The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br />A. Greg Ocasek, representing Warmington Residential California, Inc. <br />(applicant), on behalf of Wesley T.

The <br />selection of the SP-2 development standards for this project is consistent with <br />the overall character of the surrounding community. <br />F.
