INCONSISTENCY WITH HOUSING ELEMENT POLICIES The Staff Report claims the hotel -related provisions are consistent with the City's General Plan by citing a few objectives under the Land Use Element (i.e., Goal LU-2, Policy LU-2.2, and LU- 2.4) but offers no discussion of consistency with the City's Housing Element. (Staff Report p. 8.) The Housing Element identifies that the City has a Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA") of 3,137 new housing units needed during 2021-2029. (See Housing Element,4 p. 2.) The Housing Element acknowledges multi -family housing is important in meeting this housing goal and identifies various areas to focus new housing, including the Metro East Mixed -Use ("MEMU") Overlay Zone,5 Downtown Santa Ana, MacArthur Place, South Main Street Grand Avenue/17th Street, West Santa Ana Boulevard, 55 Freeway/Dyer Road, South Bristol Street, the Adaptive Reuse Overlay,6 Harbor Mixed -Use Transit Corridor (i.e., SP-2),7 Transit Zoning Code (i.e., SD-84), and MainPlace Specific Plan (i.e., SP-4).8 (Id., at pp. 9, B-6; see also Land Use Element,9 p. LU-27 [fig. LU-5 focus areas].) Within and just adjacent to these areas are zoning districts that would be affected by 4 Housing Element, https://storage.googleapis.com/proudcity/santaanaca/uploads/2022/09/ Housing_Element_-Complete-9.16.22_Compressed.pdf. 5 MEMU, p. 3 (Memu Overlay Location), https://storage.googleapis.com/proudcity/santaanaca/uploads/ 2 022/05/Metro- East- Mixed-U se-Overlay-Zone.pdf, 6 Adaptive Reuse Ordinance, PDF pp. 5-6 (showing incentive areas, including N.
