DISCUSSION
In March 2008, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-37 to allow an expansion to
the Alliance Church of Orange at 2130 North Grand Avenue. The conditional use permit allowed the
construction of a 14,500 square foot gymnasium building as well as approximately 6,100 square feet of
new classroom space. Due to a significant shift in the overall economy over the past few years, the
Alliance Church had been unable to secure the funds necessary to begin the project. As a result, the
entitlements for the site are ready to expire.
Pursuant to Section 41-647 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), conditional use permits (CUP)
automatically become void should the property owner fail to institute an action to comply with the
provisions of the CUP within two years of its approval. This section of the code also allows the property
owner to request an extension of the entitlement up to a period of three years from the date of
expiration. Since construction has yet to begin, the applicant would like to maintain the entitlements for
the conditional use permit and is requesting a one year extension of the entitlements. The applicant
has secured a new architect for the project and is in the process of preparing structural plans for
submittal into Building plan check. Since the project will be moving forward within the next few months,
the Planning Division recommends that the entitlements for the church expansion project be extended
by a period of one year from the date of approval to March 2, 2012.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, this project is exempt from CEQA per
Section 15061 (b)(3). This determination has been made as it has been determined that the proposed
action will not cause a significant effect on the environment.
