EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In June 2018, the City Council directed staff to initiate the process to annex a 24.78-acre County island generally located at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue within the City's sphere of influence and continue discussions with the County and the Local Agency Formation Commission (OC LAFCO) regarding the proposed annexation. In response, staff has been working with staff from OC LAFCO, the County of Orange and the City of Tustin on the documents needed to complete the annexation. Included with this report are several documents requiring Council approval, which include the approval of the annexation of an unincorporated County island, the submittal of an application to complete the annexation with OC LAFCO, and a water service agreement with the City of Tustin to allow Tustin to continue to provide water service within the annexation area. In addition, a Cooperative Agreement between the City and the County of Orange is also required. This agreement will allow the City to accept a one-time payment from the County for public improvements, will allow a property tax sharing agreement for the properties to be annexed to the City, and will allow the County to complete the development process for two developments currently under review by the County. Other actions needed by the Council include a general plan amendment and an amendment application to prezone and pre -designate the general plan designation for the parcels located within the proposed annexation area as well as various sections of the General Plan that need to be amended to accurately reflect the annexation area. These items were presented to the Planning Commission and recommended for approval in December 2018. Finally, the annexation will result in a modification to the City's boundary lines. To ensure the Ward boundaries are consistent with the City boundaries, a change in the Ward 3 boundaries needs to be approved. 75C-2 Annexation No. 2018-01 for the County Island Annexation at Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue September 3, 2019 Page 3 DISCUSSION In June 2018, the City Council directed staff to initiate the annexation process for the 24.78-acre County island at the northeast comer of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue within the City's sphere of influence. Parcels within the annexation area include 49 single-family residential parcels, three commercial parcels, two multi -family residential parcels and three vacant parcels of land. During the annexation process, several actions were identified that need City Council action. These actions include approval of a Cooperative Agreement with the County of Orange, approval to submit the annexation application to OC LAFCO, approval of a general plan amendment to redesignate the properties to be consistent with the City's General Plan, an amendment application to rezone the properties to be consistent with the city's Zoning Ordinance, and approval of a Water Service Agreement with the City of Tustin. These actions are discussed in more detail below. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the following actions needed for the annexation. Cooperative Agreement The annexation process requires the City and County of Orange to enter into a Cooperative Agreement. The Cooperative Agreement will encompass three elements: 1) recognize the property tax transfer that will need to occur once the annexation area becomes part of the City; 2) document the one-time payment of $711,814 from the County to the City for Public Works Agency related improvements and maintenance projects that are needed within the County island boundaries to bring this area into compliance with City standard; and, 3) allows the County to complete the development process for the two projects currently under review by the County that are located within the annexation boundaries. First, the Cooperative Agreement reinforces the transfer of property taxes that will occur once the properties are annexed to the City. For this specific proposal, the City and County will rely on a Master Property Tax Transfer Agreement that governs annexation areas. This document, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors and City Council on October 28, 1980, identifies the allocation of property tax revenues between the jurisdictions. This agreement states that the County will receive 41.4715 percent and the City shall receive 58.5285 percent of the County's share of the one percent basic levy of property tax from the annexation, which is higher than the approximately 18 percent County/City allocation rate. Based on a fiscal analysis prepared by AECOM dated May 15, 2019 for the annexation, it is estimated that the City will receive roughly $92,000 annually in property tax and property tax in lieu of vehicle license fee revenue once the properties are annexed to the City. Second, several public improvement features (i.e. streets, sidewalks, street trees, lighting etc.) within the annexation area were built to County standards, which slightly differ from the City's standards. In order to compensate the City for the cost of converting these features to City standards, the County has agreed to a one-time payment to the City in the amount of $711,814. This will allow the Public Works Agency the ability to make enhancements that will bring the annexation area closer into compliance with City standards. 75C-3 Annexation No. 2018-01 for the County Island Annexation at Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue September 3, 2019 Page 4 The Cooperative Agreement will also acknowledge the County's processing of two development projects within the County Island. For the past two years, Chick-Fil-A and In-N-Out Burgers have been processing separate projects with the County, with both projects now ready to enter building plan check. However, both have elected to delay their plan check submittals until the annexation is processed, which will give the developers assurances that their projects will obtain sewer service, which can only be provided once the property is annexed to the City. Approval of this agreement will allow the projects to complete the development process with the County, with both projects reverting to Santa Ana once certificate of occupancies are issued, which is anticipated to occur in approximately 12-18 months. In conjunction with the City's CEQA determination regarding the annexation, the County of Orange is processing a negative declaration (ND) for the two developments. The ND will identify any potential impacts to the environment and identify mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate the impacts. The lead agency for the ND is the County of Orange. General Plan Amendment and Amendment Application Section 41-188 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) allows the City to prezone land that is intended to be annexed to the City. Further, Chapter 27 of the SAMC identifies the process for general plan amendments. In the event the City did not predesignate the annexation area, the SAMC states that these properties would be designated as General Agriculture (A-1). In order to ensure consistency between the zoning and general plan land use designations within the annexation area, and avoid making each property within the annexation nonconforming, staff brought forward a zone change and general plan amendment actions to the Planning Commission. On December 10, 2018, the proposed actions were presented to the Planning Commission for consideration. At this hearing, staff provided background on the proposed actions as well as provided information on the fiscal impact of the proposed annexation. