RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Brodart Company for cataloging services and the
purchase of books and materials for a one-year period in the amount not
to exceed $583,540.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Library has contracted with the Brodart Company for over
ten years for the purchase of books and materials, as well as for
cataloging services. Brodart performs the necessary function of
identifying new books by affixing labels and cataloging in accordance
with Library direction.
Library staff has researched the services provided by the various
cataloging suppliers. As a result, Library staff has determined that
Brodart Company is the sole source provider for cataloging Spanish
language publications. Brodart has performed satisfactorily over the
years, and will continue to provide the City with discounts ranging
from 10-45 percent.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and certify a Negative Declaration for the patricia Lane Scenic
Enhancement project.
DISCUSSION
The City received Transportation Enhancement Activities Federal grant
funding for land acquisition and scenic enhancement of the nine vacant
parcels totaling approximately one-acre bordered by the Interstate-5
freeway, Patricia Lane, Eastside Avenue, and Sixth Street (Exhibit 1).
These parcels were previously purchased by Caltrans to accommodate the
Interstate-5 freeway widening project.
The nine parcels have been purchased from Caltrans and the design for the
scenic enhancement and park site have been completed. The project, when
completed will include site grading, construction of new concrete walkways,
and installation of new block wall, landscaping, irrigation systems, and
playground equipment.
The City is seeking construction authorization from Caltrans in order to
advertise the project. Therefore, the Negative Declaration needs to be
adopted and recorded in order to complete the Caltrans application process.

Analysis of the Issues
In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as the
Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. The agreement
provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a
property tax reduction in exchange to the owner's voluntary commitment
to maintain the property in a good state of repair and to rehabilitate
the property as necessary. Once recorded, the agreement triggers the
use of a different valuation method in determining the property's
assessed value, thereby resulting in potentially significant property
tax savings for the owner.
One of the eligibility requirements for the Mills Act is that the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties. All subj ect properties were placed on the local register
and by the Historic Resources Commission (Exhibits I, 2, 3 and 4) .
Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City
enter into Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Exhibits 5, 6, 7
and 8). A review of the subject properties indicate that these
structures are in good/excellent condition. As a result, a supplemental
property rehabilitation plan will not be required as part of this
agreement. Photos of the property are included with the agreement as
well as a photo location map. The benefits of executing this agreement
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Reduced property tax to allow reinvestment for the long-term
preservation of the property.
2. Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation.
25A-4
HPPA Nos. 2005-03 through 2005-06

3. Provides an additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase
historic structures.
4. Discourages inappropriate alterations to the historic property.
5. Provides an opportunity for visual improvement to the physical
environment of the community.
6. Offers additional support and attention for historic districts and
historic structures in the City.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review. A Notice of Exemption
will be filed for this project.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Prairie School (American Foursquare Variant)
The Prairie School refers to a group of architects centered in Chicago at the beginning of the twentieth century. Primary amongst
them was Frank Lloyd Wright, under whom Prairie School designs reached their apex. Echoing the uninterrupted horizontal lines of
the American prairie, Prairie style homes-it was largely a domestic movement-are usually characterized by broadly pitched hipped
roofs with deep overhangs; two stories in height, often with one story wings; front porches with massive porch roof supports; and
detailing which emphasizes the horizontal. A common, vernacular interpretation of the type, sometimes referred to as the Prairie Box
or the American Foursquare, is box-like in massing and plan, with hipped or gabled dormers, porches across all or a portion of the
fayade, and detailing culled from the vocabularies of a variety of styles, including Mission Revival, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Gustlin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of
the distinguishing characteristics of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style. It also qualifies for the Register under
Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with business or use that was once common, but is now rare, specifically, agriculture.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana
(Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Box-like, two-story massing and a predominantly hipped roof identify this former farmhouse as an example of the American
Foursquare genre. Gables intersect the hip roof on the front and north side elevations. Rafter tails and bargeboards feature
carved ends. The body of the house is sheathed with narrow clapboard, while the gable ends are faced with vertical boards.
A plain frieze board wraps the house beneath the gables, disappearing beneath the overhanging eaves. Spanning the
fa9ade, an attached porch is covered by a shed roof, with a front gable over the north half marking the entry. Added in 2004,
the porch is compatibly designed, with porch posts and brackets, a patterned stick railing, and latticework skirting the
foundation indicating its more recent vintage. In addition to the entry, the porch shelters a large, tripartite window that is
topped by a multi-light transom. Upper story fenestration consists of double-hung windows, arranged singly and in pairs.
Attic windows are located in the gable ends. Molded lintels lend a slightly classical flavor to the window surrounds. A front-
gabled garage, also added in 2004, sits in the rear of the property. Edged at the sidewalk by a non-original but compatible
picket fence, the property is in excellent condition.

The Gustlin House is architecturally significant as a rehabilitated example of the American Foursquare genre popular during
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and historically significant as one of the few surviving farmhouses in Santa
Ana in general and the Floral Park neighborhood in particular. It was built in 1907 by Abraham Gustlin, who moved to Santa
Ana in 1901. Born in 1855 in Illinois and raised in Iowa, Gustlin worked on his father's farm, then labored as a boilermaker for
various railroads before he and his wife Lovina relocated to California. They raised walnuts on their four-acre property on
Greenleaf, where they built the third or fourth house on the street. Their son, Clarence, and later his wife, Velda, shared the

home. An accomplished musician trained in Berlin and Florence, Clarence was variously listed in the city directories as a
pianist, music teacher, and director of the Orange County Conservatory of Music at 816 North Main Street. Around 1916,
Clarence and Velda moved to the Main Street address. Abraham Gustlin retired in 1920, and purchased the Taylor House at
427 Edgewood Road (now 2520 North Valencia Street), where he lived and continued to raise walnuts on one acre. He left
his younger son, Walter, in residence at the ranch on Greenleaf. Walter and Evelyn Gustlin only lived on the property until
1925, during which time Walter held a number of jobs, including rancher, builder, and salesman.
Between 1925 and 1952, the house apparently changed owners and occupants numerous times. During this period,
Greenleaf Street also assumed its present appearance, mushrooming from an agricultural avenue with less than ten homes to
a fully developed street of more than sixty residences by the end of the 1930s. Beginning in 1952 and continuing for the next
52 years, Gerould Smith owned the property. Initially listed in the city directories as a chemist with the Union Oil Company in
Brea, Smith was subsequently a teacher at Santa Ana COllege. He occupied the house with his wife, Mary.
The Gustlin House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by East Seventeenth
Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered
ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the
subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922
(Talbert, pages 353-356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he
began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange Countv Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the
Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. 'When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes
were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Oranae Countv Register, September 15,
1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park
showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer
Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the EI
T oro Marine Base during World War 1/, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped
to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War 1/ years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In
the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2003) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Gustlin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification
of the distinguishing characteristics of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style. Notable in this regard are the
hipped roof, box-like proportions, and details such as exposed rafters and classical window surrounds that are derived from
the Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles, respectively. It also qualifies for the Register under Criterion 7, as a building that
was connected with business or use that was once common, but is now rare, specifically, agriculture. Additionally, the house
has been categorized as "Landmark" for its historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana due to its association with
Abraham Gustlin and the once common agricultural use. All original and restored exterior features of the Gustlin House are
considered character-defining and should be preserved, including, but not limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration
and detailing; massing; windows and doors; bays; architectural details such as the frieze board, window surrounds,
bargeboards, and rafter tails; and original landscape features such as fruit trees.

Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman
magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and
Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of
form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new
appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious
porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped
roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of
stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly
proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The McClain House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a bungalow with the
distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it
"contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact and representative example of a Craftsman bungalow,
"is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

A high degree of integrity characterizes this one and a half story Craftsman bungalow. Clad in medium clapboard, the house
is capped by a side gable roof. Centered over the fayade, a large, shed-roofed dormer contains a band of three windows.
Rafters are exposed in the eaves of the dormer and braces are visible in the gable ends. The lower portion of the roof over
the fayade has a more shallow pitch than the upper section. Beneath it, a recessed front porch occupies the northern two
bays of the three-bay fayade. The entry, with a typical, tapered, Craftsman surround, occupies the center bay while a pair of
double-hung windows overlook the porch. An 'X" patterned railing and clapboard covered piers define the porch space. The
south bay contains a band of three double-hung sash windows. Other features of the design include an interior brick chimney
that appears to have been rebuilt and a row of purlins in the gable face, both visible on the south elevation. No major
alterations were noted from the street, although the wood shingle roof has been replaced and the rafter tails may have been
cut off to accommodate a gutter.

The McClain House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a one-story Craftsman bungalow.
According to the current (2004) owner, Donald Alan Nelson, it was constructed between January and July of 1908, and an
improvement was first assessed on the property in July 1908. The first listing in the city directories occurred in the 1910
edition, when William H. and Edna McClain were the residents. Mr. McClain worked as a clerk with the Griffith Lumber
Company.

*810. Significance (continued):
The McClain House is located in an area north of the original core of Santa Ana and which is now known as the Santa Ana
Triangle neighborhood. Bordered by East Santa Clara Avenue on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south,
Interstate 5 on the east and the east side of North Main Street on the west, this neighborhood was initially developed
between 1905 and 1910. In 1905, the city directories listed only two residences on Bush Street north of Seventeenth (1901
and 2073), several homes on Main Street which appeared to be primarily on the west side, and no houses on either
Spurgeon or French Streets north of Seventeenth. By 1911, the directories indicated that over two dozen homes were
occupied on North Bush Street alone. This pattern of development is illustrated in the 1912 plat book, which mapped the
lots of the Main Street Tract and the Piley Addition on these streets, in marked contrast to the large agricultural holdings of
the adjacent Park Santiago neighborhood.
The McClain House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a bungalow
with the distinguishing characteristics ofthe Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"
because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact and representative example of a
Craftsman bungalow, ''is a good example of period architecture." The bungalow incorporates the horizontal emphasis,
redwood construction, front porch, and architectural detailing typical of the Craftsman style. It possesses a high degree of
integrity on both the exterior and interior, including original cabinets and a "California Cooler" in the kitchen. Character-
defining exterior features of the McClain House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: siding
(clapboard) and materials (brick); roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; porch configuration and
detailing; brick chimney; and architectural details (such as the window and door surrounds, porch railing, roof braces, and
pur/ins).

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables;
decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick
chimneys; and picturesque windows ofleaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival
were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern
California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style
also occur. Born in the late nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most
popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Bulpitt House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of
the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its
unique architectural significance as one of the best examples of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2).

Located on a double lot at the south end of North Heliotrope Drive, this two-story residence is a remarkable example of the
Tudor Revival style. Sheathed in stucco, the house is topped by steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof covered in heavy shakes.
Hip-roofed dormers and tall, brick double chimneys add to complexity of the roofline. Decorative half-timbering and areas of
randomly laid rock and brick embellish the exterior surfaces. The house is asymmetrically composed, with a two-story, front-
gabled projecting wing towards the south end of the fagade. The north rake of the front gable extends in a long, unbroken
line nearly to the ground while the south rake is interrupted in two places. An oriel window of copper and diamond-paned
leaded glass accents the center of the front gable face. The lower story contains a triple casement window and a single
casement window, both also glazed with diamond-paned leaded glass and flanked by shutters. Elevated three steps above
ground level, the entry is recessed within a vestibule. The opening features a molded surround, has a segmental arch head,
and is enhanced by a label molding and heraldic shields. The paneled wood door is also arched. North of the entry wing, the

The Bulpitt House is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of the Tudor Revival style. The house and garage
were built in 1935 for John N. Bullpitt, and were valued at $8,500 at the time. Both John Bulpitt and his wife, Zoe Nightingale
Bulpitt, were physicians. They met at school, and settled in Santa Ana in 1923. Dr. John Bulpitt was known for his work with
tuberculosis, while Dr. Zoe Bulpitt specialized in obstetrics, gynecology, and urology. Their offices were located at 1415 North
Broadway. According to the building permit files, the Bulpitts still owned the house in the 1950s.

doors, the house appears to be substantially unaltered. A large magnolia tree shades the front lawn.
*810. Significance (continued):
The Bulpitt House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by East Seventeenth
Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered
ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the
subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922
(Talbert, pages 353-356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month,
he began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became
the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. 'When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park
homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Reaister,
September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and
Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison
Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City
Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War /I, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he
had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War /I years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style.
In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2003) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Bulpitt House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification
of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. The design offers a virtual catalog of features associated with
the style. It is picturesque and suggestive of home in the medieval English countryside, complete with cottage-like windows,
a Gothic-inspired entry, and multiple chimneys. The house also contributes to the historic character of Floral Park through its
age, style, scale, and historic association with members of the local professional community. Additionally, the house has
been categorized as "Landmark" for its unique architectural significance as one of the best examples of the Tudor Revival
style in Santa Ana. All original and restored exterior features of the Bulpitt House are considered character-defining and
should be preserved, including, but not limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration, materials, and detailing;
massing; windows and doors; dormers; bays; chimneys; architectural details such as half-timbering, label molding and
shields, lighting, etc.); porte cochere; garage; and original landscape features such as the magnolia tree.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
DESCRIPTlON/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by the
Craftsman (magazine) and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of
Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed
honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A
new appreciation of nature was evident in horizonta1lines, which reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of
capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low-pitched gable and
hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive
use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and
broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early
1920s.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
This one and a half-story Craftsman house has many details that are typical of its style. Rectangular in plan, the house has a side gable
roof with projecting gable dormers. The roof displays exposed rafter tails, decorative brackets, verge boards and bracing in the gable
ends. The half-width covered front porch has battered porch posts with a sawn balustrade rail. The house is clad in horizontal wood
board siding with a stone foundation, and the primary window type is double hung wood sash with simple surrounds and shutters (a
latter addition). Visible alterations include several aluminum sliding sash windows, as well as a rear second floor balcony addition.
The house is in excellent condition, and retains good integrity.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
Constructed in 1911, this house was originally owned by the Weissman family, prominent local merchants. It was purchased around
1917 by the Kredels (Les). By 1924, Alvernis and Nora Flagg owned the house and began the fIrst of many years of residence.
Alvernis Flagg was the proprietor of the Flagg Printing Company, a fIxture of the Santa Ana business scene for over fIfty years.
Ownership information reflects that the Flaggs no longer reside at this address.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defmed by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the
Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities
in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing through the
first three decades of the 20th century, Broadway emerged as a prominent residential corridor and was eventually lined by comfortably
scaled homes shaded by rows of street trees.
The house is locally significant as a very well articulated example of residential Craftsman architecture, retaining sufficient integrity to
convey its original style and period of construction. It is also historically noteworthy for its association with the Weissman and the
Flagg families. Character-defming exterior features of the house which should be preserved include, but are not limited to: roof
configuration and detailing (verge boards, brackets, stickwork, rafter tails, latticework); stone and wood exterior cladding; porch
configuration and posts; and original fenestration where extant.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This property is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. The Weissman-Flagg House has been categorized as
"Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Craftsman style, which was highly influential
during the first quarter of the twentieth century and, as the home of the Weissmans and then the Flaggs, "is associated with a
significant person or event in the City of Santa Ana" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.

history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alternations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with
25A-31
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conj ectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alternations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be
cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced
within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by the Owner),

Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the

for the maintenance and service of underground fuel storage tanks for an
additional $16,294.54 for a total aggregate amount not to exceed
$36,139.54.
DISCUSSION
In November 2004, the City Council approved an annual agreement with
Pacific System Electric for the preventive maintenance for the City's
underground fuel storage tanks. The tanks are located at the Police
Building site, the Corporation Yard, and the Fire Department's Stations #1,
#4 and #5. Preventive maintenance, which is required by the State of
California, Water Resources Control Board consists of a visual inspection
of the underground storage tanks of at least once a month by a certified
technician. It also includes a review of the alarm history, paper work
documentation, and employee training.
However, adoption of Senate Bill 989 now requires testing of the
underground storage tanks secondary containment enclosure. Testing will be
required every three years. In addition to the testing, the agreement
amendment will also include upgrades to the controls system of the Police
Department's underground tanks. The recommended action will ensure
compliance with the new regulations.

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Rio Vista West, LLC is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
allow drive-though window service and the modification of an existing
parking variance to allow the construction of two new restaurant pads at
3770 West McFadden Avenue.
Property Description
The property is an II-acre, rectangular shaped parcel located at the
southeast corner of Harbor Boulevard and McFadden Avenue. The site is
located within the North Harbor Specific Plan (SP-2) zoning district and
has a General Plan designation of General Commercial (GC). Surrounding
uses include commercial, retail and a school to the north, single-family
residential to the south, and commercial uses to the east and west
(Exhibits 1 and 2) .

parcels containing
leasable square feet
large anchor tenant,
feet of retail space
site. Parking for
tenant, with a total
Marketplace lS comprised of five separate legal
nine building pads with approximately 135,000
of retail space that was constructed in 1995. A
Wal-Mart, occupies an additional 134,000 square
on a separate parcel to the east of the proj ect
the development site is shared with the anchor
of 1,324 parking spaces provided.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to construct a 1,750 square foot Starbucks drive-
through restaurant along Harbor Boulevard between Buildings Hand J and a
4,000 square foot sit-down restaurant pad along McFadden Avenue between
Buildings Land K. In conjunction with the new restaurant construction,
the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow drive-
through window service for the proposed Starbucks restaurant. As required
by code, an 80-foot separation between the pick-up window and the order
board and another 80-foot separation between the order board and the
entrance to the drive-through lane has been provided (Exhibits 3, 4, 5, 6
and 7) .
Additionally, the applicant is requesting approval of a variance from
Section 41-1341 to allow a reduction in required parking for the two
proposed building pads. An amendment to an existing variance approved in
1995 is requested in order allow for an 11 percent (157 parking spaces)
reduction, as the original variance allowed for only a seven percent
parking reduction.
Analysis of the Issues
Drive-Through Window Service
Drive-through window service lS considered a critical operational
component of a quick serve restaurant according to this applicant. The
conditional use permit has been reviewed based on the criteria
established by the City and has been found to be consistent with the
operational standards for drive-through establishments. To avoid impact
to the health, safety and general welfare of persons working or residing
in the area, numerous mitigation measures have been incorporated into
this project. The existing on-site circulation system has been designed
to avoid conflicts between vehicles in the parking area and the drive-
through lane. Also, the ability for cars to stack onto Harbor Boulevard
or McFadden Avenue has been eliminated through the location and design
of the proposed stacking lane.

