Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01 <br />May 28, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />Each unit will have three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a powder room, a detached two-car <br />garage and laundry facilities. Access to the parking will be from an existing public alley to the east <br />of the property. The unit sizes will vary from 1,362 to 1,614 square feet. Each unit will have its <br />own private rear yard located between the unit and garage. The project has been designed in a <br />California Contemporary style that provides exterior finishes including horizontal lap siding, plaster <br />and metal canopies (Exhibits 3 through 6). <br />A tract map for condominium purposes is proposed, since the units will be offered for sale. <br />Common open space, driveways and common landscape will be held in common ownership, under <br />the administration of a homeowners' association (HOA), while each unit and their corresponding <br />private open space and garages will be held in individual ownership (Exhibit 7). <br />Proiect Backcround <br />The proposed project is part of a larger development known as the Station District, which <br />encompassed approximately six acres of land previously owned by the Santa Ana Redevelopment <br />Agency (RDA). The properties were the subject of a disposition and development agreement <br />approved in June of 2010 between the RDA and a development team which included Related <br />California, Griffin Realty Corporation, and City Ventures. <br />The Station District project is comprised of approximately 114 rental units and 24 for sale units. <br />Related California recently completed construction of the rental component of the project which <br />includes: Triada Court - a Mission Revival courtyard-style multi-family project with 74 units; Triada <br />Gardens - a Contemporary Craftsman-style multi-family project with 25 units; and Triada Village - a <br />collection of 10 historic single-family homes that were retained from the early-1900's neighborhood <br />and rehabilitated to their former historic character. With the exception of two manager units, 80% of <br />the units will be available to families meeting the criteria for Very Low income (approximately <br />$46,500 per year for a family of four), and 20% of the units will be available to families meeting the <br />criteria for Extremely Low income (approximately $27,900 per year for a family of four). The term of <br />this affordability requirement is 55 years and the units help to fulfill the City's state-mandated <br />requirement to provide for affordable housing. <br />The City Ventures component of the project is comprised of 24 for-sale townhouses of which, five <br />units will be offered to those meeting the criteria for Moderate income (approximately $ 100,900 per <br />year for a family of four). These units will also contribute to the City's satisfaction of its affordable <br />housing requirement. <br />The Station District project also includes a number of public improvements, such as a new joint-use <br />community center at Garfield School, neighborhood-serving retail within the Triada Court building, <br />improvements to sewer and water systems, upgrades to street lighting fixtures and a public art <br />component. <br />32A-4
