CENTER

and accessory church buildings in a R-1 zone district, subject to a conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, this Commission held a public hearing on Apri124, 2000, on Conditional Use
Permit Application No. 00-05, to allow construction of a church, located in a R-1 zone, at 1100
South Center.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
1. Based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing, this Commission finds and
determines as follows:
A. That the granting of a Conditional Use Permit is necessary for the preservation and
enj oyment of one or more substantial property rights;
The proposed church and parish facility, as conditioned, provides community service and
ministries, contributing to the long-term success of the neighborhood. The Immaculate
Heart parish has identified a substantial need for an additional church capacity.
Conditions of approval have been developed in order to mitigate potential impacts of a
larger church on this site. These include the limiting of facility use on the premises to
ensure shared parking occurs and the upgrading of landscaping on the site to exceed the
square footage required by development standards. The project allows the continuation
of the existing parish activities while lessening on-site and off site impacts of a vibrant
parish.
B. That the granting of a Conditional Use Permit will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or inj urious to surrounding property;
The addition of a new 1200 seat church, renovation of the property, and conversion of the
current church into a parish hall, as conditioned, will not impact or be detrimental to the
overall site or neighborhood. Site improvements will be made to enhance the site and
mitigate circulation impacts on-site and in the neighborhood, parking adequacy, safety
issues, noise impacts and design concerns.
C. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic stability or future economic
development of property in the surrounding area?
The proposed church and ancillary facilities should not adversely affect the present and
future economic stability of property in the surrounding area. The church and its design,
as conditioned, provide visual improvement to the area. The economic viability of the
area should not be decreased. As conditioned, the project should not have any impacts on
the economics of the area.
D. Will the proposed church comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the Santa
Ana Municipal Code Section 41-41.5 for such a use?
As conditioned and with Variance No. 00-002 for shared parking with a parking
reduction, and a landscaping trade-off, the proposed facility complies with the zoning
code, and design standards for such uses.
E. Will the proposed use adversely affect the General Plan of the City or any specific plan
applicable to the area of the proposed use?
The church and school at this location are consistent with the General Plan. The proposed
activities on the site and zoning are consistent with the General Plan of Santa Ana.
2. Conditional Use Permit No. 00-OS is hereby approved as conditioned in Attachment A,
attached hereto and incorporatedherein.