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council move forward with the annexation and recommended that the City Council approve the general plan amendment and amendment application. The Commission's approval will establish the future General Plan land use and zoning designations for the properties once the annexation becomes effective. Further, the zoning and general plan amendment actions will be consistent with the existing land uses of the parcels, minimizing the potential for creating non -conforming parcels. Water Service Agreement The City of Tustin currently maintains and operates water lines and facilities that provide potable water service to all developed parcels within the unincorporated island. The City of Santa Ana and the City of Tustin will enter into a water agreement that will allow Tustin to provide water services to the developed and undeveloped parcels located within the unincorporated island upon annexation. Currently, Santa Ana does not have any water infrastructure within the unincorporated island. The agreement will allow Tustin to provide potable water service within the annexation area boundaries until such time Santa Ana installs the infrastructure to provide potable water service. As of this date, it is uncertain when Santa Ana will be able to provide water service to the County island. 75C-4 Annexation No. 2018-01 for the County Island Annexation at Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue September 3, 2019 Page 5 Project Application Form Submittal to OC LAFCO Upon approval of the annexation by the City Council, staff will immediately begin the annexation process with the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (OC LAFCO). To initiate this process, staff will formally submit a Project Application Form to OC LAFCO. Based on discussions with OC LAFCO staff, the annexation process is expected to take several months to complete. It is anticipated that the County island will become part of Santa Ana by early 2020. Change in Ward Boundaries The proposed annexation will result in a change to the City's boundary lines, expanding the City by an additional 24.78-acres. In conjunction, the annexation will also result in a need to change the ward boundaries for Ward 3 to be consistent with the new City boundaries. City Charter Section 101.2 allows ward boundaries to be modified under certain conditions, including as part of an annexation action such as the one proposed. The change in ward boundaries is a two phase process, with the Council completing the first phase at the May 7, 2019 Council meeting. As required by Charter Section 101.4, the City Council approved a resolution declaring a Notice of Intent to change the boundaries of Ward 3. The proposed action is the second phase of the ward change, with this proposal formally changing the ward boundaries once the annexation is completed. CONCLUSION The proposed action items are necessary for the City of Santa Ana to complete the annexation of the 24.78-acre County Island. Based upon staffs analysis, the City's support of the Orange County Annexation Island Program, and the prior actions of the City Council and Planning Commission, staff recommends that the City Council approve the CEQA determination for the annexation and adopt resolutions approving Annexation No. 2018-01, the Property Tax Exchange Agreement with the County of Orange, and General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04. In addition, staff recommends that the Council adopt ordinances approving Amendment Application No. 2018-07 and the change to the boundaries of Ward 3. Further, staff recommends that the Council authorize the execution of a Cooperative Agreement between the City and the County of Orange for the acceptance of one-time funds in the amount of $711,841, to allow the County to complete the processing of development projects within the annexation area, and authorize staff to submit a Project Application form to the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (OC LAFCO). Finally, staff recommends that the Council authorize the execution of a Water Service Agreement with the City of Tustin. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective #2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). 75C-5 Annexation No. 2018-01 for the County Island Annexation at Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue September 3, 2019 Page 6 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed annexation of an existing County island is exempt from further review per CEQA Guidelines Section 15319 (Annexation of Existing Facilities and Lots for Exempt Facilities). It has been determined that this Class 19 exemption is applicable to the proposed annexation as the project involves the annexation to the City areas containing existing private structures developed to the density allowed by the current zoning and prezoning of both the City and County, and the extension of utility services to the existing facilities have a capacity to serve only the existing facilities. In conjunction with the City's CEQA determination regarding the annexation, the County of Orange completed a negative declaration (ND) for the two developments. The ND identified any potential impacts to the environment as well as mitigation measures needed to reduce or eliminate the impacts. The City has reviewed this document and is in agreement with its findings and conclusions. The lead agency for the ND is the County of Orange. FISCAL IMPACT As part of the annexation efforts, the City hired AECOM to prepare a Fiscal Assessment of the proposed annexation. Based on the final report dated May 15, 2019, the conclusions note that the annexation of the existing land uses will result in a nominal net fiscal surplus to the City of approximately $35,000. Further, the study estimates that the existing land uses with the two proposed restaurant developments at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue will result in a positive net fiscal impact of $95,000 to $129,000, which will not be realized until the restaurant projects are completed and operational in approximately 18-24 months. The majority of the revenue increase will result from the sales tax generated from the restaurants, which is anticipated to be at least $64,000 per year (Exhibit H). inh Thai �Q T Executive Director Planning and Building Agency VF:Ia &RFCA\201MAnnexation No. 2018-01 K `-- Steven Mendoza Executive Director Community Development Agency Exhibits: 1.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The City of Santa Ana (City) desires to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Cortese -Knox -Hertzberg Local Reorganization Act of 2000, Division 3, commencing with Section 56000 of the Government Code, for the annexation of a 24.78-acre unincorporated area of land that is currently located within the County of Orange. B. The City will file an application with the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (OC LAFCO) to annex the unincorporated territory generally located at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue as shown on Exhibit 1. C. The proposed annexation area is within the City's Sphere of Influence and will be included in the City's General Plan per General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 containing land use designations of Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and General Commercial. Further, the properties will have zoning designations of Single -Family Residential, Two - Family Residential, and Community Commercial. D. On June 5, 2018, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the annexation of the 24.78-acre County island generally located