NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: 1. Based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, this Commission finds and determines as follows: A. That the granting of a Conditional Use Permit is necessary for the preservation and enj oyment of one or more substantial property rights; The proposed church and parish facility, as conditioned, provides community service and ministries, contributing to the long-term success of the neighborhood. The Immaculate Heart parish has identified a substantial need for an additional church capacity. Conditions of approval have been developed in order to mitigate potential impacts of a larger church on this site. These include the limiting of facility use on the premises to ensure shared parking occurs and the upgrading of landscaping on the site to exceed the square footage required by development standards. The project allows the continuation of the existing parish activities while lessening on-site and off site impacts of a vibrant parish. B. That the granting of a Conditional Use Permit will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or inj urious to surrounding property; The addition of a new 1200 seat church, renovation of the property, and conversion of the current church into a parish hall, as conditioned, will not impact or be detrimental to the overall site or neighborhood. Site improvements will be made to enhance the site and mitigate circulation impacts on-site and in the neighborhood, parking adequacy, safety issues, noise impacts and design concerns.
