RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the extension of Variance No. 2008-01.
DISCUSSION
In April 2008, the City Council approved Variance No. 2008-01 to allow the construction of a 10,700
square foot fellowship hall and family life center on the northwest corner of Second and Bristol Streets.
The building will replace a structure that was acquired and demolished by the City as part of the Bristol
Street Widening Project. The approved variance allowed a 10 foot reduction in the side yard setback
along the west property line (Exhibit 1). Due to a significant shift in the local, state and national
economies over the past two years, the Johnson Chapel AME Church has been unable to raise enough
funds to begin construction of the building.
Entitlements for development projects expire two years from the date of approval unless construction
has commenced. Since construction has yet to begin, the Church would like to maintain its variance
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. Although the project has yet to be
submitted into plan check, the fellowship hall and family life center are an integral part of the Church's
operations and will be built as soon as funds are secured. In fact, the Church has had to rely on
utilizing temporary trailers as meeting space until the permanent structure is built. The Church is
anticipating an improvement in the economic conditions that will allow construction to commence. As a
result, staff recommends that the variance for the fellowship hall and family life center building be
extended by a period of one year.
