As a result, the entitlements for <br />the site are ready to expire. <br />Pursuant to Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), conditional use permits <br />(CUP) automatically become void should the property owner fail to institute an action to comply <br />with the provisions of the CUP within two years of its approval. This section of the code also allows <br />the property owner to request an extension of the entitlement up to a period of three years from the <br />date of expiration. Although the permitting process has yet to begin, the applicant would like to <br />maintain the entitlements for the conditional use permit and is requesting a one-year extension of <br />the CUP. The applicant has secured the expertise of an architect and is expecting to submit plans <br />into building plan check before the end of the year. Since the applicant is planning to move forward <br />with the project, the Planning Division recommends that the entitlements for the restaurant be <br />extended by a period of one year from the date of City Council approval. <br />55F-1 <br />
