RESOLUTION NO. 2023-080 <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. (Property <br />Owner), is requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) No. 2023- <br />02 to allow the construction of a rental residential development, consisting of <br />twenty-two apartment units with two units proposed as affordable to very low <br />income households earning less than 50 percent of the area median income <br />(AMI) for the property located at 322 N. Harbor Boulevard. <br />B. The Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan was adopted in 2014 to <br />lay the foundation for a more livable and sustainable corridor by creating zoning <br />to allow for new housing and mixed -use development opportunities, providing <br />development flexibility to meet market demands, using a multimodal approach <br />to circulation, and creating a stronger identity for the area. The regulating plan, <br />which establishes land uses and development standards, allows a variety of <br />housing and commercial projects, including affordable residential communities, <br />live/work units, service and retail, and 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 allows <br />developers to seek a density bonus that allows a project to exceed local <br />density restrictions, as specified by state law, as well as incentives/concessions <br />or waivers that would help the project be built without significant burden and <br />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 />requested incentives/concessions and waivers pursuant to the State's Density <br />Bonus Law. <br />Resolution No. 2023-080 <br />Page 1 of 11 <br />
