Adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03 amending certain
development and design standards applicable within the Transit Zoning Code (Specific
Development (SD) No. 84) zoning district.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
At the regular City Council meeting on June 4, 2019, the City Council conducted the public hearing
regarding Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2019-03. After receiving staffs presentation
and the recommendation from the Planning Commission on this matter, the City Council continued
the public hearing for further clarifications regarding the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code
(TZC),where the proposed changes are applicable, the decision -making and review process for
development projects within the TZC, and the proposed parking options and changes within the
TZC.
The TZC was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010. As a form -based code, the TZC
regulates the physical form of development projects and buildings affecting the public realm in
addition to traditional zoning regulations relating to uses, parking, and setbacks. Since its adoption
in 2010, the TZC regulations have not achieved the overarching goals of integrating new
development and the rehabilitation of existing structures in the zoning district, and have not
stimulated significant new developments within the TZC zoning district. Feedback from the
development community over the years indicates that the existing regulations are not practical and
at times, prohibitive in an existing environment with small parcels having limited frontage and depth.

The goal of the proposed amendments are to update the regulations and design requirements
within the TZC and to incorporate best planning and land use practices to meeting the goals of
the TZC. The proposed revisions addresses building heights, off-street parking options, parking
driveway standards, open space standards, and building massing and setbacks standards within
the TZC zoning district.
Updated Report and Clarifications
This updated RFCA report addresses City Council concerns and questions and provides a
summary of the proposed revisions to the TZC as follows:
Transit Zoning Code Boundaries: The TZC boundaries include Flower Street to the west, Civic
Center Drive and Washington Avenue to the north, Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway and Grand Avenue to
the east, and First Street to the south. The TZC location within the City of Santa Ana is highlighted
on the map below in blue (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Transit Zoning Code (Specific Development 84) Zoning District & Area of Applicability
Transit Zoning Code Sub -Districts Affected by the Proposed Amendments: The TZC
establishes eight separate sub -districts. These sub -districts are defined by the type and density of
development permitted. The sub -districts are listed in order of intensity below with the Transit Village
sub -district allowing the most intensive developments and the Open Space sub -district the least
intensive developments.

include a combination of by -right and discretionary processes and procedures. Figure 3 below
outlines the established decision -making and review process for the development projects proposed
within the TZC. Currently, all General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes, and Code Amendments
related to the TZC requires City Council approval. Discretionary actions such as Conditional Use
Permits, Site Plan Approvals, and Variances, are reviewed and approved by the Planning
Commission or Zoning Administrator. The proposed TZC amendments will not change this process.

Figure 3. Transit Zoning Code Decision -Making and Review Process
Summary of Proposed Transit Zoning Code Amendments: The proposed amendments
include changes to building heights, off-street parking options, parking driveway standards, open
space standards, massing, and setbacks in certain areas of the TZC. These amendments are as
summarized below:
Building Height— Lined Block Building Type
Sub -district Impacted: Downtown (DT) sub -district
Building Type Affected: Lined Block
Proposed Change: Increase maximum height of Lined Block Buildings from 5 stories to 10
stories in the DT sub -district.
Currently, the DT sub -district allows a maximum of 10-stories for a Flex Block building type and a
maximum of 5 stories for a Lined Block building type. Examples of each of these buildings types are
illustrated below (see Figure 4). The Flex Block and Lined Block are very similar building types.
Therefore, staff is proposing a maximum of 10-stories for the Lined Block building type, which is
consistent with the 10-story maximum height already allowed for the Flex Block building type.
75A-4
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03 — Transit Zoning Code Amendments
July 2, 2019
Page 5
Figure 4. Flex Block Building Type (Left Image) and a Line Block Building Type (Right Image)
By increasing the Lined Block building type height to 10-stories, the TZC would maintain the existing
ten -story building height limit, but would allow additional types of buildings to be 10-stories in height.
The TZC has previously established that Lined Block and Flex Block building types fit well in the DT
sub -district, while other building types such as the Tower on Podium building type may be too large
to fit on the small downtown blocks.
Off -Street Parking Options — In -Lieu Options and/or Park -Once Program
Sub -district Impacted: Transit Village (TV), Downtown (DT), Urban Center (UC) sub -districts
Proposed Change: Allow required residential guest and nonresidential parking standards to
be met by any combination of the following:
• On -site parking
• Participation in a Park Once Program
• Payment of an In -lieu parking fee.
Currently, the TZC requires developments in all sub -districts to meet their parking requirements on
site. The residential parking requirement of 2 spaces per unit must be provided on -site. However,
non-residential and residential guest parking standards in the Transit Village and Downtown sub-
district can be met by participating in a Park Once Program and paying a parking in -lieu fee. Both
programs have not been defined or established and will require review and approval by the City
Council prior to implementation.
Parking in -lieu fee programs allow applicants for development projects to pay a designated fee (or
"in -lieu") instead of providing off-street parking spaces ordinarily required by the TZC. The purpose
of an in -lieu program is not to impose an additional fee or burden on development, but to provide an
alternative for projects having difficulty meeting minimum requirements on -site due to space
constraints, financial feasibility, or both. Alternatively, a Park -Once Program allows people to park
their car once and circulate throughout a downtown via transit or by walking. This program
encourages utilization of existing parking structures, enhanced pedestrian mobility, and business
viability.
The proposed amendments to the TZC would expand the future parking requirement options
through a combination of onsite parking, paying an in -lieu fee, and/or participating in a Park Once
75A-5
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03 — Transit Zoning Code Amendments

