B. The application includes the following related land use approvals: (1) Zoning Ordinance Amendment ("ZOA") No. 2026-02 to amend Specific Development Plan No. 53 (SD-53) to update development standards and permit places of worship subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP")- and (2) CUP No. 2026-03 to allow establishment of a place of worship. ("Project") C. Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02 amending Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53) requires adoption by the City Council to become effective, and the Tentative Tract Map is being considered concurrently with the proposed amendment. D. On August 7, 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2019, rezoning the properties at 4006, 4010, and 4018 West Hazard Avenue from the Single- Family Residence ("R1") zoning district to SD-53. SD-53 became effective on September 6, 1989. E. The Project Site has a General Plan land use designation of Low-Medium Density Residential ("LMR-11") and is located within the SD-53 zoning district. F. Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code ("SAMC") and the California Subdivision Map Act (°SMA"). The City Council is authorized to review and take action on Tentative Tract Maps and related project approvals in accordance with these provisions. Resolution No, 2026-010 Page 1 of 14 G. Pursuant to SAMC Section 34-127 and the Subdivision Map Act, approval of a Tentative Tract Map is required for projects proposing to create four or more parcels. The City Council is the decision-making authority for Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 in conjunction with its consideration of related Project entitlements. H. On January 23, 2023, the Applicant submitted a Development Project Review (DP) application for a subdivision to construct single-family residences and a place of worship. The application initiated the City's formal review process for the Project in accordance with applicable provisions of the SAMC. I. On January 5, 2026, the Applicant submitted an application for Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 requesting approval to subdivide the Project Site into 14 fee- simple lots. J. The Project proposes redevelopment of the Project Site through demolition of existing structures and is intended to allow for the construction of a two-story Cao Dai temple in conjunction with a residential subdivision. Related project approvals include Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 to subdivide the Project Site into 14 fee-simple lots and Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02 amending Specific Development No. 53 (SD-53), all of which are under consideration by the City Council. K. The City Council finds that the public outreach requirements pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 2-153 (Sunshine Ordinance), have been satisfied, including required public notification, community meetings, and posting of meeting materials on the City's website. L. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISIMND) was prepared for the Project. The ISIMND's Notice of Intent (NOI) was posted to the County Clerk on January 12, 2026, for the required 30-day public comment period, between January 13, 2026, and February 12, 2026. The ISIMND was also made available for public view at the City Hall Planning counter, Santa Ana Southwest Senior Center and on the City website. M. On March 9, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 (County Map No. 19332) and recommended that the City Council approve the Tentative Tract Map, as conditioned. N. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, in accordance with Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the SMA and Section 34-127 of the SAMC, which must be established in order to approve TTM No. 2026-01 (County Map No. 19332), have been established: 1. The proposed project and its design and improvements are consistent with the General Plan land use designation and are otherwise consistent with all other Elements of the General Plan. Resolution No. 2026-010 Page 2 of 14 The Project and its design and improvements are consistent with the Low Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) land use designation and supports several other goals and policies of the General Plan, advancing the City's goals for responsible growth, diverse land use balance, neighborhood compatibility, and complete sustainable communities. The proposed residential and temple components foster compatible uses that enhance livability and homeownership opportunities while supporting mixed-use infill neartransit along Harbor Boulevard (Goal LU-1; Policies LU-1.1, LU-1.2, LU-1.6). The integrated design provides supportive spaces for community gatherings through the temple and common open space (Goal LU-2; Policy LU-2.3), preserves neighborhood character with compatible and harmonious scale (Goal LU-3; Policies LU-3.1, LU-3.4), promotes a clean, safe, and creative environment (Policy LU-3.7), and creates complete neighborhoods with complementary uses and housing types (Goal LU-4; Policies LU-4.1, LU-4.7). Located in an area primarily consisting of low-scale single-family and multi-family residential uses, the Project is designed to be context- sensitive with the immediate surroundings. This compatibility with surrounding residential scale advances Housing Element Goal HE-2 (Housing Supply and Diversity) and Policy HE-2.5 (Diverse Housing Types) by facilitating single-family homes alongside community facilities. This context-sensitive approach further aligns with Urban Design Element Goal UD-1 (Physical Character) and Policies UD- 1.1 (Design Quality) and UD-2.2 (Compatibility with Setting) through high-quality materials, finishes, construction, buffers, and landscaping strategies. 2. The proposed project conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances. The Project conforms to all applicable requirements of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) and has been designed to meet the proposed modifications to SD-53 development standards, including those for units, height, setbacks, parking, open space, and landscaping. It also complies with all subdivision codes and other relevant City ordinances. As a mixed-use development, the Project is well-designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood, and its access and egress have been reviewed by the Public Works Agency for full regulatory compliance. 3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. The Project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed development. The approximately 2.5-acre site is proposed Resolution No. 2026-010 Page 3 of 14 to be subdivided to accommodate a temple, associated parking, a private street, and fee-simple residential lots with access from Hazard Avenue. The General Plan land use designation is Low- Medium Residential (LMR-11), which allows up to 11 dwelling units per acre and a maximum building height of three stories. The proposed residential density does not exceed this limit. The temple component, proposed through a concurrent Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA No. 2026-02) and Conditional Use Permit, is compatible with residential land use designations such as LMR-11, where a place of worship may be permitted subject to discretionary review in accordance with the Santa Ana Municipal Code. 4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injuries to fish or wildlife of their habitat. The design and improvements of the proposed Project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Since the project is located in an urbanized area, there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the Project site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not cause serious public health problems. The design or improvements of the proposed Project will not cause serious health problems, with the proposed subdivision not having any detrimental effects upon the general public. The property will include necessary utilities and infrastructure improvements as required under Development Project Review No. 2023-03. 