Resolution No. 2024-33 Page 4 of 11 strategies to ensure that new development is compatible with the scale, bulk, and pattern of surrounding structures. The site plan achieves this by placing the worship building near the east property line, adjacent to a structure of similar scale, while positioning the office building closer to the western property line, where it better matches the scale of nearby residential dwellings. The inclusion of a landscape buffer and driveway further enhances the separation and compatibility with the surrounding environment. The project also supports Land Use Element (LU) Goal LU-1, which seeks to implement a land use plan that enhances quality of life while respecting the existing community. The proposed development is of a smaller scale than the previously approved project and will improve current conditions by activating a long- vacant site, thereby enhancing the quality of life for neighboring residents. Goal LU-2 aims to provide a balanced mix of land uses to meet the diverse needs of Santa Ana. In line with this goal, the project will offer services in Spanish, Vietnamese, and English, addressing the linguistic diversity of the community. Additionally, the project aligns with Policy LU-2.6, which promotes the rehabilitation of properties and encourages increased capital investment to create a safe and attractive environment. By reactivating a site that has been vacant since 2006 and ensuring appropriate lighting and safety measures, the project is consistent with this policy and represents a significant reinvestment in the area. Lastly, the project aligns with Policy LU- 3.4, which ensures that the scale and massing of developments are compatible and harmonious with the surrounding built environment. As previously mentioned, the site plan strategically places the worship building near the eastern property line, adjacent to a structure of similar scale, while positioning the office and assembly buildings closer to the existing residential dwellings to maintain compatibility with the neighborhood . The project aligns with Community Element (CM) Policy CM-3.5, which promotes positive community interactions and neighborhood pride to foster secure communities and safe public spaces. In line with this policy, the proposed site improvements will create an inviting and secure environment for the new place of worship, providing a positive gathering space for the community. The project is also consistent with Noise Element (N) Goal N-1, which ensures that land uses are compatible with current and future local and regional noise conditions. The proposed use aligns with this by complying with SAMC's exterior noise limit of