Page 6
Program. This means that an applicant would be able to satisfy guest or non-residential parking
requirements by providing onsite parking or by paying an in -lieu fee, and/or participating in a Park
Once Program, if these options were adopted by the City Council.
In addition, the amendments would extend the parking options currently allowed in the Transit
Village (TV) and the Downtown (DT) sub -district to the Urban Center (UC) sub -district. At this time,
the amendments are not proposing to establish either parking option program. Once developed,
staff will bring a Parking In -lieu Fee Program and a Park -Once Program to the City Council for
review and adoption. The City Council will be the final authority for considering and approving the
use of the in -lieu fee alone or in combination with a Park Once Program to satisfy on -site parking
requirements for individual projects.
Off -Street Parking Options — Historic Buildings
Sub -district Impacted: Urban Center (UC) sub -district east of Minter Street
Buildings Impacted: Buildings or structures listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historic
Places, the National Register of Historic Places, or within the Santa Ana
Downtown Historic District
Proposed Change: Exempt designated historic structures in the UC sub -district east of
Minter Street from providing additional onsite parking
The TZC currently exempts historic buildings within the Downtown (DT) sub -district from having to
provide new parking if the building is converted to a new use, as long as the building is not
increased in size.
The proposed amendment would expand this exemption to apply to existing and future designated
historic buildings located within the Urban Center (UC) sub -district, which is adjacent to the DT sub-
district. The proposed amendments would affect approximately ten existing buildings that have been
designated historic within the UC sub -district. These include the following buildings:
• Dr. Howe -Waffle House —120 West Civic Center Drive
• Grand Central Market—110-122 N. Sycamore and 190-117 N. Broadway
• Phillips Block Building — 301-309 West Fourth Street
• United Presbyterian Church—113-115 East Santa Ana Boulevard
• Smith -Tuthill Funeral Parlor —518 North Broadway
• Grand Central Building —125 North Broadway
• Knights of Pythias Hall — 420-424 North Broadway and 300-322 West Fifth Street
• Zerman Building — 201 West First Street
• Empire Market — 202-208 North Broadway
• Episcopal Church of the Messiah — 614 North Bush Street

