A. Vineyard Development is requesting approval of an amendment to an

multifamily residential project with 278 units at 200 East First American
Way.
B. This Resolution came before the Planning Commission for a duly noticed
public hearing on January 23, 2012. At that time, the Planning
Commission continued the matter to February 13, 2012. Staff
recommended that the Planning Commission vote to recommend that the
City Council:
1. Approve and adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation

(Resolution 01-44, § 8e), the applicant desired to proceed to City Council.
Resolution No. 2012-013
Page 1 of 6
C. In accordance with State law, the zoning ordinance amendment and the
project's close proximity to the John Wayne Airport (JWA) requires the
project to be submitted to the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for a
determination of consistency with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan
(AELUP) for JWA. The project received FAA clearance on January 26,
2012, with Aeronautical Study No.2012-AWP-393-OE. At the regular
meeting of the ALUC for Orange County on February 16, 2012, the
Commission found that the proposed Met at South Coast Multi-Family
project located at 200 First American Way is consistent with the AELUP
for JWA, and that the project is consistent with the AELUP for Heliports.
D. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-01 (County Map No. 17437) has
been filed seeking approval of a vesting tentative tract map for
condominium purposes.
1. To adopt a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, California Government
Code Section 66474 requires the following findings:
The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and
improvements are consistent with the District Center
designation on the General Plan and are otherwise
consistent with all other elements of the General Plan.
The proposed subdivision, Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 2012-01 is consistent with the District Center
land use designation and density prescribed and all
other elements of the General Plan.
The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all
applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes
as well as other applicable City ordinances.
The proposed subdivision conforms to the minimum
condominium requirements, as well as meets the
letter and intent of the State of California Subdivision
Map Act Provisions. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No.
2012-01 is in keeping with the Site Plan Review
(Development Project No. 2011-11) and Chapter 34
and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for
the project, which need to be approved by the City
prior to City Council approval of the final map.
iii. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density
of the proposed project.
The proposed site consists of approximately three
acres of land within SD-43, which is physically
Resolution No. 2012-013
Page 2 of 6
suitable for the residential development as proposed.
Access to the site will occur on First American Way
for automobiles. There are no physical constraints on
the site to preclude development.
iv. 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.
A mitigated negative declaration (MND) was prepared
pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act for
the project. The MND has provided mitigation
measures to address plant and 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.
V. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not
cause serious public health problems.
The proposed subdivision is not going to have any
detrimental effects upon the general public. The MND
has identified and addressed impacts and provided
mitigation measures to address potential impacts from
the project.
vi. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not
conflict with the easements acquired by the public at large
for access through or use of property within the proposed
project.
There is no easement for public access on this
property, therefore the proposed project will not
conflict with easements necessary for public access
through or use of the property. Public access will be
provided from First American Way, MacArthur
Boulevard and MacArthur Place.
E. The Applicant is requesting site plan approval for the project (Site Plan
Review No. 2012-01). The zoning designation for the subject property is
Specific Development Plan No. 43 (SD-43).
Section 41-593.5(c) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code requires review
of all plans within a specific development plan area to ensure the
project is in conformity with the Specific Plan.
Resolution No. 2012-013
Page 3 of 6
2. Considering adoption of the amendments to SD-43 requested by the
applicant, the project is in compliance with all applicable development
standards outlined within the Specific Development Plan (SD-43).
3. Considering adoption of the amendments to SD-43 requested by the
applicant, the project has been determined to be in compliance with
applicable parking, landscaping and architectural provisions
governing the project.
Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information
contained in the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation
monitoring program, Environmental Review No. 2011-46, prepared with respect to this
Project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence
presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a
mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program adequately addresses
the expected environmental impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the City
Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the Project
will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council hereby
certifies and approves the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring
program and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the
County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law.
Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations ("CCR") § 735.5(c)(1), the City
Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence
that the proposed project will have the potential for any adverse effect on wildlife resources
or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The proposed project
exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete, roadways, surrounding
buildings and human activity. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and Game Code § 711.2 and
Title XIV, CCR § 735.5(a) (3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not
required in conjunction with this project.
Section 3. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public
hearing hereby approves:
A. Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program,
Environmental Review No. 2011-46.
B. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2012-01 as conditioned in Exhibit
"A" attached hereto and incorporated herein.
C. Site Plan Review No. 2012-01 as conditioned in Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and incorporated herein.
These decisions are based upon the evidence submitted at the above said
hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Council Action dated
March 5, 2012, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, written and oral,
all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 4. This Resolution shall not be effective unless and until Ordinance No.
NS-2830 and Ordinance No. NS-2831 become effective. If said ordinances are for any
reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, or otherwise do not go into effect for any reason, then this resolution shall be
null and void and have no further force and effect.
Section 5. This decision rendered by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana
is final and is subject to judicial review pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
section 1094.6. The Clerk of the Council shall give direct notice to the applicant of the
Council's decision and these findings.
