Planning and Building Agency Item # 3 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report July 14, 2025 Topic: Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-14 – South Coast Technology Center (3600 S. Susan Street) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-14, as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jeffrey Reese with C.J. Segerstrom & Sons (“Property Owner”), representing Anduril Industries (“Applicant”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2025- 14 to allow the installation of an exterior Jet-A fuel dispenser and an interior paint booth at 3600 S. Susan Street (“Project”). The applicant is requesting a CUP pursuant to Section 41-199.4 (Noxious Uses) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). The SAMC requires Planning Commission review and approval of a CUP to allow the operation of a land use that requires a permit from a regional, state, or federal agency to handle, store, emit, or discharge regulated compounds, materials, chemicals, or substances located within one thousand (1,000) linear feet of a public park, school (K-12) as defined by Section 11362.768 of the Health and Safety Code, or property used or zoned for residential purposes. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant’s request because the Project supports ongoing redevelopment efforts within the Specific Development No. 58 (SD-58) zoning district and helps realize the vision of the South Coast Technology Center as a viable industrial and technology campus. Moreover, the project has been designed to meet all health, safety, and regulatory requirements, and no adverse impacts to surrounding land uses are anticipated. Lastly, the Project is consistency with the City’s General Plan and meets the required CUP findings, including contributions to public safety, economic development, and alignment with zoning regulations and industrial land use designations.
