to be compatible with the surrounding environment are
consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use
Element. Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to
address community needs, which includes means of
communication that will be served by the facility. In addition,
Goals 3 and 5 require preservation of neighborhood
character and integrity as well as mitigation of developments'
impacts. The mono -tree location minimizes visual impact on
the area and assists with the stealthing of the equipment.
Further, Policy 2.2 encourages land uses that accommodate
the City's needs for services. Maintaining a cell phone
provider's coverage in the area adds to the services that are
readily available for business owners, workers, and residents
in the immediate vicinity.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
the recommended action is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3). This exemption
applies to projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The project
proposes to renew an existing major wireless facility through the issuance of a new CUP.
No expansion of square footage or physical land disturbances are proposed as part of the
project. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2017-115 will be filed for this
project.
Section 3. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
Section 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana after conducting
the public hearing hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-08, as conditioned
in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the
evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the
Request for Planning Commission Action dated May 14, 2018, and exhibits attached
thereto; and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
