Set Public Hearing For <br /> COMMUNITY SERVICE FACILITY FOR THE <br /> YMCA OF ORANGE COUNTY AT 2100 WEST <br /> ALTON AVENUE <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> Q FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> 1. Adopt a resolution approving the extension of the entitlement for Conditional Use Permit No. <br /> 2006-12. <br /> <br /> 2. Adopt a resolution approving the extension of the entitlement for Minor Exception No. 2006-04. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> In January 2008, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-12 and Minor Exception <br /> No. 2006-04 to allow the construction of a 32,000 square foot, two-story community service facility for <br /> <br /> the YMCA of Orange County at 2100 West Alton Avenue. The conditional use permit allowed the <br /> YMCA to share parking with the Christ Our Savior Cathedral Parish that will be located immediately <br /> east of the YMCA site (Exhibit 1). The project was approved as one of four components of the <br /> <br /> Armstrong Ranch development, which also included new single-family residences by Shea Homes, a <br /> public high school and a cathedral parish. Due to significant changes in the economy over the past two <br /> years, the YMCA has delayed construction of the facility until additional funding was secured. <br /> <br /> The YMCA has secured funds to proceed with the project in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of a <br /> <br /> temporary office space, a speed soccer arena and two swimming pools. Phase 2, with a construction <br /> date yet identified, will include the 32,000 square foot, two-story building. Entitlements for development <br /> projects expire two years from the date of approval unless construction has commenced. Since <br /> construction has yet to begin, the YMCA would like to maintain the entitlements for the conditional use <br /> permit and minor exception and is requesting an extension. Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal <br /> Code (SAMC) requires the City Council to approve any request for an extension of entitlements. <br /> 55A-1 <br /> <br />
