5. Has Warmington investigated is this project will overlap with the project being <br />completed on 1st and Lyon? concern about traffic in the area. <br />a. RESPONSE: We would defer to Pedro Gomez, our Senior Planner, as it relates to <br />the projects in the area. To comment regarding traffic in the area related to this <br />project, the current use (Orange County Electrical Training Center) has <br />approximately 170 parking spaces and the proposed project has 105 total <br />parking spaces (102 garage spaces and 3 guest spaces, including 1 ADA space). <br />6. The City of Santa Ana has an additional bonus for moderate units was this looked at? <br />a. RESPONSE: Warmington is following the California Density Bonus Law and City <br />regulations and has selected the low income designation. <br />7. does the state density bonus law provide warmington with any concessions/incentives? <br />and if so what are they? <br />a. RESPONSE: Yes. California Density Bonus Law allows for concessions, maximum <br />parking requirements and waivers and reductions in development standards. <br />i. California Density Bonus Law allows for a calculated maximum of 90 <br />parking spaces. And, the project is providing an additional 15 spaces, a <br />total of 105, that is made up of 102 individual garage spaces, and 3 guest <br />spaces (which includes an ADA space). <br />ii. California Density Bonus Law allows this project two concessions, and <br />one is being used to allow for the reduction in open space. Please note <br />that there are two gathering areas provided in the proposed community. <br />iii. Given the unique position of this property, having a General Plan land use <br />designation of Medium Density Residential (MR-15) and a Zoning <br />designation of General Agriculture (Al), the project is required to select a <br />proposed zoning, which is the Corridor District zoning designation within <br />the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2). Three waivers have <br />been granted regarding the 8 ft Maximum Setback, Stoop Frontage Type <br />and Minimum Ground Floor Height, all of which are more specifically <br />targeted for the Harbor Boulevard Corridor, which SP-2 was created for. <br />iv. An additional waiver has been granted to allow the 6 ft tube steel fence <br />within the front yard setback, as it is an integral component of the gated <br />community. <br />8. Did warmington consider making more than 8 of the 51 units "affordable?" <br />a. RESPONSE: As noted previously, this number of affordable units was derived <br />through the charts provided within the Guide to The California Density Bonus <br />Law during the land planning process. The percentage of affordable units is <br />based on the existing allowable density. And, the low income designation was <br />selected. <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
