DESCRIPTION:
Planning Application 22-10 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for the Orange County Superior Court (OCSC) to establish a temporary public courthouse use within the MP zone while the Santa Ana location is renovated. The project proposes various tenant improvements to allow for eight courtrooms, eight private offices for each judge, space for legal and administrative support, and general public areas for court activites. The primary use of the facility will be for small claims and probate issues with the majority of the cases being heard remotely via teleconference. The use will not have any jurors, no criminal proceedings will take place, and there will be no detention facilities on the premises.
