Adopt a resolution approving a one year extension of Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-12 as conditioned. 2. Adopt a resolution approving a one year extension of Variance No. 2002-08 as conditioned. DISCUSSION On January 21, 2003, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-12 to allow the construction of a gas station/mini-market and after hours operation (between 12: 00 midnight and 5: 00 a. m.) of the facility. The Council also approved Variance No. 2002-08 to allow a driveway within 150 feet of an intersection corner radius at 1727 East Dyer. Ron Beard, the owner of the property, has been unable to secure a tenant for the site and is requesting a three-year extension of their entitlements, which are due to expire on January 22, 2005. The three-year extension is being requested so that the property can be marketed, leases negotiated, financing obtained and drawings prepared. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-647 allows the City Council by Resolution to approve up to a three-year extension of a conditional use permit or variance from the time that it would normally become void. The Planning Division supports the extension request; however, since staff is considering revisions to the City's commercial design and development standards, the Planning Division recommends a one year extension of entitlements rather than the three years proposed by the property owner. Staff contends that three years from the original date of approval is sufficient for a project of this size to be completed. Larger more 31A-1 II I Extension of Entitlements for Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-12 Variance No. 2002-08 September 7, 2004 Page 2 complex projects such as large mixed use developments may warrant a longer time extension. The applicant can reapply for an additional extension if they have not secured a tenant within that time period and the City would review the future request based upon the circumstances and policy direction in place at that time. It is therefore recommended that the entitlements for the gas station/mini-market be extended for a period of one year rather than the three years requested by the applicant. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Review No. 2000-208) has been previously prepared for this project. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. sd!:/~- Executive Director Planning & Building Agency BA: rb ba \report ¡¡004 \extension of entitlementscupO¡¡ -l¡¡¡.vaO¡¡ - 08. cc 31A-2 KO - 8/30/04 RESOLUTION NO. 2004-070 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA EXTENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2002-12 AS CONDITIONED AND VARIANCE NO. 2002-08 AS CONDITIONED FOR ONE YEAR FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1727 EAST DYER BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.
