CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING THE
AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 2005-15 AS CONDITIONED FOR THE
PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 100-130 EAST
MACARTHUR BOULEVARD
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to Conditional Use
permit No. 2005-15 to allow the rental of some or all units at the property
located at 100-130 East MacArthur Boulevard.
B. On March 23, 3009, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing and by a vote of 4:3 (Gartner, Mill, Turner opposed) voted to
recommend that the City Council:
Deny application of Integral Communities, I, Inc. to amend
Development Agreement No. 2005-02.
2. Adopt a resolution denying the amendment to Conditional Use
Permit No. 2005-15.
C. On May 4, 2009, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly
noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written
and oral.
D. The application for the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-10
has been filed with the City of Santa Ana seeking to allow the rental of
some or all units at the property located at 100-130 East MacArthur
Boulevard.
E. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 and 41-649 authorizes the City
Council to grant a conditional use permit upon making certain findings.
Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will
contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or
community?
Resolution No. 2009-021
Page 1 of 20
The proposed multi-family residential use (Montage) at 100-
130 East MacArthur Boulevard will provide a service to the
community by providing high-quality residential housing
stocks that will enhance the property value of the surrounding
neighborhoods. Conditions of approval have been included to
ensure the quality and the attractiveness of the overall
design which will contribute to the general well being of the
community.
2. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular case
be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the vicinity?
The proposed multi-family residential use in conjunction with
the rest of the MacArthur Place South development will not be
detrimental to persons residing and working in the area. The
short-term and long-term unavoidable adverse impacts
identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-02 as it
pertains to aesthetics, air quality, and traffic and
transportation, a statement of Overriding Considerations could
be issued 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. 2004-02.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability
or future economic development of properties surrounding the area?
The proposed residential project will not adversely affect the
economic stability within the MacArthur Place South
development area. The multi-family residential component
will provide customer base to the retail and restaurant uses,
which will reinforce the economic viability of the project and
will assist in identifying the entire MacArthur Place South as a
viable mixed-use community.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
The project will be in compliance with all applicable provisions
of Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code as
well as the provisions of the SD-76 zoning district except for
the parking, tandem parking and setback requirements.
Three variances have been approved to deviate from these
standards.
Resolution No. 2009-021
Page 2 of 20
5. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan or any
specific plan of the City?
The proposed project will not adversely affect the General
Plan as multi-family residential development and ancillary
uses are conditionally permitted within the Specific
Development No. 76 (SD-76) zoning district. Policy 1.3 of the
General Plan Land Use Element encourages high-density
residential development within the City's District Centers.
Also, Policy 1.4 promotes the maintenance and fostering of a
variety of residential land uses in the city.
Section 2. On June 20, 2005 the City Council approved and adopted Final
Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-02, the Mitigation Monitoring Program, and the
Statement of Overriding Considerations. In analyzing the amendments to this project, it
was determined that no new impacts are expected since the number of overall units, the
number of persons in the households and the income levels for the project will remain the
same. Therefore, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
proposed project has been determined to be adequately evaluated in previously prepared
Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-02.
This resolution incorporates by reference, as though fully set forth herein,
Resolution No. 2005-063 and said Final Environmental Impact Report, Mitigation
Monitoring Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and all of their
respective facts, findings and conclusions in support of this resolution and the findings
made herein. This resolution also incorporates by reference, as though fully set forth
herein, the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-02 and the
mitigation monitoring program which came before the City Council on May 4, 2009 as
part of the public hearing for ZOA No. 2009-04, Amendment to DA No. 2005-02,
Amendment to CUP No. 2009-08 and Amendment to Variance No. 2009-02 as well as
the accompanying staff report and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony
written and oral for that hearing item.

hearing hereby approves the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-15 as
conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein for the property
located at 100-130 East MacArthur Boulevard. This decision is based upon the

proposed condominiums and residential towers since the interior CNEL
standard of 45 dB is to be met with all windows and doors closed.
67. Prior to building occupancy, to the extent possible, all equipment shall be
enclosed within a building or separate structure. Where this is not
possible, barriers may be necessary to shield the equipment from the
existing and proposed residential buildings. Depending on the size and
style of the equipment, silencers in the intake and exhaust ducts may also
be necessary to reduce noise at the residential buildings to an acceptable
level.
68. Upon project completion, truck deliveries to the restaurant and the retail
building shall be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Delivery
trucks shall not be permitted to idle in the parking lots or loading areas and

and 8:00 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. No construction shall take
place on Sundays or federal holidays.
70. During demolition and construction, the contractor shall site all
construction staging and storage areas away from sensitive receptors to

rating of 30. The height of the blanket enclosure shall be at least 20 feet.
With the exception of points of access to the enclosure area, there shall
be no openings or gaps in the enclosure, and all points of access are to
remain closed during pile driving activities.

construction relations officer.
75. Prior to issuance of occupancy permits, the project developer, at the
project developer's sole expense, shall conduct a noise monitoring
analysis to ensure that residential units achieve an interior noise level of
45 dB CNEL. The analysis shall be conducted by a qualified acoustical
consultant and shall be submitted to the City's Planning and Building
Agency for review.
