F. On June 3, 2025, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly <br />noticed public meeting and, at that time, considered approval of Density <br />Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02. <br />G. The City Council hereby approves Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-02. <br />This Agreement allows for the construction of the proposed Project in <br />accordance with the provisions of State Density Bonus Law and SAMC <br />Section 41-1607, and in accordance with Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. <br />2025-02 (County Map No. 19329), as conditioned. <br />Section 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality <br />Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified in 2014 <br />in order to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the Harbor Mixed <br />Use Corridor Specific Plan. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), <br />findings of fact, and a statement of overriding consideration were adopted with the 2014 <br />EIR. <br />As proposed, the development is not anticipated to have additional environmental impacts <br />not addressed in the 2014 EIR. Furthermore, in accordance with the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further <br />review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this Project meets all the <br />threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). <br />This exemption applies to projects or sites that: <br />1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the <br />requirement in section 15192(b) regarding community -level environmental review, <br />such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead <br />agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section <br />65943 of the Government Code. <br />2. Meet both of the following size criteria: <br />A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area. <br />B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 <br />square feet. <br />3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location: <br />A. The project is a residential project on an infill site. <br />B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop. <br />4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units: <br />A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units. <br />B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may <br />establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher <br />density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: <br />1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively <br />presumed to promote higher density infill housing. <br />2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density <br />greater than the average density of the residential properties within <br />1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing <br />unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise. <br />Resolution No. 2025-XX <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
