units. The selection of the SP-2 development standards for this Project is <br />consistent with the overall character of the surrounding community. <br />F. 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 help make constructing on -site affordable units feasible, the <br />law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers or <br />reductions of development standards. <br />G. The Applicant's request has been evaluated by the City's Development <br />Review Committee ("DRU) through Development Project No. 2024-12. <br />Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, proposed <br />development, and the Applicant's requests for a concession and waivers or <br />reductions pursuant to the State's Density Bonus Law. <br />H. On April 28, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held <br />a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, <br />written and oral. <br />Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code ("SAMC") requires an <br />application for a density bonus agreement containing deviations <br />(incentives/concessions and/or waivers or reductions) to be approved by <br />the Planning Commission. <br />J. The Planning Commission determined that the following findings, which <br />must be established in order to grant a deviation pursuant to SAMC <br />Section 41-1607, have been established for Density Bonus Agreement <br />No. 2025-02 to allow construction of the proposed Project: <br />1. That the proposed development will materially assist in <br />accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities <br />in economically balanced communities throughout the city. <br />The proposed development will provide a thirty-six unit single- <br />family attached townhome development, four of which are <br />proposed as moderate -income affordable units, contributing <br />toward the City's ownership housing stock to serve the needs <br />of diverse and underserved populations. The construction of <br />this Project will contribute toward an economically balanced <br />community by providing housing for different demographic <br />and income levels in an area rich with employment <br />opportunities, commercial development, and market -rate <br />housing. <br />2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the <br />underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land <br />use element. <br />Resolution No. 2025-XX <br />Page 2 of 13 <br />
