EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Christina Meshreky and Georgina Beshai, with DNJ C Properties, LLC (Property Owner/Applicant), are requesting approval of a modification of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2019-19, to allow for an increase in adult day care participants from 40 participants to a maximum of 199 total occupants/individuals, including participants and staff members, at an existing adult daycare center (360 Adult Day Care) for the property located at 1800 North Bush Street. Applicant is also requesting approval of a modification to Variance No. 2019-02 to allow for a reduction in the required parking spaces, resulting from a change of use to the second floor office space at the same subject property, from professional office to medical office. Applicant is making the request pursuant to Sections 41-313.5(k) and 41-649 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), which allows for adult day care centers and modifications to approved entitlements, subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant’s request, as the proposed modifications enable the property owner/operator to expand their capacity to provide essential care to additional elderly individuals and adults in need without negatively impacting the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties in the vicinity of the project site. The project incorporates operational measures to effectively mitigate parking impacts, ensures harmonious coexistence with proposed medical office uses, and includes site improvements that bring the property closer to full compliance with the SAMC. Furthermore, the project aligns with several goals and policies of the General Plan that encourage land uses that would enhance quality of life, foster compatibility and support the community’s needs and economic growth in the city.
