Why Extend?
The temporary implementation of this program is intended to provide a 12-
month period of time for staff to observe the effectiveness of the measures in
a fully open economy and will aid in a thorough and comprehensive
assessment of their impacts.
The 12-month period is intended to provide an entire calendar year to review
the possible impacts of the implementation of this program through the
summer season, back -to -school period in the fall, winter holiday shopping
season, post -holiday shopping period, and spring.
Permanent Regulations
Prior to the expiration of this 12-month time period, staff will present all
findings and observations and recommended permanent regulations,
standards, and policies changes for the City Council to consider.
The City Council also authorizes the Executive Director of the Planning and
Building Agency to modify, refine, or terminate all relief measures under this
temporary program as needed.
An interagency team of staff, including PBA, CDA, PWA, and PD, are
coordinating to update The City of Santa Ana Guide for Expanded Restaurant +
Retail Spaces.

implementation of COVID-19 relief measures for certain
outdoor business activities specified in Executive Order No.
5-2020 and City Council Resolution No. 2020-055 for a
period of one year from the date the Governor announces
the decision for California to fully open the economy and
