Adopt a resolution approving the extension of Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-01 and Variance
Nos. 2015-01 and 2015-02.
DISCUSSION
In April 2015, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2015-01 and Variance
Nos. 2015-01 and 2015-02 for the South Coast Speedwash development at 2402 South Bristol
Street. The conditional use permit allowed the use of the property for a car wash facility, and the
variances were to allow a reduction in required setbacks and parking. Due to the complexities of
the project and the challenges of securing services required to engineer the mixed-use project site,
which includes a car wash, administration building, and a multi -tenant commercial building, the
applicant was unable to move forward with construction before the entitlements expired.
Pursuant to Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), CUPS, variances, and other
entitlements automatically become void should the property owner fail to institute an action to
comply with the provisions of the entitlements 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. Although above -ground construction has yet to begin, the
applicant would like to maintain the entitlements for the CUP and variances and is requesting a
second one-year extension of the approvals. In December 2017, the City issued construction
permits for the project; however, due to continued complexities of the project, the applicant has
been unable to begin above -ground construction and a second extension of the original
entitlements is required. The first one-year extension was approved by City Council on March 7,
2017. Since the applicant is planning to move forward with the project, the Planning Division
recommends that the entitlements for the mixed-use car wash development be extended by a
period of one year from the date of City Council approval.
