Resolution No. 2025-20 Page 3 of 9 5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan or any specific plan of the City. The proposed church will not adversely affect the General Plan, as the granting of the CUP would be consistent with various goals and policies of the General Plan. The approval of the proposed Project will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Industrial/Flex (Flex-3), which is intended to act as a buffer between industrial and residential land uses. The proposed church use surrounded by office land uses would continue to act as a buffer as the city transitions into the industrial land uses located towards the south of the City. Furthermore, approval of this application would be consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan, specifically Goals 2 and 4 of the Land Use (LU) Element as discussed below. Goal LU-2 seeks to provide a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. Moreover, Policy LU-2.3 seeks to provide a diversity of land uses that support residents, visitors, and businesses, such as areas for community gatherings. The proposed Project will provide a religious congregation where the community can gather during hours of operation and/or during special events. Goal LU-4 supports a sustainable City through improvements to the built environment and a culture of collaboration. Policy LU-4.1, promotes complete neighborhoods by encouraging a mix of complementary uses, community services, and people places within a walkable area. As proposed, the Project will promote a complete neighborhood by providing religious congregation uses to the surrounding office and industrial business within the vicinity. The church will act as an added service for the neighboring properties and nearby neighborhoods. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the Project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). The Class 1 exemption applies to the permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing private structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-54, will be filed for this Project. Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such
