• RESOLUTION NO. 2008-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING THE ART
PROGRAM FOR THE PROPERTY AT 9 AND 15
MACARTHUR PLACE
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The Applicant is requesting approval of the proposed art plan for the
Skyline at MacArthur Place development located at 9 and 15 Macarthur
Place.
B. The art plan came before the Planning Commission of the City of Santa
Ana on September 22, 2008.
C. In 2005, the City approved various entitlements for the development,
• including Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-10 and Development
Agreement No. 2005-02 for the Lake Towers project. Included in these
entitlements was a requirement to install a single or grouped permanent
work of public art to enrich both the project and surrounding community.
In June 2008, the development agreement was amended to allow the
phasing of the public art while still requiring a total commitment of
$500,000 for public art within MacArthur Place South.
D. The art plan proposes a sculpture that is designed to announce the entry of
the Skyline project. The art piece will be located within a fountain at the
west side of the development that is adjacent to the project entry facing
MacArthur Place. The art piece is a 13-foot high by 7-foot wide steel
freestanding sculpture that is a soaring curved form that echoes nautical
sights from the nearby coastline and reinforces the City's own developing
skyline.
E. The conditional use permit and development agreement both contain
provisions that require the Planning Commission's review and approval of
the public art prior to issuance of occupancy permits for the towers.
F. The development agreement requires Planning Commission review and
approval of the art piece prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy.
Additionally, the development agreement identifies minimum requirements
such as:
Resolution No. 2008-30

Public art valued at $125,000.
2. The public art should invite participation and interaction, inspire,
add local meaning, interpret the community by revealing its culture
or history, and/or capture or reinforce the unique character of the
new place.
3. The public art should be comprised of a single or grouped
permanent work(s) at a prime location visible to the public and sited
to complement features such as plaza or architectural components
so that the art piece is an integral part of the development site.
4. The use of durable materials and finishes including, but not limited
to, stone or metal.
5. No advertising of any type including, but not limited to, products,
services or businesses.
G. The Planning Commission finds that the public art plan is in compliance
with the provisions of Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-10 and
Development Agreement No. 2005-02.
•
H. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is not considered a CEQA project. Therefore, no
environmental documentation is required.
Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby
approves the art plan. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above
said hearing, which includes but is not limited to: the Request for Planning Commission
Action dated September 22, 2008 and exhibits attached thereto; and the public
testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