Parking Variance
To assist in the development of a successful retail center I a revision
to the parking variance approved in 1995 is being requested by the
applicant. In 1995, a seven percent (95 parking spaces) reduction was
approved. The applicant is requesting an additional 5/750 square feet
of retail area resulting in a greater parking demand of 56 spaces.
Based on the Cityls code requirements, a total of 1/479 parking spaces
will be required for the retail center I including the proposed dri ve-
through and sit-down restaurant pads. A total of 1/324 spaces are
provided. A deficiency of 157 parking spaces is the result. This
request would equate to an 11 percent reduction of parking.
In order to analyze whether the existing parking count would be adequate
to support the proposed expansion, a parking analysis was prepared for the
project by Douglas MacPhersonl a registered traffic engineer. The Shared
Parking Analysis for the Riverview West Marketplace provides an analysis
of the parking demand based on the different activity patterns and uses
within the center. It reviewed the Cityls parking requirement for retail
and restaurant uses and proposed an al ternati ve demand based on other
parking generation factors and/or actual parking usage. Two methodologies
were used while conducting the parking analysis. The first methodology
was the Urban Land Institute (ULI) shared parking concept (Tables 1 and 2)
and the second combined actual parking lot counts for the existing land
uses plus the proposed land uses per the actual code requirements (Tables
3, 4 and 5) Both methodologies concluded that sufficient parking was
provided to meet the peak parking demands of the shopping center. The
study found that the existing 1,324 parking spaces available wi thin the
Riverview West Marketplace are sufficient to accommodate future parking
demand (Exhibit 8).
The variance modification will allow two new buildings in underutilized
areas of the shopping center that will benefit the community by
providing an increased level of service to individuals who live and work
in the area. This new development will facilitate the revitalization of
the North Harbor areal as per the goals established within the North
Harbor Specific Plan. As a result, based on the analysis of the project
and the project's compatibility with the City's General Plan and
applicable development standards I approval is recommended for
Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-21 and modification to Variance No.

Variance Amendment No. 1995-09
August 8, 2005
Page 1 of 2
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is
found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
Chapter.
The Ri verview West Marketplace is a contained site surrounded
by existing commercial development. The shared parking
analysis, prepared by Douglas MacPherson, Traffic Engineer, has
determined that sufficient parking will be provided for the
proj ect during times of peak demand. The variance will allow
the applicant the ability to use the property in a manner that
is consistent with similar surrounding commercial uses.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The granting of the variance will preserve the owner's ability
to provide new development within an underutilized shopping
center. The proposed tenants will bring additional revenue and
clientele to the existing shopping center and will not create
any encumbrances to property rights.
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property
because the proposed tenant pads are within an existing
shopping center that will not generate additional operational
impacts to the surrounding areas. A mitigated negative
declaration was prepared which incorporated various mitigation
measures to ensure that any impacts are reduced to below any
level of significance.

Proposed Project
The proposed project involves the construction of two
restaurants, a Starbuck coffee shop and spec restaurant
building. In conjunction with the construction of the
Starbuck restaurant, the applicant is requesting approval
of a conditional use permit to allow drive through window
service. Additionally, the applicant is requesting approval
of a variance to allow a reduction in required parking for
the two proposed restaurants.
Setting
The project sites are two building sites located within the
ii-acre Riverview West Market Place near the intersection
of McFadden Avenue and Harbor Boulevard. The Riverview West
Marketplace is an existing commercial center consisting of
approximately 270,000 square feet of commercial retail
area. The proposed Starbuck restaurant would be constructed
between two existing restaurant pads along Harbor
Boulevard. The other proposed restaurant would be
constructed between two existing restaurant pads along
Edinger Avenue.

The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow
for 157 parking space reduction to the existing center to
allow for the construction of the two restaurants.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The following is an environmental analysis on the proposed
project based on the City of Santa Ana CEQA Environmental
Checklist Form. The analysis incorporates by reference the
analysis and findings provided in the City of Santa Ana
General Plan Land Use Element EIR. For each environmental
issue, the analysis identifies the level of impact that is
anticipated to occur. Where applicable, mitigation measures
have been identified to reduce potentially significant
impacts.
I . AESTHETICS
A. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
B. Damage scenic resources, including but not limited to
trees, rock outpourings and historic buildings within
a State highway?
No Impact
According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR,
the project site is void of any scenic vistas or scenic
resources. Additionally, there are no scenic resources
associated with a State Highway within the vicinity of the
project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed
project would not result in adverse impacts to any scenic
resource.
C. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and it's surrounding?
Less Than Significant Impact
The project site is located within the North Harbor
Specific Plan and subject to the specific plan design
guidelines. The Specific Plan establishes design guidelines
to guide the development of projects within the specific
plan area. Through the City's site plan review process the
proposed project has been determined to be consistent with
the design guidelines in the North Harbor Specific Plan.
Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not
2
31A-26
degrade the existing visual character of the project site
or the surrounding area.
D. Create a new source of substantial light or glare,
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in
the area?
Less Than Significant Impact
The project site is currently improved with existing on-
street lighting. Implementation of the proposed project
would not introduce substantial new sources of light and
glare into the project area.
II . AGRICULTURE
A. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of
Statewide Importance to non-agriculture use?
B. Conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use or a
Williamson Contract?
C. Involve other changes in the existing environment,
which, due to their loca tion or na ture, could
individually or cumulatively result in loss of
Farmland, to non-agriculture use?
No Impact
According to the California Department of Conservation
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the project site
does not contain Unique Farmlands, Prime Farmlands or
Farmlands of Statewide Importance. Based on the City's
General Plan, the project site is not planned for
agricultural uses. Additionally, the project site is not
included within any existing Williamson Contracts. A site
visit conducted by the City's Environmental Coordinator
confirmed the project site is currently not in agriculture
production. Therefore, implementation of the proposed
project would not result in adverse impacts to any
agriculture resources.
III. AIR QUALITY
A. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable
Air Quality Attainment Plan or congestion Management
Plan?
3
31A-27
Less Than Significant Impact
The project site is located within the South Coast Air
Basin and subject to the requirements of the Clear Air Act
at both the Federal and State level, as implemented by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District. The South
Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) is the primary
planning document to monitor if air quality standards and
objectives are being achieved in the South Coast Air Basin.
The air quality objectives in the AQMP are based upon
population and growth projections provided in regional
planning programs and local general plans. A project could
be in conflict with the AQMP if it results in population
and growth impacts beyond those identified in regional
planning programs and/or local general plans.
The proposed proj ect is consistent with the General Plan.
Implementation of the proposed project would not exceed the
population and traffic growth projections in the General
Plan. The proposed project would be considered to be
consistent with the regional and local growth proj ections
and would not be in conflict with the air quality
objectives established in the South Coast Air Quality
Management Plan.
B. Violate any stationary source air quality standard or
contribute to an existing or proposed air quality
violation?
Less Than Significant Impact
As mentioned previously, the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) regulates air quality in the
South Coast Air Basin. The South Coast Air Basin is
currently a non-attainment area for carbon monoxide, ozone,
and particulate matter. The SCAQMD considers an air quality
impact to be significant if it exceeds the thresholds
identified in Table AQ-l.

Long-term Operational Air Quality Impacts
The primary source of long-term operational emissions
associated with the proposed project would be generated by
vehicle travel to and from the proj ect site. A relatively
minor amount of gaseous emissions would also occur from
natural gas and electricity usage. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan. The long-term operational
emissions generated by the proposed project are consistent
with the alr pollutant emission projections within the
General Plan Land Use Element EIR. Implementation of the
proposed project would not result in additional air
pollutant emissions that would exceed air pollutant
emission projections evaluated within the General Plan Land
Use Element EIR.
Short-term constructed Related Air Quality Impacts
Construction operations associated with the proposed
project could potentially result in short-term increases in
particulate mater, and to a lesser degree increases in
carbon monoxide and ozone. Peak day construction emissions
for most pollutants arising from construction of the
proposed project would occur during the grading and
excavation phases.
Using the South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA
Air Quality Handbook as a guideline, the threshold for
potentially significant short-term air quality impacts
would involve the grading of 1,309,000 square feet of area.
Assuming grading of the entire project site, approximately
6,000 square feet of area would be graded. The proposed
gradlng would be conslderably less than the threshold of
significance established by the CEQA Air Quality Handbook.
To minimize dust impacts during construction, the proposed
proj ect would be required to comply with SCAQMD Fugi ti ve
Dust Rule 403 to suppress dust generated by construction
operations.
5
31A-29
C. Resul t in a cumula ti vely considerable net increase of
any criteria pollutant for which the
non-attainment under an applicable
ambient air quality standard?
project region is
federal or state
Less Than Significant Impact
The proposed proj ect would be consistent with the City's
General Plan and the local growth forecasts for the Orange
County sub region and regional emissions budget developed
by the Southern California Association of Governments for
the 1999 Air Quality Management Plan. SCAG has determined
that the air pollution impacts of any project that conforms
to local growth forecasts would be consistent with this
forecast and the regional air quality impacts would be
adequately mitigated by the Plan to a level considered less
than significant.
D. Expose Sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
Less Than Significant Impact
Implementation of the proposed project would not exceed the
South Coast Air Quality Management District threshold for
potentially significant long-term or short-term air quality
impacts. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project
would not expose sensitive receptors to any substantial
concentrations of air quality pollutants.
E. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number
of people?
Less Than Significant Impact
The long-term operation of the proposed proj ect would not
generate significant objectionable odors to the public.
Short-term construction operations could emit objectionable
odors. However, they would be short-term and would not be
considered significant.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
A. Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or
through habitat modifications, on any species identified
as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in
local or regional plans, policies or regulations or by
6
31A-30
the California Department of Fish and game or U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Services?
B. Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat
or natural community identified in local or regional
plans, policies, and regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and game or U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
C. Adversely impact federally protected wetlands either
individually or in combination with the known or probable
impacts of other activities through direct removal,
filling hydrological interruption, or other means?
D. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or
ordinance?
No Impact
The project site is situated within an urban setting.
According to the California Department of Fish and Game
Natural Diversity Data Base and the City's Updated General
Plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no sensi ti ve
biological resources located on or within the nearby
vicinity of the project site. Therefore, implementation of
the proposed project would not result in any adverse
impacts to any onsite sensitive biological resources.
v. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource as defined in Section
15064.5?
No Impact
According to the Santa Ana Local Register of
Structures and the Federal Register of
Structures, there are no historically significant

structures
B. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance
of a unique archaeological resource pursuant to
Section 15064.5?
C. Directly or indirectly disturb or destroy a unique
paleontogical resource or site?
7
31A-31
D. Disturb any human remains, including those interred
outside of formal cemeteries.
Less Than Significant Impact
According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR
there are no known cultural resources on the project site.
The project site is currently improved. The probability for
the discovery of unknown cultural resources during
construction operations would be low.
VI. GEOLOGY/SOILS
A-l. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on
the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning
Map issued by the State geologist for the area or
based on other substantial evidence of a known fault?
No Impact
According to the Seismic Hazard Zone Map, the proj ect site
is not located within a current Alquist-Priolo Earthquake
Faul t Zone for fault surface rupture hazard. The surface
traces of any active or potentially active faults are not
known to pass directly through or extend towards the project
si te. Therefore, the potential for surface rupture due to
faul ting occurring beneath the site during the design life
of the proposed project is considered low.
A-2. Strong Seismic Ground shaking?
Less Than Significant Impact
The project site is situated within a highly active seismic
region of southern California. A total of 38 active faults
have been identified wi thin an approximate 60-mile radius
of the proj ect site. The Newport/Inglewood Fault located
approximately 13 miles south from the City of Santa Ana is
considered to be one of the most dominant faults in regard
to potential seismic shaking impacts. The project site
could potentially be subj ect to a maximum credible
horizontal ground acceleration of O. 30g from a magnitude
6.9 earthquake along the Newport/Inglewood fault zone. A
seismic event of this scale could potentially result
significant damage to the proposed proj ect. However, the
seismic risks at the proj ect site would not be considered
significantly different from other areas in the southern
8
31A-32
California region. Through the City's development review
process, the proposed project would be required to prepare
a site-specific geologic study that addresses the seismic
constraints on the project site and the building load
requirements of the project. Additionally, the proposed
project would be subject to the seismic safety standards of
the Uniform Building Code. Preparation of the geologic
study and compliance with the Uniform Building Code would
reduce potential seismic hazard impacts to a level
considered less than significant.
A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including
liquefaction?
Less Than Significant Impact
Soil liquefaction occurs when loose soil deposits below the
water table are subjected to large ground accelerations
generated from seismic events. Liquefaction is generally
known to occur in saturated cohesionless soils at depths
shallower than about 50-feet.
According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR,
the proj ect site is considered to have High to Very High
potential for liquefaction hazard impacts. Through the
City's development review process, the proposed project
would be required to prepare a site-specific geotechnical
study that addresses the liquefaction constraints on the
project site and the building load requirements of the
project. Additionally, the proposed project would be
subject to the seismic safety standards of the Uniform
Building Code. Preparation of the site-specific
geotechnical report and compliance with the Uniform
Building Code would reduce potential liquefaction hazard
impacts to a level considered less than significant.
A-4. Landslides
No Impact
The project area lS flat without any topographical relief.
According to City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR,
there are no landslide planes or slopes on the project
site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project
would not result ln adverse impacts in regards to
landslides.
9
31A-33
B. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion
or the loss of topsoil?
Less Than Significant Impact
Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock
surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are
intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of
runoff channels and by the removal of groundcover, which
leaves the soil exposed.
Construction operations for the proposed project would
require the demolition, clearing, excavation, and grading
of onsite soils. The uncovered soils on the project site
could potentially result in erosion and sedimentation
impacts to onsite and offsite drainage facilities. This
potential impact could increase during periods of rain. To
reduce potential erosion impacts to a level considered less
than significant, the project would be required to comply
with the City's NPDES requirements for construction
activity.
C. Would the project result in the loss of a unique
geological feature?
No Impact
According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR
the proposed proj ect does not contain any unique geologic
features. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project
would not result in adverse impacts to any unique geologic
feature.
D. In the project located on strata or soil that is
unstable or that would become unstable as a result of
the project and potentially result in on-or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction
or collapse?
Less Than Significant Impact
According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR
the project site consists of Metz Loamy Sand Soils that
have low shrink/swell potential, high potential for
corrosion of uncoated steel and high potential for
corrosion of concrete. Through the City's development
review process, the proposed project would required to
10
31A-34
prepare a geotechnical report that address and identifies
the geologic conditions on the project site, building load
requirements of the project and design recommendations to
ensure the geologic stability of the project.
E.
Where sewers are
wastewater is the
of septic tanks
systems?
not available for the disposal of
soil capable of supporting the use
or alternative wastewater disposal
No Impact
The project site is located within urban setting where
sewer service is available. The proposed project would not
require septic tanks or alternative disposal systems.
VII. HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
A. Create a significant hazard to
environment through the routine
disposal of hazardous materials?
the public
transport,
or the
use or
B. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely
hazardous materials, substance or waste within one-
quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
Less than Significant Impact
The operation of the proposed project would not involve the
routine transportation, handling or storage of large
quantities of hazardous materials or waste or the emission
of hazardous emissions. The long-term operation and
construction operations associated with the proposed
project could potentially involve the handling of
incidental amounts of hazardous materials, such as
solvents, oils, and paints. However, the quantities would
be minimal and would not pose a hazard to the public.
C. Be located on a site which is located on a list of
hazardous material sites compiles pursuant to
Government Code Section 659662.5 and, as a result,
would it create a significant hazard to the public or
the environment?
No Impact
According to the Santa Ana Fire Department and the State
11
31A-35
Regional Water Quality Board the project site lS not a
hazardous waste site.
D. For a project located within an airport land use plan
or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two
miles where a public airport or public use airport,
would the project result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area?
No Impact
According to the Orange County Airport Environs Land Use
Plan, the project site is not located within an accident
potential zone, clear zone or FAA Notification Area.
Implementation of the proposed project would not pose a
hazard to people working or residing within the project
area.
VIII. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY
A. Violate Regional Water Quality Control Board water
quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
I. Resulting an increase in pollutant discharges to
receiving waters?
J. Result in significant alteration of receiving water
quality during or fOllowing,construction.
E. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
K. Could the proposed project result in increased erosion
downstream?
N. Tributary to an already impaired water body, as listed
on the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list. If so, can
it result in an increase in any pollutant of which the
body is already impaired?
O. Tributary to other environmentally sensitive areas? If
so, can it exacerbate already existing sensitive
conditions?
P. Have a potentially significant environmental impact or
surface water quality to either marine, fresh or
wetland waters?
12
31A-36
R. Cause or contribute to an exceedance of applicable
surface or groundwater receiving water quality
objectives or degradation of beneficial uses?
S. Impact aquatic, wetland or riparian habitat?
Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated
The City of Santa Ana is included within four watersheds,
San Diego Creek, Santa Ana River, Talbert and Westminster.
Each of these watershed areas are under the jurisdiction of
the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and
subject to the objectives, water quality standards and Best
Management Practice requirements established in the Santa
Ana River Basin Plan and Orange County Drainage Area
Management Plan. The City of Santa Ana implements the
goals, objectives and requirements of the Basin Plan and
Drainage Area Management Plan through the City's Local
Implementation Plan.
The project sites storm water flows would be conveyed
southerly along an underground storm drain along Harbor
Boulevard to the Santa Ana River before ultimately
discharging into the Pacific Ocean. The Santa Ana Regional
Water Quality Control Board has identified the mouth of the
Santa Ana River at the Pacific Ocean as an impaired water
body.
Short-Term Construction Related Water Quality Impacts
During construction operations there is the potential that
surface water runoff could be degraded. If the degraded
surface water runoff is conveyed into the local storm drain
system, potential adverse water quality impacts could occur
to downstream receiving waters. To minimize potential
construction related water quality impacts, the proposed
project would be required to prepare and implement a storm
water pollution prevention plan.
Long Term Operational Water Quality Impacts
The primary concern for water quality pollutants associated
wi th the operation of the proposed proj ect would be from
urban runoff. Urban runoff is defined as runoff that occurs
during periods that are not usually associated with
rainfall, and are most commonly produced from landscaping
13
31A-37
irrigation, leaking pipes, and water used to wash off
surfaces tributary to the street. Since urban runoff
usually originates in the street, they commonly contain
many common pollutants found in streets such as oil and
grease and sediment. Additionally, adverse water quality
impacts could occur from rain events when sediment, grease
and oil on roadways and parking lots are flushed into the
local storm drain system. Currently, the project site does
not contain any structural Best Management Practices, which
would potentially decrease the amounts of pollutants from
entering the storm drain system. Uncontrolled urban runoff
generated from the proj ect site could result in adverse
water quality impacts to downstream receiving waters.
The proposed project involves the development of restaurant
uses on the proj ect site. Commercial kitchens could
potentially produce grease as a by-product of their
operation. If not properly disposed of, the grease could
potentially create blockage of sewer lines, which could
result in damages to both public and private property and
potentially resulting in adverse water quality impacts. Such
impacts could potentially be in conflict with water quality
standards established by the State Regional Water Quality
Control Board. To reduce potential water quality impacts to
a level considered less than significant the following
mitigation measure shall be implemented.
Mitigation Measure
· Prior to the issuance of a grading permit the
applicant shall submit and have approved a surface
drainage/utility plan that depicts all applicable Site

B. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such
that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or
a lowering of the local groundwater table level.
Q. Have a potentially significant adverse ~pact on
groundwater quality?
No Impact
Construction operations for the proposed project would not
require de-watering activities. The long-term operation of
the proposed project would not have any impact on
groundwater supplies. Additionally, the proposed project
would not interfere with ground water recharge because the
site is not located in an area that is known to recharge
the ground water system.
c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the
site or area, including through the alteration of the
course of stream or river, or substantially increase the
rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would
result in flooding on or off-site?
D. Create or contribute runoff water which, would exceed the
capacity of existing or planned stor.m water drainage
systems or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted run-off?
L. Result in increased impervious surfaces and associated
runoff?
15
31A-39
M. Create a significant adverse environmental impact to
drainage patterns due to changes in runoff flow rates or
volumes.
Less Than Significant Impact
The project site is located within an urbanized area with
improved drainage facilities. Based on preliminary analysis
of drainage conditions and facilities on the project site
and surrounding area, the City's Public Works Department
has indicated that it is feasible that existing drainage
facilities within the project area would be able to
adequately drain the proposed project. However, to help
address cumulative drainage impacts in the project area,
the proposed project would be subject to Drainage
Assessment Fees.
F. Place housing within a 100-year floodplain, as mapped
on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance
Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
G. Place housing within a 100-year floodplain, as mapped
on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance
Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map?
H. Place within a 100-year floodplain structures which
would impede or redirect flood flows?

