Adopt a resolution approving the extension of Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-11.
DISCUSSION
In August 2009, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-11 to allow an expansion
to the Wintersburg Presbyterian Church at 2000 North Fairview Street. The conditional use permit
allowed the construction of approximately 34,348 square feet of floor area, including a new two-story
gymnasium building, classrooms and a parent's room. Due to a significant shift in the overall economy
over the past few years, the Wintersburg Church had been unable to secure the funds necessary to
begin construction on the project. As a result, the entitlements for the site are ready to expire.
Pursuant to Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), conditional use permits (CUP)
automatically become void should the property owner fail to institute an action to comply with the
provisions of the CUP within two years of its approval. This section of the code also allows the property
owner to request an extension of the entitlement up to a period of three years from the date of
expiration. Since construction has yet to begin, the applicant would like to maintain the entitlements for
the conditional use permit and is requesting a one year extension of the entitlements. The applicant
has submitted plans to the City and has commenced the Building plan check process. Since the
project will be moving forward within the next few months, the Planning Division recommends that the
entitlements for the church expansion project be extended by a period of one year from the date of
approval to August 3, 2012.
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.

construction of previously approved projects.

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
