("AMG & Associates"), is <br />requesting approval of a site plan review (SPR) and a density bonus agreement (DBA) to allow the <br />construction of an affordable 552 -unit rental family-oriented mixed-use commercial and residential <br />community known as First Point. As proposed, the project requires approval of several waivers <br />from the Metro East Mixed Use (MEMU) overlay district's development standards and/or <br />development concessions through the density bonus agreement pursuant to California Government <br />Code sections 65915 through 65918 and Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-1600. <br />The project also includes construction of a portion of the project's required fire lane on an adjacent, <br />developed property located at 2020 East First Street. Staff is recommending approval of the <br />applicant's request due to the project's satisfaction of meeting the intent of the MEMU overlay <br />district to promote a pedestrian -oriented environment with a mix of land uses and because the <br />project will provide additional affordable rental housing stock to an underserved segment of the <br />region's population. <br />Table 1: Prosect and Location Information <br />Item <br />Information <br />Project Address <br />2110, 2114, and 2020 East First Street <br />Nearest Intersection <br />First Street and Golden Circle Drive <br />General Plan Designation <br />District Center (DC) <br />ATTACHMENT A <br />65C-3 <br />
