The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. Charles Addington, representing Affordable Housing Land Consultants, Inc. <br />(AMG & Associates, hereinafter referred to as "Applicant"), is requesting <br />approval of Site Plan Review No. 2017-08, as conditioned, and Density <br />Bonus Agreement No. 2017-01, as conditioned, to allow the construction <br />of a new 419 -unit affordable rental senior residential community at 2222 <br />East First Street. <br />B. The Metro East Mixed Use overlay district was adopted in 2007 as a result <br />of interest in developing mixed-use residential and commercial projects in <br />its project area. The regulating plan, which establishes land uses and <br />development standards, allows a variety of housing and commercial <br />projects, including mixed-use residential communities, live/work units, <br />hotels, and offices. <br />C. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in <br />base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing <br />affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units <br />feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives or waivers that would <br />help the project be built without significant burden and without detriment to <br />public health. <br />D. On September 11, 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa <br />Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all <br />testimony, written and oral. <br />E. Section 41-595.5 of the <br />Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code (SAMC) requires a <br />review by the Planning <br />Commission <br />of all plans <br />within a zoning district <br />classification combined <br />with an OZ <br />suffix where <br />the applicant wants to <br />Resolution No. 2017-29 <br />Page 1 of 9 <br />
