Set Public Hearing For COMMUNITY SERVICE FACILITY FOR THE YMCA OF ORANGE COUNTY AT 2100 WEST ALTON AVENUE CONTINUED TO Q FILE NUMBER CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Adopt a resolution approving the extension of the entitlement for Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-12. 2. Adopt a resolution approving the extension of the entitlement for Minor Exception No. 2006-04. DISCUSSION In January 2008, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-12 and Minor Exception No. 2006-04 to allow the construction of a 32,000 square foot, two-story community service facility for the YMCA of Orange County at 2100 West Alton Avenue. The conditional use permit allowed the YMCA to share parking with the Christ Our Savior Cathedral Parish that will be located immediately east of the YMCA site (Exhibit 1). The project was approved as one of four components of the Armstrong Ranch development, which also included new single-family residences by Shea Homes, a public high school and a cathedral parish. Due to significant changes in the economy over the past two years, the YMCA has delayed construction of the facility until additional funding was secured. The YMCA has secured funds to proceed with the project in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of a temporary office space, a speed soccer arena and two swimming pools. Phase 2, with a construction date yet identified, will include the 32,000 square foot, two-story building. Entitlements for development projects expire two years from the date of approval unless construction has commenced. Since construction has yet to begin, the YMCA would like to maintain the entitlements for the conditional use permit and minor exception and is requesting an extension. Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires the City Council to approve any request for an extension of entitlements. 55A-1 Extension of Entitlements for CUP No. 2006-12 & ME No. 2006-04 March 1, 2010 Page 2 The YMCA has already received approval for their precise grading plans and is close to obtaining a building permit for their temporary office space. Further, the applicant has indicated that plans for the remaining portions of the first phase (soccer arena and pools) will be submitted into building plan check within the next 30 days. As permits will be obtained and construction will be commencing by summer 2010, staff recommends that the entitlements for the YMCA of Orange County be extended by a period of one year. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, this project is exempt from CEQA per Section 15061 (b)(3). This determination has been made as it has been determined that the proposed action will not cause a significant effect on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Ja .Trevino Executive Director Planning and Building Agency VF:rb vflreports~cup06-128me06-4.time.cc Exhibit: 1.