at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue. At this hearing, the Council directed staff to initiate the process to annex the County island and continue discussions with the County and the LAFCO regarding the annexation. EXHIBIT 1 Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 1 of 6 75C-7 E. On September 14, 2018, the City, County of Orange, and the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission held a duly noticed community workshop regarding the proposed annexation to obtain community input. Major questions of the citizens in attendance included how the annexation will affect properties, the delivery of services, and options to annexation. LAFCO and City staff addressed key questions about the annexation process and the impact of delivery of municipal services. Public notices were mailed to property owners and tenants within the annexation area in October and December 2018 notifying them of the actions to be taken by the Planning Commission regarding the pre -zoning and pre-dogignation of the properties within the annexation area. On December10, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 and Amendment Application No. 2018-07, G. On September 3, 2019, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to Annexation No. 2018-01 for the Seventeenth and Tustin annexation project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. H. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code sec. 21000 et seq.; "CEQA"), and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined that a Categorical Exemption will be filed for the proposed project. As a reviewing agency, the City has reviewed the negative declaration that has been prepared by the County of Orange for the proposed commercial developments on the subject site. Based on its review, the City concurs with the findings of the negative declaration. I. The annexation proposal is made pursuant to the Cortese -Knox -Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, Division 3, commencing with Section 56000 of the Government Code of the State of California. J. The reason for the proposed annexation is to provide full municipal services to unincorporated areas that are remote from County service facilities and thereby increase the economy and efficiency of public services. K. The City Council has weighed and balanced the annexation proposal and has determined that based upon this balancing that Annexation No. 2018-01 is consistent with the purpose of the General Plan and the City's Strategic Plan. Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 2 of 6 75C-8 L. The City Council hereby authorizes staff to submit the required Project Application Form and all necessary documents to OC LAFCO to initiate the annexation process with that agency as shown on Exhibit 2. Section 2. CEQA Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78-acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, the Class-19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEQA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 3. Approvals. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves Annexation No. 2018-01 as shown on Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Council Action dated September 3, 2019 and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

The City is in the process of annexing an unincorporated County island consisting of approximately 25 acres and referred to as the 17th and Tustin Unincorporated Island ("Annexation Area") and detachment of the Annexation Area from the Municipal Water District of Orange County. The Annexation Area is described in Exhibit 1 and depicted in Exhibit 2. B. The Annexation Area more specifically includes 57 parcels in the COUNTY bearing Assessor's Parcel Numbers ("APNs") 396-303-01 to 396-303-28, 396-304-01 to 396-304-11, 396-312-13 to 396-312-15, 396-313-01 to 396-313-03, 396.313-06 to 396- 313-11, and 396-314-01 to 396-314-06, as depicted on Exhibit 3.

The CITY intends, by way of this Agreement and pursuant to California Government Code section 51300 at seq. to contract with the COUNTY for the performance of all Development Approvals for the Development Project. Subject to this Agreement, and as limited to the Development Project alone, the COUNTY will assume the authority for the Development Approvals. F. In the event of a "jurisdictional change" as defined in California Revenue and Taxation Code section 99, prior to the effective date of any jurisdictional change, the affected agencies of such change shall negotiate the amount of property tax revenues to be exchanged. G. The Parties have met and negotiated both a property tax exchange and other consideration, all of which is conditional upon the CITY'S annexation of the Annexation Area becoming final and effective. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing and in consideration of the Parties' mutual agreements and promises hereinafter set forth, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 1.

These proportional shares shall remain as the allocation of tax revenues between the CITY and the COUNTY for the annexations for all future years unless the CITY and COUNTY agree by written Resolution to adjust the allocation proportions. b. The CITY shall receive a one-time compensation of $711,814 to construct betterments In the Annexation Area, including Street Improvements ($397,314), Storm Drain Improvements ($187,500), and General Construction Costs ($127,000).

OPEN CODE ENFORCEMENT CASES The COUNTY commits to making its best effort to close open code enforcement and building safety/planning cases prior to the date of annexation, with the understanding that CITY agrees that COUNTY shall be entitled to charge, receive and retain all code enforcement fine amounts, which shall be the COUNTY's sole consideration for all services performed in closing the open cases. For code enforcement cases that still remain open on the date of annexation, the COUNTY will administer the cases to completion, using COUNTY ordinances and code enforcement procedures. 6. PERMITS AND PLAN CHECKS CITY agrees that COUNTY shall be entitled to charge, receive and retain all customary fees for the Development Project through issuance of the Certificates of Occupancy, including planning application, building permit fees, grading fees, and inspection fees. The fees shall be the COUNTY's sole consideration for all services performed in closing the Development Project. 7.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The City of Santa Ana (City) is requesting approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 to incorporate into the City's various General Plan elements a 24.78-acre unincorporated area of land that is currently located within the County of Orange. B. Over the past several months, the County has been working with the developer of a proposed project at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue. This development has been unable to move forward due to the inability to connect to the City's sewer system as they are currently located outside the City boundaries. C. On June 5, 2018, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the annexation of the 24.78-acre County island generally located at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue. At this hearing, the Council directed staff to initiate the process to annex the County island and continue discussions with the County and the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) regarding the annexation. D. On September 14, 2018, the City, County of Orange, and the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission held a duly noticed community workshop regarding the proposed annexation to obtain community input. E. On December 10, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04. EXHIBIT 4 Resolution No. 2019-xx 75C-39 Page 1 of 5 F. On September 3, 2019, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 for the Seventeenth and Tustin annexation project, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution occurred. G. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code sec. 21000 et seq.; "CEQA"), and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined that a Categorical Exemption will be filed for the proposed project. In conjunction with the City's CEQA determination regarding the annexation, the County of Orange has completed a negative declaration (ND) for the two developments. The ND will identify any potential impacts to the environment and identify mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate the impacts. The lead agency for the ND is the County of Orange. H. General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 has been filed to amend the General Plan to change the land use designation of certain parcels located in the Seventeenth and Tustin County island boundaries. The proposed land use designations will be consistent with the current land uses and proposed pre - zoning designations of the annexation project area. The amendments will pre -designate properties located in the annexation area as Low -Density Residential (LR-7), Medium -Density Residential (MR-15), or General Commercial (GC) as shown on Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. I. The City Council has weighed and balanced the General Plan's policies, both old and new, and has determined that based upon this balancing that General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 is consistent with the purpose of the General Plan, Section 2. CEQA Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78-acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 2 of 5 75C-40 the Class 19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEOA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 3, Approvals. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04, The amendments to the Land Use Element are attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

During this period of substantial population growth, the number of housing units remained relatively stable. Other notable demographic changes have occurred as well. The City's population is getting older. The median age of the population in 1980 was 26.2 years. By 2000, it had increased to 26.5 years compared to a median age of33.3 years for the County overall. REGIONAL CONTEXT The City of Santa Ana is located approximately 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, and 10 miles northeast of Newport Beach in the west -central section of Orange County. Santa Ana is bordered by the City of Orange, amf u eerpe, t arras 49rangeGetmtr" then rth;,.the City of Tustin on the east; the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa on the south,; and the cities of Fountain Valley and Garden Grove on the west. Freeway access to the City of Santa Ana is provided by the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) and the Orange Freeway (SR-57) on the north, the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5) on the northeast, the Costa Mesa Freeway (SR-55) on the east, the San Diego Freeway (1-405) on the south. REGIONAL TRENDS Santa Ana is the largest City in Orange County in terms of population (9 percent of the County population) and fourth in terms of land area (27.3 square miles). Approximately 58 percent of the City's land area is developed with residential uses. Commercial areas account for approximately 15 percent of the City's total land area, and industrial uses cover approximately 14 percent. The City's January 2009 population is estimated by the California Department of Finance to be 355,662 persons. The 2009 housing stock consists of 75,856 dwelling units and the average household size is 4.7 persons per household. The City experienced rapid population growth from 1970 through 1990. The City's population in 1970 was 155,710 persons. By 1990, the population had increased to 293,742 persons, representing an increase of 89 percent, while the County's population increased by only 25 percent. Moreover, during this period of intensive population growth, the number of housing units in the City only grew by approximately 12 percent. The City's growth trends since 1990 have been more modest and is expected to continue at approximately one percent per year through the year 2010. The City's housing production is likewise expected to continue to be stable. There has been little growth in housing over the last several years; however, additional infill housing is anticipated through 2015 particularly in the City's District Centers. With even modest population growth at the current rate of housing production, the City is likely to continue to experience a rise in average household size.

Residential development is also permitted in two other designations: District Center and Urban Neighborhood. The Santa Ana Land Use Plan includes the following residential land use designations: The Low Density Residential (LR-7) designation applies to those areas of the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses. The allowable maximum development intensity is 7 units per acre. Development in this category is characterized primarily by single-family homes. This designation applies to a large proportion of the City (6 474.46;4546 acres) representing 47 percent of the City's total land area. The Low -Medium Density Residential (LMR-I1) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at permitted densities of up to 11 units per acre. The land area included in this designation is approximately 421.64246acres. The great majorityof the land designated as Low -Medium Density Residential is located in the westerly portion of the City, north and south of First Street. Properties with this designation are typically characterized by mobile home parks, a mixture of duplexes and single Family residences, or small lot subdivisions. The Medium Density Residential (MR-15) designation applies to those sections ofthe City which are developed with residential uses at densities of up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by duplexes, apartments, or a combination of both. A total of 362.3 acres is designated as Medium Density Residential. Thedesignation applies to areas located in the vicinity of downtown, areas north and south of MacArthur Boulevard, and in other areas where there are established multiple -family development projects. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN I" 75C-76 LAND USE ELEMENT The Land Use Plan identifies three land use designations that encourage a variety of office, retail and commercial enterprises to serve the community. • The Professional/Administrative Office (PAO) designation applies to those areas where professional and/or administrative offices are predominant, or where such development is being encouraged. Land included in this designation is found primarily near the Civic Center, and along the First Street and Tustin Avenue Corridors in close proximity to freeways. There are other smaller PAO areas in the City such as along North Broadway and along portions of east and west Seventeenth Street. A total of 859.2855.3 acres is included in this land use designation. The floor area ratio intensity standard applicable to this land use designation ranges from 0.5 to 1.0. The Professional and Administrative Office areas are intended to provide a unique environment for office development in those areas of the City where office uses are the predominant land use. The purpose for maintaining and supporting these areas exclusively for office and office -related uses is to encourage major employment centers at locations which significantly lessen the impact to the City's local street system. The First Street/Tustin Avenue office corridor between the Santa Ana (I-5) and Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeways serves this purpose. In addition, the orderly, well -maintained quality of existing development supports a continuation of these areas as functional office/employment centers. The Professional and Administrative Office designation includes a range of floor area ratios to differentiate development intensity and character in relation to adjacent land uses. The areas with a FAR of 0.5 are not major office centers, but rather have an established character of lower intensity garden office and professional service uses. These areas are typically adjacent to low density residential neighborhoods, or are converted residential office uses. Office development along East Fourth Street, between Grand Avenue and the Santa Ana Freeway, is typical of this low-rise office character. The PAO area located adjacent to the Civic Center contains a range of office development intensity which supports the City's functional role as the government center of the County. The types of uses typically located in the PAO district include the following: • Professional and administrative offices/office parks; • Service activities such as copy centers, courier services, travel agencies, and restaurants when such uses are an integral component of a planned office development; and • Professional uses such as accountants, attorneys, doctors, engineers, and insurance brokers. A-20 75C-77 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT The General Commercial (GC) district applies to commercial corridors in Santa Ana including those located along Main Street, Seventeenth Street, Harbor Boulevard, and other major arterial roadways in the City The intensity standard applicable to this designation is a floor area ratio of0.5 - I.O, though most General Commercial districts have a FAR of 0.5. A total of862.2 8583-acres of land is included in this designation. General Commercial districts are key components in the economic development of the City. They provide highly visible and accessible commercial development along the City's arterial transportation corridors. In addition, General Commercial land uses provide important neighborhood facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and entertainment activities, employment, and education. The districts also provide support facilities and services for industrial areas includingoffice and retail, restaurants and various other services. The General Commercial development standards are based upon the character and intensity of development, as well as the degree of access and market demand for these properties. The relationships to adjacent land uses, are also considered. Uses typically located in this district are: • Business and professional offices; • Retail and service establishments; • Recreational, cultural, and entertainment uses; and • Vocational schools. General Commercial Districts have a floor area ratio of0.5 with the exception of the Mid -town area which has an floor area ratio of up to 1.0. One Broadway Plaza District Center is a separate land use designation as it has an F.A.R. of2.9, which exceeds the typical District Center intensity limit. Additionally, it does not include a residential component. One Broadway Plaza is envisioned as a landmark professional office complex that will be a focal point in the Downtown Redevelopment area serving the Civic Center complex, Downtown, and Midtown urban areas. The City's District Centers and major development areas are shown in Exhibit A-5. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN 75C-78 LAND USE ELEMENT interagency Development Review Committee (DRC) to ensure consistent and comprehensive application of City regulations and policies for all projects. • Redevelopment Plans. The City will apply redevelopment tools associated with the implementation of the adopted redevelopment plans, as appropriate. The City will encourage the further development of industrial, commercial, and residential projects in suitable locations to strengthen the City's tax and employment base. Special Studies. In certain instances, a special study may be required to address a particular issue. In these cases, a specific effort to identify staff resources needed to conduct the appropriate investigation and analysis will be identified. Zoning Code Review. The zoning code serves as a primary tool used by the City to regulate development. The City will develop a program to revise the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that development regulations and standards are consistent with community needs and high quality development. The City will initiate appropriate changes to the ordinance to ensure, where appropriate, conformity between the Land Use Element and Zoning Map. LAND USE PLAN BUILDOUT As indicated previously, the City of Santa Ana has been almost completely developed for many years. As a result, any new development will necessarily consist of redevelopment and infill development on the remaining vacant and underutilized parcels. Many parcels with nonresidential land use designations will never be developed to the maximum intensity permitted under the General Plan. Table A-4 indicates the development possible under the build -out of the Land Use Plan. The build -out for residential land uses considered two scenarios. Effective build -out for residential development is calculated by adding the 21,255 units possible in the areas designated as District Center and Urban Neighborhood to the existing 74 669 -7 ;, units presently found in the City per Census 2000. Theoretical build -out for residential development considered the development possible if all of the areas designated as residential were developed according to the permitted Land Use Plan intensities. Since the Land Use Element does not contemplate the elimination of existing housing in the City, the effective build -out figure represents a more realistic estimate of future residential development. As indicated in TableA-4, three of the non-residential land use designations have a range in FAR intensities. For the non-residential land use designations, effective build -out considered the development possible under the lower range of FAR intensities while theoretical build -out considered the upper FAR range. Typically, parking and landscaping requirements will result in significantly less floor area for commercial and industrial developments than that which is permitted under the General Plan. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-33 75C-79 LAND USE ELEMENT As indicated in Table A-4, between 76,998 to 95,924 99;844—housing units are allowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in the City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple -family developments constructed in the 197O's and 1980's. However, the purpose ofthe Land Use Plan as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of existing neighborhoods, regardless of the character ofdevelopment. The intent of the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses. The Land Use Element's implementation may result in an increase in the amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As indicated in Table A-4, up to 32,407,333 32-,3-20,2 F3square feet ofcommercial and office development, and 42,199,991 square feet of industrial development are possible under the effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan.

NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 2018-07 PRE -ZONING THE PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN AN UNINCORPORATED COUNTY ISLAND PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SEVENTEENTH STREET AND TUSTIN AVENUE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The City of Santa Ana (City) is requesting approval of Amendment Application No. 2018-07 to amend the zoning designation of a 24.78-acre unincorporated area of land that is currently located within the County of Orange and within the sphere of influence of the City of Santa Ana. B. General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04 was filed concurrently with the Amendment Application for consistency with the General Plan to incorporate Into the City's various General Plan elements. C. On December 10, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2018-07 which is consistent with the General Plan, as amended by General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04. D. The City Council has reviewed applicable general plan policies and has determined that this proposed pre -zoning is consistent with the purpose of the general plan. F. The City Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, held a duly noticed public hearing on September 3, 2019. G. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request for Council Action dated September 3, 2019 accompanying this matter. H. For these reasons, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2018- 07 is hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, thus changing of the zoning districts has been found to be consistent with the General Plan EXHIBIT 5 Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 1 of 4 75C-107 of the City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare. Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance pre -zoning the real properties generally located at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue and Amended Sectional District Map number 4-5-9 showing the above described change in use district designation (AA No. 2018-07). This recommendation is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: The Request for Planning Commission and Council Action dated December 10, 2018 and September 3, 2019, respectively and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Section 3. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78- acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, the Class 19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEQA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 4. The zoning designation of the real properties generally located within the 24.78-acre County island at the northeast corner of Seventeenth Street and Tustin Avenue shall be reclassified from the County's Local Business (C-1) and Single - Family Dwellings (R-1) designations to Community Commercial (C1), Single - Family Residence (R-1) and Two -Family Residence (R-2). An amended Sectional District Map, showing the above described changes in use district designation, is hereby approved and attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 2 of 4 75C-108 Section 5. This ordinance shall not be effective unless and until Resolution No. 2018- (Environmental Review No. 2018-89 and General Plan Amendment No. 2018-04) is adopted and becomes effective. If either resolution and/or ordinance are for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this ordinance shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. Section 6. This ordinance shall not be effective unless and until the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) passes a resolution adopting the annexation of the County island. If the resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for any reason, then this ordinance shall be null and void and have no further force and effect. Section 7. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

CALIFORNIA Exhibit: EXHIBIT 1 75C-111 75C-112 SERVICE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AND THE CITY OF TUSTIN REGARDING POTABLE; WATER SERVICE FOR VARIOUS PARCELS OF UNINCORPORATED REAL PROPERTY This Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of California ("Santa Ana"), and the City of Tustin, a California municipal corporation ("Tustin") (each referred to as "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties") on the effective date of the reorganization of "Island Parcels" involving the annexation of the "Island Parcels" to Santa Ana and detachment of same territory from the Municipal Water District of Orange County as specified in Section A below. RECITALS A. As provided by the Cortcse-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Gov. Code, §§ 56000 et seq.) and the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission's ("OC LAFCO") policies and procedures, Santa Ana will submit to OC LAFCO an application to annex 57 parcels and detachment of the same parcels from the Municipal Water District of Orange County. The annexation collectively constitutes an island of unincorporated territory within Santa Ana's sphere of influence with Assessor's Parcel Numbers ("APNs") 396- 303-01 to -28, 396-304-01 to -11, 396-312-13, -14, and -15, 396-313-01 to -03, -06 to -11, and 396-314-01 to -06 ("Island Parcels") as shown on Exhibit 1. B. Santa Ana is presently without the necessary water system infrastructure to directly provide Potable Water Services to the Island Parcels, but contemplates and fully intends to ensure that the Island Parcels receive adequate Potable Water Service consistent with the level of service contemplated by Santa Ana subsequent to the Annexation, including installation and completion of all necessary water system infrastructure and performance of all customer service flmctions ("Potable Water Service") following Santa Ana's annexation of the Island Parcels, C. Tustin maintains and operates water lines and facilities that provide Potable Water Services to all developed Island Parcels. D. Santa Ana and Tustin desire to enter into this Agreement, whereby Tustin will provide Potable Water Service to the Island Parcels. Tustin will to provide water service to the Island Parcels until such time Santa Ana has completed water system infrastructure to serve the entire Island Parcels. E. This Agreement constitutes a service agreement in which "[t]wo or more public agencies where the public service to be provided is an alternative to, or substitute for, public services already being provided by an existing public service provider and where the level of service to be provided is consistent with the level of service contemplated by the existing service provider." (Gov. Code, § 56133(e)(1)). I of 7 75C-113 F. Under Government Code, section 56133 and OC LAFCO's "Policy & Procedures for the Review and/or Processing of Out -Of -Area Agreements by the Executive Officer (Gov't Code §56133)," this Agreement is not an out -of -area service agreement requiring OC LAFCO's review and approval because: (1) Santa Ana and Tustin are both public agencies; and (2) upon annexation, Santa Ana will have the exclusive authority to provide Potable Water Services to the Island Parcels. However, Santa Ana has found that such activities can be more efficiently and more conveniently performed by Tustin pursuant to this Agreement at this time. G. This Agreement will in no way adversely impact water services to current customers of Santa Ana or Tustin, will not induce growth, and will not result in the duplication of services in the territory of either city. H. This Agreement serves the public interest, economy, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and of the mutual covenants as well as for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: CONSENT FOR AND PROVISION OF SERVICES 1.1. Santa Ana's Consent for Service. Except as provided in Section 1.2, Santa Ana consents to Tustin's provision of Potable Water Service to the Island Parcels, upon Santa Ana's annexation of the Island Parcels. 1.2. Following the annexation, in the event that Santa Ana has or creates the infrastructure and the capacity to provide Potable Water Service to the Island Parcels, any new development or redevelopment within the Island Parcels shall be served by Santa Ana. 1.3. Tustin's Provision of Service, 1.3.1. Provision of Service. Tustin agrees to provide Potable Water Service to the Island Parcels in a manner and at a level consistent with Tustin's provision of services to its remaining service area, subject only to a changeover as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement. 1.3.2. Applicable Law. Tustin's provision of the Potable Water Service shall comply with applicable local, state, or federal statutes, regulations, rules, or policies. 2of7 75C-114 TERMINATION Santa Ana's Capacity for Service. If, at any time during the course of this Agreement, Santa Ana determines that it has the infrastructure and capacity to economically and conveniently provide Potable Water Service to the Island Parcels in a manner and at a level consistent with Santa Ana's service to the remainder of its service area, then Santa Ana will send written notice to Tustin and OC LAFCO of such determination. The notice shall provide reasonable terms, conditions, and times for accomplishing the changeover from Tustin to Santa Ana as the provider of Potable Water Service; provided, however, that cooperation with the notice shall be at no cost to Tustin. Tustin will work in good faith with Santa Ana to reasonably comply with the notice. This Agreement shall terminate when the changeover is accomplished. When this Agreement is terminated for any reason, any costs reasonably required to disconnect, transfer, cap, abandon, and/or otherwise cease Potable Water Service by Tustin will be reimbursed by Santa Ana within ninety (90) days of delivery of written request for such reimbursement.

