CUP No. 2025-14 – South Coast Technology Center (3600 S. Susan Street) July 14, 2025 Page 3 5 1 7 9 Table 1: Project and Location Information Project Background On October 15, 1990, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2089, approving General Plan Amendment No. 90-08, Amendment Application (Zone Change) No. 1043, Development Agreement No. 1990-03, and certification of an Environmental Impact Report. These approvals allowed for the increase in floor area ratio from 0.4 to 0.72 within the specific development area and rezoning of certain properties from Light Industrial (M- 1) to SD-58, which would provide for precise zoning regulations specific to development of an office/industrial park (“Lake Center Business Park”). Lake Center Business Park consisted of 33 acres of land with an allowable build out of 970,120 square feet. On July 18, 2005, the City of Santa Ana City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2684, approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2005-01, which amended SD-58 and modified the standards to conditionally permit private recreational fields and trade schools within the boundaries of the Lake Center Business Park. At the same public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-046 approving various entitlements to facilitate a trade school use and to allow a private recreational field at 3100 W. MacArthur Boulevard. The Lake Center Business Park was constructed in the mid- to late-1980s, in compliance with the original development plans approved by Ordinance No. NS-2089 consisting of three, three-story office buildings that have been occupied by office uses since. The business park did include a vacant parcel, approximately 5.58 acres in size, located at the southwest corner of Lake Center Drive and Susan Street (APN: 414-261-01), originally entitled for 320,000 square feet of additional office construction, but which was never constructed.
