PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its regular meeting on June 10, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral, and
unanimously (5-0-0-2, with Commissioners Ramos and Oliva absent) recommended
that the City Council approve Density Bonus Agreement No. 2024-01, as conditioned.
As part of its actions, the Planning Commission also voted unanimously (5-0-0-2, with
Commissioners Ramos and Oliva absent) to approve Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No.
2023-05, as conditioned.
DISCUSSION
On November 15, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a pre -
commitment letter (Exhibit 1) with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County ("Habitat for
Humanity") for $2,200,000 in Inclusionary Housing Funds for the development of six
affordable ownership units located at 1921 W Washington Avenue, Santa Ana, CA
92706 (APN 405-101-37) ("Project"). The Project will include six newly constructed
three -bedroom, two -bath homes affordable to low-income households earning less than
80% of the area median income (AMI) with a local preference for residents who live
and/or work in the City. The pre -commitment letter was executed following a
competitive Request for Proposals process approved by City Council in December
2021.
After the City Council approves a pre -commitment of funding for an affordable housing
project, the developer must secure their entitlements and their remaining sources of
financing as two primary conditions before staff will return to City Council. Relative to
the Project's entitlements, on June 10, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public
hearing for the Project, where they voted unanimously to approve Tentative Tract Map
No. 2023-05 and to recommend that the City Council approve Density Bonus
Agreement No. 2024-01 with conditions. Relative to securing their remaining sources of
financing, Habitat for Humanity has finalized their budget for the successful construction
of the Project. Now that Habitat for Humanity has met these two conditions in the pre -
commitment letter, City Council may consider approval of the Conditional Grant
Agreement and Density Bonus Agreement for the development of the Project. Further
details on both Agreements are provided below.
Conditional Grant Agreement
The Conditional Grant Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2. Amongst various other
terms, the following key terms are incorporated into the Grant Agreement:
• Developer: Habitat for Humanity of Orange County.
• Conditional Grant Amount: $2,200,000 in Inclusionary Housing Funds,
conditional upon successful completion of the Project.
• Disbursement Schedule: 90% of the funds will be disbursed upfront for the
construction, with a 10% contingency:

o The initial disbursement of $1,980,000 may be disbursed after the
Regulatory Agreement is recorded, insurance is provided, and the grading
permit is ready to issue.
o The final disbursement of $220,000 will be disbursed after the Project is
completed, the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, and each home is
successfully sold to a low-income family.
The Conditional Grant Agreement has been signed by Habitat for Humanity to
acknowledge their acceptance of the terms.
Density Bonus Agreement
The Density Bonus Agreement is attached as Exhibit 3 and was approved unanimously
by the Planning Commission on June 10, 2024.

The California Density Bonus (Government Code § 65915 et seq.) law allows
developers proposing five or more residential units, as well as other projects, such as
common interest developments under Civil Code § 4100, to increase density of on -site
housing units in exchange for developing affordable units on site. To help make
constructing on -site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek up to
five incentives/concessions and an unlimited number of waivers that facilitate production
of units, which are essentially variances from development standards that would help
the project be built without significant burden and without detriment to public health. The
first version of the Density Bonus Law was adopted in 1979 and has since been
amended at various times and places the onus on local jurisdictions to prove that the
incentives/concessions or waivers requested by a developer are not warranted.
Pursuant to the California Density Bonus law, a project's affordability level is determined
by dividing the number of proposed affordable units by the allowable "base" density (i.e.,
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County Affordable Ownership Units
July 16, 2024
Page 4
7 du/ac). Moreover, the law states that units added by a density bonus are excluded
from the calculations. As outlined by Table 2 below, the base density for the 0.37-acre
site at 7 du/ac is 3 units. All six units of the Project are proposed to be affordable to low
income households (a 100% affordability rate) that allows Habitat for Humanity to
request a density bonus of 80%, which equates to a maximum of three density bonus
units, five concessions, and unlimited waivers that assist with production of the units
onsite.

