RESOLUTION NO. 2020-019
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENSION OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-29 AND
VARIANCE NO. 2017-07 FOR THE HAMPTON INN HOTEL
DEVELOPMENT TO BE LOCATED AT 2129 NORTH MAIN
STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-29 and Variance
No. 2017-07 to allow the development of a six -story, 135-room hotel
development at 2129 North Main Street. On February 20, 2020, the applicant
requested an extension of the entitlements.
B. Due to difficulties in securing funding for hospitality projects such as the
proposed hotel, the applicant has been unable to move forward with the
development and is requesting an extension for the conditional use permit
and variance. 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 the securing of funding for the project, the applicant intends to obtain all
necessary building permits for the project. The plans for the project have
completed the plan check phase of development and are ready for permit
issuance. The applicant expects to obtain permits and start construction later
this 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 17, 2020.
F. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
CEQA Guidelines, the extension for this project is exempt pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3). This determination has been made as it has been determined

that the proposed action does not have the potential to cause a significant
effect on the environment.

each hereby extended for a period of one (1) year from the date of the original City
Council approval to February 20, 2021. This decision is based upon the evidence
submitted, which includes, but is not limited to, the Request for Council Action dated
March 17, 2020, and exhibits attached thereto, and any public testimony, all of which
are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
