The Appellant/Business Owner was issued Business License No. 1791 for Money <br />for Cans on November 1, 2002, which remains active to this day. <br />G. On April 10, 2003, the Planning Division issued an LUC to the Appellant/Business <br />Owner, authorizing the operation of a small collection facility at the property. <br />H. On November 7, 2024, the City issued a Notice of Proposed Revocation to the <br />Appellant/Business Owner following multiple Code Enforcement Compliance <br />Inspections. The notice included a comprehensive list of outstanding code <br />violations from May 16, October 1, and October 9, 2024, and scheduled a hearing <br />for December 12, 2024. <br />I. On December 12, 2024, the PBA Director conducted a hearing, pursuant to SAMC <br />Section 41-676, to address alleged violations that the facility was not operating in <br />compliance with the standards for small collection facilities. <br />J. On December 23, 2024, the PBA Director issued a letter revoking LUC No. 2003- <br />03. The decision was based on the PBA Director's determination that the small <br />collection facility was operating in a manner that violated the applicable SAMC <br />regulations and was inconsistent with the terms under which the land use <br />certificate was originally granted. <br />K. On January 14, 2025, the Appellant/Business Owner, filed an appeal of the PBA <br />Director’s revocation of LUC No. 2003-03. <br />L. Therefore, pursuant to SAMC Section 41-677, the PBA Director’s decision to <br />revoke LUC No. 2003-03 is vacated and the Planning Commission shall determine <br />whether to issue or revoke the land use certificate in accordance with the <br />applicable requirements of the Chapter 41. <br />M. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-677, the Appellant was given at least five (5) days <br />prior written notice by the City of the time and place at which the planning <br />commission would consider the application or revocation. <br />N. On April 14, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing <br />on the appeal of revocation for LUC No. 2003-03: <br />O. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana has determined to revoke LUC <br />No. 2003-03, finding that it was being used in violation of applicable zoning <br />regulations. The facility consistently failed to adhere to the standards for small <br />collection facilities outlined in SAMC Section 41-1253. The violations contradict <br />the terms under which the LUC was originally granted, demonstrating a disregard <br />for applicable regulations. Following the December 12, 2024, hearing regarding <br />the Notice of Revocation, the PBA Director made the following findings upon <br />reviewing Code Enforcement Division’s Compliance Inspection reports: <br />