*Affordable unit percentage is calculated excluding units added by a density bonus.
**AB 2501 states that any density calculations resulting units shall be rounded up to the next whole
number. Applies to: Number of affordable units required to be eligible for the density bonus; Base
density i.e. the number of affordable units in the base project); and Eligible bonus units.
The purpose of the Density Bonus Law is to encourage the development of affordable
housing and a local jurisdiction is limited in its ability to deny requested
concessions/waivers, and is preempted from denying the increased density.
Pursuant to Government Code § 65915 (d)(1), a requested concession or incentive
shall be granted unless the City makes written findings, based on substantial evidence
of any of the following: (1) the concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and
actual cost reductions to provide the proposed affordable housing, (2) the concession or
incentive would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety, or on any
real property listed on the California Register of Historical Resources, and for which
there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse
impact without rendering the project unaffordable to low-income and moderate -income
households, or (3) the concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law.
The Density Bonus Law also constrains the ability to deny requested waivers. Subject to
exceptions for projects that receive a waiver from controls on maximum density,
Government Code § 65915 (e)(1) provides that the City cannot apply any development
standard that would physically preclude the construction of a development entitled to a
density bonus at the increased density or with the concessions or incentives, unless the
City makes findings that the waiver would have a specific, adverse impact on public
health or safety, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
specific adverse impact.
Although the City has analyzed the Project and has identified several areas of concern,
the conditions of approval proposed for the Project are intended to address any of the
Project's potential impacts. Table 3 outlines the incentives/concessions and waivers
requested by the applicant.

Project Description
The Project includes the construction of three new duplex buildings that would
accommodate six 100% affordable, for -sale residential units. The front two duplex
buildings (Units 1-4, closest to Washington Avenue) are designed with a similar floor
plan and each contain the same square footage of approximately 1,859-square-feet (net
floor area) for each unit. The rear duplex building (Units 5 & 6) will consist of 3,446
square -feet of floor area. In total, all new floor area onsite will be 10,882 square -feet.
Units 1-4 each will consist of three bedrooms, two and a half restrooms, a kitchen, living
room, and in -unit laundry facilities. Unit 5 will consist of 1,165 square -feet with three
bedrooms, two restrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a balcony. Unit 6
will consist of one 1, 1 68-square-foot ADA compliant unit with three bedrooms, two
restrooms, a dining room, living room, kitchen, and in -unit laundry facilities. Onsite there
will be a total of 15 parking stalls, which consist of two garage stalls per unit (tandem
spaces for Unit 5) and three guest surface spaces (one ADA compliant space). All six
units are proposed to be affordable to low-income households earning less than 80%
AMI, which is currently set at $129,000, adjusted for a four -person household size, as
published by HCD.
The Project architecture features a traditional farmhouse style. The overall design,
massing, features, and materials of the new construction will be compatible with and
complement the variation of styles within the neighborhood. The farmhouse
architectural style would include exterior horizontal and vertical board siding, exterior
wood finishes, vinyl frame hung windows, wood eave brackets, wood trellises,
decorative light fixtures, an enhanced frontage -facing porch area for Unit 1, and porticos
for the remaining units. Moreover, the structure is designed to fully screen all
mechanical equipment with the inclusion of walls or enhanced landscaping screens.
Overall, the Project will include a design and quality construction materials that will
ensure that the Project ages well for the duration of the building's lifetime.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the requested appropriation adjustment will recognize $2,200,000 in the
Inclusionary Housing Fund, Prior Year Carry Forward revenue account (no. 41718002-

