RESOLUTION NO. 2011-02
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING THE
ART PROGRAM FOR THE PROPERTY AT 8
MACARTHUR PLACE
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. The Applicant is requesting approval of the proposed art plan for the
Courtyard by Marriott Hotel at MacArthur Place South located at 8
Macarthur Place.
B. The art plan came before the Planning Commission of the City of
Santa Ana on February 28, 2011.
C. In 2005, the City approved various entitlements for the MacArthur
Place South development, including several conditional use
• permits, variances, tentative maps, and a development agreement.
Included in these entitlements was a requirement to install a single
or grouped permanent work of public art to enrich both the project
and surrounding community. In June 2008, the development
agreement was amended to allow the phasing of the public art
while still requiring a total commitment of $500,000 for public art
within MacArthur Place South.
D. The art plan proposes "Paloma," a unique sculpture designed to
convey the essence of the dove as a universal symbol of peace. The
art piece is a six-foot, six-inch high, by seven-foot wide stainless steel
and polyurethane freestanding sculpture that is welded to a thirty-inch
high stainless steel pedestal. The art piece will be located within the
water element plaza at the southeast side of the hotel and will be
visible from MacArthur Place.
E. The development agreement requires Planning Commission review
and approval of the art piece prior to issuance of any certificate of
occupancy. Additionally, the development agreement identifies
minimum requirements such as:
1. Public art valued at $125,000.
2. The public art should invite participation and interaction,
• inspire, add local meaning, interpret the community by

revealing its culture or history, and/or capture or reinforce
the unique character of the new place.
3. The public art should be comprised of a single or grouped
permanent work(s) at a prime location visible to the public
and sited to complement features such as plaza or
architectural components so that the art piece is an integral
part of the development site.
4. The use of durable materials and finishes including, but not
limited to, stone or metal.
5. No advertising of any type including, but not limited to,
products, services or businesses.
F. The Planning Commission finds that the public art plan is in
compliance with the provisions of the Amendments to Development
Agreement No. 2005-02.
G. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action has been reviewed through previously
certified Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-02. The original
Environmental Impact Report was analyzed in light of the public art
plan and it was determined that there are no new significant
impacts resulting from this plan. Therefore, no environmental
documentation is required.
Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby
approves the art plan. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the
above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning
Commission Action dated February 28, 2011, and exhibits attached thereto, and
the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
ADOPTED this 28th day of February, 2011 by the following vote:
