The General Plan is implemented through the City’s development regulations. The Planning Commission has the authority to approve or deny applications concerning development within the City. The category of applications includes Tentative Tract Maps, Conditional Use Permits, Minor Exceptions, and Variances. The Planning Commission also makes recommendations to the City Council on all applications for amendments to Zoning and the General Plan.

The Planning Commission agenda is posted at least 72 hours prior the meeting on the City’s website at www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings, and on the posting boards outside the Civic Center entrance, Council Chamber, and Library. The items on the agenda are arranged in four categories: 1. Consent Calendar: These are relatively minor in nature, do not have any outstanding issues or concerns, and do not require a public hearing. All consent calendar items are considered by the Commission as one item and a single vote is taken for their approval, unless an item is pulled from the consent calendar for individual discussion. There is typically no Commission discussion of consent calendar items unless requested. 2. Business Items: Items in this category are general in nature and may require Commission action. Public input may be received at the request of the Commission. 3. Public Hearings: This category is for case applications that require, by law, a hearing open to public comment because of the discretionary nature of the request. Public hearings are formally conducted and public input/testimony is requested at a specific time. This is your opportunity to speak on the item(s) that concern you. 4. Work Study Session: Items in this category are generally items requiring discussion. No action will be taken.
