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. _______________________ Sergio Klotz Zoning Administrator Resolution No. 2008-09 Page 3 of 4 APPROVED AS TO FORM: Joseph W.
