DBA No. 2024-02 — Santa Ana-8 Townhomes (510 & 520 N. Harbor Boulevard) May 6, 2025 Page 5 Pursuant to SB 330 and the General Plan Land Use Element, the developer selected the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2) development standards for a tuck - under building type to design the project. Under the Density Bonus Law, the developer sought a specific concession and waivers from certain SP-2 standards to facilitate project development. Table 2 outlines the concession and waivers requested by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission on December 9, 2024, in accordance with Cal. Gov't Code Sec. 65915(e)(1).

Onsite Open Space Requirements . 3-13 Common— Area 15% of lot 12,290 sq. ft. 5% of lot 3,853 sq. ft.

The project's ground floor height and porch dimensions do not meet SP-2 requirements, necessitating slight deviations from its standards to accommodate the design. Although a reduction in open space is requested, the project benefits from its proximity to three nearby parks: Cesar Chavez Campesino Park to the east, Santa Anita Park to the southeast, and Rosita Park to the northwest, all located approximately '/2 mile away. This nearby access to public green spaces helps mitigate the reduced on -site open space. Onsite Parking To proactively address any neighborhood parking impacts that could result from the project, the conditions of approval for the VTTM and terms of the DBA include provisions requiring the following parking management practices, to be incorporated into the final, recorded CC&Rs, and applicable throughout the life of the project: • Requiring onsite parking permits (such as stickers or hang -tags) for any parking in the surface guest parking spaces; • Policies for maximum time vehicles may be parked in the surface guest spaces; • Policies for towing unauthorized vehicles; vehicles parked in unauthorized locations, such as fire lanes; vehicles parking in surface guest parking without a sticker, hang - tag, or other identifiers; and vehicles parked longer than any maximum guest parking timeframes allowed; and • Routine garage inspections to ensure garages are available for vehicle parking.
