Related is proposing to develop a new transit -oriented affordable housing community on 2.28 acres located at 1126 and 1146 Washington Avenue and the County of Orange parcel directly to the South of 1126 and 1146 Washington Avenue. The site is currently vacant, and positioned within walking distance from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center — a key transit hub for not only Orange County, but all of Southern California. The Project site is on two (2) contiguous undeveloped parcels, one fronting E. Washington Avenue on the northern half of the site (Housing Authority -owned Parcel) and one parcel directly south of the City Parcel (County -owned Parcel). The five original buildings located on the site were demolished in the 1990s by CalTrans during a freeway -widening project. As a vacant and undeveloped site, there is an opportunity to imagine a newly designed site that will truly meet the needs of the local community. The entire site is designated District Center (DC) in the City of Santa Ana 1998 General Plan and zoned Transit Village (TV) in the Transit Zoning Code. The proposed Project includes the development of one residential building, subdivided into three (3) residential portions, with 86 units surrounding two interior, landscaped courtyard/amenity spaces (Exhibit 3). Developed at an overall density of 37.7 units per acre, there will be 16 studios, 26 one - bedrooms units, 22 two -bedroom units, 17 three -bedroom units, and 5 four -bedroom units. All units will be flat apartments located on the first, second, and third floors. Currently, the building has been designed to buffer courtyards, open green areas, and pool area from highway noise and visual Foerlliffi
