Planning and Building Agency City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Planning Commission Staff Report December 8, 2025 Topic: Conditional Use Permit No. 76-38-MOD-1 – Extra Space Storage (212-280 N. Sullivan and 2602 W. Fifth streets) RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt a resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 76-38-MOD-1 to allow the expansion of an existing self-storage facility and to modify previously approved conditions, as conditioned. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Extra Space Properties 103, LLC (“Applicant” and “Property Owner”), is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 76-38-MOD-1 to modify the existing CUP approval in order to allow the expansion of the existing mini-warehouse facility, commonly known as self-storage, at 212-280 N. Sullivan and 2602 W. Fifth streets (“Project”). This request is made pursuant to Sections 41-472.5(p) and 41-649 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), which allows for self-storage facility use with a CUP and modifications to approved entitlements, subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed expansion of the existing self-storage facility, as it is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, supports several General Plan goals and policies, and aligns with the vision for the West Santa Ana Boulevard Focus Area. The Project encourages economic growth by creating jobs and attracting investment, while its design ensures compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and enhances the area’s physical character. The proposed expansion has been carefully developed to minimize impacts on the surrounding community. The Project will provide improved storage options for residents and businesses, serving as a valuable amenity that addresses local needs and enhances convenience and quality of life for the community. DISCUSSION Project Description The Applicant proposes to redevelop a portion of the existing Extra Space Storage site at 212-280 N. Sullivan and 2602 W. Fifth streets. The Project involves demolishing an existing one-story, 1,214-square-foot building currently used as the rental office and manager’s apartment. A new three-story, 84,197-square-foot self-storage building will be constructed in its place, incorporating a 1,246-square-foot rental office and a 750-square- foot manager’s apartment. No changes are proposed to the facility’s hours of operation.
