The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. Pam Sapetto, representing Toll Brothers Apartment Living (hereinafter <br />referred to as “Applicant”), is requesting approval of Site Plan Review No. <br />2019-01, as conditioned, and Density Bonus Agreement No. 2019-01, as <br />conditioned, to allow the construction of a new mixed-use 220-unit <br />residential and commercial development at 114 and 117 East Fifth Street. <br />B. The Transit Zoning Code was adopted in 2010 as a result of interest in <br />developing mixed-use residential and commercial projects in its project <br />area. The Transit Zoning Code was amended in 2019 to modernize and <br />refine development standards to further these interests. The regulating <br />plan, which establishes land uses and development standards, allows a <br />variety of housing and commercial projects, including mixed-use <br />residential communities, live/work units, hotels, and offices. <br />C. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in <br />base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing <br />affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units <br />feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or <br />waivers that would help the project be built without significant burden and <br />without detriment to public health. <br />D. On September 23, 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa <br />Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all <br />testimony, written and oral. <br />E. Sections 41-2007 and 41-593.5 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) <br />requires a review by the Planning Commission of all plans for <br />4-24
