Review No. 2022-03 and Tentative Tract Map No. 2022-02 to facilitate <br />construction of the community as a for -sale development. <br />F. On August 16, 2022, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly <br />noticed public meeting and at that time considered all testimony, written and <br />oral. <br />G. The City Council determines that pursuant to SAMC Section 41-595.5, the <br />project is in compliance with all applicable development standards outlined <br />within the Metro East Mixed Use (MEMU) overlay district, with the exception of <br />required on -site publicly -accessible open space, which, pursuant to the <br />California Government Code sections 65915 through 65918, may be reduced <br />through approval of the requested Density Bonus Agreement application. <br />H. The City Council hereby determines that the following findings, which must be <br />established in order to grant this Density Bonus Agreement pursuant to <br />SAMC Section 41-1607, have been established for Density Bonus Agreement <br />No. 2022-02 to allow construction of the proposed project: <br />1. That the proposed development will materially assist in <br />accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing <br />opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the <br />city. <br />The proposed development will provide a 35-unit single- <br />family attached townhome development, four of which are <br />proposed as moderate -income affordable units, contributing <br />toward the City's ownership housing stock to serve the <br />needs of diverse and underserved populations. The area in <br />which the project is proposed, the Metro East Mixed Use <br />overlay district, currently contains multiple mixed -use <br />communities either built, under construction, or entitled. The <br />construction of this project will contribute toward an <br />economically balanced community by providing housing for <br />different demographic and income levels in an area rich with <br />employment opportunities, commercial development, and <br />market -rate housing. <br />2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of <br />the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan <br />land use element. <br />The project site is located in an area already identified in <br />both the City's Zoning Code (the Metro East Mixed Use <br />overlay district) and General Plan (the Land Use and <br />Housing elements) for new residential communities. <br />Moreover, the proposed density of 25 units per acre is <br />Resolution No. 2022-069 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