CLERK OF THE COUNCIL
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (referred to as the "Developer"), requested
financial assistance in connection with the proposed development of six (6) affordable
ownership units at 1921 W. Washington Avenue, Santa Ana, CA (APN 405-101-37)
("Project").
The Project site is located at 1921 W. Washington Avenue. The current structures on the
site have been abandoned for over a decade. The buildings have deteriorated to the point
that they are no longer habitable. The proposed Project will consist of three duplex
buildings and will provide six new affordable ownership opportunities for low-income
families who earn up to 80% of the Orange County Area Median Income in the City of
Santa Ana. All units will be three -bedroom and have a minimum of two -bathroom. Each
unit will have a private two -car garage with direct access to their unit. Units will range in
size from 1,100 sq. ft. to approximately 1,430 sq. ft. of interior living space. In addition,
each unit will have a private yard. One unit will be constructed as an accessible unit with
mobility and communication features in compliance with the California Building Code.
These homes will be made available exclusively to qualifying low-income families who
earn up to 80% of the Orange County Area Median Income. The Project will have a

preference for families who live or work in the City of Santa Ana. Construction will comply
with all City of Santa Ana, county, and state building codes.
The City of Santa Ana ("City") has reviewed the Developer's request for financial
assistance, and at the City Council meeting on November 15, 2022, the City Council
authorized and approved issuance of this pre -commitment letter evidencing the
preliminary award of $2,200,000 in Inclusionary Housing Funds consisting of ("City
Assistance"):
- A Conditional Grant in the maximum amount of $2,200,000 from the
Inclusionary Housing Fund held by the City for the Project ("Conditional
Inclusionary Housing Grant").
This letter shall evidence the City's pre -commitment of the City Assistance to the
Developer for the Project subject to the conditions described below.
City Assistance:
The amount of the proposed City Assistance has been determined based upon the
City's review of the Developer's request for the receipt of the City Assistance and the
development proforma and projected cash flows for the Project submitted by the
Developer to the City ("Proforma"). The City Manager has the authority to approve
revised development proformas and projected cash flows for the Project; provided,
however, that the City Assistance is not increased or extended.
The City Assistance shall include the following terms:
• The Conditional Inclusionary Housing Grant shall be for a maximum principal
amount of $2,200,000, or as much thereof, as is disbursed for hard and soft
costs in constructing the Project, provided from the Inclusionary Housing Fund.
Provided Developer constructs the Project according to the Scope of Work and
Schedule of Performance, the Developer will be subject to no repayment
obligation. Upon the City's issuance of a Certificate of Completion, the Grant
Agreement shall automatically terminate. In the event the Project is not
constructed in compliance with the Scope of Work and Schedule of Performance
within two (2) years from the date of the first disbursement of the Grant funds, the
City may terminate the Grant Agreement and may seek repayment of Grant
monies not expended on development and construction of the Project pursuant
to the default remedy provisions of the Grant Agreement.
• The six (6) "Housing Units" at the Project shall and will be restricted to an affordable
home purchase price which will require that the six homes be sold to low-income
qualified buyers who earn up to 80% of the Orange County Area Median Income
as set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). Future
EXHIBIT 1
sales of such single-family homes will be restricted to income -qualified households
for a period of at least forty-five (45) years.
• Developer will have a local preference for families who live or work in the City of
Santa Ana in the selection of low-income qualified buyers.
Developer will ensure that each "Program Participant" (used interchangeably with
"Homebuyer") means the selected eligible person or Family who will be purchasing
a House. Each Program Participant will be providing not less than five hundred
(500) hours of sweat equity toward the development of their House, or any other
improvements as may be designated by the Developer. Each Program Participant
is to be selected by the Developer as more fully set forth in its Marketing Outreach
and Sales Program.
Developer's Program to develop affordable ownership opportunities with financial
support from the City is subject to Chapter 11 B of the California Building Code as
public housing. Accordingly, Developer's Program must comply with California
Building Code section 11 B-233.3. Specifically, Developer's Program must comply
with requirements for mobility features: "In facilities with residential dwelling units,
at least 5 percent, but no fewer than one unit, of the total number of residential
dwelling units shall provide mobility features." In addition, Developer's Program
must also comply with requirements for communication features: "in public housing
facilities with residential dwelling units, at least 2 percent, but no fewer than one
unit, of the total number of residential dwelling units shall provide communication
features complying with Section 11 B-809.5." Developer shall comply with these
public housing requirements for their Program in the California Building Code by
constructing one unit in the Project that includes the required mobility features and
communication features.
• At the close of escrow for the purchase of each Affordable Unit, the City will require
each Low Income Household purchasing such Unit to execute the following
documents:
o _Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions — The Affordable Housing Resale
Restrictions shall permit sales of an Affordable Unit sold to a Low Income
Household only to a qualified Low Income Household with a local
preference for families who live or work in the City of Santa Ana, in each
case, at an Affordable Housing Cost;
o Notice of Affordability on Transfer of Property — The Notice of Affordability
on Transfer of Property shall be for a term of at least forty-five (45) years;
o Promissory Note — The principal amount of the City Promissory Note shall
be in an amount equal to the difference between the sales price of the
Affordable Unit and the fair market value of such unit as if no restriction were
placed thereon, as determined by the sales price of equivalent unrestricted
units on the Sites at the time of such sale. If there are no equivalent
unrestricted units on the Sites at the time of sale, the fair market value of
EXHIBIT 1
the unit shall be determined by appraisal, which is reasonably acceptable
to the City;
o Deed of Trust; and,
o Homebuyer Loan Agreement.
General Provisions:
The City's obligation to provide the City Assistance to the Project is subject to each of

