The Chavez Residence

Site Plan Review No. 2026-02-SPR, known as The Chavez Residence, involves the expansion of a single-family residence located at 722 S. Parton Street in Santa Ana, California. The project entails adding 275 square feet to the existing 962 square foot structure to enlarge the kitchen and living room and to construct a new laundry area and bathroom. To maintain architectural consistency with the existing home, the addition will feature six inch hardi-plank siding and a one foot recess. This project requires a Planning Commission site plan review as it involves an addition to a non-historical structure within Heninger Park. The project was approved by the City of Santa Ana Planning and Building Agency on July 27, 2026, with a Notice of Exemption filed on July 28, 2026. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is classified under a Class 1 Categorical Exemption for Existing Facilities because the addition increases the total floor area by less than 50 percent and involves only minor exterior alterations. Administrative oversight is managed by Associate Planner Cristian Santana, and the project applicant is Miguel Lora of Lora Construction Services Inc.
