Item # 1
City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Planning Commission Staff Report
April 8, 2024
Topic: Abandonment No. 2023-02 – Street Vacation adjacent to 1601 and 1607 N. Bristol
Street.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution finding Abandonment No. 2023-02 to be consistent with the General
Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bristol Center Properties, LLC, the property owner of 1601 and 1607 North Bristol
Street, is requesting that the City of Santa Ana vacate a portion of the public right-of-
way (ROW) located to the west of and adjacent to the properties at 1601 and 1607
North Bristol Street (Exhibit 2). The City previously designated a portion of 1601 and
1607 North Bristol Street as public street right-of-way and a portion of the area
designated as such is situated outside the limits of the Bristol Street improvements. The
property owner is requesting the vacation of the unimproved 392-square-foot section
adjacent to 1601 and 1607 North Bristol Street to accommodate a proposed eating
establishment with drive-through window service, which will be considered by the
Planning Commission at a separate public hearing meeting if the requested
abandonment is approved. In accordance with California Government Code Section
65402(a), staff is recommending that Planning Commission adopt a resolution finding
Abandonment No. 2023-02 consistent with the General Plan.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The 392-squre-foot ROW portion that is currently owned by the City was originally
designated to be used as part of the Bristol Street widening improvements. However, after
completion of the widening improvements the small ROW portion remained unimproved.
The owners of 1601 and 1607 North Bristol Street are seeking City approval to vacate the
unimproved portion of Bristol Street, intending to incorporate this land into their private
property for future development. The Public Works Agency has deemed the 392-square-
foot portion to be unnecessary for present or protective public use.

Area of Vacation Size 392 sq. ft.
Existing Site Development The subject site is currently vacant and unimproved.
Project Background
In 1991, the City adopted the Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan, which identified future
street widening impacts to this site as well as the adjacent properties. In 2017, the
structures that existed at 1601 and 1607 North Bristol Street were demolished. In 2019,
the City designated the 392 sq. ft. portion as public street right-of-way. Since then, the
properties at 1601 and 1607 North Bristol Street and the 392 sq. ft. public ROW portion
have remained vacant and unimproved.
Project Analysis
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65402(a), staff is recommending
that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution finding Abandonment No. 2023-02
consistent with the General Plan. California Government Code Section 65402
(Restrictions on Acquisition and Disposal of Real Property) requires that the Planning
Commission review and approve certain actions related to City property. Actions related
to acquiring, using, or disposing of public property require the Planning Commission to
review the proposed use for conformity with the General Plan. The segment of street
right-of-way is situated outside the limits of the recently improved street (Exhibit 2).
General Plan Consistency
Abandonment No. 2023-02 is consistent with the goals and polices of the General Plan
of the City. Policy LU-2.6 of the Land Use Element encourages investment by promoting
rehabilitation of properties and encouraging increased levels of capital investment to
create a safe and attractive environment. Abandonment No. 2023-02 will convert a
currently undeveloped, unutilized and unattractive space, which has the potential to
collect debris and waste, which must be maintained by the City, into a landscaped and
privately maintained element of a new commercial site. Policy M-1.9 of the Mobility
Element encourages the City to ensure the street network is consistent with standards
set in the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Master Plan of Arterial

Highways (MPAH) and the Congestion Management Program. The Mobily Element
classifies Bristol as a Major Arterial, which is typically a street with six travel lanes, a
center median, bus transit, pedestrian sidewalks, and bicycle lanes. The recently
completed segment of Bristol Street between Washington Street and Bristol Street
includes all of the components described in the Mobility Element for a Major Arterial and
further defined in the Bristol Street Corridor Specific Plan adopted by City Council on May
15, 2018. Abandonment No. 2023-02 allows current improvements to stay in place and
removes excess right-of-way beyond current improvements. Policy M-4.2 of the Mobility
Element encourages coordinated transportation planning efforts with land use through
development project review, specifically encouraging active transportation, transit use,
and connectivity through physical improvements and public realm amenities identified
during the City’s Development Review process. Abandonment No. 2023-02 allows
additional space for on-site circulation sufficient to reduce the number of curb-cut access
points from two driveways to one driveway. The reduction in driveways limits the number
of conflict points for pedestrians in the sidewalk and cyclists in the bike lane. The reduction
in driveway curb-cuts also results in less removal of the protected bike lane raised
median.
If the Planning Commission finds the requested Abandonment to be consistent with the
General Plan, the request for abandoning the subject property will be forwarded to the
City Council for approval as a business calendar item at a future meeting. If approved by
the City Council, the owner of the adjacent property at 1601 and 1607 N. Bristol Street
will return to the Planning Commission for consideration of entitlements to facilitate a new
eating establishment with drive-through window service.
Public Notification and Community Outreach
Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State
regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map,
and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 3. The site is located within the boundaries of
the Washington Square Neighborhood Association, whose leadership was notified of the
project.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed vacation of the Vacation Area is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a
significant impact on the environment. Additionally, the proposed vacation is exempt from
CEQA review under section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Resolution No. 2024-XXX
Page 2 of 4
NOW THEREFORE, BE IS RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City
of Santa Ana as follows:
Section 1. The Planning Commission hereby determines that the proposed
vacation of the Vacation Area, as shown on Exhibit A, is in conformance with the City’s
2022 General Plan. The decision is based upon the Request for Planning Commission
Action dated April 8, 2024, and exhibits attached thereto, and the public testimony, written
and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
The proposed vacation is in conformance with the Land Use Element of the City’s 2022-
2045 General Plan Goal LU-2, Policy LU-2.6 (Encourage Investment). The proposed
vacation will convert a currently undeveloped, unutilized and unattractive space, which
has the potential to collect trash and must be maintained by the City, into a landscaped
and privately maintained element of a new commercial site.
The proposed vacation is also in conformance with the Mobility Element of the City’s
2022-2045 General Plan as follow:
• Goal M-1, Policy 1.9 (Regional Consistency). The proposed vacation of an
unimproved section of roadway will remove excess right of way beyond current
improvements, and leave intact a portion of Bristol Street that is fully improved with
pavement, bike lanes and sidewalks, and which is consistent with the standards of
Orange County Transportation Authority Master Plan of Arterial Highways
• Goal M-4, Policy 4.2 (Project Review). The proposed vacation allows additional
space for on-site circulation sufficient to reduce the number of curb-cut access
points from two driveways to one driveway. The reduction in driveways limits the
number of conflict points for pedestrians in the sidewalk and cyclists in the bike
lane. The reduction in driveway curb-cuts also results in less removal of the
protected bike lane raised median.
Section 2. The proposed vacation of the Vacation Area is exempt from review
under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the
State CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that it will have a significant impact on the environment. The proposed vacation is also
exempt from CEQA review under section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
