Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> <2, a)~' FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Adopt a resolution approving the extension of Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-37. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> In March 2008, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-37 to allow an <br /> expansion to the Alliance Church of Orange at 2130 North Grand Avenue. The conditional use <br /> permit allowed the construction of a 14,500 square foot gymnasium building as well as <br /> approximately 6,100 square feet of new classroom space. Due to a significant shift in the overall <br /> economy over the past few years, the Alliance Church had been unable to secure the funds <br /> necessary to begin the project. As a result, the entitlements for the site are ready to expire. <br /> <br /> Pursuant to Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), conditional use permits <br /> (CUP) automatically become void should the property owner fail to institute an action to comply <br /> with the provisions of the CUP within two years of its approval. This section of the code also allows <br /> the property owner to request an extension of the entitlement up to a period of three years from the <br /> date of expiration. Since construction has yet to begin, the applicant would like to maintain the <br /> entitlements for the conditional use permit and is requesting a one year extension of the <br /> entitlements. The applicant has been working with their architect to prepare structural plans for <br /> submittal into Building plan check. Since the applicants are hopeful that they can move forward <br /> within the next few months, the Planning Division recommends that the entitlements for the church <br /> expansion project be extended by a period of one year from the date of approval to March 2, 2013. <br /> <br /> Environmental Impact <br /> <br /> In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, this project is exempt from CEQA per <br /> Section 15061 (b)(3). This determination has been made as it has been determined that the <br /> proposed action will not cause a significant effect on the environment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 55A-1 <br />
