RESOLUTION NO. 2023-XXX <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA APPROVING DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT <br />NO. 2023-02 AS CONDITIONED FOR A NEW RENTAL <br />RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH TWENTY-TWO <br />UNITS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 322 NORTH <br />HARBOR BOULEVARD (APN: 198-051-17) <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. The Jager Company, Ltd. (Applicant), on behalf of P&P Bros Corp. <br />(Property Owner), is requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement <br />(DBA) No. 2023-02 to allow the construction of a rental residential <br />development, consisting of twenty-two apartment units with two units <br />proposed as affordable to very low income households earning less than 50 <br />percent of the area median income (AMI) for the property located at 322 N. <br />Harbor Boulevard. <br />B. The Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan was adopted in 2014 <br />to lay the foundation for a more livable and sustainable corridor by creating <br />zoning to allow for new housing and mixed -use development opportunities, <br />providing development flexibility to meet market demands, using a <br />multimodal approach to circulation, and creating a stronger identity for the <br />area. 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 incentivize constructing on -site affordable units, the law <br />allows developers to seek a density bonus that allows a project to exceed <br />local density restrictions, as specified by state law, as well as <br />incentives/concessions or waivers that would help the project be built without <br />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 />2022-03. Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, <br />proposed development, and the Applicant's requests for a density bonus, and <br />Resolution No. 2023-XXX <br />Page 1 of 12 <br />