E. Result in inadequate emergency access
Less Than Significant Impact
As part of the City's development review process, the Fire
Department has reviewed the proposed project for potential
impacts in regards to emergency access. The Fire Department
has determined that adequate emergency access would be
provided.
F. Result in inadequate parking capacity
Less Than Significant Impact
The proposed project is requesting approval of a variance
to reduce the required parking for the two restaurant uses.
Based on the City's parking requirements a total of 1,479
parking spaces are required for the Riverview West Market
place. In 1995 a seven percent parking reduction variance
was approved for the Riverview West Market Place. The
construction of the two restaurants would result in the
loss of 34 parking spaces. With the loss of this parking
the overall parking requirement for the center would be
reduced by 11 percent.
In order to analyze whether or not the existing amount of
parking at the Riverview West Market Place would be
adequate to support the proposed project, a parking
analysis was prepared. The study uses the Urban Land
Institute Shared parking Methodology to determine the
availability of parking at various times of the day and
evening. The analysis determined that sufficient on-site
parking would be available to support the existing and
proposed land uses. Therefore, implementation of the
proposed project would not result inadequate parking
capacity.
G. Conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative

significant environmental effects?
E. Result in the determination by the wastewater treatment
provider, which serves or may serve the project that it
has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected
demand in addition to the providers existing commitments.
Less Than Significant Impact
The City of Santa Ana and/or the Orange County Sanitation
District would provide wastewater service to the project
site. The treatment of wastewater would be provided at
Reclamation Plant 1 in the City of Fountain Valley. The
proposed project would be required to provide appropriate
sewer connection fees. The proposed project would not
significantly increase the demand for additional wastewater
facilities.
C. Require or result in the construction of new storm
water drainage facilities or expansion of existing
facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant effects.
Less Than Significant Impact
The project site is situated within an area that is
currently improved with drainage facilities. Implementation
of the proposed project would not significantly increase
the amount of surface water runoff generated from the
project site. Implementation of the proposed project would
not require the construction of new drainage facilities
that would impact the environment.
D. Are sufficient water supplies available to serve the
project from existing entitlements and resources or
are new or expanded entitlements needed?
24
31A-48
Less Than Significant Impact
The proposed project would not significantly increase the
demand for water service over current levels water demand
within the project area. The proposed project is consistent
with the City's Urban Water Management Plan. Through the
City's development review process, the Public Works
Department has indicated that the City would have the
ability to provide adequate water service to the project
site. No adverse impacts in regards to the provision of
adequate water service would be associated with the
proposed project.
F. Is the project served by a landfill with sufficient
permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid
waste disposal needs?
G. Comply with federal, state and local statutes and
regulations related to solid waste?
Less Than Significant Impact
The City of Santa Ana would provide solid waste disposal
service for the proposed project. The proposed project
would not significantly increase the demand for solid waste
disposal over current levels of demand within the project
area. Additionally, the City has adopted a Source Reduction
and Recycling Element, which, contains programs to reduce
the City's overall demand for solid waste disposal. No
significant adverse impacts would be associated with
providing solid waste disposal service for the proposed
project.
XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE

Implementation of the proposed project would not result in
significant cumulative impacts. The proj ect' s incremental
contribution would not be cumulatively considerable because
the proposed project would comply with the applicable
requirements of the uniform building code, conditions of
approval, mitigation measures and applicable City
Ordinances, which provide specific requirements that would
avoid any significant cumulative impacts within the project
area.
C. Does the project have environmental effects, which
will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings
either directly or indirectly?
Less Than Significant Impact
The proposed project involves the construction and
operation of a restaurant use. The project would not have
any direct or indirect adverse impacts on human beings.
Mitigation measures have been required for the construction
and operation of the proposed project to insure that the
project would not have a direct or indirect adverse
significant impact to human beings or the environment.
XVIII DETERMINATION
Based upon the evidence in light of the whole record
documented in the above environmental evaluation and cited
references, I find that the proposed project could not have
a significant effect on the environment and a Mitigated
Negative Declaration has been prepared.

Environmental Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation, I find that:
A. D
The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
B. J(
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant
effect in this case because revisions to the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
c. D
The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
D. D
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR (EIR No. -) pursuant to applicable
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the project, nothing further is required.
E. D
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines. an EIR (EIR No. - ) has been prepared earlier and only
minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the previous EIR adequate and these changes do
not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment. An ADDENDUM to the EIR
shall be prepared.
F. D Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR (EIR No. - ) has been prepared earlier; however,
subsequent proposed changes in the project and/or new information of substantial importance will cause one
or more significant effects no previously discussed. A SUBSEQUENT EIR shall be prepared.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts:
I. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported
by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No
Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact
simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone).
A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general
standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific
screening analysis).
II. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
III. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If
there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is
required.
IV. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation
measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact".
The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to
a less than significant level.

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-26
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
2005-21 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW A DRIVE-
THROUGH WINDOW AND APPROVING THE
MODIFICATION OF VARIANCE NO. 1995-09 FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3770 WEST
MCFADDEN AVENUE
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. Applicant has filed Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-21 seeking to allow a
drive-through window service and to modify Variance No. 1995-09 to allow
the further reduction of parking spaces for the property located at 3770
West McFadden Avenue.
B. Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-21 and the modification of Variance No.
1995-09 came before the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana
for a public hearing August 8,2005.
C. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41.424.5 permits eating
establishments with drive-through service with a conditional use permit.
Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to
grant a conditional use permit upon making certain findings.
1. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community?
The proposed Starbucks drive-through will contribute to the
general well being of the area by providing a new restaurant
with amenities available to both pedestrians and vehicles
traveling along Harbor Boulevard and McFadden Avenue.
2. Will the proposed use 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 drive-through window service, in conjunction with the
proposed conditions, will not be detrimental to the health,
31A-64
Resolution No. 2005-26
Page 1 of 5
safety or general welfare of persons working in the area.
The circulation, design, and layout of the proposed drive-
though lane has been designed to minimize any adverse
impacts that may be generated as a result of the new drive-
through lane. Conditions have been incorporated into the
project to help minimize any adverse impacts that the project
might generate as the result of its drive-through use. The
project will be reviewed after ninety days, six months, one
year and annually thereafter to ensure that the business is in
compliance with conditions approved for the project.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The new restaurant with drive-through service, in conjunction
with upgrades of landscaping and circulation, will provide
both a visual upgrade and new economic activity for this
area of Harbor Boulevard and McFadden Avenue. The
overall economic stability of the area will be strengthened
with additional commercial services in the area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code for such
use?
The proposed restaurant and drive-through window operation will
be in compliance with all applicable provisions of Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code and design standards for drive-through
facilities. The drive-through lane will meet the stacking lane
requirement of 160 linear feet, as required by code. Except for the
parking requirements, the proposed project is consistent with the
site development standards established in the North Harbor
Specific Plan. The proposed project is requesting approval of
variance to reduce its required amount of parking. Should the
variance be approved, the project will be consistent with the North
Harbor Specific Plan.
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The drive-through lane for Starbucks is consistent with the
General Plan land use designation of General Commercial
as support commercial uses, including restaurants, are
permitted by right. The project supports General Plan Land
Use Policy Number 2.7, which promotes the rehabilitation of
31A-65
Resolution No. 2005-26
Page 2 of 5
commercial properties and encourages increased levels of
capital investment.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to
grant a Variance upon making certain findings.
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is
found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
Chapter.
The Riverview West Marketplace is a contained site
surrounded by existing commercial development. The
shared parking analysis, prepared by Douglas MacPherson,
Traffic Engineer, has determined that sufficient parking will
be provided for the project during times of peak demand.
The variance will allow the applicant the ability to use the
property in a manner that is consistent with similar
surrounding commercial uses.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The granting of the variance will preserve the owner's ability
to provide new development within an underutilized
shopping center. The proposed tenants will bring additional
revenue and clientele to the existing shopping center and will
not create any encumbrances to property rights.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property
because the proposed tenant pads are within an existing
shopping center that will not generate additional operational
impacts to the surrounding areas. A mitigated negative
declaration was prepared which incorporated various
mitigation measures to ensure that any impacts are reduced
to below any level of significance.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City since both the drive-though

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On August 22, 2005, the Planning Commission denied the variance request
for driveways not leading to a garage ( second driveway), approved the
variance request for driveways exceeding the width of the garage (wider
driveways), and denied the variance request for a circular driveway at
318-5
Variance Nos. 05-13, 05-17 thru 05-21,
05-26 thru 05-47, 05-49 thru 05-52 and
05-57 thru 05-60
September 6, 2005

2425 West Elder Avenue by a vote of 5:2 (Leo and Nalle opposed). The
variance to allow driveways to exceed the width of the garage was
approved with the condition that the width of the primary driveway not
exceed 20 feet. A typical four foot walkway would be permitted in
addition to the 20 foot maximum driveway width.
After receiving public testimony, the Planning Commission determined that
allowing second driveways would actually remove on-street parking where
these additional driveway cuts would occur and set a bad precedence if
allowed in single family neighborhoods. The Commission also determined
that under the circumstances of this particular case, allowing driveways
up to 20 feet wide would sufficiently increase on-site parking, thus

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicants
Fourteen property owners on West Elder Avenue and 22 property owners on
West La Verne Avenue are each requesting approval of a variance to allow
a second driveway on their property that does not lead to a garage, and

Variance Nos. 05-13, 05-17 thru 05-21,

a second variance to allow the width of the primary driveway to exceed
the width of the garage. The property at 2425 West Elder Avenue is
requesting a variance to allow a circular driveway and a driveway width
wider than the garage. The properties in question are located at 2305,
2225, 2229, 2301, 2302, 2306, 2313, 2425, 2426, 2430, 2202, 2221, 2326
and 2329 West Elder Avenue and 2202, 2205, 2217, 2218, 2221( 2225, 2229,
2301, 2302, 2305, 2306, 2322, 2325, 2405, 2406, 2413, 2414, 2417, 2421,
2422, 2425, and 2429 West La Verne Avenue (Exhibit 1) These requests
have been submitted because the City will soon be re-constructing the
street, curbs, gutters and sidewalks within this New Horizons
neighborhood. This work will replace the existing rolled curb with the
standard vertical curb and drive approach.
Property Description
The properties are located in a residential neighborhood in the 2000
block of West Elder and La Verne Avenues between Sullivan Street on the
west and Center Street on the east. The properties are part of the New
Horizons Neighborhood and are surrounded by other single-family homes.
The neighborhood is zoned Single-Family Residential (R-1), with a
General Plan Designation of Low Density Residential (LR-7). Each
property has 60 feet of street frontage and a lot size of 7,380 square
feet.
The two blocks consist of 84 properties. Twenty-one of these properties
currently have two driveways and 59 properties currently have driveways
that exceed the width of their garage. Staff has researched the permit
history of each property and has determined that permits were issued to
allow a two car garage and/or carports at 2205, 2314, 2218, 2321 and
2421 West Elder and 2318 and 2430 West La Verne Avenues. The permits
issued for the garage and carports had the effect of allowing a second
driveway to be constructed to access these structures. Accordingly, the
properties at 2205, 2314, 2218, 2321 and 2421 West Elder and 2318 and
2430 West La Verne Avenues are legal nonconforming and do not require a
variance for driveway width or for a second driveway on their property.
Project Description
Beginning several years ago the City was approached by residents of the
New Horizons neighborhood to gain assistance in addressing several areas
of concern. After extensive public outreach and the participation of an

inter-departmental team of City staff, the neighborhood representatives
concluded that improving the area's streets and storm drain system would
begin to address their concerns. As a result of the neighborhood's
request, the project was added to the City's Capital Improvement
Program. As designed, improvements will include replacing existing
rolled curbs with standard curbs and gutters, and constructing new storm
drains, pavement, drive approaches and sidewalks. In order to allow for
the street and drainage improvements, the existing rolled curb would
need to be removed and replaced with standard vertical curbs. Vertical
curbs will render the secondary driveways inaccessible. Upon physical
inspection of the proj ect area, it was discovered that some homes had
two driveways and that many of these driveways did not lead to a garage.
In addition, there were driveways that were wider than that allowed by
the City's Municipal Code.
On May 11, 2005 a letter was sent by the City to all owners whose
property would be affected by the proposed street improvement project
(Exhibi t 2). The letter indicated that those residents whose property
had more than one driveway were not in conformance with the Santa Ana
Municipal Code (SAMC) and that the only avenue available to them to seek
relief from this code section would be the request for a variance.
Residents seeking a variance were asked to submit applications. In an
effort to ensure that all properties were notified, a second letter was
sent to property owners on August 2, 2005.
To date, 14 residents on West Elder Avenue and 22 residents on West La
Verne Avenue have submitted variance applications to keep the second
dri veway approach (Variance "A") and for a wider driveway (Variance
"B") . One resident at 2425 West Elder Avenue has submitted a variance
application to allow a circular driveway on their property.
Analysis of the Issues
This proj ect was continued by the Planning Commission at its July 25,
2005 meeting. At that meeting, six residents on Elder Avenue had
requested variances for a second driveway and for driveways that
exceeded the width of their garage. Since the July 25, 2005 hearing,
the City has received an additional 30 variance applications from
residents on Elder and La Verne Avenues requesting wider driveways and
31 B-13
Variance Nos. 05-13, 05-17 thru 05-21,

second driveways on their property. The property owner at 2425 West
Elder Avenue is requesting a variance to allow a wider driveway and a
circular driveway on their property. The 30 new variance applications
have been combined with the original six applications so that the
Commission may consider all the requests in a timely manner while
preventing additional delays to the pending street improvement project.
At the July 25, 2005 meeting the Commission asked staff to investigate,
how many streets remain in the City with rolled curbs, if a permit
parking program could be initiated in the neighborhood, and if the City
had experienced similar situations on other street improvement projects.
The Public Works Agency indicated that this is an unusual circumstance
and that there are few neighborhoods remaining in the City with this
condition. With regards to creating a permit parking district within
the New Horizons neighborhood ( a representative of the Public Works
Agency attended the New Horizon's neighborhood meeting on July 20, 2005.
Parking permit programs are most effective when parking intrusion from a
project outside the neighborhood begins to impact the parking supply in
the area. As the maj ori ty of the cars parked on the street are
generated by the residents of the neighborhood, the parking permit
program may not be effective in addressing this concern; however, the
program could limit the number of parking passes that each house would
receive. To date the neighborhood has not approached the City to
further explore this option.
Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-239 (c) requires that driveways in
the R-1 zoning district lead to a garage and that driveways not exceed
the width of the garage. This code requirement has the effect of
limiting the amount of pavement within a front yard setback, resulting
in increased landscaping, less pavement and a more aesthetic streetscape
for the neighborhood. Houses in this neighborhood were annexed from the
County in April 1959 and were constructed with a one car garage and
rolled curbs under the design standards of unincorporated Orange County.
The rolled curbs and sub-standard flow line caused drainage problems in
the area. An unintended consequence of the rolled curbs has also
allowed residents to drive onto their property, which has led to second
driveways and widened driveway areas (Exhibit 3). The additional
pavement areas are used by residents to park their vehicles and in most
cases were constructed without appropriate City permits. A major
component of the street improvement proj ect will be to replace the
rolled curbs with vertical curbs and gutters, which will preclude access
to the second driveway.

As shown on Table 1, 11 properties have constructed a second driveway in
violation of City codes. Twenty-five others do not currently have
second driveways on their property; however, the applications submitted
to the City are requesting a variance to allow a second driveway on
their property (Variance "A"). Table 1 also shows that 26 properties
currently have driveway widths that exceed the widths of the garage
(Variance "B"). Ten other properties have driveway widths that comply
with SAMC standards. These 10 properties are also requesting a variance
to allow wider driveways. The table also shows that driveway widths
vary from one property to another. The driveway labeled "18t" on the
chart is the primary driveway that leads to the original garage. Table
1 only shows the 36 properties that have applied for variances. If all
84 properties in the 2000 block of Elder and La Verne Avenues are
evaluated, there are 21 properties with existing second driveways.
Seven second driveways have been determined to be legal based upon
permits that have been issued by the City.
If the remaining 14 driveways were eliminated, this would free up new
on-street parking for approximately 8 to 10 vehicles. There is no
evidence in the city's permit records that either wider driveways or
second driveways were ever legally permitted on the subject properties
shown in Table 1.
State law requires that specific findings be made in order to approve a
variance that waives standards of the City's zoning code. One finding
that must be made is that there are special circumstances relating to

Variance Nos. 05-13, 05-17 thru 05-21,

slze, shape, topography, location or surroundings that would prevent
these properties from meeting current Municipal Code requirements. The
properties in question are large rectangular lots that have room in the
rear yard to construct a two car garage. There is 8 to 10 feet between
the houses and side property lines that could be used to access a
garage, if one was constructed in the rear yard. The construction of a
two car garage would provide at least four on-site parking spaces, which
would meet City parking requirements for single-family residences.
Because the subject properties have the ability to meet Municipal Code
parking requirements, there are no special circumstances relating to
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings that would warrant a
variance from the City's zoning code. Therefore, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission deny the variance request for a second driveway
on the property.
The second issue at odds with the City Code pertains to the width of the
primary driveway on the property, which is the driveway leading to the
original garage. After substantial further review, staff is
recommending that the Commission approve the variance request to allow
the width of the primary driveway to exceed the width of the garage.
However, staff is also recommending that the Commission limit the width
of the primary driveway to 20 feet, which is the standard interior width
dimension of a two car garage. A typical four foot walkway would be
permitted in addition to this 20 foot driveway width to allow a paved
walking surface around parked cars and while also encouraging better
landscape maintenance. A wider driveway would be permitted for those
properties who have applied for a variance even though some properties
do not at present have a wider driveway constructed on their property.
The properties on Elder and La Verne Avenues were annexed from the
County in April 1959 and were built as two bedroom homes with a one car
garage and rolled curbs as part of original construction. Because these
properties were built under County jurisdiction with only a one car
garage, there is not enough on-site parking to meet current City parking
requirements. This reduced on-site parking deprives the subject
properties of privileges afforded other single-family homes in the City
that were built with two car garages and wider driveways that can park
additional vehicles. The variance requested for a wider driveway would
allow three to four cars to be parked on site bringing the properties
into closer compliance with City parking requirements, which meets the
intent of the City's parking code. Allowing 20-foot wide driveways, in
keeping with other single-family homes in the City, is necessary for the
preservation of the property owners' substantial property rights.

