E. General Plan Amendment No. 2016-02 has been filed to amend the General <br />Plan to change the land use designation from General Commercial (GC) to <br />Urban Neighborhood (UN). <br />1. Currently, the land use designation for this site is General <br />Commercial (GC), which allows commercial developments and uses. <br />This project will require amendments to the Land Use Element, <br />including amending the General Plan Land Use designation to Urban <br />Neighborhood (UN) with a General Plan floor area ratio of 1.0. <br />2. The proposed project will support several goals and policies of the <br />Housing Element. First, the project would be consistent with Goal <br />2, which encourages diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, <br />and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's residents <br />and workforce of all household types, income levels and age <br />groups to foster an inclusive community. Second, the project would <br />support Goal 4, to provide adequate rental and ownership housing <br />opportunities and supportive services. Further, the project would <br />be consistent with several Housing Element policies: Policy HE -2.4 <br />to facilitate diverse types, prices and sizes of housing; and Policy <br />HE -2.6 to provide an affordable component within eligible <br />ownership housing projects. <br />3. The City Council has weighed and balanced the General Plan's <br />policies, both new and old, and has determined that based upon <br />this balancing that General Plan Amendment No. 2016-02 is <br />consistent with the purpose of the general plan. <br />F. Tentative Tract Map No. 2016-02 has been filed seeking approval of a <br />tentative tract map to allow a single lot subdivision for condominium <br />purposes to allow the townhomes to be for individual sale. <br />1. To adopt a Tentative Tract Map, California Government Code <br />Section 66474 requires the following findings: <br />i. The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and <br />improvements are consistent with the District Center <br />designation on the General Plan and are otherwise <br />consistent with all other elements of the General Plan. <br />The proposed subdivision, Tentative Tract Map No. <br />2016-02, will be consistent with the proposed Urban <br />Neighborhood land use designation and density <br />prescribed and all other elements of the General Plan. <br />Resolution No. 2016-029 <br />Page 2 of 17 <br />