NS-XXXX AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA CHANGING THE BOUNDARIES OF WARD 3 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROPOSED 24.78-ACRE COUNTY ISLAND ANNEXATION GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SEVENTEENTH STREET AND TUSTIN AVENUE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. In accordance with Sections 101.2 and 101.4 of the Santa Ana City Charter, on May 7, 2019, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana declared its intention to change the boundaries of Ward 3 to include a 24.78-acre area of land currently located in the County of Orange which is proposed to be annexed to the City of Santa Ana. The area proposed for annexation is shown on the map attached as Exhibit 1. B. At the May 7, 2019 Council meeting, there was no opposition raised regarding the change in the boundaries for Ward 3. C. The Clerk of the Council gave notice that on September 3, 2019, at 6:45 P.M. or as soon as, possible thereafter, in the Santa Ana City Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California, a public hearing will be held by the City Council at which time any and all persons interested in or objecting to the proposed change in ward boundaries described above may appear and be heard. Section 2. The City of Santa Ana hereby approves the change in ward boundaries for Ward 3 as shown on Exhibits 2 and 3. Section 3. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a categorical exemption will be filed for this project pursuant to section 15319. This Class 19 exemption applies to projects involving annexation of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities such as public and private structures developed to the density allowed by the pre -zoning of the City. The proposed annexation area is developed to the density allowed by the current zoning or pre -zoning, with the extension of utility services having the capacity to serve only the existing facilities. EXHIBIT 7 Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 1 of 3 75C-121 LS 9.3.19 More specifically, the proposed annexation will consist of the 24.78-acre parcels of land in its entirety that includes private residential and commercial structures as well as three vacant parcels of land that are located at the southwest section of the annexation area. As the annexation area is developed to the density allowed by both the current zoning of the County and the pre -zoning designations proposed by the City, and no new utility services are proposed for the existing structures within the annexation area as part of this project, the Class 19 exemption is applicable to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to CEQA, a categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment therefore, it is categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption for Environmental Review No. 2018-89 will be filed for this project. Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

The Study Area is roughly 25 acres in size with 49 single-family and 34 multi -family residential units, and an estimated population of 309 residents. There are 3 existing commercial properties in the Study Area with a combined 27,750 square feet of rentable space and approximately 20 businesses. The analysis focused on fiscal impacts to the following City of Santa Ana funds: • General Fund The Special Gas Tax Fund and Measure M (referred to hereafter as the Road Fund) The assessment primarily focuses on the fiscal impacts associated with the existing land uses within the Study Area. However, it is understood that two additional proposed land uses (Chick-Fil-A and In-N-Out) may locate on vacant commercial land within the Study Area so an estimated range of fiscal impact was also calculated separately to provide a more complete overall assessment of the Study Area. Based on our preliminary draft findings, AECOM estimates a General Fund surplus and a Road Fund deficit. The two additional proposed land uses are estimated to result in an increase to the fiscal surplus. Note that these findings are in draft form and are subject to change. All figures for revenues and expenditures are expressed in 2018 dollars. 1.1 Estimated Study Area Net Annual Fiscal Impacts (2018 dollars) Fund Net Fiscal Impact Existing Land Uses General Fund Road Fund $127,000 -$92,000 Total $35,000 Proposed Land Uses* General Fund $60,000 to $94,000 Existing and Proposed Land Uses $95,000 to $129,000 • It is assumed the addition of the proposed land uses would have a negligible effect on road costs and revenues. As a result no Road Fund estimates have been included. Proposed Land Use estimated net fiscal impacts are in addition to the Existing Land Use estimates. Source: AECOM Factors and assumptions utilized to arrive at these estimates were based on reviews of the City of Santa Ana Fiscal Year 18-19 Adopted Budget, Orange County Assessor and Treasurer data, Costar, U.S. Census data, and phone and email correspondence with City staff. A more detailed breakdown of methodology and assumptions is included in the body of the report along with the expanded tables in the Appendix. 75C-131 AECOM City of Santa Ana Annexation Table 1.2: Estimated Study Area General Fund Net Annual Fiscal Impact (2018 dollars)* Cost/Revenue Description Estimated Value Estimated Total Costs to the City General Fund** Sources of Revenue Property Tax Property Tax In Lieu of VLF Property Transfer Tax Sales Tax Measure X(2019-2029) Other Revenue*** Total Estimated General Fund Revi Estimated Net Fiscal General Fund from Annexation $182,000 $62,000 $30,000 $1,000 $66,000 $100,000 $50,000 Annexation $127,000 "Numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000 throughout and may not sum. •• See Appendix Table D for General Fund cost breakdown and calculations.

These were then adjusted to estimate the marginal and total costs of servicing the total service population of the Study Area. Conservative marginal service cost assumptions based on general fiscal impact practice are detailed in Appendix Table D.

Road costs were provided by the City of Santa Ana and consist of annual non -replacement preventive maintenance for the 1.63 lane miles of roads within the Study Area. While the General Fund and Road Fund have separate funding sources, City General Funds can be flexibly allocated to address road maintenance. As a result the estimated General Fund net fiscal surplus of the existing and proposed uses within the Study Area could feasibly be allocated to cover a portion of the estimated Road Fund net fiscal deficit.