August 22, 2005

The final variance request is to allow a wider driveway and a circular
driveway for the property located at 2425 West Elder Avenue. The City's
design standards state that all single-family residential development
shall have only one driveway curb cut except when the property has more
than 60 feet of frontage and the front setback is more than 25 feet. In
such case, a circular driveway is allowed provided that an adequate
turning radius and reasonable front yard setback and landscaping is
incorporated. The property in question does not exceed 60 feet of
street frontage and does not meet the front yard setback requirement of
25 feet. The purpose of the 25-foot setback requirement is to provide
additional front yard landscape area to offset the additional pavement
that would occur with a circular driveway. Since findings can not be
made to support a circular driveway, staff recommends that the
Commission deny the variance request.
On August 17, 2005, senior staff from the Planning and Building Agency
and the Public Works Agency met with the Board of the New Horizons
neighborhood association to discuss this matter. This meeting resulted
in a productive discussion that lead to the development of staff's
recommendation to allow the widening of the primary driveways. The
representatives of the board indicated at the meeting that this solution
represented a good middle ground and would address their concerns about
providing for adequate off-street parking, as well as facilitating the
desired street improvements.
Based upon the above analysis and findings (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6) staff
is recommending that the Commission approve the variance request for a
wider primary driveway, as conditioned (Exhibit 7), deny the variance
request for a second driveway that does not lead to a garage and for a
circular driveway at 2425 West Elder Avenue. Staff has also prepared
two alternative actions for the Commission to consider:
ALTERNATIVE 1
Approve the variance request for a second driveway and deny the variance
request for driveways exceeding the width of the garage.
Should the Commission choose this alternative the variance would allow
those owners who have applied to construct a second driveway while
denying the variance request for a primary driveway wider than the
garage. This would be permitted even though many properties do not at

present have a second driveway constructed on their property. Residents
with driveway widths that exceed the width of the garage would be asked
to remove this excess pavement unless it had been previously permitted
by the City.
Should the Commission choose this alternative, staff would recommend
that the entire second driveway be limited to a location within 15 feet
of the side property line opposite the primary driveway. Staff
recommends that the width of the secondary driveway be limited to 10
feet.
ALTERNATIVE 2
Approve the variance request for a primary driveway that exceeds the
width of the garage, and approve the variance for a driveway that does
not lead to a garage (second driveway) as requested by the applicants.
Should the Commission choose this alternative, the variance would allow
those owners who have applied to construct a second driveway and to have
a driveway that exceeds the width of their garage. This would be
permitted even though many properties do not at present have a second
driveway or a wider driveway constructed on their property.
Applicants who

that the entire second driveway be limited to a location within 15 feet
of the side property line opposite the primary driveway. Staff would
also recommend that the width of the secondary driveway be limited to 10

garage are 20 feet wide by 20 feet, staff would recommend that the width
of the primary driveway be 1 imi ted to 20 feet. A typical four foot
walkway would be permitted in addition to this 20 foot driveway width to
allow a paved walking surface around parked cars and while also

Ms. Guadalupe R. Soto
2422 W. Elder Ave.
Santa Ana, CA 92704
Dear Ms. Soto:
Starting in late July 2005, the City will be constructing improvements on Elder Avenue,
LaVerne Avenue and Borchard Avenue from Sullivan Street to Center Street and on Center
Street from LaVerne Avenue to Edinger Avenue. These improvements include a new storm
drain as well as new pavement, drive approaches, sidewalk and curb and gutter.
One of the main components of this project is the replacement of the rolled curb on Elder
and LaVerne with new curb and gutter. To facilitate the installation of the new curb and
gutter, all the drive approaches must be removed. A survey of Elder and LaVerne has
found more than one drive approach at multiple addresses. The City's Municipal Code
allows for a single drive approach for each residence. The City will only be replacing those
drive approaches that meet the requirements of the Municipal Code.
Those residents having more than one driveway have the option of pursuing a variance for
a second drive approach. If the variance is approved, the resident will be required to pull a
permit for the proposed drive approach and will be required to pay all associated fees.
Please be aware that variance requests are considered during a public hearing by the
Planning Commission who have the sole authority to approve or deny such requests. If you
would like to pursue this option, please contact Sergio Klotz at (714) 667-2796 for more
information no later than June 1, 2005.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the proposed improvements, please don't
hesitate to call me at (714) 647-5664.
Sincerely,
%~

DENY SECOND DRIVEWAY
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is
found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapteri
The property ln question has sufficient lot width to provide
access to a two car garage if constructed in the rear yard.
The property has 60 feet of street frontage and 7,380 square
feet of lot area, which exceeds the minimum R-1 lot standards
of 50 feet of frontage and 6,000 square feet of lot size.
There is approximately 10 feet between the house and side
property lines that could be used to access a garage if
constructed in the rear yard. There are no special
circumstances relating to size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings that would prevent this property from meeting
current Municipal Code parking requirements, and therefore a
second driveway would not deprive the subject property of
privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and
purpose of the provisions of this chapter.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights;
The applicants are requesting approval of a second driveway on
their property so that they can park additional vehicles on
their property. The property in question has an existing
driveway. Addi tionally, this lot is larger than many
properties in the City and has enough property to accommodate
the construction of a two car garage in their rear yard, which
would eliminate an existing legal nonconforming situation by
bringing the property into compliance with City parking
standards for single-family residential property. Because this
property can meet City parking codes, the granting of the
requested variance is not necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.

C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property;
Limiting the number of driveways on single-family property has
the affect of limiting the amount of pavement within a front
yard setback, resulting in increased landscaping and a more
aesthetic streetscape for the neighborhood. The granting of a
variance for a second driveway decreases the amount of
landscaping in front of a house and increases the number of cars
that are likely to be parked within the front yard setback,
which is an area that would otherwise be landscaped. Less
landscaping and additional paving would affect property values
which would be detrimental to the public welfare and injurious
to surrounding property owners.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City;
The granting of a variance for a second driveway would not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The property in
question is located within a Single-Family Residential
neighborhood which is consistent with the General Plan
Designation of Low Density Residential for the area. Driveways
are ancillary to the primary residential use of the property
and would have no affect on the General Plan of the City.

APPROVE DRIVEWAY WIDTH
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is
found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter;
The property in question was annexed from the County in April
1959 and was built as a two bedroom home with a one car garage
and rolled curbs as part of original construction under County
jurisdiction. Because this property was constructed with a
one car garage, there is not enough parking to meet City

were built with two car garages. The variance requested for a
wider driveway would allow three to four cars to be parked on
site bringing the property into closer compliance with City
parking requirements which would meet the intent of the City's
parking code.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights;
The applicant is requesting approval to widen their driveway
beyond the width of their garage so that they can have a safe
and secure place to park their private vehicles on their
property. City parking standards for a single-family home
require four parking spaces with two of those spaces provided
in an enclosed garage. Since these properties were constructed
with only a one car garage, the wider driveways are needed to
provide additional on-site parking in keeping with other
single-family homes in the City which is necessary for the
preservation of their substantial property rights.

August 22, 2005
Page 2 of 2
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property;
Although increasing the width of the driveway beyond the width
of the garage would increase the amount of pavement within the
front yard setback, this property has 60 feet of street frontage
which allows this increase in pavement to be offset by
additional front yard landscaping. This additional landscaping
would compensate for any increase in pavement and would
therefore not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to surrounding property owners.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City;
The granting of a variance for wider driveways would not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The property in
question lS located within a Single-Family Residential
neighborhood which is consistent with the General Plan
Designation of Low Density Residential for the area. Driveways
are ancillary to the primary residential use of the property
and would have no affect on the General Plan of the City.

DENY CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is
found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter;
The property in question has sufficient lot size, width and
depth to accommodate a two car garage in the rear yard which
would allow additional vehicles to be parked on-site and meet
Ci ty Municipal Code requirements for parking. There are no
special circumstances relating to size, shape, topography,
location or surroundings that would prevent these properties
from meeting current Municipal Code parking requirements
wi thout the need of a circular driveway that does not comply
with City code standards.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights;
The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow a
circular driveway so that there is sufficient area for
additional cars to be parked on the property. The property in
question is larger than many properties in the City and can
accommodate the construction of a two car garage in the rear
yard. This would comply with City parking standards for
single-family property. Because this property can meet City
parking codes, the granting of the requested variance is not
necessary for the preservation and enj oyment of one or more
substantial property rights.

Page 2 of 2
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property;
Limiting the size of a driveway on single-family property
affectively limits the amount of pavement within a front yard
setback, resulting in increased landscaping and a more aesthetic
streetscape for the neighborhood. The granting of a variance to
allow a circular driveway decreases the amount of landscaping in
front of a house and increases the number of cars that are
likely to be parked within the front yard setback, which is an
area that would otherwise be landscaped. Less landscaping and
additional paving would affect property values which would be
detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to surrounding
property owners.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City;
The granting of a variance for a circular driveway would not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The property in
question is located within a Single-Family Residential
neighborhood which is consistent with the General Plan
Designation of Low Density Residential for the area. Driveways
are ancillary to the primary residential use of the property

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING VARIANCE NO.
rvariance number (a)l TO ALLOW A SECOND DRIVEWAY
THAT DOES NOT LEAD TO A GARAGE AND APPROVING
VARIANCE NO. rvariance number (b)l TO ALLOW A
DRIVEWAY THAT EXCEEDS THE WIDTH OF THE
GARAGE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT raddressl
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. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. rvariance number (a)l to
allow a second driveway that does not lead to a garage and Variance No.
rvariance number (b)l to allow a driveway that exceeds the width of the
garage for the property located at raddressl.
B. Variance No. rvariance number (a)l and Variance No. rvariance number
1Qll came before the Planning Commission on August 22, 2005 for a duly
noticed public hearing.
C. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No rvariance
number (a)l , to allow a second driveway that does not lead to a garage,
the following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana
Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from the
provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have not been established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
The property in question has sufficient lot width to provide
access to a two car garage if constructed in the rear yard.
The property has 60 feet of street frontage and 7,380 square
feet of lot area, which exceeds the minimum R-1 lot
standards of 50 feet of frontage and 6,000 square feet of lot
size. There is approximately 10 feet between the house and
side property lines that could be used to access a garage if
Resolution No. 2005-xx
Page 1 of 5
31 B-35
constructed in the rear yard. There are no special
circumstances relating to size, shape, topography, location
or surroundings that would prevent this property from
meeting current Municipal Code parking requirements, and
therefore a second driveway would not deprive the subject
property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent
and purpose of the provisions of this chapter.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The applicants are requesting approval of a second driveway
on their property so that they can park additional vehicles on
their property. The property in question has an existing
driveway. Additionally, this lot is larger than many properties
in the City and has enough property to accommodate the
construction of a two car garage in their rear yard, which
would eliminate an existing legal nonconforming situation by
bringing the property into compliance with City parking
standards for single-family residential property. Because
this property can meet City parking codes, the granting of
the requested variance is not necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
Limiting the number of driveways on single-family property
has the affect of limiting the amount of pavement within a
front yard setback, resulting in increased landscaping and a
more aesthetic streetscape for the neighborhood. The
granting of a variance for a second driveway decreases the
amount of landscaping in front of a house and increases the
number of cars that are likely to be parked within the front
yard setback, which is an area that would otherwise be
landscaped. Less landscaping and additional paving would
affect property values which would be detrimental to the
public welfare and injurious to surrounding property owners.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The granting of a variance for a second driveway would not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The property
in question is located within a Single-Family Residential
neighborhood which is consistent with the General Plan
Designation of Low Density Residential for the area.
Resolution No. 2005-xx
Page 2 of 5
31 B-36
Driveways are ancillary to the primary residential use of the
property and would have no affect on the General Plan of
the City.
D. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. Ivariance
number (b)l the following findings, which must be established pursuant to
Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance
from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been
established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
The property in question was annexed from the County in
April 1959 and was built as a two bedroom home with a one
car garage and rolled curbs as part of original construction
under County jurisdiction. Because this property was
constructed with a one car garage, there is not enough
parking to meet City parking requirements which deprives
the subject property of privileges afforded other single-family
homes in the City that were built with two car garages. The
variance requested for a wider driveway would allow three to
four cars to be parked on site bringing the property into
closer compliance with City parking requirements which
would meet the intent of the City's parking code.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The applicant is requesting approval to widen their driveway
beyond the width of their garage so that they can have a
safe and secure place to park their private vehicles on their
property. City parking standards for a single-family home
require four parking spaces with two of those spaces
provided in an enclosed garage. Since these properties
were constructed with only a one car garage, the wider
driveways are needed to provide additional on-site parking in
keeping with other single-family homes in the City which is
necessary for the preservation of their substantial property
rights.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
Resolution No. 2oo5-xx
Page 3 of 5
31 B-37
Although increasing the width of the driveway beyond the
width of the garage would increase the amount of pavement
within the front yard setback, this property has 60 feet of
street frontage which allows this increase in pavement to be
offset by additional front yard landscaping. This additional
landscaping would compensate for any increase in
pavement and would therefore not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to surrounding property owners.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The granting of a variance for wider driveways would not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The property
in question is located within a Single-Family Residential
neighborhood which is consistent with the General Plan
Designation of Low Density Residential for the area.
Driveways are ancillary to the primary residential use of the
property and would have no affect on the General Plan of
the City.
E. This project was reviewed in accordance with the guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt
from further review pursuant to Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption
allows the repair and maintenance of existing public or private structures,
or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use
beyond that existing at the time of determination. Categorical Exemption
Environmental Review No. 2005-145 will be filed for this project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting
the public hearing hereby:
1. Denies Variance No. rvariance number (a)1 to allow a second driveway that
does not lead to a garage for the property located at Iaddressl
2. Approves Variance No. rvariance number (b)) to allow a driveway that
exceeds the width of the garage for the property located at Jaddressl.
These decisions are based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing,
which includes but not is not limited to: the Staff reports and exhibits attached thereto;
and the public testimony all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

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. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2005-50(a) to allow a
circular driveway and Variance No. 2005-50(b) to allow a driveway that
exceeds the width of the garage for the property located at 2425 West

B. Variance No. 2005-50(a) and Variance No. 2005-50(b) came before the

C. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. 2005-50(a), to
allow a circular driveway, the following findings, which must be established
pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a

The property in question has sufficient lot size, width and
depth to accommodate a two car garage in the rear yard
which would allow additional vehicles to be parked on-site
and meet City Municipal Code requirements for parking.
There are no special circumstances relating to size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings that would prevent
these properties from meeting current Municipal Code

parking requirements without the need of a circular driveway
that does not comply with City code standards.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow a
circular driveway so that there is sufficient area for additional
cars to be parked on the property. The property in question
is larger than many properties in the City and can
accommodate the construction of a two car garage in the
rear yard. This would comply with City parking standards for

Limiting the size of a driveway on single-family property
affectively limits the amount of pavement within a front yard
setback, resulting in increased landscaping and a more

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Mr. Bill Hammerstein of Main Street Concourse LLC is requesting approval
of the street names for the previously entitled City Place mixed use
project at 2775 North Main Street.
Property Description
The development site is approximately 17.7 acres in size and is located
at the northeast corner of Main Street and Memory Lane. The proj ect
site extends from Main Street on the west to Lawson Way on the east and
from Memory Lane on the south to the city border on the north. The
subj ect site is located within the Specific Development No. 59 (SD-59)
zoning district and has a General Plan Land Use designation of District
Center (DC), which permits commercial and residential development.
Surrounding land uses include the Main Place Mall and offices to the
west; Santiago Park, offices and a parking structure to the south; a
senior residential development and offices to the east; and retail,
offices and a parking structure to the north (Exhibits 1 and 2) .
Project Description
Main Street Concourse LLC is proposing to name two private streets that
provide access to the proj ect. The applicant is proposing "Crescent
Drive" for the curved street which connects Main Street to Memory Lane.
EXHIBIT A
39A-2
SN No. 2005-02
July 25, 2005
Page 2
Additionally, the applicant is proposing "Jeanette Lane" for east-west
access off Lawson Way (Exhibit 3). All buildings will be addressed off
either of these two private streets.
Analysis of the Issues
City Place was approved by the City Council on February 22, 2005 to
develop a mixed use proj ect consisting of residential and commercial
uses. Main Street Concourse LLC has filed Street Name No. 2005-02 in
order to name two private streets within the proposed mixed use project.
The applicant is proposing to name the private streets to provide
addresses for the buildings wi thin the proj ect . Addressing buildings
off these streets allows for quick identification and a more immediate
response time by the City's emergency response functions. The applicant
is proposing "Crescent Drive" for the primary crescent shaped street and
Jeanette Lane for the east/west street. In order to maintain continuity
with the City addressing system, each building will be addressed
according to existing surrounding block numbers (north 2700-3000 block
and east 100-600 block) .
The Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) designates the Planning Commission as
the decision making body for the naming of all streets. In reaching a
decision, the Planning Commission shall give consideration to established
guidelines. The proposed street names meet the guidelines outlined in the
SAMC as the streets are not the continuation of any existing street and
the proposed street names do not cause confusion with other streets as
neither name is used in Santa Ana. As a result, it is recommended that
the Planning Commission approve Street Name No. 2005-02.
At its July 11, 2005 hearing, the Planning Commission continued the
matter to allow consideration of alternative street names.

CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt an ordinance regulating the operation of vending vehicles and
establishing a citywide vending preferential parking program pursuant to
California Vehicle Code Section 22507.
DISCUSSION
On July 6, 2004, an ordinance was approved establishing regulations for
the operation of mobile vending vehicles within Santa Ana. The ordinance
established hours of operation, noise restrictions, prohibited vending
within 500 feet of schools, parks, community centers or playground
facilities and established requirements for controlling trash generated
by sales from the vending vehicles. Although the 2004 regulations have
proven successful in resolving some of the problems that led to the
adoption of the 2004 vending ordinance, additional issues remain that
should be addressed.
While vending vehicles provide a valuable service to the residents of
Santa Ana, vending vehicles also create traffic hazards as well as
special dangers to the public safety and welfare of children and
residents of the City of Santa Ana. Vending vehicles not only are
patronized by adults, but by children as well. Many vending vehicles are
presently concentrated on certain streets and in certain neighborhoods.
This concentration of vending vehicles creates visibility problems for
drivers and pedestrians. Many of the vending vehicles remain in one
location throughout the day. In addition to the safety concerns, these
vending vehicles create not only parking shortages, but are also creating
aesthetic impacts to the residential neighborhoods such as deteriorated
parkways. Parkways become barren due to customers of the trucks walking
or standing in these parkways while purchasing goods from the vending
vehicles. Property owners have complained that the vending vehicles
refuse to move their vending vehicles to allow the parkway landscape to
regenerate.
50A-1
Ordinance to Regulate
Vending Vehicles
September 6, 2005
Page 2
In order to address these concerns, the regulations are proposed as
follows:
. Establish an annual vending vehicle permit that permits operation of
a vending vehicle in Santa Ana. The vending vehicle permit may be
revoked after three minor violations or one major violation;
. Require that vending vehicles may vend for no longer than 90 minutes
in anyone location unless lawfully parked in a vending vehicle
permit parking zone;
. Require that vending vehicles move a minimum of 500 feet after 90
minutes and cannot return to the same block wi thin the same day
after leaving it;
. Prohibit vending vehicles from vending within 100 feet of another
vending vehicle;
. Prohibit vending on streets greater than thirty-five (35) miles per
hour; and
. Prohibit vending except from the right-hand side of a vending
vehicle;
Vending Preferential Parking Program
A vending preferential parking program pursuant to California Vehicle
Code Section 22507 is proposed to remedy the over-concentration of
vending vehicles that has created the safety and aesthetic issues. The
director of the planning and building agency will establish up to 150
permit parking districts throughout the city. A vending vehicle can
obtain an annual parking permit from the Planning and Building Agency to
enable vending in the permit parking district without being subject to
the 90 minute time limit. These annual permit parking spaces will be
issued on a first come-first served basis. The City Council will be
asked to establish a fee to fund the physical improvements to the
parkways including, necessary signage, and hardscape. These improvements
will assist in the elimination of the aesthetic impacts to the parkways
caused by the vending vehicles. Additionally, to minimize the aesthetic
impact of the vending vehicles conducting a business in a residential
neighborhood, the director of the planning and building agency will
establish standards including signage and vehicle appearance. Vending
parking permits may be revoked if there are three minor violations within
a twelve-month period or one major violation.
The regulations and establishment of the vending vehicle parking permit
program are intended to eliminate the concentration of vending vehicles
that presently occurs in several areas. This concentration is not only
unsightly, but creates parking shortages, complicates street sweeping and
trash collection, deteriorates parkways, and creates a safety concern for
50A-2

children or other pedestrians not being visible to drivers. The proposed
regulations will reduce the negative impacts to the neighborhood and will
provide a safer environment for the neighborhood, while providing vending
vehicles the opportunity to continue their businesses within Santa Ana.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to Sections 15061 and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines, which
establish a general exemption for projects that do not have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment, and also a
categorical exemption for actions by regulatory agencies that provide for
the protection of the environment. In addition to the general exemption,
the categorical exemption applies in that the project would provide for
the protection of the neighborhood environment through the establishment
of regulatory procedures for vending vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT
Actions to create the appropriate fees and establish the fee amounts will
be scheduled for future City Council review and action.

