The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Tract Map to allow the subdivision of an existing parcel into 124 lots (84 fee simple lots, 33 condominium lots and 7 open space lots) at 905 East Second Street; 910, 927, 928 and 1000 East Third Street; and 1026 East Fourth Street. B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 34-127 requires approval of a Tentative Tract Map by the Planning Commission. C. On January 22, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-03. D. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to approve this Tentative Tract Map pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 34- 127 and the State Subdivision Map Act, have been established for Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-03: 1. The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and improvements are consistent with the Urban Neighborhood (UN) designation of the General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other Elements of the General Plan. The proposed subdivision, Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-03 (County Map No. 18032), will be consistent with the General Plan land use designation and density prescribed and all other elements of the General Plan. Land Use Element Policy No. 1.4 promotes the maintenance and fostering of a variety of residential land uses in the City. Further, Housing Element Policy HE -2.4 encourages projects that facilitate diverse types, prices and sizes of housing Resolution No. 2018-01 Page 1 of 8 LS 1.22 18 and Policy HE -2.6 supports projects that provide an affordable component within eligible ownership housing projects. 2. The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances. The proposed subdivision conforms to the requirements and intent of the provisions of the State of California Subdivision Map Act. Further, the map is in keeping with the Site Plan Review (Development Project No. 2016-6) 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. There are no physical constraints on the site that would preclude development. The proposed site consists of approximately 6.14 acres of land and is physically suitable for the proposed small lot residential development, where lots will range in size from 2,000 square feet to 2,500 square feet. Access to the site will be from several streets, including Second Street, Third Street, Garfield Street and Standard Avenue. 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 (EIR) was prepared for the Transit Zoning Code project in 2010 pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act. 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 will not have any detrimental effects upon the general public. The short-term and long-term impacts identified in the environmental impact report noted that impacts can and will be mitigated to a level of less than significant through the adoption and implementation of specific mitigation measures. Resolution No. 2018-01 Page 2of8 LS 1.22.18 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. 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 since there are no public access easements or any other easements located within this property. Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15183 as it was subject to a previously prepared Environmental Impact Report (EIR). As part of the City's permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study (ER No. 2016-79). The proposed project has been reviewed through previously certified Environmental Impact Report No. 2006-12. The certified EIR identified a series of impacts resulting from the plan. Several mitigation measures were incorporated into the Final EIR, with the applicable mitigation measures added to the conditions of approval for this project. The analysis studies several topics, including aesthetics, land use, noise, safety, transportation and traffic. Further, the EIR studies the transition of industrially zoned and/or used land for residential purposes, such as what is proposed for this project. A determination has been made that there are no new significant impacts or any project specific significant effects peculiar to this project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA 15183, no additional environmental review is required as the project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning and General Plan policies for which the EIR was certified. The previously certified Transit Zoning Code project EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is the appropriate document for the actions proposed. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2016- 79 will be filed for this project. Section 3. The Applicant, by the submittal of a residential development project, is activating the Urban Neighborhood -2 zoning designation for the site as identified in the Transit Zoning Code and is relinquishing all rights granted by the Industrial Overlay (I -OZ) zone designation. Section 4. 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.
