Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. On February 20, 2018, the City Council affirmed the Planning Commission's
recommendation to approve Variance No. 2017-09 and Tentative Tract Map
No. 2017-03 to allow the development of the 133-unit Tom's Trucks residential
project at 1008 East Fourth Street. On January 29, 2020, applicant requested
an extension of the entitlements.
B. Due to the need to complete unanticipated soil remediation on the premises,
the applicant has been unable to move forward with the development and is
requesting an extension for the variance and tentative map. It is the Planning
Division's policy to recommend no more than one year extensions, mainly in
an effort to encourage the construction of previously approved projects.
C. Upon completion of the remediation efforts, the applicant will be working with
a housing developer and the necessary team of experts, including an
architect and project manager, to prepare construction plans for submittal into
Building plan check. The applicant expects to submit into Building plan check
by the end of the year and start construction early next year.
D. Pursuant to City of Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-647, where
construction does not commence, these types of entitlements expire after two
(2) years unless the applicant applies for, and the City Council approves, an
extension.
E. The extension request came before the City Council on March 3, 2020.
