RESOLUTION NO. 2016-020
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA FOR THE EXTENSION OF VARIANCE NO.
2012-07 FOR TWO YEARS FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 2702 NORTH BRISTOL STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. In October of 2012, the City Council approved Variance No. 2012-07 to
allow the construction of a new commercial building at 2702 North Bristol
Street.
B. The applicant requested and received approval for a one year extension
for Variance No. 2012-07 in October 2014. It is the Planning Division's
policy to recommend extensions of one or two years in an effort to
encourage the construction of previously approved projects.
C. The current extension request came before the City Council on March 15,
2016.
D. Due to a significant shift in the local, state and national economies that
commenced several years ago, the property owner has been impacted by
the economic downturn and has been unable to start construction of the
project. Although the project has yet to be submitted into building plan
check, the applicant is working on obtaining the financing that is needed to
begin construction of the project.
E. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code section 41-647, where
construction does not commence, these types of entitlements expire after
two years unless the applicant applies for, and the City Council approves,
an extension.
F. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), 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.
Section 2. Variance No. 2012-07 is hereby extended for a period of two (2)
years from the date of the extended term to October 14, 2017. This decision is based
upon the evidence submitted, which includes, but is not limited to, the Request for
Resolution No. 2016-020
