Development Project DP-2025-9-CHG, titled 1200 N. Main Street - Adaptive Reuse Pro, involves the conversion of an existing 9-story, 225,877-square-foot commercial office building in Santa Ana, California, into a mixed-use residential development. The project scope includes the creation of 184 residential units, featuring six live-work units, along with 2,394 square feet of ground floor commercial and retail space, a 1,561-square-foot leasing office, and a 2,231-square-foot amenity area. The project is being managed by the City of Santa Ana, with Pedro Gomez serving as the Principal Planner and Austin VanDerWouden of Burnham Nationwide, Inc. as the project applicant. The project is classified as a ministerial action under the City's Adaptive Reuse Ordinance, meaning it meets all applicable development standards and does not require discretionary approval. Consequently, it is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder on January 27, 2026. The project is identified under NAICS code 236220 and is located at 1200 N. Main Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701.