Section 10. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby, finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Section 22507 of the Vehicle Code of the State of California authorizes a
city to prohibit stopping, parking or standing of vehicles on certain streets
and to establish a permit system exempting certain vehicles from the
prohibition.
B. Vending Vehicles are conducting businesses within primarily residential
zones. This business creates impacts to the residential neighborhoods,
such as increased traffic, pedestrian congestion, and litter accumulation.
The citywide vending permit parking district is necessary in order to
protect neighborhood integrity against excessive intrusion of vending
vehicles which are parked in these residential neighborhoods throughout
the day and night.
Ordinance No. NS-2695
Page 5 of 9
50A-8
C. The City Council hereby desires to adopt a citywide preferential parking
program pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22507. The
preferential parking program shall be referred to as the vending permit
parking district.
D. The parking restrictions imposed pursuant to the Santa Ana Municipal
Code, Chapter 36, Article XI, and this Ordinance shall apply to any
vending permit parking area so designated by appropriate signage.
E. The executive director of the planning and building agency or his designee
is hereby authorized by this ordinance to select appropriate vending
permit parking locations and to establish up to 150 individual vending
permit parking districts within the City of Santa Ana. Each individual
vending permit parking district shall only be large enough to accommodate
one vending vehicle.
F. All vending vehicles parked in a permit parking district shall be subject to
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, with the exception of the time limits
established in Section 36-57.
G. No person shall park any vehicle at any time on any portion of any street
within the citywide vending permit parking district which signs have been
erected indicating the application of permit parking restrictions, except
persons and vehicles exempted from such parking restrictions. The signs
may provide for the towing of vehicles parked in violation of the parking
restrictions.
H. The executive director of the planning and building agency is authorized to
promulgate eligibility criteria for the issuance of vending parking permits to
vendors, and to issue or deny such permits in accordance therewith; and
to establish written rules for the vending permit parking districts. Such
rules shall be designed to minimize the impacts upon the residential
neighborhoods. Such impacts include but are not limited to: increased
traffic, pedestrian congestion, parking shortages, litter accumulation and
damage to the public parkways. Such rules may be revised from time to
time, as circumstances require.
Section 11. The executive director of the planning and building agency on his
own authority and at his sole and absolute discretion may establish a Vending Permit
Parking Advisory Committee to assist in the selection of the 150 individual Vending
Permit Parking Districts and/or the implementation of this ordinance.
Section 12. In adopting the amendments set forth in Sections 1 through 9
above, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares
as follows:
A. Vending vehicles within the City of Santa Ana present public safety and
welfare concerns to the residents of Santa Ana, especially the children.
B. California Vehicle Code Section 22455(b) permits cities to adopt additional
requirements for vending vehicles for public safety.
Ordinance No. NS-2695
Page 6 of 9
50A-9
C. The safety of children is a significant concern for the City of Santa Ana.
1. In California Vehicle Code Section 22456, the Legislature declared,
"motor vehicles engaged in vending ice cream and similar food
items in residential neighborhoods can increase the danger to
children."
2. Many of the vending vehicles in Santa Ana, not only ice cream
trucks, cater to children by offering toys and snack type items. As
such, children, often unsupervised, purchase items from the
vending vehicles.
D. Accidents have occurred as a result of pedestrians crossing the street
mid-block without regard for traffic to get to a vending vehicle. The risk to
pedestrians crossing the street mid-block at night is increased due to the
decreased visibility.
E. The purpose of this ordinance is to regulate a business being operated
within the City of Santa Ana; the purpose of this ordinance is not to
regulate vehicular traffic except to protect the public safety and welfare of
the residents as permitted by the Vehicle Code.
F. Vending Vehicles are conducting businesses within primarily residential
zones. This business creates impacts to the residential neighborhoods,
such as increased traffic, reduction in available parking, pedestrian
congestion, and litter accumulation.
1. Presently, vending vehicles are required to be equipped with on-
board refuse containers large enough to contain all trash and
refuse generated by the operation of the vehicle. Also, all trash and
refuse generated by the vending vehicle must be picked-up within a
fifty-foot (50') radius of the outside of the before the vehicle is
moved.
2. The 90 minute time limit in anyone location will require the vending
vehicles to move from the block thereby reducing the impact to
parking in the neighborhood, as well reduce the impacts to the
residential neighborhoods, such as increased traffic, pedestrian
congestion, and litter accumulation.
G. The Request for Council Action for this ordinance dated September 6,
2005, and Ordinance NS-2655 shall by this reference be incorporated
herein, and together with this ordinance, any amendments or supplements
and the oral testimony before the City Council, shall constitute the
necessary findings for this ordinance.
H. The City Council has considered all of the written and oral testimony
offered concerning whether to adopt this ordinance.
I. Based upon this record the City Council finds that the standards set forth
in this ordinance, and each of them, are necessary to protect the public
Ordinance No. NS-2695
Page 7 of 9
50A-1 0
safety and welfare of the children and residents of the City of Santa Ana
associated with vending vehicles.
J. The police power regulations, such as those employed in this ordinance,
are legitimate, reasonable means of accountability to help protect the
public safety and welfare of the children and residents of the City of Santa
Ana.
K. All provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which are repeated
herein, are repeated solely in order to comply with the provisions of
section 418 of the Charter of the City of Santa Ana. Any such restatement
of existing provisions of the Code is not intended, nor shall it be
interpreted, as constituting a new action or decision of the City Council,
but rather such provisions are repeated for tracking purposes only in
conformance with the Charter.
L. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review. Categorical
Exemption Environmental Review No. 2005-161 will be filed for this
project.
Section 13. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of
this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of
any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby
declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that anyone or more
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 14. The city clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and
cause the same to be published in the manner prescribed by law.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On February 28, 2005, the Planning Commission denied Variance No. 2004-18
by a vote of 7:0 to reduce the required on-site parking for the expansion
of FAMSA Department Store located in the General Commercial (C2) and
Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning districts at 419 East First Street
(Exhibi t A) .
DISCUSSION
On February 14, 2005, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
received testimony on the variance request. Concerns were raised with
the general lack of maintenance of the center, which included trash
accumulation on the site, buildings in need of repainting, and
substandard and missing landscape material. In addition, the Commission
noted that the recommended conditions of approval included the correction
of several items that were code violations, such as the removal of an
illegal sign, the repair of paving and the re-striping of the parking
lot. Finally, the Commission observed that the center's design
restricted customers' access to all parking areas; this design was not
taken into consideration in the initial shared parking analysis, though
it has been addressed in the revised analysis attached to this report.
The Commission noted that while the rear employee parking lot may be
underutilized as described in the parking study, the customer parking
area in the front of the commercial center was severely impacted.
The Commission expressed reservations about the expansion of the center
since the applicant was unable to maintain the center in good repair and
lacked control of the parking lot by allowing others the use

of the lot. As a result, the Commission concluded that the proposed
building expansion would exacerbate the existing lack of parking and
voted to deny the variance request.
Subsequently, an appeal application was filed by Regency Centers on March
9, 2005 (Exhibit B). A notice of violation to correct illegal conditions
on the center was issued on March 14, 2005 (Exhibit C) .
On May 2, 2005, the City Council held a public hearing and received
testimony on the appeal request. Members of the Council echoed the
Planning Commission concerns about maintenance, code violations and
potential lack of parking. The Council continued this item to allow the
applicant the opportunity to rectify the identified violations, to
implement measures to improve the center's maintenance, and to evaluate
the applicant's strategies to regain control of the parking.
On August 1, 2005, the City Council reconsidered this item. Staff
reported on the status of the code violations and the center's
maintenance. In addition, the applicant submitted a revised parking
study (Exhibit D), which was consistent with the study reviewed by the
Planning Commission (Exhibit 6 of Planning Commission staff report). The
Council expressed concerns about granting a parking variance on a center
that is deficient in parking stalls and continued this item to allow the
applicant time to correct the outstanding violations.
Staff has conducted periodic visits to monitor the outstanding violations
on the site. The illegal monument sign and two unpermitted wall signs
are still not in compliance with code. Planning Division sign permits
have been approved for the three signs, while the Building Division
permits are ready for issuance subject to payment of fees. The exterior
telephone and outdoor water vending machines continue to operate without
the proper Land Use Certificate. The youth amusement rides and outdoor
soda vending machines have been removed.

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Regency Centers is requesting a variance from the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC) to reduce the required number of on-site parking stalls for the
proposed expansion of FAMSA, a retail establishment located in the Santa
Ana Downtown Plaza at 419 East First Street.
Property Description
The project site is an existing 100,305 square foot multi-tenant
commercial center. The center is an 8.27 acre, rectangular shaped parcel
of land that has street frontage on First, Spurgeon and Third Streets.
The center consists of six attached buildings in an L configuration that
face First and Spurgeon Streets, and two freestanding restaurant buildings
adj acent to First Street. The site is fully landscaped and has 509 on-
site parking spaces in two non-integrated parking areas. The parking area
on the front of the lot, facing First Street, serves the center's
customers as all buildings have their primary entrances oriented towards
this parking area. The parking at the rear of the lot, facing Third
Street, serves employees since the loading area, trash enclosures and
secondary entrances are located at the rear of the building.

Surrounding land uses include retail uses to the west and south; single-

Project Description
The applicant is proposing to construct a 3,881 square foot, single
story addition to the rear of a 23,373 square foot attached building
within the 100,305 square foot Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The building
is currently occupied by FAMSA, an international department store that
sells furniture, appliances, electronics and gift items. The existing
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the center is 0.28. With the addition, the
FAR will be 0.29 (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5). The applicant also proposed to
re-stripe the existing parking lot, replace deteriorated or missing
landscaping and remove an illegal monument sign.
Architecturally, the applicant proposes an addition that will match
elements of the existing building, including the height, exterior finish
and decorative tile detailing.
Analysis of the Issues
The Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, built in 1986, is a mixed-use center that
includes several restaurants, medical offices and a variety of retail and
service uses. At the time of construction, the center complied with the
applicable development standards and exceeded the number of parking spaces
required. Due to the City's periodic amendment of its code, the center is
non-conforming as it no longer complies with the current parking,
setbacks, landscape and sign standards.
The Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) allows the expansion of non-
conforming buildings when the total floor area of the proposed expansion
does not exceed 10 percent of the existing building. Since the proposed
addition is 3.9 percent of the existing building area, it is within the
allowance for expansion of a non-conforming building. In the case of
rehabilitation or expansion of a non-conforming building of less
55A-4
e
e
Variance No. 2004-18
February 28, 2005
Page 3
than 10 percent, the code requires that signage on the building and the
site must be brought into conformity, that landscape be improved to bring
the site closer into compliance with current landscape requirements, and
that parking be provided for the building addition at the current parking
rate.
Based on a site visit and review of City permits, it was determined that
the building wall signs for the tenant comply with current code. However,
an illegal monument sign on the site was noted, which the applicant is
required to remove and will remove prior to the issuance of any building
permit. In addition, the applicant will replace all missing plant
material and repair all irrigation systems on the existing landscape
planters as noted on the site plan to bring the site closer into
compliance with the current standards.
The proposed addition will occur on an existing parking area between the
retail building and Third Street, displacing a total of 24 parking
stalls. Using current standards, the proposed addition would require an
additional 19 parking stalls. Including the number of stalls displaced
by the expansion, a total of 43 parking stalls would be needed. The
applicant proposes to reconfigure the rear parking area to create 20 new
parking stalls. Therefore, under the current standards, the net parking
deficiency generated by the proposed proj ect will be 23 stalls. The
center, which has legal non-conforming parking of 509 on-site parking
spaces, will be reduced to 505 parking spaces after the proposed
addition.
The applicant cannot comply with the requirement to meet current parking
standards and is requesting a variance for a reduction in required parking
stalls. The table below summarizes and compares the existing and proposed
parking conditions for the center.

In order to analyze whether or not the existing parking count would be
adequate to support the proposed expansion, a parking analysis was
prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers, a traffic engineering
firm, for the proj ect. The Shared Parking Analysis for the Downtown
Santa Ana Plaza provides an analysis of the parking demand based on the
different activity patterns and uses within the center. The study
reviews the City's parking requirement for mixed-use centers and
proposes an alternative parking requirement based on the actual parking
usage observed. Two methodologies were used while conducting the
parking analysis. The first methodology used was based on the Urban
Land Institute's (ULI) shared parking concept. The second method
analyzed parking lot usage based on actual counts for the existing land
uses, then compared this with what would be required for the building
and proposed addition based on the city's code requirement. The study
using the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) shared parking methodology
concluded that there was insufficient on-site parking available to serve
the proposed FAMSA expansion. However, the actual parking lot count for
the existing center concluded that sufficient parking was provided to
meet the peak parking demands of the shopping center (Exhibit 6). The
study found that during times of peak use, the existing parking supply
was parked at only 59 percent of the available capacity. Therefore, it
concluded that the proposed 505 parking stalls available at the shopping
center will be sufficient to accommodate future parking demand, since
the peak parking demand of the center with the addition is forecasted at
352 spaces, providing a parking surplus of 153 spaces.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 14, 2005 and
received public testimony on the variance request. Concerns about the
general lack of maintenance of the center, which included trash
accumulation on the site, buildings in need of paint, and substandard
and missing landscape material, were raised. In addition, the
Commission noted that the recommended conditions of approval included
the correction of several items that were code violations, such as
removal of an illegal sign and the repair of paving and re-striping of
the parking lot. The Commission expressed serious reservations about
the expansion of the center since the applicant was unable to maintain
the center in good repair. Finally, the Commission observed that the
center had non-integrated parking, which restricted the customers'
access to all parking areas by design. This particular design
limitation was not taken into consideration in the shared parking
analysis. Therefore, it concluded that while the rear employee parking
lot may be underutilized as described in the parking study, the customer

Based upon the concerns raised at the public hearing and the project's
lack of compatibility with the City's General Plan goal to promote
development which enhances the quality of life, staff recommends denial
of Variance No. 2004-18 (Exhibit 7).

Updated Shared Parking Analysis for the Proposed Famsa
Expansion Project at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza
Santa Ana, California
Dear Mr. Legaspi:
As requested, Linscott, Law, &Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this
Shared Parking Analysis for the proposed Famsa Expansion project, located within
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza in the City of Santa Ana, California.
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is an existing mixed-use center, currently occupied with
a variety of retail, restaurant, and office uses. Famsa, an existing furniture and
appliance retail store, will be expanded by 3,881 SF for an overall building size of
27,256 SF. At completion of the proposed expansion project, a total on-site parking
supply of 505 spaces will be provided.
This report evaluates the parking demands of the existing and proposed land uses at
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The parking analysis evaluates the project's parking
requirements based on current City of Santa Ana zoning codes, the methodology
outlined in Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Shared Parking guidelines, and existing
parking surveys.
Briefly, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is forecast to have a parking deficiency based on a
parking analysis per City parking codes and ULI's theoretical shared parking
methodology. However, these methodologies do not necessarily reflect actual and
realistic parking conditions at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza.
As such, a shared analysis based on actual parking surveys at the project site was
prepared and indicates that the proposed Famsa expansion project will not adversely
impact the parking conditions at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The proposed on-site
parking supply of 505 spaces is forecast to adequately accommodate future parking
demands on both a weekday and weekend day.
Our method of analysis, findings, and recommendations are detailed in the following
sections of this report.

PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is located at 421 East First Street in the City of Santa
Ana, California. The project site is bound by East First Street to the south, Spurgeon
Street to the west, Third Street to the north, and the terminus of Second Street to the
east.
Figure 1, located at the rear of this letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which
illustrates the general location of the project and depicts the surrounding street
system.
Table 1, located at the rear of this letter report following the Figures, presents the
existing and proposed development totals for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. Table 1
also summarizes the hours of operation for all existing and proposed land uses. As
shown in Table 1, the 102,046 SF existing mixed-use center includes Food 4 Less,
Famsa, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and a variety of retail, restaurant, and office uses.
Please note that ofthe 102,046 SF that exists, 101,071 SF is currently occupied (a 975
SF suite designated for retail use is vacant).
Famsa proposes to expand by 3,881 SF for an overall total building size of27,256 SF.
With all other existing uses remaining the same, the mixed-use center will have a
total building size of 105,927 SF.
Figure 2 presents the proposed site plan for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, which
illustrates the proposed Famsa expansion. Review of this site plan indicates that at
the completion of the proposed Famsa expansion, the project site will provide a total
of 505 parking spaces via an on-site surface parking lot.
Vehicular access to Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is provided via two driveways on
First Street (i.e., one signalized, one unsignalized), one unsignalized driveway on
Spurgeon Street, and three unsignalized driveways on Third Street. Please note that
all project driveways provide full access (i.e., left-turns in and out, as well as right-
turns in and out).
PARKING SUPPLY-DEMAND ANALYSIS
This parking analysis for the Famsa expansion project involves determining the
expected parking needs, based on the size and type of proposed development
components, versus the proposed parking supply.
In general, there are two methods that can be used to estimate the site's peak parking
demands. These methods include:
N\25[j')\2')42;<JI'Repon\259! Famsa Expan;ioll Shared Parking ,\nalys" o2-o9-o555Am 14

1. application of City code requirements (which typically treat each use in the
mixed-use center as a "stand alone" use at maximum demand); and
2. application of shared parking usage patterns by time-of-day (which recognizes
that the parking demand for each land use component varies by time of day,
day of week, and/or month of year).
The shared parking methodology is certainly applicable to Santa Ana Downtown
Plaza, as the individual land uses (i.e., retail, restaurant, and office uses) experience
peak demands at different times ofthe day.
PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS
To determine the number of parking spaces required to support the parking needs of the
existing and proposed uses at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, parking demand was first
calculated using the City of Santa Ana Zoning Code. As mentioned previously, City
parking code requirements typically treat each individual use in the commercial center
as a "stand alone" use at maximum demand, as opposed to an integrated part of the
commercial center.
The City of Santa Ana specifies a parking ratio of 5 spaces per 1,000 SF of
retail/commercial uses, 6 spaces per 1,000 SF for medical office uses, and 10 spaces
per 1,000 SF for restaurant uses.
Table 2 summarizes the parking requirements for the existing and proposed uses at
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza using the above parking code ratios. As shown, direct
application of City parking ratios to the proposed development plan results in a total
parking requirement of 596 parking spaces.
With a proposed on-site parking supply of 505 parking spaces, a theoretical parking
deficiency of 91 spaces is forecast. However, as previously mentioned, there is an
opportunity to share parking spaces based on the utilization profile of each land use
component. The following section calculates the parking requirements of the proposed
project based on the shared parking methodology approach.
THEORETICAL SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
In order to better forecast the future parking demand for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza,
a theoretical shared parking analysis was prepared. Due to the unique characteristics
of the project's mixed-use development, opportunities for shared parking can be
expected.