Parking Driveway Standards
Sub -district Impacted: Transit Village (TV), Downtown (DT), Urban Center (UC), Corridor
(CDR), Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2), and the Urban Neighborhood 1
(UN-1) sub -districts
Proposed Change: Allow administrative approval of driveway widths to meet Fire Protection
and Trash Service Requirements.
Currently, the TZ requires 1-way driveways to be within 8 to 12-feet wide and 2-way driveways to be
within 20 to 25-feet wide. However, on urban sites trash and fire trucks can have difficulty
maneuvering within the maximum 25-foot driveway permitted by the TZC. The proposed
amendments would modify the TZC text to allow staff to approve alternate driveway widths to satisfy
Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and/or refuse collection requirements on a case -by -case
basis. The amendment would provide administrative relief in the event that driveways need to be
constructed wider than what the current code allows, and would create flexible options to provide
access to parking structures and refuse collection areas in a single, co -located location within a
development.
Upper Story Setback — Downtown (D7) Sub -District
Sub -district Impacted: Downtown (DT)
Buildings Impacted: Buildings with more than 6 stories
Proposed Change: Eliminate the 100-foot setback
The Downtown (DT) sub -district requires a 100-foot setback from the property line for portions of
buildings above 6 stories. However, many lots in the downtown area have a lot depth of only 120
feet and blocks within the DT sub -district have average depths and widths of 250 feet by 250 feet.
This 100-foot setback requirement from the public right-of-way severely limits development potential
and building design. The proposed amendment eliminates the 100-foot setback requirement for
portions of buildings over 6 stories tall. This amendment would establish a development standard
that allows lots with only 120-feet depth to be redeveloped with more practical designs.
Lot Width and Depth Standards and Text Amendments
Sub -district Impacted: All
Buildings Impacted: Flex Block, Lined Block, and Stacked Dwellings
Proposed Change: Establishes a Minimum Depth for Flex Block, Lined Block and Stacked
Dwellings of 100-feet
The TZC currently specifies minimum lot depths of at least 130 and 170-feet, which exceeds the
typical lot depths of 125-feet currently found in the downtown area. The proposed amendments
would modify the development standard to specify a minimum 100-foot lot depth for Flex Block,
Lined Block, and Stacked Dwelling building types. Specifically, the Flex Block minimum lot depth
would be amended from 130 to 100-feet, the Lined Block minimum lot depth from 170 to 100-feet
minimum, and the Stacked Dwellings minimum lot depth from 130 to 100-feet minimum. These
amendments would create a more realistic development standard that addresses current lot sizes
and shapes in the downtown area. In addition, it would provide additional standardization of TZC
development standards by eliminating internal inconsistencies within the plan.
75A-7
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03 — Transit Zoning Code Amendments
July 2, 2019
Page 8
The TZC also specifies the minimum lot dimensions in multiple sections. The proposed text
amendments would modify each building type's subsection to refer to the lot width and depth
standards in Table BT-1, Permitted Building Types and Lot Depth and all other references to
minimum lot depth throughout the document. This change would ultimately reduce opportunity for
inconsistencies among multiple pages and code sections.
Open Space Standards
Sub -district Impacted: All
Buildings Impacted: Flex Block, Lined Block, and Stacked Dwellings
Proposed Change: Allows opens space areas to be located in the front, side or rear yard
areas.
The TZC specifies that required open space areas for certain building types may only be located in
the rear or side yard areas. The proposed amendment would modify the development standard to
allow construction of open space areas on any side of the building, including the front. This
amendment would allow development of open space areas along the front of buildings and would
provide greater public benefit, visibility, and security of open space areas when located at the front
of a building.
Massing Standards
Sub -district Impacted:
Downtown (DT)
Buildings Impacted:
All Buildings
Proposed Change:
Allows opens space areas to be located in the front, side or rear yard
areas.
The TZC requires that Flex Block, Lined Block, and Stacked Dwelling buildings become increasingly
smaller in area as they become taller in height. Between 3 and 5 stories the buildings may only be
75-80 percent of the ground floor's volume; and portions above 6 stories may only be 30-40 percent
of the ground floor's volume. This requirement results in buildings with a bulky base that steps back
progressively with height, similar to an Aztec pyramid. The proposed amendments would modify the
development standard to allow massing of 85 percent of the ground floor's volumes for buildings
containing 3 or more stories. This amendment would create more realistic development standards
that take into account the downtown area's smaller -than -average lot depths. In addition, the
amendment would account for engineering and design challenges of buildings when step -backs are
required on upper levels.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from
further review per Section 15061(b)(3). Environmental Review No. 2019-35 will be filed for this
project. This exemption applies to projects covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to
projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; where it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment. The activity would be consistent with Final EIR No. 2006,

Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Various sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC) have been revised periodically over the last several years to respond
to changes in development, to adopt new permitting procedures, and to
comply with changes to State and Federal laws. In a continuing effort to
establish high -quality development standards and to create a user-friendly

identified several sections of the code for amendments necessary to ensure
clear, uniform, and legally consistent regulations that are practical for the City
and developers to implement through high -quality and safe building designs.
The proposed amendments will enable the City to implement a regulatory
framework that protects the health, safety and welfare of the City and limits
undue strain on homeowners, business operators and developers.
C. At its adjourned regular meeting on May 14, 2019, the Planning Commission
held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City
Council adopt Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03.
D. At its regular City Council meeting on June 4, 2019, the City Council by a vote
of 6:0 continued the public hearing for Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA)
No. 2019-03 for 30 days.

T R A N S I T Z O N I N G C 0 D E : Regulating Plan and Zones Establshed
Division 2.
Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established
(A) Purpose. This section establshea the mnes applied to property within the pan
area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Pan divides the plan area into
Separate cones that are based on a transact of intensity within the plan area
that ranges from the most urban types of development and and use to the
least urban types, with most mnes providing for a significant mixture of and
uses within them.
This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that tyDically divide cities
into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial. and intutw
tlonal uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly
all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead
of and use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development directly
reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan
area. The zones also effectively Implement the City's urban design objectives
for each part of Me plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions
be!N een each zone This Is why some parcels are coiled with more than Orle
corm. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the
middle of A block.
The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate archltMuol types, frontage types,
and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for
building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right identifies the
9 zones applied within the plan area as they elate to existing rights ofv ay
and parcels.
(b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and
applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan.
(1) Transit Village (TV) Zone.
The Transit Village zone is intended to provide standards for compact transit -
Supportive mixed-use/residential development This zone is characterized by a
wide range of Wilding' intensity, including mixed -use tower -on -podium Wild-
ings, flex blacks, liners, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accom-
modates retail, restaurant entertainment, and other pedestrian -oriented uses
at street level with offices and flats above in the mixed -use building types, at
high intensities and densities. The landscape palette is urban, with shading
and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Me Boulevard, and In
sidewalk tree wells where on -street parking is provided. Parking is accommo-
dated on -street in structures with liner buildings and underground.
(2) Government Center (GC) Zone.
This area accommodates a wide variety of civic uses, including Federal, State,
and local govemmeM offices and services, Nbraries, museums, community cen.
ters, and other civic assembly facilities. Building types vary According to their
public purpose, are programmed by the various government agencies for their
specific sites, and therefore arc not coded by the Transit Zoning code RDaaA
and SD $48), The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in
sidewalk tree wells, and in landscaped public plazas.
(3) Downtown (OFT) Zone.
This zone is applied to the historical shopping district or Santa Ana, A vrtak
pedestrian -oriented area that is defined by multi -story, urban building types
(flex blocks, live+vurk stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing In the
Downtown edges) Accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service,
and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the
form and character represented by pre -World War II buildings and recognized
as a National Historic Dlstrkb through restoration, rehabilitation, and context -
sensitive infiB The standards also facilitate the replacement or improve-
ment of postrar development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of
various downtown blocks (for exampa, parking structures with no features of
pedestrian interest along their entire lengths). The landscape style is urban,
emphasizing shading and Accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking
is accommodated on -street and may also be in structures with liner buildings,
underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from streets.
N) Urban Cerstez (UC) Zane.
This wine I applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves
as a transitional area for the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and
to other areas when mixed -use and multi -unit residential buildings create a
pedestrian -oriented urban fabric. The zone provides for a variety of non-res-
idential uses and a mix of housing types at medium intensities and densities.
Besides Accommodating community serving businesses, this zone may also
serve the daily convenience shopping and service needs of nearby residents.
Building types include mixed -use Flex Blocks, stacked flats, live work, row -
houses, and courtyard housing. The landscape is urban, emphasizing shading
street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on -street and may
also be in structures with liner buildings and underground in areas adjacent to
the DT zone, and in surface lots away from street frontages.
