In 1996, a new <br />service station proposal was submitted to the City but the site was not ultimately <br />developed and remained vacant. A new multi -tenant commercial building was approved <br />for construction in 2007, but the project was never constructed due to economic factors <br />stemming from a subsequent economic recession. On May 26, 2020, the City of Santa <br />Ana Planning Commission held a public hearing for a proposal of a new service station <br />and associated retail store on the subject site. The Planning Commission approved CUP <br />No. 2019-41 and Variance No. 2019-05 to allow the operation of a service station in the <br />C5 zoning district and to allow the construction of a driveway within 150 feet of an <br />intersection, respectively. <br />Since then, the applicant has proposed major revisions to the project, which would require <br />a modification to approved CUP No. 2019-41. Moreover, on December 20, 2022, the City <br />Council adopted an ordinance to require businesses requiring a regional, state, or federal <br />permit to handle, store, emit or discharge regulated compounds, materials, chemicals, or <br />substances within 500 linear feet of a public park, school (K-12) or residential zones to <br />obtain a conditional use permit. The installation of the underground fuel tank would <br />require a permit from an external public agency. As such, the applicant is requesting a <br />secondary conditional use permit as part of this application. <br />6/26/2023 <br />Planning Commission 1 — 3 <br />
