Page 2 of 25
intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act
Provisions. Tentative Tract Map No. 2007-01 is in keeping
with the Site Plan Review (Development Project No. 2006-
23) and Chapter 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are
required for the project, which need to be approved by the
City prior to City Council approval of the final map.
3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the
proposed project.
The proposed site consists of approximately five acres of
land within the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone, which is
physically suitable for the residential development as
proposed. Access to the site will occur on First and Cabrillo
Park Drive for automobiles. There are no physical
constraints on the site to preclude development.
4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat.
An Environmental Impact Report was prepared pursuant to
the California Environment Quality Act for the project. The
project site is located in an urbanized area, and there are no
known fish or wildlife populations existing on the project site.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any
substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat.
5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause
serious public health problems.
The proposed subdivision is not going to have any
detrimental effects upon the general public. The short-term
and long-term unavoidable adverse impacts identified in
Environmental Impact Report No. 2006-01 as it pertains to
air quality and traffic will be addressed by the issuance of a
statement of Overriding Considerations by decision makers
to balance the economic, legal, social, and technological
and/or other benefits of this project against the unavoidable
environmental impacts. Any other negative or adverse
impacts will be mitigated through mitigation measures
identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 2006-01.
6. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict
with easements necessary for public access through or use of the
property within the proposed project.
There is no easement for public access currently existing on
this property. Therefore, the proposed project will not
Resolution No. 2007-028
Page 3 of 25
conflict with easements necessary for public access through
or use of the property. However, the applicant will be
granting an easement for pedestrian purposes over the
northern portion of the site, which will allow public access
throughout the Metro East area.
I. Section 8.2 of the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay requires a review by the
Planning Commission of all plans to ensure the project is in conformity with
the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone. For the MEMU Overlay Zone Site
Plan Review No. 2007-01, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana
determines that the following findings have been established:
1. Is the proposed development plan consistent with and will further
the objectives outlined in Section 1.2 for the MEMU Overlay Zone?
The proposed First and Cabrillo mixed use project will be
compatible with Section 1.2 (Objectives) of the Metro East
Overlay zone as the project will be a mixed use project that
will allow persons to live, work and shop in the immediate
area. Further, the project will incorporate an active
streetscape that will integrate the private development with
the public realm and will assist in creating a distinct identity
for the district.
2. Is the proposed development plan consistent with the development
standards specified in Section 4 of the MEMU Overlay Zone?
The proposed project is consistent with Section 4
(Development Standards) of the MEMU zone. The project is
in compliance with the various development standards for
the Active Urban District, including setbacks, parking, lot size
and open space.
3. Is the proposed development plan designed to be compatible with
adjacent development in terms of similarity of scale, height, and site
configuration and otherwise achieves the objectives of the Design
Principles specified in Section 5 of the MEMU Overlay Zone?
The project site is compatible with adjacent development
and achieves the design principles outlined in Section 5
(Design Principles) of the MEMU plan. The project is in
close proximity to the Xerox Tower, a 15-story office high
rise and has been designed to complement this tower.
Further, the project incorporates a variety of architectural
materials, massing and ground floor uses that are
compatible with the MEMU plan.
4. Have the land use uses, site design, and operational considerations
in the proposed development plan been planned in a manner that
will result in a compatible and harmonious operation as specified in
Section 7 of the MEMU Overlay Zone?
Resolution No. 2007-028
Page 4 of 25
The proposed project has been designed to be compatible
and identified in Section 7 (Operational Standards) of the
MEMU plan. The projects windows, lighting and operational
hours will result in a project that will not impact the proposed
residential uses or the adjacent commercial and office uses.

38. To ensure that avian species of concern, protected migratory species
(e.g., MBTA), or raptors species are not injured or disturbed by
construction in the vicinity of nesting habitat, the project applicant shall
implement the following measures:
a. When feasible, all tree removal shall occur between August 30 and
February 15 to avoid the breeding season of any raptor species
that could be using the area, and to discourage hawks from nesting
in the vicinity of an upcoming construction area. This period may
be modified with the authorization of the DFG; or if it is not feasible
to remove trees outside this window then, prior to the beginning of
mass grading, including grading for major infrastructure
improvements, during the period between February 15 and August
30, all trees within 350 feet of any grading or earthmoving activity
shall be surveyed for active raptor nests by a qualified biologist no
more than 30 days prior to disturbance. If active raptor nests are
found, and the site is within 350 feet of potential construction
activity, a fence shall be erected around the tree(s) at a distance of
up to 350 feet, depending on the species, from the edge of the
canopy to prevent construction disturbance and intrusions on the
nest area. The appropriate buffer shall be determined by the City in
consultation with CDFG.
b. No construction vehicles shall be permitted within restricted areas
(Le., raptor protection zones), unless directly related to the
management or protection of the legally protected species.
c. In the event that a nest is abandoned, despite efforts to minimize
disturbance, and if the nestlings are still alive, the developer shall
contact CDFG and, subject to CDFG approval, fund the recovery
and hacking (controlled release of captive reared young) of the
nestling(s).
Resolution No. 2007-028
Page 15 of 25
d. If a legally protected species nest is located in a tree designated for
removal, the removal shall be deferred until after August 30th, or
until the adults and young of the year are no longer dependent on
the nest site as determined by a qualified biologist.
39. Due to the lack of cultural resource studies for the project site and in order
to avoid damaging any unidentified cultural resources, a qualified
archaeologist should be retained to monitor any significant ground-
disturbing activities in undeveloped areas within the Overlay Zone, and
any deep (10 feet or deeper) ground-disturbing activities in all areas of the
Overlay Zone.
40. In the event that archeological resources are unearthed during project
subsurface activities, all earth-disturbing work within a 100-meter radius
must be temporarily suspended or redirected until an archeologist has
evaluated the nature and significance of the find. After the find has been
appropriately mitigated, work in the area may resume.
41. In the event that paleontological resources are unearthed during
subsurface construction activities, all earth-disturbing work within a 100-
meter radius of the find must be temporarily suspended or redirected until