requirements. These funds are deposited into the Inclusionary Housing Fund, as defined by SAMC
section 41-1901, and are to be used to increase and improve the supply of affordable housing per

Developer has demolished the structures and now desires to improve the Property with three duplex
buildings that will provide six new affordable homeownership opportunities for low-income
families who earn no more than eighty percent of the Orange County Area Median Income (the
"Project").
D. Developer responded to a request for proposals from the City regarding the
Inclusionary Housing Fund, and the Project was selected for an award of funds. Consistent with the
Pre -Commitment Letter from the City dated November 16, 2022, City desires to provide financial
assistance to Developer for the development and construction of the Project by providing a grant to
Developer in an amount not to exceed Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000)
on terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement ("Inclusionary Grant"). The Inclusionary Grant
is funded through the City's Inclusionary Housing Fund for the purpose of providing affordable
housing.
E. The amount of the Inclusionary Grant was determined based upon the City's review
of the Developer's proposal, the development Proforma and projected cash flows for the Project
submitted by the Developer to the City ("Proforma"). The City Project Manager has authority to
approve revisions to the Proforma and projected cash flows for the Project, provided that the

disbursed in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents or, if no Senior Loan, then held by the
City and disbursed in accordance with the City's then customary disbursement procedures and
related provisions. Any amounts remaining undisbursed following completion of such restoration
shall be returned to Developer, and any other amounts remaining shall either be paid to Developer
or applied by the Senior Lender, or the City in the absence of a Senior Loan, as the case may be
against any obligations that are secured by a lien on the Property, as they elect in their sole and
absolute discretion.
15.15 Failure to Satisfy Conditions. In the event that Developer fails to fulfill the
Restoration Conditions within one hundred and eighty (180) days (unless extended pursuant to
Section 15.4) following the date Proceeds are received, the Proceeds shall be applied by City
against any obligations to City that are secured by a lien on the Property, and the selection of
which such obligations to apply the Proceeds against shall be made by City in its sole and
absolute discretion.
15.16 Restoration. Nothing in this Article 15 shall be construed to excuse Developer
from repairing and restoring all damage to the Property in accordance with other obligations of
this Agreement.
15.17 Condemnation, Treatment of Compensation.
(a) Subject to any superior rights of Senior Lender, Developer hereby assigns
to the City, as security for all obligations to City secured by a lien on the Property, all amounts
payable to Developer in connection with any Condemnation, and any proceeds of any related
settlement (collectively, "Compensation"). Subject to any superior rights of Senior Lender,
Developer shall deliver such remaining Compensation to City immediately upon receipt. If the
taking results in a loss of the Property to an extent that, in the reasonable opinion of City, renders
or is likely to render the Property not economically viable or if, in City's reasonable judgment
Developer's security is otherwise impaired, City may apply the Compensation received due to
judgment or settlement in connection with any condemnation or other taking to repay the
Inclusionary Grant. If so applied, any award in excess of the Inclusionary Grant repayment and
other sums due to City shall be paid to Developer or Developer's assignee. City shall have no
obligation to take any action in connection with any actual or threatened condemnation or other
proceeding.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the value of City's liens are not
impaired, any condemnation proceeds may be used by the Developer for repair and/or restoration
of the Project.