The objective of this shared parking analysis is to forecast the peak parking
requirements for the project based on the combined demand patterns of different land
uses at the site. Experience indicates that combining different land uses whose
parking demands peak at different times (of the day or week) generally result in a
parking demand that is significantly lower than the summation of individual peak
demand factors or City parking code requirement for each use.
According to the ULI's Shared Parking publication, shared parking is defined as
parking space that can be used to serve two or more individual land uses without
conflict or encroachment. Given that restaurant/food uses have peak periods
(afternoons and evenings) that differ from retail uses (early afternoons), it is
appropriate to utilize the shared parking concept to forecast the overall parking
demand for the site.
The ULI Shared Parking publication provides hourly parking accumulation rates for
retail, restaurant, and office uses, expressed as a percentage of the peak demand for
the day. For retail uses, peak demand occurs between 12:00-2:00 PM on weekdays
and between 2:00-4:00 PM on Saturdays. The hourly factors shown for retail uses are
taken directly from ULI. The retail demand profile was applied to retail uses, as well
as the Famsa furniture and appliance retail store.
According to the VLI Shared Parking publication, restaurant uses are shown to
experience peak demands between 7:00-10:00 PM for both weekday and Saturday.
The restaurant demand profile was applied to all of the restaurant land uses (i.e., fast-
food and dine-in restaurants).
For office uses, peak demand occurs between 10:00 AM-12:00 PM on weekdays and
is minimal on Saturdays. However, given that some business offices may potentially
be fully operational on the weekends, the weekday general office parking utilization
profile was applied to the weekend business office use. The office parking demand
profile was applied to medical office uses.
Tables 3 and 4 present the Weekday and Weekend Shared Parking Analysis for the
proposed project, respectively. The weekday and weekend shared parking demand
analyses are based on the ULI shared parking methodology. City parking ratios, as
presented in Table 2, were utilized to calculate the base peak parking demand to
which the hourly factors were applied. As shown in Tables 3 and 4, the hourly
variation in total parking demand for a weekday and weekend day is identified. Only
a few hours of each day are shown to experience peak demand levels.
For a typical weekday, the peak parking demand is forecast to occur at 1 :00 PM with
a demand of 533 spaces (Table 3). With an on-site parking supply of 505 spaces, the
project site is forecast to have a parking deficiency of 28 spaces.

For a weekend day, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is forecast to experience a peak
parking demand at 2:00 PM with a demand of 525 spaces (Table 4). With an on-site
parking supply of 505 spaces, the project site is forecast to have a parking deficiency
of 20 spaces.
Based on the theoretical shared parking analysis, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza will
have parking deficiencies at I :00 PM and 7:00 PM on a weekday, and 2:00 PM and
3:00 PM on a weekend day. It should be noted that these parking deficiencies are
based on generic parking utilization profiles not specific to the project site. As shown
in Table I, a few of the existing tenants close at or prior to 7:00 PM on a weekday or
are closed on Saturday and/or Sunday. As such, the theoretical shared parking
demand forecast for a typical weekday and weekend day may be too conservative and
not representative of actual conditions at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza.
Therefore, an additional shared parking analysis for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza was
prepared based on actual parking surveys at the project site to determine realistic
parking demands. The findings of this analysis are presented in the following
sections of this report.
PARKING SURVEYS
To determine the current parking demand characteristics of the existing uses at Santa
Ana Downtown Plaza, parking surveys were conducted by Transportation Studies,
Inc. (TSI) on a "typical" weekday and weekend. The parking surveys, which were
performed at one-hour intervals between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM and consisted of
counting the number of parked vehicles within the on-site surface lot, were conducted
on Thursday, August 26,2004 and Saturday, August 28,2004.
Please note that only one suite (designated for retail use) was vacant on the days that the
parking surveys were conducted. However, all of the current tenants were in full
operation on these same days.
The results of both weekday and weekend parking surveys are summarized in Table
5. This table presents the parking demands at the study site for each hour of the count
day and the corresponding percent utilization. As shown in Table 5, the project site
experienced a peak parking demand of 255 spaces (50% utilization) at 12:00 PM on
the weekday. During a weekend day, the project site experienced a peak parking
demand of298 spaces (59% utilization) at 2:00 PM.

Please note that based on general traffic engineering principles, a parking utilization
of 90% or greater is considered the threshold at which drivers begin to experience
difficulties in finding a place to park. As presented in Table 5, the project site
experienced parking demands significantly less than 90% of the parking supply
throughout the two survey days.
Appendix A contains the detailed parking survey data count sheets.
SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS (BASED ON PARKING SURVEYS)
In order to accurately forecast the future parking demand for the Santa Ana
Downtown Plaza project and validate the theoretical shared parking analysis, the
shared parking methodology was utilized in combination with the actual on-site
parking surveys.
Tables 6 and 7 present the Weekday and Weekend Shared Parking Analysis that
includes data obtained from the parking surveys. As shown in these two tables, the
existing parking surveys are presented in column 1.
Please note that a ten percent (10%) contingency factor was applied to the existing
parking survey data to allow for daily variations and/or fluctuations in existing
parking demand and to allow for future potential changes in the existing tenants. This
contingency factor is presented in the second column of Tables 6 and 7.
The third column of Tables 6 and 7 present the shared parking demands of the
currently vacant 975 SF suite that is designated for retail use.
The fourth column of Tables 6 and 7 present the forecast hourly parking demands of
the proposed Famsa expansion project based on City parking codes and ULI's shared
parking utilization profiles for a furniture store.
As shown in Table 6, the weekday peak parking demand is forecast to occur during
the 12:00 PM with a demand of 303 spaces. With a parking supply of 505 spaces, a
parking surplus of 202 spaces is forecast during the center's peak parking demand
time period.
As shown in Table 7, the project site is forecast to experience a weekend peak
parking demand at 2:00 PM with 352 spaces. With a parking supply of 505 spaces,
the site is forecast to provide a parking surplus of 153 spaces.

Given the results of the shared parking analysis based on actual parking surveys, the
on-site parking supply will be sufficient to accommodate the proposed Famsa
expansion project on both the weekday and weekend day.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is an existing 102,046 SF mixed-use development,
consisting of a variety of retail, office, and restaurant uses. Famsa, a furniture
and appliance retail store, proposes to expand by 3,881 SF for overall building
size of 27,256 SF. With this expansion project, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza
will have a total building area of 105,927 SF.
2. The project site proposes to provide a total on-site parking supply of 505
spaces.
3. Direct application of City parking codes to the existing and proposed uses at
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza results in a total parking requirement of 596 parking
spaces. With an on-site parking supply of 505 spaces, a parking deficiency of 91
spaces is anticipated.
4. The Theoretical Shared Parking Analysis indicates that Santa Ana Downtown
Plaza will have a parking deficiency for a couple of hours on a typical weekday
and weekend day. However, this theoretical analysis is not representative of
actual conditions at the project site and may be too conservative.
5. Existing parking surveys at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza indicates that a peak
parking demand of 255 spaces were experienced on a recent weekday.
Similarly, a peak weekend parking demand of 298 spaces was experienced on a
recent weekend day. These parking demands reflected a parking utilization of
50% and 59%, respectively.
6. The Shared Parking analysis based on actual parking surveys indicate that the
proposed Famsa expansion project will not adversely impact the parking
conditions at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The proposed on-site parking
supply of 505 spaces is forecast to adequately accommodate future parking
demands on both a weekday and weekend day.

February 28, 2005
Page 1 of 2
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is
found to deprive the subj ect property of privileges not otherwise
at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
There are no special circumstances applicable to the subj ect
site that necessitates a reduction of on-site parking for the
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The commercial center is situated
on a flat, rectangular parcel of land with adequate vehicular
access. Similar commercial centers have constructed
expansions that are in compliance with the City's parking
code. Therefore, the strict application of the zoning code
would not deprive the subject property of privileges.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The variance for reduction of required on-site parking stalls
is not necessary for the preservation of property rights as
the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza will maintain the ability to
operate all existing uses under the City's non-conforming use
regulations. In addi tion, should restaurant or medical use
tenants transition to retail tenants, the center would be able
to expand the buildings as it would be able to provide the
required number of parking stalls.
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of a variance to reduce the required on-site
parking will be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to the surrounding properties by exacerbating the lack of
parking in the area.

D. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
General plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will adversely affect the General
plan of the Ci ty since the proposed expansion will create
negative parking impacts which will impact surrounding
commercial and residential uses. This will be in conflict
with the City's goal to promote development which enhances the
quality of life of its residents.

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-05
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING VARIANCE NO.
2004-18 FOR A REDUCTION IN REQUIRED ON-SITE
PARKING FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 419 EAST
FIRST STREET
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. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2004-18, for a reduction in
required on-site parking to allow the expansion of the retail establishment
located at 419 East First Street.
B. Variance No. 2004-18 came before the Planning Commission on February
14, 2005 for a duly noticed public hearing. The Planning Commission
continued the matter to February 28, 2005.
C. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. 2004-18 the
following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana
Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from the
provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have not been established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
There are no special circumstances applicable to the subject
site that necessitates a reduction of on-site parking for the
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The commercial center is
situated on a flat, rectangular parcel of land with adequate
vehicular access. Similar commercial centers have
constructed expansions that are in compliance with the
City's parking code. Therefore, the strict application of the
zoning code would not deprive the subject property of
privileges.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
Resolution No. 2005-05
Page 1 of 3
55A-33
The variance for reduction of required on-site parking stalls
is not necessary to preserve property rights as the Santa
Ana Downtown Plaza will still maintain the ability to operate
all existing uses under the City's non-conforming use and
expand the building should some of the uses which require a
greater parking demand than retail uses be replaced by retail
uses.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of a variance to reduce the required on-site
parking will be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
the surrounding properties by exacerbating the lack of
parking in the area.
4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will adversely affect the General
Plan of the City since the proposed expansion will create
negative parking impacts which will impact surrounding
commercial and residential uses. This will be in conflict with
the City's goal to promote development which enhances the
quality of life of its residents.
D. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
recommended action is not considered a CEQA project. Therefore no
environmental documentation is required.
Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting
the public hearing hereby denies Variance No. 2004-18. This decision is based upon
the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, which includes but not is not limited
to: the Staff reports and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony all of which
are incorporated herein by this reference.

RE: Appeal Application
III. Reason for request
419 E. First Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701
S3A# 041054
A variance Was requested for a reduction in parking at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza to
allow for an addition of3,881 s.f. to the existing FAMSA store due to the city
considering the use retail. The stalls as marked on the plans are located at the rear of the
site normally used by employees and for deliveries. Based on the findings from the
planning department, the variance was recommended for approval. A parking study
provided for the site demonstrates that the center has an excess of parking needed during
peak hours to support the business it serves if one accepts the shared use parking analysis
that staff accepted for planning conditions.
Items brought up during the Planning Commission Hearing, beyond the control of the
landlord, have been used to deny the project, such as the overflow of parking from other
sites, and lack of maintenance which we have explained is scheduled for compliance
upon permit. Staff reported that only one sign would require modification.
As downtown Santa Ana begins to evolve with new business and attractions, so does the
need for parking. Although there are fee based city parking structures to alleviate the
demand, people will chose to park, for free, at the adjacent shopping centers. With the
recent construction and continued growth of the artist lofts, the demand will continue to
grow and burden the existing neighboring centers.
The Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is one of the most affected centers from this type of
overload. Not only is parking an issue but the pedestrian traffic generated by the over use
of the center by those not willing to use the city provided parking structures. Pedestrian
traffic in turn generates an excess wear on the site, landscape and maintenance. The
applicant has made efforts to cooperate with the city; however, the city cannot assist.
The burden imposed by neighboring city approved developments is being singled out as a
basis of denial. although the site is regularly maintained. Suggesting that the parking area
be metered, gated, or the closing of adjacent le~ser producing business further imposes on

the landlord's substantial property rights and will be detrimental to the city if the traffic
patterns are allowed to be further congested with cars queuing in the streets and
storefronts going dark.
There were also several comments made at the hearing that were not related to the project
yet were considered for reason of denial. One commissioner mentioned that council had
been making a lot of bad decisions and therefore would not support this variance.
Another comment was in reference to the Ace Muffler Shop, which although has the
appearance of being part of the center it is not. Furthermore, since there are no physical
barriers between the Ace Muffler Shop which is unkept unfortunately presents itself as a
main view to the center from First Street.
The City of Santa Ana ordinance allows for this type of variance, and ask that you honor
it as staff has presented previously.

Updated Shared Parking Analysis for the Proposed Famsa
Expansion Project at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza
Santa Ana, California
Dear Mr. Legaspi:
As requested, Linscott, Law, & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this
Updated Shared Parking Analysis for the proposed Famsa Expansion project, located
within Santa Ana Downtown Plaza in the City of Santa Ana, California.
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is an existing mixed-use center, currently occupied with
a variety of retail, restaurant, and office uses. Famsa, an existing furniture and
appliance retail store, will be expanded by 3,881 SF for an overall building size of
27,256 SF. At completion of the proposed expansion project, a total on-site parking
supply of 505 spaces will be provided.
This report evaluates the parking demands of the existing and proposed land uses at
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The parking analysis evaluates the project's parking
requirements based on current City of Santa Ana zoning codes, the methodology
outlined in Urban Land Institute's (ULl) Shared Parking guidelines, and existing
parking surveys.
Briefly, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is forecast to have a parking deficiency based on a
parking analysis per City parking codes and ULI's theoretical shared parking
methodology. However, these methodologies do not necessarily reflect actual and
realistic parking conditions at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza.
As such, a shared parking analysis based on actual parking surveys at the project site
was prepared. The parking surveys, conducted in August 2004 and June 2005, indicated
that at any given time of the day (weekday or weekend day), over 210 of the 509
parking spaces are available in the surface parking lots. As such, the proposed Famsa
expansion project will not adversely impact the parking conditions at Santa Ana
Downtown Plaza. The proposed on-site parking supply of 505 spaces is forecast to
adequately accommodate future parking demands on both a weekday and weekend
day.

Our method of analysis, findings, and recommendations are detailed in the following
sections ofthis report.
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is located at 421 East First Street in the City of Santa
Ana, California. The project site is bound by East First Street to the south, Spurgeon
Street to the west, Third Street to the north, and the terminus of Second Street to the
east.
Figure 1, located at the rear of this letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which
illustrates the general location of the project and depicts the surrounding street
system.
Table 1, located at the rear of this letter report following the Figures, presents the
existing and proposed development totals for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. Table 1
also summarizes the hours of operation for all existing and proposed land uses. As
shown in Table 1, the 102,046 SF existing mixed-use center includes Food 4 Less,
Famsa, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and a variety of retail, restaurant, and office uses.
Please note that of the 102,046 SF that exists, 101,071 SF is currently occupied (a 975
SF suite designated for retail use is vacant).
The project site currently provides a total of 509 surface parking spaces. In the front
parking lot (i.e., parking lot fronting First Street), a total of 415 parking spaces are
provided. In the rear parking lot (i.e., parking lot fronting Third Street), a total of 94
parking spaces are provided.
Famsa proposes to expand by 3,881 SF for an overall total building size of27,256 SF.
With all other existing uses remaining the same, the mixed-use center will have a
total building size of 105,927 SF.
Figure 2 presents the proposed site plan for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, which
illustrates the proposed Famsa expansion. Review of this site plan indicates that at
the completion of the proposed Famsa expansion, the project site will provide a total
of 505 parking spaces via an on-site surface parking lot.
Vehicular access to Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is provided via two driveways on
First Street (i.e., one signalized, one unsignalized), one unsignalized driveway on
Spurgeon Street, and three unsignalized driveways on Third Street. Please note that
all project driveways provide full access (i.e., left-turns in and out, as well as right-
turns in and out).

PARKING SUPPLY-DEMAND ANALYSIS
This parking analysis for the Famsa expansion project involves determining the
expected parking needs, based on the size and type of proposed development
components, versus the proposed parking supply.
In general, there are two methods that can be used to estimate the site's peak parking
demands. These methods include:
1. application of City code requirements (which typically treat each use in the
mixed-use center as a "stand alone" use at maximum demand); and
2. application of shared parking usage patterns by time-of-day (which recognizes
that the parking demand for each land use component varies by time of day,
day of week, and/or month of year).
The shared parking methodology is certainly applicable to Santa Ana Downtown
Plaza, as the individual land uses (i.e., retail, restaurant, and office uses) experience
peak parking demands at different times of the day.
PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS
To determine the number of parking spaces required to support the parking needs of the
existing and proposed uses at Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, parking demand was first
calculated using the City of Santa Ana Zoning Code. As mentioned previously, City
parking code requirements typically treat each individual use in the commercial center
as a "stand alone" use at maximum demand, as opposed to an integrated part of the
commercial center.
The City of Santa Ana specifies a parking ratio of 5 spaces per 1,000 SF of
retail/commercial uses, 6 spaces per 1,000 SF for medical office uses, and 10 spaces
per 1,000 SF for restaurant uses.
Table 2 summarizes the parking requirements for the existing and proposed uses at
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza using the above parking code ratios. As shown, direct
application of City parking ratios to the proposed development plan results in a total
parking requirement of 596 parking spaces.
With a proposed on-site parking supply of 505 parking spaces, a theoretical parking
deficiency of 91 spaces is forecast. However, as previously mentioned, there is an
opportunity to share parking spaces based on the utilization profile of each land use
component. The following section calculates the parking requirements of the proposed
project based on the shared parking methodology approach.

THEORETICAL SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
In order to better forecast the future parking demand for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza,
a theoretical shared parking analysis was prepared. Due to the unique characteristics
of the project's mixed-use development, opportunities for shared parking can be
expected.
The objective of this shared parking analysis is to forecast the peak parking
requirements for the project based on the combined demand patterns of different land
uses at the site. Experience indicates that combining different land uses whose
parking demands peak at different times (of the day or week) generally result in a
parking demand that is significantly lower than the summation of individual peak
demand factors or City parking code requirement for each use.
According to the ULl's Shared Parking publication, shared parking is defined as
parking space that can be used to serve two or more individual land uses without
conflict or encroachment. Given that restaurant/food uses have peak periods
(afternoons and evenings) that differ from retail uses (early afternoons), it is
appropriate to utilize the shared parking concept to forecast the overall parking
demand for the site.
The ULl Shared Parking publication provides hourly parking accumulation rates for
retail, restaurant, and office uses, expressed as a percentage of the peak demand for
the day. For retail uses, peak demand occurs between 12:00-2:00 PM on weekdays
and between 2:00-4:00 PM on Saturdays. The hourly factors shown for retail uses are
taken directly from ULI. The retail demand profile was applied to retail uses, as well
as the Famsa furniture and appliance retail store.
According to the ULJ Shared Parking publication, restaurant uses are shown to
experience peak demands between 7:00-10:00 PM for both weekday and Saturday.
The restaurant demand profile was applied to all of the restaurant land uses (i.e., fast-
food and dine-in restaurants).
For office uses, peak demand occurs between 10:00 AM-12:00 PM on weekdays and
is minimal on Saturdays. However, given that some business offices may potentially
be fully operational on the weekends, the weekday general office parking utilization
profile was applied to the weekend business office use. The office parking demand
profile was applied to medical office uses.

