development costs, have resulted in additional delays to the ability to <br />complete begin vertical construction of the project by the December 15, 2023, <br />deadline that was established the City Council -approved entitlement <br />extension. <br />H. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-647, when construction does not commence, <br />these types of entitlements expire after two (2) years unless the applicant <br />applies for, and the City Council approves, an extension. Up to three <br />extensions may be granted. <br />I. It is the Planning Division's policy to recommend no more than one-year <br />extensions at a time, mainly in an effort to encourage the construction of <br />previously approved projects. <br />J. The applicant filed a request for the second one-year extension on <br />September 27, 2023. The extension request came before the City Council on <br />December 5, 2023. <br />K. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the <br />CEQA Guidelines, the extension for this project is exempt pursuant to Section <br />15061(b)(3). This determination has been made as it has been determined that <br />the proposed action to extend the existing, approved entitlement does not have <br />the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment, as the existing, <br />approved entitlement has already been evaluated pursuant to CEQA. <br />Section 2. Site Plan Review No. 2020-03 and Variance No. 2020-06 are each <br />hereby extended for a period of one (1) year until December 15, 2024. This decision is <br />based upon the evidence submitted, which includes, but is not limited to, the Request <br />for Council Action dated December 5, 2023, and exhibits attached thereto, and any <br />public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. <br />Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by <br />the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting <br />this Resolution. <br />ADOPTED this 5th day of December. 2023. <br />Resolution No. 2023-088 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