obligations, covenants or agreements hereunder, the defaulting party shall be entitled to cure the
default in accordance with this section. The injured party shall give written notice of default to the

at its option and in its absolute discretion, do any or all of the following:

with any term of such award.
16.3 Cumulative Remedies: No Waiver. City's rights and remedies under this
Agreement are cumulative and in addition to all rights and remedies provided by law. The
exercise by City of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure or waiver of any default, nor
invalidate any notice of default or any act done pursuant to any such notice, nor prejudice the City
in the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver of any default shall be implied from any
omission by City to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated.
27
5 53 94.0010 1 \42414134.1
EXHIBIT 2
No waiver of any default shall affect any default other than the default expressly waived, and any
such waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent stated. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or related agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same provision. City's consent to of -approval of any act by Developer
requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act. The City's acceptance of the late performance of any
obligation shall not constitute a waiver by City of the right to require prompt performance of all
further obligations; City's acceptance of any performance following the sending or filing of any
notice of default shall not constitute a waiver of either party's right to proceed with the exercise of
its remedies for -any unfulfilled obligations; and City's acceptance of any partial performance shall
not constitute a waiver by City of any rights.
16.4 Limitation of Developer Remedies. In the event that the City is liable for
damages to Developer, such liability shall not exceed costs incurred by the Developer in the
performance of this Agreement and shall not extend to compensation for loss of future income,
profits or assets.

decree or order for the payment of money obtained in any action to enforce the obligation of
Developer to repay the Inclusionary Grant.

behalf of Developer shall be deemed to be a cure by Developer and shall be accepted or rejected
on the same basis as if made or tendered by Developer.
17. MISCELLANEOUS
17.1 Obligations Unconditional and Independent. Notwithstanding the existence at
any time of any obligation or liability of City to Developer, or any other claim by developer against
City, in connection with the Inclusionary Grant or otherwise, Developer hereby waives any right it
might otherwise have: (a) to offset any such obligation, liability or claim against Developer's
obligations under this Agreement; or, (b) to claim that the existence of any such outstanding
obligation, liability or claim excuses the nonperformance by Developer of any of its obligations
under this Agreement.

Project Description
1921 West Washington Avenue
Santa Ana, CA
Overview
The proposed project will be developed at the vacant lot located at 1921 West Washington Avenue,
Santa Ana CA, and includes the construction of three new duplex buildings that accommodate six
100-percent affordable, for -sale residential units.
Floor Plan and Unit Amenities
The front two duplex buildings (Units 1- 4, closest to Washington Avenue) are designed with a similar floor
plan, and each contain the same square footage of approximately 1,859-square-feet (net floor area) for
each unit.
The rear duplex building (Units 5 & 6) will consist of 3,446 square -feet of floor area. In total, all new floor
area onsite will be 10,882 square -feet. Units 1-4 each will consist of three bedrooms, two and a half
restrooms, a kitchen, living room, and in -unit laundry facilities. Unit 5 will consist of 1,165 square -feet with
three bedrooms, two restrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a balcony. Unit 6 will consist
of one 1,168-square-foot ADA compliant unit with three bedrooms, two restrooms, a dining room, living
room, kitchen, and in -unit laundry facilities.
Design Description
The project architecture features a traditional farmhouse style. The overall design, massing, features, and
materials of the new construction will be compatible with and complement the variation of styles within
the neighborhood. The farmhouse architectural style would include exterior horizontal and vertical board
siding, exterior wood finishes, vinyl frame hung windows, wood eave brackets, wood trellises, decorative
light fixtures, an enhanced frontage -facing porch area for Unit 1 and porticos for the remaining units.
Moreover, the structure is designed to fully screen all mechanical equipment with the
inclusion of walls or enhanced landscaping screens. Overall, the project will include a design and quality
construction materials that will ensure that the project ages well for the duration of the building's lifetime.
Landscaping
The landscaping concept consists of drought -tolerant and native plants where feasible that complements
the Project's architecture and is consistent with the overall landscaping of the surrounding neighborhood.
Parking
Onsite there will be a total of 15 parking stalls, which consist of two garage stalls per unit (tandem spaces
for Unit 5) and three guest surface spaces (one ADA compliant space).
Homeowners Association (HOA)
The maintenance of Habitat developments is handled by a Homeowners Association (HOA) that is formed
and incorporated by Habitat during the construction phase of the development. The HOA will maintain the
property in a safe, decent, and sanitary manner and ensure the projects are maintained in accordance with
all permits, building codes and other requirements imposed by a Governmental Authority.