Tables 3 and 4 present the Weekday and Weekend Shared Parking Analysis for the
proposed project, respectively. The weekday and weekend shared parking demand
analyses are based on the ULI shared parking methodology. City parking ratios, as
presented in Table 2, were utilized to calculate the base peak parking demand to
which the hourly factors were applied. As shown in Tables 3 and 4, the hourly
variation in total parking demand for a weekday and weekend day is identified. Only
a few hours of each day are shown to experience peak demand levels.
For a typical weekday, the peak parking demand is forecast to occur at 1 :00 PM with
a demand of 533 spaces (Table 3). With an on-site parking supply of 505 spaces, the
project site is forecast to have a parking deficiency of 28 spaces.
For a weekend day, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is forecast to experience a peak
parking demand at 2:00 PM with a demand of 525 spaces (Table 4). With an on-site
parking supply of 505 spaces, the project site is forecast to have a parking deficiency
of20 spaces.
Based on the theoretical shared parking analysis, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza will
have parking deficiencies at 1 :00 PM, 2:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 8:00 PM on a
weekday, and 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM on a weekend day. It should be noted that these
parking deficiencies are based on generic parking utilization profiles not specific to
the project site. As shown in Table 1, a few of the existing tenants close at or prior to
7:00 PM on a weekday or are closed on Saturday and/or Sunday. As such, the
theoretical shared parking demand forecast for a typical weekday and weekend day
may be too conservative and not representative of actual conditions at the Santa Ana
Downtown Plaza.
Therefore, an additional shared parking analysis for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza was
prepared based on actual parking surveys at the project site to determine realistic
parking demands. The findings of this analysis are presented in the following
sections of this report.
PARKING SURVEYS
To determine the current parking demand characteristics of the existing uses at Santa
Ana Downtown Plaza, parking surveys were conducted by Transportation Studies,
Inc. (TSI) on a "typical" weekday and weekend. The parking surveys, which were
performed at one-hour intervals between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM and consisted of
counting the number of parked vehicles within the on-site surface lot, were conducted
on Thursday, August 26, 2004 and Saturday, August 28, 2004.

Please note that only one suite (designated for retail use) was vacant on the days that the
parking surveys were conducted. However, all of the current tenants were in full
operation on these same days.
The results of both weekday and weekend parking surveys are summarized in Table
S. This table presents the parking demands at the front and rear parking lots of the
study site for each hour of the count day. The percent utilization for each lot, as well
as the overall project site, is also presented in Table 5. As shown in Table 5, the
project site experienced a peak parking demand of 255 spaces (50% utilization) at
12:00 PM on the weekday. The front and rear parking lots also experienced a peak
parking demand at 12:00 PM with 219 parked cars (53% utilization) and 36 parked
cars (38% utilization), respectively. As such, 196 parking spaces were available in
the front parking lot and 58 parking spaces were available in the rear parking lot
during the peak parking demand periods.
During a weekend day, the project site experienced a peak parking demand of 298
spaces (59% utilization) at 2:00 PM. Similar to weekday conditions, the front lot
experienced a maximum parking demand of 252 spaces (61% utilization). The rear
lot experienced a maximum parking demand of 52 spaces (55% utilization). During
the peak weekend parking periods, a surplus of 163 and 42 parking spaces were
provided in the front and rear lots, respectively.
Please note that based on general traffic engineering principles, a parking utilization
of 90% or greater is considered the threshold at which drivers begin to experience
difficulties in finding a place to park. As presented in Table 5, the project site
experienced parking demands significantly less than 90% of the parking supply
throughout the two survey days.
Validation of Parking Surveys
In an effort to validate the parking surveys conducted in August 2004, additional
parking surveys were conducted at the project site in June 2005. The new parking
surveys were conducted between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM on Tuesday, June 21, 2005
and Saturday, June 18, 2005. Transportation Studies, Inc. (TSI) conducted the
parking surveys.
The results of these new parking surveys are summarized in Table 6. Table 6, similar
in format to that of Table 5, indicates that the project site experienced a peak parking
demands of 272 parking spaces (53% utilization) and 303 parking spaces (60%
utilization) on a weekday and weekend day, respectively. During these two count
days, the front parking lot experienced a peak parking demand 265 spaces (64%
utilization). As such, a minimum of 150 parking spaces was available in the front
parking lot at any given time. Similarly, in the rear parking lot, a maximum parking
demand of 43 spaces were observed (46% utilization).

Given the results of the parking surveys conducted in August 2004 and June 2005, it
may be concluded that the parking lots at the project site are never fully utilized.
During the peak parking periods, the front parking lot provides a minimum of 150
surplus parking spaces. Similarly, the rear parking lots provide a minimum of 42
surplus parking spaces.
Appendix A contains the detailed parking survey data count sheets.
SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS (BASED ON PARKING SURVEYS)
In order to accurately forecast the future parking demand for the Santa Ana
Downtown Plaza project and validate the theoretical shared parking analysis, the
shared parking methodology was utilized in combination with the actual on-site
parking surveys.
Shared Parking Analysis Based on the August 2004 Surveys
Tables 7 and 8 present the Weekday and Weekend Shared Parking Analysis that
includes data obtained from the parking surveys conducted in August 2004. As
shown in these two tables, the existing parking surveys are presented in column 1.
Please note that a ten percent (10%) contingency factor was applied to the existing
parking survey data to allow for daily variations and/or fluctuations in existing
parking demand and to allow for future potential changes in the existing tenants. This
contingency factor is presented in the second column of Tables 7 and 8.
The third column of Tables 7 and 8 present the shared parking demands of the
currently vacant 975 SF suite that is designated for retail use.
The fourth column of Tables 7 and 8 present the forecast hourly parking demands of
the proposed Famsa expansion project based on City parking codes and ULI's shared
parking utilization profiles for a furniture store.
As shown in Table 7, the weekday peak parking demand is forecast to occur during
the 12:00 PM with a demand of 303 spaces. With a parking supply of 505 spaces, a
parking surplus of 202 spaces is forecast during the center's peak parking demand
time period.
As shown in Table 8, the project site is forecast to experience a weekend peak
parking demand at 2:00 PM with 352 spaces. With a parking supply of 505 spaces,
the site is forecast to provide a parking surplus of 153 spaces.

Shared Parking Analysis Based on the June 2005 Surveys
Tables 9 and 10 present the Weekday and Weekend Shared Parking Analysis that
includes data obtained from the parking surveys conducted in June 2005. These two
tables are similar in format to that of Tables 7 and 8.
As shown in Table 9, the weekday peak parking demand is forecast to occur during
the 2:00 PM with a demand of 321 spaces. With a parking supply of 505 spaces, a
parking surplus of 184 spaces is forecast during the center's peak parking demand
time period.
As shown in Table 10, the project site is forecast to experience a weekend peak
parking demand at 2:00 PM with 357 spaces. With a parking supply of 505 spaces,
the site is forecast to provide a parking surplus of 148 spaces.
Given the results of the shared parking analysis based on actual parking surveys, the
on-site parking supply will be sufficient to accommodate the proposed Famsa
expansion project on both the weekday and weekend day.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is an existing 102,046 SF mixed-use development,
consisting of a variety of retail, office, and restaurant uses. Famsa, a furniture
and appliance retail store, proposes to expand by 3,881 SF for overall building
size of 27,256 SF. With this expansion project, Santa Ana Downtown Plaza
will have a total building area of 105,927 SF.
2. The project site proposes to provide a total on-site parking supply of 505
spaces.
3. Direct application of City parking codes to the existing and proposed uses at
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza results in a total parking requirement of 596 parking
spaces. With an on-site parking supply of 505 spaces, a parking deficiency of 91
spaces is anticipated.
4. The Theoretical Shared Parking Analysis indicates that Santa Ana Downtown
Plaza will have a parking deficiency for a couple of hours on a typical weekday
and weekend day. However, this theoretical analysis is not representative of
actual conditions at the project site and may be too conservative.

5. Existing parking surveys at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza indicates that a peak
parking demand of 255 spaces were experienced on a recent weekday.
Similarly, a peak weekend parking demand of298 spaces was experienced on a
recent weekend day. These parking demands reflected a parking utilization of
50% and 59%, respectively.
6. Additional parking surveys were conducted in June 2005 to validate the
results of the prior parking surveys. The updated parking surveys indicated
that the project site experienced a peak parking demands of 272 parking
spaces (53% utilization) and 303 parking spaces (60% utilization) on a
weekday and weekend day, respectively.
7. As a result of the parking surveys conducted in August 2004 and June 2005, it
may be concluded that the parking lots at the project site are never fully
utilized. During the peak parking periods, the front parking lot provides a
minimum of 150 surplus parking spaces. Similarly, the rear parking lots
provide a minimum of 42 surplus parking spaces.
8. The Shared Parking analysis based on actual parking surveys indicate that the
proposed Famsa expansion project will not adversely impact the parking
conditions at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The proposed on-site parking
supply of 505 spaces is forecast to adequately accommodate future parking
demands on both a weekday and weekend day.

LETTER IN SUPPORT OF APPEAL NO. 2005-02
This letter is written in support of Regency Center's Appeal No. 2005-02 from denial
of Variance No. 2004-18, which would reduce the required number of on-site parking
spaces as a result of the expansion of the F AMSA store in the Santa Ana Downtown
Plaza, located at 419 E. First Street, Santa Ana
I believe that the expansion will be good for business, the City's tax base, and will
ultimately provide the consumer a more pleasant shopping experience.
I have noticed that since Regency acquired the shopping center, they have been an
asset to downtown and responsible neighbors that provide quality retail services by
operators such as FAMSA, HSBC, Payless Shoes and Don Roberto's Jewelers.
Additionally, we have noticed that Regency is sincerely concerned with the general
maintenance and appearance of the property. The shopping center has been recently
painted and they have effectively managed issues of loitering and vagrancy. They
also m<ljntain the property site clean despite the high level of vehicle and pedestrian
traffic.
Finally, I am aware that Regency is a national, publicly traded company. Therefore, I
respectfully request the City Council to grant Regency's Appeal so the concerns
raised prior may be cured, the recommended improvements be addressed, and a
partnership with a valued member of the downtown family continue.
Thank you in advance for your consideration, and I appreciate your commitment to
supporting responsible members of our business community.
Respectfully,
;)j

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-047
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA DENYING VARIANCE NO. 2004-18 (APPEAL
NO. 2005-02) FOR A REDUCTION IN REQUIRED ON-SITE
PARKING FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 419 EAST
FIRST STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2004-18, for a reduction in
required on-site parking to allow the expansion of the retail establishment
located at 419 East First Street.
B. Variance No. 2004-18 came before the Planning Commission on February
14,2005 for a duly noticed public hearing. The Planning Commission
continued the matter to February 28, 2005. On February 28, 2005, the
Planning Commission denied Variance No. 2004-18 by a unanimous vote.
The Planning Commission concluded that the proposed building
expansion would exacerbate the existing lack of parking.
C. On March 9, 2005, the applicant appealed the Planning Commission's
decision, Appeal No. 2005-02.
D. On May 2,2005, Variance No. 2004-18 (Appeal No. 2005-02) came
before the City Council of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public
hearing. The City Council closed the public hearing and continued the
matter to August 1, 2005. On August 1, 2005, the City Council further
continued the matter to September 6,2005.
E. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to
grant a variance upon making certain findings. The City Council
determines that the findings necessary to grant Variance No. 2004-18
have not been established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
There are no special circumstances applicable to the subject
site that necessitates a reduction of on-site parking for the
55A-72
Resolution No. 2005-047
Page 1 of 4
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The commercial center is
situated on a flat, rectangular parcel of land with adequate
vehicular access. Similar commercial centers have
constructed expansions that are in compliance with the
City's parking code. Therefore, the strict application of the
zoning code would not deprive the subject property of
privileges.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The variance for reduction of required on-site parking stalls
is not necessary for the preservation of property rights as the
Santa Ana Downtown Plaza will maintain the ability to
operate all existing uses under the City's non-conforming
use regulations. In addition, should restaurant or medical
use tenants transition to retail tenants, the center would be
able to expand the buildings as it would be able to provide
the required number of on-site parking stalls.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of a variance to reduce the required on-site
parking will be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
the surrounding properties by exacerbating the lack of
parking in the area.
4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will adversely affect the General
Plan of the City since the proposed expansion will create
negative parking impacts which will impact surrounding
commercial and residential uses. This will be in conflict with
the City's goal to promote development which enhances the
quality of life of its residents.
F. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
recommended action is not considered a CEQA project. Therefore no
environmental documentation is required.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the
public hearing, hereby denies Appeal No. 2005-02 and Variance No. 2004-18. This
decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, which
includes but not is not limited to: the Request for City Council Action dated May 2, 2005,
2005 and August 1, 2005 and the exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony
written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference
Section 3. 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

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On June 13, 2005, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution denying
Variance No. 2005-09 by a vote of 6:0 (Leo absent) to allow a 50-foot
tall flagpole in the Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district at 617 East
Seventeenth Street (Exhibit A) .
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to review a proposed 50-
foot tall flagpole at an existing service station at 617 East Seventeenth
Street. This request required approval of a variance for exceeding the
35-foot height limit in the Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district. The
Commission noted that the 35-foot height limit would adequately allow the
prominent display of a flag and denied the variance request based on the
determination that no overriding circumstances existed that warranted
exceeding the height limit and concerns about the flagpole being utilized
as an additional marketing tool for the service station.
The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission's decision to deny
Variance No. 2005-09 (Exhibit B). The applicant contends that because of
the site's physical constraints, it requires a 50-foot flagpole to be
able to properly display and view a flag from the surrounding areas.
Additionally, the applicant feels that the proposed flagpole would not
set a precedent for future requests of 50-foot tall flagpoles or have a
negative aesthetic impact either to the immediate residential vicinity or
the City of Santa Ana.
75A-1
Appeal No. 2005-03 (Variance No. 2005-09)
September 6, 2005
Page 2
The site's physical location and the applicant's interest in displaying
the American flag was considered by the Planning Commission. The
Commission noted that first amendment protections prevent the City from
requiring that only an American flag be displayed. Thus the current or
subsequent property owners are entitled to display any flag. The
Commission further noted that the 35-foot height limit would adequately
allow the prominent display of the flag, and felt that the excessive
height proposed by the applicant represented an attention-getting device.
It is therefore recommended that Appeal No. 2005-03 be denied.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution denying Variance No. 2005-09.
DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Mr. Steve Krieger is requesting approval of a variance to allow the
construction of a 50-foot tall flagpole at an existing service station at
617 East Seventeenth Street.
Property Description
The development site is a semi-rectangular shaped lot that is
approximately 1.6 acres in size and is located on the northwest corner of
Seventeenth Street and Santiago Avenue. The property is located in the
Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district and has a General Plan land use
designation of General Commercial (GC). The existing site has a Union 76
Service Station that includes a mini-market, a car wash building and a 35-
foot freestanding sign. The surrounding land uses consist of single-
family residences immediately to the north, commercial and multi-family
residential to the east and the Interstate 5 Freeway (Santa Ana Freeway)
to the south and west (Exhibits 1 and 2) .
Project Description
The proposed project involves the construction of a 50-foot tall flagpole
that will display an American flag measuring 10-feet by 15-feet, totaling
150 square feet (Exhibit 3).

Analysis of the Issues
In September 2004, the applicant applied for a variance to allow a 100-
foot flagpole at an existing service station. After receiving public
testimony on the request on October 25, 2004, the Planning Commission
denied Variance No. 2004-12. The Planning Commission denied the variance
due to the fact that the existing 35-foot height limit would adequately
allow the prominent display of an American flag and that the excessive
height proposed by the applicant represented an attention-getting device.
After filing an appeal of the Planning Commission decision, on January 18,
2005 the City Council denied the appeal due to similar concerns that the
Planning Commission had identified. The applicant has submitted a new
proposal to construct a 50-foot tall flagpole that will again display the
American flag. Because the property is lower in elevation than the Santa
Ana Freeway, the applicant wants the 50-foot tall flagpole to be
identified with his business and serve as a new landmark for the City of
Santa Ana.
Staff has identified several concerns with the proposal that have resulted
in recommending denial of the variance application. First, the Santa Ana
Municipal Code establishes a height limit of 35-feet for structures
located in the C5 zone and within 140-feet of any property zoned or used
for residential purposes. The proposed flagpole exceeds the height limit
by 15-feet and is immediately adjacent to single-family residences.
Second, the City's General Plan designates the Santa Ana Freeway and
Seventeenth Street as primary and secondary street corridors. One of the
goals of the General Plan is to discourage the intrusion of excessive
signage or structures that create obstructions to views within and from
these corridors, such as this flagpole.
Third, approval of this variance would set a precedent for similar types
of requests, such as signage, for other businesses located along any
freeway in Santa Ana seeking greater visibility.
Finally, the existing service station is situated at a prominent business
location on Seventeenth Street, directly north of the freeway off-ramp and
immediately adjacent to the freeway on-ramp. Due to this high visibility
location, there is no need for additional signage or identification of the
premises.
75A-4
Variance No. 2005-09
June 13, 2005
Page 3
Staff has considered the immediate surroundings, specifically the freeway
and the adjacent residential uses, in reviewing the applicant's request.
Staff performed a height survey of the most prominent structures in the
surrounding area. The subject property has an existing 35-foot tall
freestanding sign that was approved in 1995. The top of the freeway sound
wall immediately to the west of the property measures approximately 35-
feet above street level. Guaranty Chevrolet, to the east, has a 50-foot
tall freestanding sign. The Santa Ana Water Tower, which is designated as
a historic landmark, is located on the opposite side of the freeway and
measures 130-feet above street level (Exhibits 5 through 7) .
Additionally, recently approved flagpoles in the City range in height from
20 feet to 35 feet. It has been determined that a need for such a great
disparity in height is not warranted when considering the property's close
proximity to the freeway on and off-ramps and prominent location on
Seventeenth Street. Additionally, the residential uses to the north would
be in direct view of the proposed flagpole and its flag.
Based on code requirements and attached findings, no special circumstances
warrant relief from the municipal code for constructing a 50-foot tall
flagpole and exceeding the maximum allowable height (Exhibit 8). Based on
the above analysis, staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny
Variance No. 2005-09.

Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
There are no special circumstances applicable to the subject
property where the strict interpretation of the zoning ordinance
is found to deprive the subj ect property of privileges not
otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the
provisions of the zoning code.
The existing service station is situated at a prominent business
location, directly north of the freeway off-ramp and immediately
adj acent to the freeway on-ramp. Addi tionally, Seventeenth
Street is a major arterial street and provides a large volume of
traffic in this area. In addition, there is an existing 35-foot
freestanding pole sign on the southeast portion of the site that
provides additional identification to the site. Therefore,
there is no need for additional signage or identification
symbols on the premises.
This is a typical lot with no unique site features that warrant
a structure to exceed the maximum allowable height limit within
the zone.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The denial of the variance should not significantly impact the
right of the property owner to enjoy the use of their property.
Seventeenth Street is a major arterial in the City and has a
high traffic volume. The construction of a 50-foot tall
flagpole will not guarantee any greater enj oyment or business
attraction permitted by code.

C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of a variance may be detrimental and aesthetically
incompatible to the surrounding residential uses, when
considering that no other structure is similar in height to the
proposed structure and the residential uses located immediately
to the north of this site, which are considered a sensitive land
use.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The Santa Ana Freeway is designated as a primary street
corridor and Seventeenth Street is designated as a secondary
street corridor and major arterial in the City's General Plan.
The General Plan discourages the intrusion of unsightly
signage and other similar structures, such as the proposed 50-
foot tall flagpole, which impact the visual and aesthetic
qualities of these corridors.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING VARIANCE NO.
2005-09 SEEKING TO ALLOW A 50-FOOT TALL
FLAGPOLE AT AN EXISTING SERVICE STATION AT 617
EAST SEVENTEENTH STREET
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 Variance No. 2005-09 to allow a
50-foot tall flagpole at an existing service station at 617 East Seventeenth
Street.
B. Variance No. 2005-09 came before the Planning Commission of the City
of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on June 13, 2005.
C. Applicant is seeking a variance from Santa Ana Municipal Code Section
41-602(c)(2), which establishes a height limit of 35-feet for structures that
are located in the C5 zone and within 140-feet of any property zoned or
used for residential purposes.
1. As defined in the municipal code, a structure is "anything
constructed or erected which requires permanent location on the
ground, or attached to something having permanent location on the
ground, including signs and billboards".
2. The flagpole exceeds the maximum allowable height for this zone
by 15-feet, and is immediately adjacent to single-family residences.
D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning
Commission to grant a variance upon making certain findings. The
Planning Commission determines that the findings necessary to grant the
variance have not been established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
i. There are no special circumstances applicable to the subject
property where the strict interpretation of the zoning
ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of

privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and
purpose of the provisions of the zoning code.
ii. The existing service station is situated at a prominent
business location, directly north of the freeway off-ramp and
immediately adjacent to the freeway on-ramp. Additionally,
Seventeenth Street is a major arterial street and provides a
large volume of traffic in this area. In addition, there is an

within the zone.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The denial of the variance will not significantly impact the
right of the property owner to enjoy the use of their property.
Seventeenth Street is a major arterial in the City and has a
high traffic volume. The construction of a 50-foot tall
flagpole will not guarantee any greater enjoyment or
business attraction permitted by code.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of a variance will be detrimental and
aesthetically incompatible to the surrounding residential
uses, when considering that no other structure is similar in
height to the proposed structure and the residential uses
located immediately to the north of this site, which are
considered a sensitive land use.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General

The Santa Ana Freeway is designated as a primary street

secondary street corridor and major arterial in the City's
General Plan. The General Plan discourages the intrusion
of unsightly signage and other similar structures, such as the
proposed 50-foot tall flagpole, which impact the visual and

Applicant's Signature:
75A-19
We do not believe the display of an American flag on our property would aesthetically impact
either the local community in the immediate vicinity of the site or the City of Santa Ana. We do
not understand how the American flag is considered to be unsightly. The sole purpose of this
variance request is to display an American flag that can be properly seen by the local
community. The flagpole needs to be 50 feet in height to overcome the physical constraints of
the site such as the 35' canopy, freeway sound wall and existing mature trees. We feel the
Planning Commission did not take into account the physical constraints associated with our site,
which requires us to provide a 50-foot flagpole for the American flag to be appropriately
displayed. Our property has physical constraints that occurred after our project was constructed
and prevents clear views of the site from the surrounding areas. A 35-foot flagpole, which is the
maximum height limit for the site would not allow the American flag to be visible due to these
existing physical constraints. The constraints are due largely to the noise walls along the east
side of the Santa Ana Freeway. These noise walls are adjacent to and south and west of our
property. The noise walls block direct views of our site of motorists traveling northbound on the
Santa Ana freeway. Northbound motorists cannot see our site until after they've passed the 17fu
Street freeway off-ramp. A 35-foot flagpole would not allow northbound motorists to see the
site until after passing the off-ramp exit. A 50-foot flagpole would be visible to northbound
freeway motorists before they approach the off-ramp, allowing them time to safely exit the
freeway at 17fu Street. We do not feel the approval of this variance request would set a precedent
for additional 50-foot flagpoles throughout Santa Ana because other sites do not have the
physical constraints that impact our property. Our site has physical constraints and in
conjunction with the 35-foot height restriction severely limits site visibility that can only be
solved with a 50-foot flagpole.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to approve the proposed expenditure plan for the FY
2005/06 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund.
DISCUSSION
The State of California provides grant funding to State law enforcement
agencies through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF).
This grant requires that funding be allocated to counties and cities in
accordance with specific requirements for front-line law enforcement
services. Front-line law enforcement typically includes community oriented
policing projects and special law enforcement activities that require use
of additional police officers in specially targeted saturation areas.
Total funding allocation is based on annual estimated population figures
for respective counties and cities. In FY 2004/05, the Police Department
received an award of $512,130.
The potential funding amount for FY 2005/06 has yet to be authorized
through the State budget. In compliance with the requirements of this
legislation, the Orange County Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight
Commi ttee has requested that all cities obtain City Council approval of
their Description of Planned Expenditures for FY 2005/06 (Exhibit 1). The
Police Department plans to utilize these funds for front-line crime
reduction efforts such as gang suppression, cruiser enforcement, and career
criminal apprehension.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing soliciting comments from the public on the
proposed upgrades to the West Pump Station facility.
DISCUSSION
In October 2004, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
approved a grant to upgrade the City's West Pump Station Facility (Exhibit
1). The total project cost is estimated at $876,546. The EPA will supply
$482,100 (55%) and the City will be responsible for the remaining $394,446
(45%). The improvements will include the installation of five new booster
pumps and electric motors, all new electrical equipment, panels and wiring
and a pump building to house the new equipment.
One of the requirements of this EPA grant is to hold a public hearing to
solicit public comments. Staff will then provide the EPA with
documentation of the public meeting including the meeting date,
transcripts, proof of publication, and a summary of any public comments or
concerns to the project. Staff will address any concerns in the final
project design.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
On July 25, 2005, the Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council approve and adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring Program, Environmental Review No. 2005-45; adopt an
ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2005-04 and Specific
Development Plan No. 78 (SD-78); and adopt a resolution approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20 as conditioned by a vote of 6:0
(Gartner absent) to allow a zone change from Community Commercial-Museum
District (C1-MD) to Specific Development No. 78 (SD-78) and to allow a
banquet facility at The Bowers Museum, 2032 North Main Street (Exhibit
A). The Planning Commission added two conditions allowing Planning staff
to review a redesigned architectural treatment to the proposed northern
secondary entry along the Main Street (east) elevation and walls on a
ramp along the north elevation to ensure appropriate building materials
and design.
On August 22, 2005, the Planning Commission reconsidered the actions for
the Bowers Museum expansion focusing on the two added conditions. After
discussion, the Commission recommended changes to the conditions and are
reflected in the conditions of approval. The changes allow a refined and
more detailed arch feature at the entry, but retain the requirement that
the arch and ramp walls be finished with genuine stone instead of a
synthetic stone material.

DISCUSSION
Along with the Planning Commission actions, four additional city council
actions will be necessary to allow the Bowers expansion proposal to move
forward. The proposed resolution will authorize a land exchange
agreement, a lease agreement, an amendment to the operating agreement
between the City and The Bowers Museum, and a Redevelopment Agency
financial contribution. The land exchange agreement is needed in order
to facilitate the transfer of ownership of the existing surface parking
lot land at Main Street between 19th and 20th Streets and property to the
north, which is adjacent to the Museum expansion. This property to the
north is presently owned by Steadfast and this exchange will result in
Steadfast's construction of a new surface parking lot on this property.
It will also allow Steadfast to move forward with its development
proposal. As part of the land exchange, Steadfast will be responsible
for constructing the proposed surface parking lot and installing a signal
on Main Street. The City's contribution to the parking lot construction
will be capped at $70,000.
Under the lease agreement, the City will lease the existing north parking
lot, and potentially other parking facilities to the Museum corporation
on which the Museum will construct the expansion and other improvements.
Upon completion, the leased land along with the constructed facilities
will revert to City ownership and control. Pursuant to the amendment to
the operating agreement, the Museum will agree to operate the expansion
as part of the entire museum complex subject to certain annual City
appropriations for maintenance and repair of the facility.
Finally, the Council and Agency will authorize the City Manager and
Executive Director to unify the ownership of the current Bowers parking
lot under the City.
The repayment of a portion of the Redevelopment Agency's debt from the
Central City Redevelopment Project Area to the City's General Fund will
provide $200,000 to assist with the predevelopment and other costs for
the Bowers expansion.
These actions along with the Planning Commission actions will facilitate
the entitlements for the Bowers expansion as proposed.

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
The Bowers Museum is requesting an amendment application in order to allow
the expansion of the existing museum and the allowance of ancillary uses
at 2032 North Main Street. Specifically, the applicant is requesting a
zone change from Community Commercial-Museum District (C1-MD) to Specific
Development No. 78 (SD-78). Additionally, a conditional use permit for a
banquet facility will be required in the Specific Development No. 78
zoning district.
Property Description
The project site is approximately 3.62 acres in size and rectangular in
shape located primarily along Main Street, north of Twentieth Street. The
site is improved with the existing two-story museum building, which
EXHIBIT A

includes 61,200 square feet. Immediately to the north of the museum is a
former motel site currently utilized by the museum as ancillary office and
storage space as well as employee parking. Additionally, to the south of
the museum exists a surface parking lot.

a General Plan land use designation of District Center (DC).
land uses include the Kidseum and Saint Josephs Ballet
the south, residential and office uses to the west, office
north and various commercial uses to the east (Exhibits 1
Project Description
The Bowers Museum intends to expand the existing museum building to
provide additional exhibit and special events space. The proposed
addi tion will be one story, 33,100 square feet structure constructed to
the north of and contiguous with the existing museum. The addition will
provide a new main lobby to the museum, two additional exhibit galleries,
an atrium for both rotating exhibits and events, a 340 seat
theater/auditorium for lectures and seminars, restrooms, a gallery service
and preparation area and a cafe/catering kitchen. A new gated and walled
landscaped sculpture garden/courtyard is planned adj acent to the atrium
and will provide overflow space for special events as well as providing a
visual amenity (Exhibit 3) .
The new entry courtyard and building lobby is oriented to Main Street and
is distinguished by a grove of orange trees reminiscent of historical
Orange County. The existing entry through the historic bell tower arch
will remain as an entry for group tours. All other patrons will enter
through the new entry lobby and courtyard located at the center of the new
museum facilitating equal access to the galleries located in both the
existing and new expansion.
As part of a separate transaction, the existing south parking lot site
will be swapped with the existing office site to the north of the museum.
The terms of the land swap will facilitate the demolition of the existing
office structures to the north, construction of a new surface parking lot
and the installation of a traffic signal. The existing southern surface
parking lot will be processed through a separate applicant and entitlement
requests. A new landscaped parking lot for approximately 131 parking
spaces will be located adjacent to the expansion.

Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20
July 25, 2005
Page 3
The Specific Development Plan is necessary to maintain the integrity of
the existing site and provide consistent uses and appropriate development
standards throughout the 3.62-acre parcel. The establishment of a
Specific Development Plan will allow for flexibility in the site planning
and design, while ensuring development of a high quality museum campus.
The project will change the zoning designation of the existing site from
Community Commercial-Museum District (C1-MD) to Specific Development No.
78 (Exhibit 4). The intent of the Specific Development Plan is to
accommodate the expansion of the museum and its ancillary uses.
Additionally, the proposed zoning amendment would address development
standards appropriate for a museum setting.
Parking for the museum facility will be accommodated utilizing the new
surface parking lot adjacent to the expansion, a new surface parking lot
at the southeast corner of Main Street and Interstate 5 (I-5) southbound
on-ramp and shared parking with the Orange County Federal Credit Union
facility at 2115 North Broadway and Rancho Santiago office site at 2323
North Broadway. A total of 622 parking spaces will be provided through
these parking arrangements to accommodate the built out museum and
ancillary uses (Exhibit 5) .
Analysis of the Issues
Amendment Application
The City's Specific Development District was authorized and established
for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the value, appearance and
orderly development of property. In order to facilitate the proposed
expansion of the museum use and allow flexibility in the development
standards, the proposed zone change to Specific Development No. 78 would
be most appropriate. The Specific Development would allow the museum and
its ancillary uses to be accommodated in a comprehensive setting.
The proposal supports the General Plan policies of encouraging commercial
development along arterial streets, supporting developments that are
harmonious with existing development in the area, provides the community
and region economic and service benefits, and promotes the City's image as
a regional acti vi ty center. The further establishment of the Bowers
Museum as a regional attraction and the positive image reflected by a high
quality facility will strengthen the areas commercial uses, encourage
further development and provide additional cultural services to the City
and region.
750-7
Amendment Application No. 2005-04
Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20
July 25, 2005
Page 4
Conditional Use Permit
In order to maintain consistency with the Bowers Museum Specific
Development Plan No. 78 would require a conditional use permit to operate
a banquet facility. The current development proposal includes a 6,300
square foot atrium that would be utilized for banquets and special events.
Currently, the Bowers Museum hosts approximately 625 banquets and special
events per year in their outdoor courtyard, conference center, north
parking lot, galleries and restaurant. These events have included
weddings, academic seminars, fundraising galas and corporate meetings.
The proposed atrium space is intended to house most of these events. The
events have ranged in size from a dozen to hundreds of participants.
The parking for the proj ect will be directly tied to the specific floor
plan submitted. Any future expansion of the assembly areas or deviation
from the approved uses or floor plan resulting in a higher parking demand
would require a re-evaluation of the conditional use permit by the
Planning Commission. Bowers Museum currently manages the parking through
a professional parking company that arranges shared parking agreements.
These agreements typically coordinate events in the evening and weekends
when surrounding parking supplies are available. This method has proved
successful due to the willingness of surrounding properties to participate
and the availability of spaces. The proposed Specific Development 78
would allow the continued practice of shared off-site parking through the
use of a professional parking management company.
A parking study was conducted analyzing the existing and future proj ect
conditions. As a part of that analysis, parking was studied during
weekend peaks, large assembly events and weekday peaks. The study
concludes that a peak demand of 369 parking spaces are needed on the
weekends, 213 on weekdays and 450 during large assemblies. Approximately
221 parking spaces will be provided between the new parking lot along the
north side of the expansion and the triangle parking lot at Main Street
and the southbound 1-5 on-ramp. Additionally, there is a small parking
lot (approximately 20 spaces) located directly across from the museum
along Main Street. These locations will accommodate any weekday peak
demands. For weekend and large assembly events, the use of additional
parking at the Orange County Teachers Federal Credit Union and the Rancho
Santiago sites will sufficiently provide parking.
Approval is recommended for the proposed amendment application and
conditional use permit as the Bowers Museum will continue to provide a use
that will serve the community and region through the provision of exhibit,
750-8
Amendment Application No. 2005-04
Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20
July 25, 2005

lecture, seminars and special events space. Based upon the above analysis
of the proj ect, consistency with the City's General Plan, existing and
proposed uses on-site, and applicable zoning requirements, it is
recommended that Amendment Application No. 2005-04 and Conditional Use
Permit No. 2005-20 be approved as conditioned (Exhibits 6 and 7) .
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, a mitigated
negative declaration Environmental Review No. 2005-45 has been prepared
for this project.

being of
facility which will
the neighborhood or
The development of the Bowers Museum, as conditioned, will
allow the expansion of a regional museum providing cultural
arts and a banquet facility to further promote, enhance and
support the museum operation. A banquet facility will allow
the museum to host a cross section of social, academic and
community groups promoting education and enhancing city image
through a unique community asset.
B. will the proposed use 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 Bowers Museum banquet facility, as conditioned, is not
anticipated to present any detrimental affects to persons
residing or working in the area. Parking will be facilitated
through a combination of on and off-site parking
accommodations. The provision of a signalized intersection
adj acent to the new surface parking lots will further enhance
the circulation pattern for the area. Any anticipated impacts
to health, safety or welfare are sufficiently mitigated through
the conditions of approval imposed on this project.
C. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The proposed banquet facility, as conditioned, is not
anticipated to create any negative or detrimental impacts on
the economic viability of the surrounding area. The allowance
of a banquet facility provides the Bowers Museum the ability to
host or compliment on-site functions that are anticipated to
draw people to the area. The Banquet use should provide a
positive addition to the surrounding area, which will
supplement and improve the existing Bowers Museum.

STREET

public hearing on July 25, 2005. After conducting the public hearings, the
Planning Commission determined that Amendment Application No. 2005-
04 is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana, and
recommended by a vote of 6:0:1 (Gartner absent) that the City Council
approve Amendment Application No. 2003-08 and Specific Development
Plan No. 78 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20.
D. On August 23, 2005 Planning Commission voted to reconsider the July

Commission voted by a vote of 6:1 (Crib opposed) recommended that the
City Council approve Amendment Application No. 2003-08 and Specific
Development Plan No. 78 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20.
E. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the City Council to

contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community?

facility will allow the museum to host a cross section of
social, academic and community groups promoting
education and enhancing city image through a unique
community asset.
2. Will the proposed use 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 Bowers Museum banquet facility, as conditioned, will
not present any detrimental affects to persons residing or
working in the area. Parking will be facilitated through a
combination of on and off-site parking accommodations.
The provision of a signalized intersection adjacent to the
new surface parking lots will further enhance the circulation
pattern for the area. Any anticipated impacts to health,
safety or welfare are sufficiently mitigated through the
conditions of approval imposed on this project.

stability or future economic development of properties surrounding
the area?
The proposed banquet facility, as conditioned, will not create
any negative or detrimental impacts on the economic viability
of the surrounding area. The allowance of a banquet facility
provides the Bowers Museum the ability to host or
compliment on-site functions that are anticipated to draw
people to the area. The Banquet use should provide a
positive addition to the surrounding area, which will
supplement and improve the existing Bowers Museum.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code for such
use?
The proposed banquet facility will be in compliance with all
applicable provisions of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code. Moreover, Specific Development No. 78

furtherance of general plan policy number 4.4; to encourage
the development of projects which promote the City's image
as a regional activity center.
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. 2005-45, 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
mitigation 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") S 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 S 711.2 and
Title XIV, CCR S 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 hereby, approves
Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-20 as conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
incorporated herein.
Section 4. This Conditional Use Permit is expressly conditioned upon adoption
by the City Council of a zoning ordinance amendment rezoning the property located at
2032 North Main Street from Community Commercial-Museum District (C1-MD) to
Specific Development No. 78 (SD-78) zoning (AA No. 2005-04). The rights of the

Conditional Use Permit is null and void and of no effect.
