RESOLUTION NO. 2008-09
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING MINOR
EXCEPTION NO. 2008-01 AS CONDITIONED SEEKING TO
ALLOW A REDUCTION IN OFF-STREET PARKING FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1125 EAST
SEVENTEENTH STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Minor Exception No. 2008-01 came before the Zoning Administrator of the
City of Santa Ana for a public hearing on April 30, 2008. On April 30,
2008 the matter was continued to May 14, 2008. On May 14, 2008 the
matter was continued to June 4, 2008.
B. The applicant is requesting approval of Minor Exception No. 2008-01 to
allow for a reduction of thirteen (13) percent of the off-street parking space
requirements, in order to accommodate two proposed professional trade
schools at 1125 East Seventeenth Street.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638.1 authorizes the Zoning
Administrator to grant a Minor Exception upon making certain findings
which have been met.
1. That the granting of a minor exception to allow two or more
independent uses to share the required parking stalls will not result
in a conflict between parking for one use and parking for another
due to differences in time of primary utilization of parking.
The North Park Medical Plaza is a contained site surrounded
by residential to the north and commercial to the south, east
and west. As proposed, a total parking reduction of 13
percent is anticipated for the existing medical plaza. The
minor exception process allows for a parking reduction of up
to 20 percent based on the demonstration that a center with
mixed uses will have no conflict in sharing the existing parking
stalls. The shared parking analysis prepared by RK
Engineering Group, Inc. has determined that sufficient parking
will be provided for the project during times of peak demand.
Resolution No. 2008-09
Page 2 of 4
The shared parking analysis determined that the projected
parking for the month of January would be 829 stalls on
weekdays and weekends. Additionally, a field count was
performed in April of 2008 at the subject site and a maximum
of 168 stalls were occupied at the peak hour. In addition, the
traffic engineer took into account the proposed uses along
with the parking count and calculated the peak demand as
356 spaces during the day. As existing, the medical center
can easily accommodate the two proposed trade schools
along with the existing uses.
2. That the granting of a minor exception will not substantially
increase difficulties of vehicle maneuverability or traffic congestion
on the project site.
Based on the shared parking analysis, the existing on-site
parking is sufficient to accommodate the two proposed trade
schools. Furthermore, no additional square footage will be
constructed as part of this proposal and no parking stalls will
be removed. As existing, the center has numerous drive
aisles and driveways and allows for excellent parking
circulation. Lastly, the site is accessed from Seventeenth
Street which is defined as a Major Arterial in the Circulation
Element.
D. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15305.
This Class 5 exemption allows minor alterations in land use which do not
result in any changes in land use or density. Categorical Exemption
Environmental Review No. 2007-04 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting
the duly noticed public hearing, hereby approves Minor Exception No. 2008-01, for a
reduction of thirteen (13) percent of the off-street parking space requirements, as
conditioned in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based
upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, which includes but is not limited
to: the Request for Zoning Administrator Action dated June 4, 2008, and the public
testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
ADOPTED this 4th day of June, 2008.