Source: Orange CountyTmasurer-Tax Collector, City of Santa Ana, California Department of Finance, Costar AECOM, 201R 2. Methodology General Fund Property Taxes The total assessed value of all properties in the Study Area for the 2017 tax year was approximately $26 million, including values for both land and improvements. According to California state law, 1 % of this total value will be paid in property taxes to be allocated to various government agencies, school districts, and other funds. The Master Property Tax Transfer Agreement between the City of Santa Ana and the County of Orange dictates that 24% of property tax revenue will be allocated to the City of Santa Ana's General Fund. If a new City TRA were established that had a different allocation rate, these assumptions would have to be adapted upwards or downwards depending on the new rate. Under the assumed TRA the City of Santa Ana General Fund can anticipate an increase of approximately $62,000 in property taxes as a result of the annexation of the Study Area. Since 2004, the California State Legislature has compensated cities and counties for the state-wkte reduction in Vehicle License Fees (VLF) with a like amount of property taxes, known as Property Taxes in Lieu of VLF. This allocation increases annually in proportion to the growth in both the gross assessed property valuation and the relative population in that city or county. Taking into account the estimated population growth as a result of the annexation of the Study Area, Property Taxes in Lieu of VLF are estimated to increase by approximately $30,000. 75C-133 AECOM City of Santa Ana Annexation Property Transfer Taxes are also collected in the state of California whenever a property is sold, amounting to 550 per $1,000 of assessed value to be divided between the city and the county. Based on the assumption of a 5% annual property turnover rate, the City of Santa Ana can anticipate gathering approximately $1,400 from the sale of property. The amount of Property Transfer Tax actually received will depend on the sale of properties in a given year, which is subject to an upward or downward adjustment based on recorded transactions. (Table A) Sales Taxes The minimum statewide sales tax for California is 7.25%, and the City of Santa Ana General Fund receives 1 % of the purchase price for all sales in the city (the additional 0.5% rate levied for Measure M to fund transportation projects received by the City is accounted for in the revenues for the Road Fund). The Orange County Treasurer -Tax Collector estimates that there are approximately 27,750 square feet of rentable commercial space on 3 separate properties in the Study Area. Current occupants include food and beverage establishments, merchandise retail, professional offices, and other service providers. There are approximately 20 sales tax generating businesses in the Study Area. AECOM estimated total employees and sales per square foot of occupied commercial space based on regional trends and recent studies on business patterns (eMarketer 2018, Baker Tilly Restaurant Benchmarking 2017, AECOM 2018). In November of 2018, Santa Ana voters approved Measure X (City of Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2952) authorizing a citywide sales tax of 1.5% to be collected for 10 years beginning in the first quarter of 2019 (dropping to 1 % from 2029 to 2039). The revenue from this transactions and use tax will be fund general city services and address the City's structural deficit. The City of Santa Ana General Fund can anticipate an increase of approximately $166,000 in sales taxes from annexation of the Study Area. This estimate depends on actual sales for businesses and will change depending on the mix of future tenants and industries that occupy the retail and office space. (Table B) Other Taxes Other sources of revenue are expected to increase as the result of the annexation of the Study Area, including business permits, licenses and inspections, franchise fees, fines and forfeitures, and intergovernmental transfers. The increase to the City of Santa Ana's General Fund was estimated on a per service population basis and amounts to an approximate increase of $50,000. (Table C) Expenditures AECOM estimated the expenditures for services administered by the City of Santa Ana on a per service population basis and applied the costs of extending these services to the service population of the Study Area. Based on data from recent fiscal analyses in Southern California, percentages of the marginal cost burden for extending services to additional residents and employees were assigned by category. Again, it should be noted that actual marginal costs per service population can vary significantly by city and lower marginal costs would reduce overall service costs and reduce the estimated overall net fiscal deficit. The total estimated City cost to serve the Study Area is t $182,000 (Table D) Road Fund Revenues The federal government and the state of California impose direct and indirect taxes on the sale of gasoline and other fuels and the registration of motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes. A portion of these funds are redistributed to counties and cities in California, primarily through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). HUTA includes several sections (2105, 2106, 2107, 2103) with specific apportionments to diverse transportation related purposes and an apportionment to cities based on population. RMRA also allocates funds to state and regional projects with the remainder divided between the state highway account and local apportionments, 50% of which go to counties based on the number of registered vehicles and 50% of which go to cities based on population. Based on the estimated increase in population from the 75C-134 0.ECOM City of Santa Ana Annexation annexation of the Study Area, the City of Santa Ana Road Fund will likely receive an additional $8,000 from HUTA allocations and $5.000 from RMRA allocations. Since 1990, Orange County voters have repeatedly approved a half -cent sales tax to generate funds for the improvement of the country's transportation system, known as Measure M. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) allocates funds to cities based on a Fairshare formula based on the ratios of population, Master Plan Arterial Highways centerline miles, and their share of total taxable Orange County sales. Additional revenues generated for the City of Santa Ana Road Fund from Measure M allocations as the result of the annexation of the Study Area are estimated to be approximately $4,000. Other revenues include repayment from the SB1 Loan and an Engineering Cost Allocation, contributing an estimated $400 to the additional revenues for the city of Santa Ana Road Fund as a result of the annexation of the Study Area. Expenditures The Study Area contains approximately 1.63 lane miles. City staff estimate the annual Study Area road maintenance casts will be approximately $110,000. Net Annual Fiscal Impact of Proposed Land Uses There are two additional land uses (Chic-Fil-A and In-N-Out) that have been proposed for the currently vacant commercial lots at the intersection of Tustin Avenue and 171" St. The proposed developments, if completed, would result in additional General Fund costs and revenues, including additional service costs and property tax, sales tax, and other revenues associated with fees, licenses, and permits. AECOM estimated additional costs based on the _ additional service population of the businesses, in this Case made up entirely of new employees. Property and sales taxes were estimated based on comparisons of taxable sales and assessed property values of other Chic-Fil-A and In-N-Out Burger establishments in Santa Ana and surrounding cities.
