RESOLUTION NO. 2023-068 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA APPROVING DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT <br />NO. 2023-01 AS CONDITIONED FOR A NEW RENTAL <br />RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH FIFTEEN UNITS <br />FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1212 E. FOURTH <br />STREET (APN: 398-385-02) <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br />A. Oscar Uranga (applicant), on behalf of Unison Real Estate Group, LLC <br />(property owner), is requesting approval of density bonus agreement (DBA) <br />No. 2023-01 to allow the construction of a rental residential development, <br />consisting of fifteen apartment units with one unit proposed as affordable to <br />very -low income households earning less than 50 percent of the area median <br />income (AMI) for the property located at 1212 E. Fourth Street, <br />B. The Transit Zoning Code was adopted in 2010 to provide the zoning <br />necessary to support the long-term development of a successful transit <br />program. The regulating plan, which establishes land uses and development <br />standards, allows a variety of housing and commercial projects, including <br />affordable residential communities, live/work units, service and retail, and <br />professional offices. <br />C. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in base <br />density for providing on -site housing units in exchange for providing affordable <br />units on site. To help make constructing on -site affordable units feasible, the law <br />allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers that would help the <br />project be built without significant burden and without detriment to public health. <br />D. The Applicant's request has been thoroughly evaluated by the City's <br />Development Review Committee (DRC) through Development Project No. <br />2021-33. Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, <br />proposed development, and the applicant's requests for incentives/concessions <br />and waivers pursuant to the State's Density Bonus Law. <br />E. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an <br />application for a density bonus agreement containing deviations <br />(incentives/concessions and/or waivers) to be approved by the Planning <br />Commission. <br />Resolution 2023-068 <br />Page 1 of 12 <br />
