Zoning Designation Specific Development No. 40 (SD-40) North Single-Family Residential East Single-Family Residential South Single-Family Residential Surrounding Land Uses West Single-Family Residential Property Size 0.14 acres (6,250 square feet) Existing Site Development Single-Family Residences with detached garage Building Size 1,097 square feet Use Permissions Single-Family Residential (permitted under in Project Area 5 of SD-40) Zoning Code Sections Affected Uses SAMC Section 41-593 and SD-40     SPR No. 2025-02 (730 S. Van Ness Street) July 28, 2025 Page 3 5 1 8 1 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 constructed in 1940 in a Minimal Traditional architectural style. The Minimal Traditional architectural style emerged in the 1930s and remained prevalent through the early 1950s, reflecting the economic constraints of the Great Depression and the housing demands of the post-World War II era. This style represents a transitional movement between the ornate revival styles of the early 20th century and the simpler, more horizontal forms of the later Ranch and Mid-Century Modern styles. Minimal Traditional residences are typically one to one-and-a-half stories in height, with asymmetrical facades and compact massing, often configured in rectangular or L-shaped plans. Roofs are generally low- to moderate-pitched gables or hips with minimal overhangs and limited detailing. Exterior cladding commonly includes stucco, wood siding, brick, or stone veneer, sometimes used in combination to create subtle textural contrast. Windows are generally double-hung or casement types, occasionally paired or grouped, with minimal trim or ornamentation. Entrances are modest, often set under the primary roofline or within a shallow projecting or recessed porch. Decorative elements are restrained, though simplified references to Colonial, Tudor, or Spanish Revival styles may appear in gable ends, chimneys, or door surrounds. Since its original construction, the property has undergone a reroof in 2000 and rear window changeouts in 2004. Analysis of the Issues 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 addition, Planning Commission approval is required for all construction of new residential units, residential additions, and new accessory structures. 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 SACDG. The subject property is neither listed nor eligible for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties due to alterations that have compromised its character-defining     SPR No. 2025-02 (730 S. Van Ness Street) July 28, 2025 Page 4 5 1 8 1 features. Therefore, staff reviewed the Project for compliance with the SACDG and SD- 40 development standards and worked with the Applicant to ensure that allowable modifications were consistent and compatible with the neighborhood, as required by the applicable SACDG. As illustrated in Table 2, the Project meets all required SD-40 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., Minimal Traditional architectural style). As required by Chapter 6 (Residential Guidelines) of the SACDG, the modifications 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 lifespan. Neighborhood Review Application No. 2024-11 The Applicant submitted the required neighborhood review application in early November 2024. A completed application was routed to the HPARC on November 25, 2024. Pursuant to the HPADG, the HPARC may review the proposed Project for compliance with the provisions of the design guidelines and respond in writing to the City within 14 calendar days of receipt of the submittal plans and application. If no response is received by the City within this time period, it is assumed that the HPARC has no comments regarding the Project. For the subject application, no neighborhood comments were provided for additional consideration. 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 map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 5. In addition to these measures, representatives of the Heninger Park and Pico-Lowell Neighborhood Associations 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 application. 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 an increase of less than 50 percent of structure before addition. 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     SPR No. 2025-02 (730 S. Van Ness Street) July 28, 2025 Page 5 5 1 8 1 area in which the Project is located is not considered environmentally sensitive.

Copy of Public Notices Submitted By: Cristian Santana, Assistant Planner II Approved By: Ali Pezeshkpour, Executive Director, Planning and Building Agency     Resolution No. 2025-XXX Page 1 of 6 RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING SITE PLAN REVIEW NO. 2025-02 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW A MAJOR RESIDENTIAL ADDITION AND EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS TO AN EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOME WITHIN THE HENINGER PARK SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT (SD-40) LOCATED AT 730 S. VAN NESS AVENUE (APN: 010-203-15) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: A. Jeremy Cole ( “Applicant”), representing Sonia Gonzalez (“Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Site Plan Review (SPR) No. 2025-02 in order to allow a major residential addition, exterior alterations, and an interior remodel to an existing single-family home for the property addressed as 730 S. Van Ness Avenue, within the Specific Development No. 40 (“SD- 40”) zoning district. B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (“SAMC”) Section 41-593.3, any use or development of property within a Specific Development 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 in the SD-40 zoning district 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 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 (“HPADG”) requires Planning Commission review and approval for all construction of new residential units, residential additions, and new accessory structures. E. The HPADG apply to all new infill development projects and all properties within SD-40 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.     Resolution No. 2025-XXX Page 2 of 6 F. SD-40 and the HPADG note that properties not listed on the Register or identified in HPADG’s Appendix are subject to review by the Planning Commission for conformance with the City of Santa Ana Citywide Design Guidelines (“SACDG”). G. The subject property is neither listed nor eligible for listing on the Register, pursuant to Appendix A of the HPADG. Therefore, staff reviewed the Project for compliance with the SD-40 and SACDG development standards. H. 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 lifespan. I. On July 28, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on SPR No. 2025-02. J. 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 SD-40 zoning district and the SACDG. 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 s etbacks. In addition, the residential addition and alterations are designed in an architectural design identified as appropriate within the HPADG and the SACDG (i.e., Minimal Traditional architectural style). The modifications 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. 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 in an increase of less than 50 percent of structure before addition. 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, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-57, will be filed for this project.     Resolution No. 2025-XXX Page 3 of 6 Section 3.
