Formed in 2001, the Commission has been successful in <br />partnering and working with Orange County jurisdictions to create effective housing and land -use <br />policies that has led to the new construction of homes affordable to lower income working families. <br />It is important that the City ensures that the proposed changes to the transit zoning code are <br />harmonious with the State of California's Density Bonus Law. We do not want to impede <br />compliance with state law or affect the development of affordable housing in the City of Santa Ana. <br />This aligns with the city's Strategic Plan Goal 5, Strategy 3. Facilitate diverse housing opportunities <br />and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods. <br />The Kennedy Commission requests that this item be continued and reconsidered by the City <br />Council. If you have any questions, please free to contact me at (949) 250-0909 or <br />cesarc@kennedycoinmission.org. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cesar Covanubias <br />Executive Director <br />
