McFadden Avenue and 1001 S. Fairview Street) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTIONS <br />1. Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 as conditioned; <br />and <br />2. Adopt a resolution approving Variance No. 2025-01 as conditioned. <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Ilan Golcheh (Applicant), representing Sej Asset Management & Investment Company and <br />Mapocos, LLC (Property Owners), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) <br />No. 2025-03 to allow the construction of a new 3,062-square-foot convenience store (7- <br />Eleven), 3,096-square-foot service station and canopy, and a 3,200-square-foot multi- <br />tenant, commercial building, at an existing commercial shopping center addressed as 2745 <br />W. McFadden Avenue and 1001 S. Fairview Street. The applicant is also requesting <br />approval of Variance No. 2025-01 to allow a reduction in the required front-yard landscaped <br />setback to seven, eight, and twelve feet and a reduction in the required landscaped area of <br />an existing setback abutting residential uses to zero feet to facilitate the proposed <br />development. <br />The applicant is requesting a CUP pursuant to Section 41-199.4 (Noxious Uses) of the Santa <br />Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). The SAMC requires Planning Commission review and <br />approval of a CUP to allow the operation of a land use that requires a permit from a regional, <br />state, or federal agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge regulated compounds, materials, <br />chemicals, or substances located within one thousand (1,000) linear feet of a public park, <br />school (K-12) as defined by Section 11362.768 of the Health and Safety Code, or property <br />used or zoned for residential purposes. The proposed service station is a land use that <br />requires a permit from a state agency to distribute and store fuel and is proposed to be <br />located within 1,000 linear feet of a property zoned for residential purposes. Therefore, the <br />service station is subject to the requirements of Section 41-199.4 of the SAMC and requires <br />review and approval of a CUP. <br />
