Variance No. 2016 -05 <br />July 11, 2016 <br />Page 5 <br />CEQA Compliance <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for <br />further review per Section 15301, The Class 1 exemption allows the operation, repair, maintenance, <br />permitting, or leasing of existing structures. <br />The project consists of the re- tenanting of an existing anchor store building. No expansion of square <br />footage or interior reconfigurations of existing square footage is proposed as part of the project. The <br />proposed tenant has been found by the City's development review agencies to not create any <br />adverse impacts. The fitness center is proposed to be located on a site that is not designated by <br />federal, state, or local agencies to be an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. <br />The cumulative impact of this project will not be significant as there are no other fitness facilities <br />currently on or near the site, the property is already served by roads and utilities, and will not <br />create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. There is no reasonable <br />possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual <br />circumstances. The project is not located within a highway officially designated as a state scenic <br />highway and will not result in damage to scenic resources. The project is not located on a site <br />which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. <br />Lastly, the project is not proposed on a site that is considered a historical resource or that is listed <br />in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental <br />Review No. 2016 -8 will be filed for this project. <br />Strategic Plan Alignment <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No, 3 Economic Development, Objective <br />No. 2 (create new opportunities for business /job growth and encourage private development through <br />new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). <br />Conclusion <br />Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission <br />adopt a resolution approving Variance No. 2016 -06 as conditioned. <br />Vince Fregoso, AfCP <br />Principal Planne <br />VF:jm <br />VRReportsNAMVA16 -05 24 Hour Rtness Parkln9.pc <br />31 D -7 <br />
