The Planning Commission has the authority to approve or deny applications
concerning development within the City. The category of applications includes
Tentative Tract Maps, Conditional Use Permits, Minor Exceptions, and
Variances. The Planning Commission also makes recommendations to the
City Council on all applications for amendments to Zoning and the General

Agenda and Staff Reports An agenda along with staff reports are
provided for each Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission
agenda and staff reports is posted at least 72 hours prior the meeting on the
City’s website at www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings, and on the posting
boards outside the Civic Center entrance, Council Chamber, and Library. If
you have any questions regarding any item of business on the agenda for this
meeting, or any of the staff reports or other documentation relating to any
agenda item, please contact the Planning and Building Agency at 714-667-

The items on the agenda are arranged in four categories:
1. Consent Calendar: These are relatively minor in nature, do not have any
outstanding issues or concerns, and do not require a public hearing. All
consent calendar items are considered by the Commission as one item
and a single vote is taken for their approval, unless an item is pulled from
the consent calendar for individual discussion. There is typically no
Commission discussion of consent calendar items unless requested.
2. Business Items: Items in this category are general in nature and may
require Commission action. Public input may be received at the request
of the Commission.
3. Public Hearings: This category is for case applications that require, by
law, a hearing open to public comment because of the discretionary
nature of the request. Public hearings are formally conducted and public
input/testimony is requested at a specific time. This is your opportunity
to speak on the item(s) that concern you.
4. Work Study Session: Items in this category are generally items requiring
discussion. No action will be taken.
Public Hearing Procedure: The Planning Commission will follow the
following procedure for all items listed as public hearing items:
1. The Chair will ask for presentation of the staff report;
2. The Commission will have the opportunity to question staff in order to
clarify any specific points;
3. The public hearing will be opened;
4. The applicant/ project representative will be allowed to make a
presentation, for a maximum of 15 minutes.
5. Members of the audience will be allowed to speak, for a maximum of 3
minutes per speaker.
6. The applicant will be given an opportunity to respond to comments
made by the audience;
7. The public hearing will be closed; and
8. Discussion of the proposal will return to the Commission with formal
action taken to approve, conditionally approve, deny, or continue
review of the application.
Appeals: The formal action by the Planning Commission regarding
Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Tentative Tract and Parcel Maps, Minor
Exceptions, Site Plan Review, and Public Convenience or Necessity
Determinations are final and shall become effective after the ten-day appeal
period (unless the City Council in compliance with section 41-643, 41-644 or
41-645 holds a public hearing on the matter, then the formal action will
become effective on the day following the hearing and decision by the City
Council). An appeal from the decision or requirement of the Planning
Commission may be made by any interested party, individual, or group. The
appeal must be filed with the Clerk of the Council, accompanied by the required
filing fee, and a copy sent to the Planning Department, within ten days of the
date of the Commission’s action, by 5:00 p.m. If the final day to appeal falls on
a City Hall observed holiday or a day when City hall is closed, the final day to
appeal shall be extended to the next day City Hall is open for public business.

in court any of the matters on this agenda for which a public hearing is to be
