CUP No. 2025-15 – Anchor Stone Christian Church (2938 S. Daimler Street) <br />July 14, 2025 <br />Page 4 <br />5 <br />1 <br />6 <br />2 <br />industrial and residential land uses. The proposed church use surrounded by office land <br />uses would continue to act as a buffer between the residential and mixed-use <br />development contemplated in the General Plan to the southwest in the District Center – <br />Medium (DC-2) land use designated areas and the industrial land uses located to the <br />west of the site. Furthermore, approval of this application would be consistent with several <br />goals and policies of the General Plan, specifically Goals 2 and 4 of the Land Use (LU) <br />Element as discussed below. <br />Goal LU-2 seeks to provide a balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana’s diverse needs. <br />Moreover, Policy LU-2.3 seeks to provide a diversity of land uses that support residents, <br />visitors, and businesses, such as areas for community gatherings. The proposed Project <br />will provide a religious congregation where the community can gather during hours of <br />operation and/or during special events. <br />Goal LU-4 supports a sustainable City through improvements to the built environment <br />and a culture of collaboration. Policy LU-4.1, promotes complete neighborhoods by <br />encouraging a mix of complementary uses, community services, and people places within <br />a walkable area. As proposed, the Project will promote a complete neighborhood by <br />providing religious congregation uses to the surrounding office and industrial business <br />within the vicinity. The church will act as an added service for the neighboring properties <br />and nearby neighborhoods. <br />Public Notification and Community Outreach <br />Public notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State <br />regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, <br />and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 5. There are no established Neighborhood <br />Associations in the vicinity as the property is surrounded by industrial and commercial <br />uses within the 1,000-foot radius. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern <br />were raised regarding the proposed CUP. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA <br />Guidelines, the Project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 <br />(Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines.
