PLACE /SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT NO. 85 (SD -85) FOR

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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-
12 to allow an indoor sports facility in the McFadden Place /Specific
Development No. 85 (SD -85) for the property located at 1441 South
Village Way.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -12 came before the Planning
Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on
May 26, 2015.
C. In 2013, AA No. 2013 -02 was approved, establishing the McFadden
Place /Specific Development (SD) No. 85 zoning district, which allows for a
variety of industrial, commercial and recreational uses, including indoor
sports facilities subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41- 638(a)(1) authorizes the Planning
Commission to grant a conditional use permit upon making certain
findings.
1. That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well -being of the neighborhood or
community.
The project will provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the community. The facility is a commercial
recreational facility that will provide additional recreational
opportunities to residents and visitors of the City. Further,
the business will provide additional employment
opportunities for residents that live in the City.
2. That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the
particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.

The trampoline recreation and aerobic exercise facility will
not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area
as the facility is located within an area of the City that is
predominantly industrial in nature. Further, improvements
will be made to the site that will bring the site into
compliance with applicable disability act standards. Finally,
conditions have been placed on the project that will mitigate
any negative or adverse impacts created by the use that
could otherwise affect the health, safety, or general welfare
of the surrounding businesses.
3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the present
economic stability or future economic development of properties
surrounding the area.
The proposed use will not adversely affect the economic
stability of the area but will instead identify the site as a
viable site to conduct business. The tenant space was
previously vacant and is proposed to be occupied by a use
that is consistent with the zoning for the property. The reuse
of the site, in conjunction with the improvements that will be
made to the site, will enhance the economic viability of the
area.
4. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and
conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use.
The use will be in compliance with all regulations and
provisions of Chapter 41 (Zoning Code) of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code. Site improvements are proposed to the
parking lot that will bring the site into compliance with the
Zoning Code.
5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the general plan of
the city of any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed
use.
The project will not adversely affect the General Plan as the
proposed use is consistent with Goals 1 and 2 of the Land
Use Element of the General Plan. These goals encourage
uses such as the proposed indoor sports facility that promote
a balance of land uses to address basic community needs,
such as physical activity, and which enhance the City's
economic and fiscal viability. In addition, the project is
consistent with Policy 2.2 of the Land Use Element, which
supports commercial uses that accommodate the City's
needs for goods and services. Furthermore, Policy 2.8 of
the Land Use Element promotes the rehabilitation of
commercial properties, and encourages increased levels of

capital investment. The project will include significant new
investment and tenant improvements to a site that has
remained vacant since the previous tenant relocated from
the site. Finally, Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element
encourages development that is compatible with and
supporting of surrounding land uses. The project will be
located adjacent to one of the region's most significant
corridors, the Costa Mesa Freeway, and conditions of
approval will ensure that its operations will be compatible
with the surrounding properties and businesses.
E. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed
project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15301. This
Class 1 exemption allows the repair, maintenance and permitting of
existing structures that are consistent with the zoning and general plan
designations. The proposed project involves occupying an existing
building with a new tenant, without any square footage addition or building
expansion. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2015 -10
will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after
conducting the public hearing, hereby approves for the property located at 1411 South
Village Way:
Conditional Use Permit No. 2015 -12, as conditioned in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and incorporated herein, to allow an indoor sports facility
in the McFadden Place /Specific Development (SD) No. 85 zoning district.
These decisions are based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing,
which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning Commission Action dated
May 26, 2015, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, all of which are
incorporated herein by this reference.
