Adopt a resolution approving a one-year extension of Variance No. 2005-
25 (a) , (b) and (c) .
DISCUSSION
On September 19, 2005, the City Council received and filed the staff report
approving Variance No. 2005-25(a), (b) and (c) to allow a reduction in
front yard setbacks, a reduction in landscaping and to waive the loading
space requirement in order to construct a new office building in the
Professional (P) zoning district at 206 North Olive Street.
The project involves the construction of a two-story, 1,480 square foot
office building. The floor plan includes three work spaces, a meeting
room, a storage room and a reception area. The proposed building
elevations will be enhanced by providing natural stone veneer, patinated
metal roofing, clear glass panels and wood walls. A combination of
trees, shrubs and ground cover will be planted within the setback area on
both Olive and Second Streets. Access to the project will be provided
from both Olive and Second Streets. A total of four parking spaces will
be provided which satisfy the code requirement.
Richard and George Chiarini, the owners of the property, have been unable
to complete the construction of the project due to delays in two other
projects that they're currently managing that prevented them from
proceeding with the project plans. As a result, they are requesting a one-
year extension of their entitlements, which were due to expire on September
19, 2007. The city received an extension request on July 2, 2007 before
the variances expired (Exhibit 1).

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 recommends a one-year extension of entitlements rather
than the three years proposed by the property owner. The additional year
should be sufficient for the applicant to complete their other projects and
begin construction of this project. The applicant may reapply for another
extension if necessary. It is therefore recommended that the entitlements
for the office building be extended for a period of one year as requested
by the applicant.
Environmental Impact
This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from
further review pursuant to Section 15303 and 15305. The Class 3
exemption allows the construction of small structures and the Class 5
exemption allows minor alterations in land use limitations. Categorical
Exemption Environmental Review No. 2004-246 has been previously prepared
for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

We have been diligently pursuing our intentions to build on 206 N. Olive Street, a project that at this
time we must extend. This is due tb delays in two other projects that we are curr~,tly managing. As we
have always l~ in pursuit of excellence in our projects, we would like to be certain that this one will
also reflect our sincere efforts to encourage others in improving their properties in Santa Ana.
Would you please notify us as to what is required in the matter of this desired time extension?
Sincerely,
