Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Amendment Application No.2016-05 has been filed to change the zoning
designation of the parcel located at 2603 South Main Street from General
Commercial (C-2) to the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning designation.
B. On March 27, 2017, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council:
1. Adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2016-05
for the property located at 2603 South Main Street.
2. Approve a conditional use permit as conditioned (No. 2016-44) to
permit a carwash facility and conditional use permit as conditioned
(No. 2017-06) to permit a drive-through service window at 2603
South Main Street.
C. The zoning designation of the Light Industrial (M-1) will allow the subject
site approval of applications for conditional use permits to allow the
development of a carwash facility and a drive-through window service by
bringing the rezoned property into consistency with the General Plan land
use designation of Industrial (IND).
D. The Planning Commission has reviewed applicable general plan policies
and has determined that this proposed rezoning is consistent with the
purpose of the general plan.
E. For these reasons, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2016-

City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity,
convenience, and general welfare.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15303. This Class 3
exemption allows small construction projects or buildings in urban areas up to 10,000
square feet in size, not involving the use of significant amount of hazardous substances
where all necessary public services and facilities are available. The cumulative impact of
this project will not be significant as the use will be complimentary with the nearby
commercial uses in the area. Additionally, it has been identified that the development of
the site will not adversely impact the environment, any designated scenic highways, or
sites which have been identified to contain hazardous waste. Additionally, it was
evaluated that the proposed uses for the site are consistent with both the General
Commercial (C-2) and the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning designation. The amendment
application to change the existing zoning designation to the Light Industrial (M-1) zone
is intended to provide consistency with the General Plan of the city. Categorical
Exemption Environmental Review No. 2015-15 will be filed for this project.
Section 3. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
Section 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana recommends
that the City Council adopt an ordinance rezoning the real property located at 2603
South Main Street from General Commercial (C-2) to Light Industrial (M-1), (AA No. 2016-
05) Amended Sectional District Map number 30-5-9 showing the above described change
in use district designation, is hereby attached hereto as Exhibit "1" and incorporated by this
reference as though fully set forth herein. This recommendation is based upon the