5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use, of property within the proposed project. The design and improvements of the Project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access or use of the property within the Project. Easements for a new emergency vehicle, public right-of- way dedication, and public utility easement will be recorded under the new subdivision. In addition, the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) will ensure reciprocal access rights and maintenance agreements between properties. The installation of all utilities will conform with the requirements stated in Section 41-626 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The conceptual design of all proposed construction for the property will not affect the right-of-way for road purposes. Resolution No. 2026-010 Page 4 of 14 O. The effectiveness of Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-01 is contingent upon the City Council's adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2026-02, without which the proposed subdivision and place ofworship and religious facilitywould not be permitted under the current zoning regulations. Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA, as amended (Section 21000 et. seq. of the Public Resources Code) and in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq. of the California Code of Regulations), an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISIMND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) were prepared for the Project. The purpose of the ISIMND is to describe the proposed Project and to provide an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with the Project's construction and operation. Moreover, the ISIMND evaluates the potential environmental impacts of project implementation; includes significance determinations from the environmental analyses; identifies regulatory requirements to be incorporated into the project; and sets forth mitigation measures that will lessen or avoid potentially significant project impacts on the environment. The City of Santa Ana is the Lead Agency for the Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15367. The ISIMND and MMRP were circulated for public review in accordance with CEQA requirements, and the City Council has independently reviewed and considered the environmental documentation prior to taking action on this resolution. The ISIMND concluded that the Project could result in potentially significant environmental impacts; however, with incorporation of the identified mitigation measures and compliance with applicable conditions of approval, all impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. Possible impacts identified in the ISIMND include those related to Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. With implementation of mitigation measures (MM) listed below, all potential impacts would be less than significant • MM CUL-1: Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the Project Applicant shall provide written evidence to the City that the Applicant has retained an Orange County-certified archaeologist to observe grading activities within previously undisturbed soils, and to salvage and catalogue archaeological resources as necessary. • MM GEO-1: Prior to commencement of earthmoving activities, the Project Applicant shall retain a qualified Orange County-certified Paleontologist for on- call services in the event of a discovery of paleontologically sensitive rock formations during ground disturbance activities. • MM NOI-1: Prior to commencement of the demolition phase of the Project construction, the Applicant shall erect a temporary noise barrier along the west and east Project site boundaries and along the north side of the residential property located at 14532 Morse Drive, with a minimum height of 10 feet above grade, continuous with no gaps, and constructed of materials with sufficient mass to effectively reduce construction noise levels at adjacent residential receptors. Resolution No. 2026-010 Page 5 of 14 • MM NOI-2: The Applicant shall require that all construction contractors restrict the operation of vibratory rollers and other vehicles with a weight greater than 24 tons to locations at least 25 feet from off-site buildings; lighter equipment may be used within this distance. • MM TCR-1 : Prior to the commencement of any ground-disturbing activity, the Project applicant/lead agency shall retain a Native American Monitor from or approved by the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians—Kjzh Nation to monitor all ground-disturbing activities at on-site and off-site Project locations, with daily monitoring logs prepared and monitoring continuing until the Kizh and City agree it is no longer necessary. • MM TCR-2: Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, all construction activities in the immediate vicinity (not less than 50 feet) shall cease until the Kizh monitor and/or Kizh archaeologist has assessed the find; the Tribe shall recover and retain all Tribal Cultural Resources in a manner it deems appropriate. • MM TCR-3: Upon discovery of any Native American human remains and associated funerary or ceremonial objects, all work shall cease, the County Coroner and Native American Heritage Commission procedures pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 shall be followed, preservation in place shall be the preferred treatment, and confidentiality of the discovery shall be maintained The IS/MND's analysis determined that the above-mentioned environmental categories would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment with the inclusion of the enforceable mitigation measures, that would be adopted by the City. Based on the whole of the administrative record, including the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the City Council finds that the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, and hereby adopts the IS/MND and MMRP in conjunction with approval of this tentative tract map. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Determination, Environmental Review No. 2023-25, will be filed for this Project. Section 3. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until the City Council Ordinance for ZOA No. 2026-02 is adopted and becomes effective. If said Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this Resolution shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. Section 4. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, 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 Resolution No. 2026-010 Page 6of14 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.