Santa Ana, CA
The scope of work for this Project shall include the processing of permits, all necessary site work for the
construction of three duplex buildings and construction completion, performing maintenance obligations

Affordable Units in this project
Performing Maintenance Obligations
The maintenance of Habitat developments is handled by a Homeowners Association (HOA) that is formed
and incorporated by Habitat during the construction phase of the development. During this time, a
property manager is hired, so the HOA gets off to a strong start.
Habitat OC reviews the details of the development with the budget preparer with a preference to include
maintenance details including costs of maintenance, repair, and improvements in HOA responsibility,
rather than that of the homeowner, to ensure completion on a regular schedule. The HOA's responsibility
covers the common area including improvements and landscaping in a manner consistent with community
standards and in accordance with the Santa Ana Municipal Code.
The HOA will maintain the property in a safe, decent, and sanitary manner and ensure the projects are
maintained in accordance with all permits, building codes and other requirements imposed by a
Governmental Authority. In addition, all exterior, painted surfaces of any structures located on the Property
will be maintained at all times in a clean and good condition.

Property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner to inspect the Project, after providing notice as
follows: (i) at least a 24-hour notice to Developer and Tenants / Homebuyer of the Affordable Unit which
will be inspected, or (ii) at least 48 hours' notice to Developer.
Operational Requirements Related to Sale of the Affordable Units
Affordability: The Developer will conduct marketing and outreach to reach low-income households
(households whose income does not exceed eighty (80%) of the area median income for the Orange County,
California PMSA).
Homebuyer Local Preference and Priority:
Subject to applicable laws and regulations governing nondiscrimination and preferences in housing
occupancy required by the State of California, the Developer shall give a local preference in selecting
Homebuyers of the Affordable Units. The Developer will adhere to the City's requirement to provide first
priority to persons who have been permanently displaced or who face permanent displacement from
housing in the City as a result of any of the following: (i) for projects funded by the Low -Moderate Income
EXHIBIT 2
ANOWIRMI
.
Housing Asset Fund, a redevelopment project undertaken pursuant to California's Community
Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq.); (ii) Ellis Act, owner -occupancy, or
removal permit eviction; (iii) earthquake, fire, flood, or other natural disaster; (iv) cancellation of a Housing
Choice Voucher HAP Contract by property owner; or (v) governmental action, such as Code Enforcement.
Second, the Developer will provide priority to persons who are either: (i) residents of Santa Ana, (ii)
individuals working in the City at least thirty two (32) hours per work for at least six (6) months prior to the
occupancy, (iii) persons who seek to reside in the City as an accommodation to a mental or physical
disability, or (iv) households with students who attend public school in the City.

COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS (DENSITY BONUS) ("Regulatory Agreement"), made
and entered into this _ day of , 2024 ("Effective Date"), by and between the
City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation of the State of California ("City"), and
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, a California nonprofit religious corporation
("Developer"). City and Developer are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Parties" and
individually as a "Party."
RECITALS
A. Developer is the owner of that certain property located within the City of Santa
Ana, County of Orange, State of California, commonly known as 1921 W.
Washington Avenue, Santa Ana, California, (APN 405-101-37), with the legal
description set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference ("Property").
B. City and Developer have entered into a Conditional Grant Agreement, pursuant to
which, City agreed to provide a grant (the "Inclusionary Grant") in an amount up
to Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000) to Developer for a
residential homeownership project that involves construction of six (6) affordable
housing units restricted for sale to low income households, which will be provided
within three (3) duplex buildings, and include related amenities, including but not
limited to: parking, landscaping, lighting, signage, and other amenities, and all
other on -site and off -site improvements required for operation of the Property (the
"Project").
C. As a condition of receiving the Inclusionary Grant, Developer agrees that this
Regulatory Agreement shall be recorded against the Property prior to disbursement

of any portion of the Inclusionary Grant and that the Property and the Project shall
be subject to the covenants and restrictions set forth herein.
D. In addition, in connection with the Project, Developer seeks a density bonus under
California Government Code § 65915, et seq. ("State Density Bonus Law") and

Ordinance"). Based on the Property size of 0.37 acres, and the City's allowable
density for the Property of seven (7) dwelling units per acre, without the density
bonus, the existing density for the Property would allow only two (2) dwelling units
on the Property (rounded down from 2.59). Thus, the City also enters into this
Agreement to fulfill requirements of the State Density Bonus Law and City Density
Bonus Ordinance.
E. In light of the purpose of the State Density Bonus Law and City Density Bonus
Ordinance, City has determined to approve Developer's application for four (4)
concessions/incentives and one (1) waiver.

Agreement, and the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,

Bonus) (hereafter, the "Regulatory Agreement"), entered into between City and Developer of the
Property, which was recorded against the Affordable Unit to impose the conditions, covenants,

Restriction.
E. Homebuyer has represented to City that Homebuyer and Homebuyer's household
intend to reside in the Property as Homebuyer's principal residence at all times during

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions
"Affordability Period" means that period of time commencing upon the Date of this
Restriction and terminating on the forty-fifth (45th) anniversary of such date.
"Affordable Housing Cost" means the purchase price for Moderate Income Households
pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 50052.5, the implementing regulations of

Income Households
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Restriction, if the Property is sold during the
Affordability Period by Homebuyer to a Low Income Household, and the Sales Price does not
exceed an "Affordable Housing Cost" to such Buyer, then so long as the Maker is not in default
(either Ownership Default or Maintenance Default) of the Agreement, the Note may be assumed
by the eligible Buyer by an assignment and assumption agreement that is reasonably acceptable
to City. Upon the effective date of such assignment and assumption, the assigning Homebuyer
shall no longer be liable for any further obligations under the Loan Agreement or this Restriction
that accrue after the date of such assignment and assumption. In order to verify the Buyer's
status as a Low Income Household, Homebuyer shall submit to the City the identity of the
proposed Buyer and adequate information evidencing the income and household size of the
proposed Buyer. Said income information shall be submitted together with the notice of
proposed sale pursuant to Section 2 of the Loan Agreement not less than thirty (30) days prior to
opening of escrow for the proposed sale and shall include original or true copies of pay stubs,
income tax records or other financial documents in order that the City may determine and verify
the household income of the proposed Buyer to determine whether the Buyer is a Low Income
Household, and whether the Property is being transferred to such Buyer at an Affordable

defined and described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing for purposes of acceleration of the

term "Ownership Default" means the failure of Homebuyer to perform any action or covenant
required by the Affordable Housing Resale Restriction related to ownership, owner -occupancy,
lien priority, and restrictions on sale and resale of the Property subject to the notice and

Lien shall be a cross -default and also constitute an Ownership Default. The term "Maintenance
Default" means the failure of Homebuyer to perform any action or covenant required by

information which Homebuyer has provided to City with respect to Homebuyer's income and the

and remains true and correct as of the Date of this Restriction.
4. Permitted Sales of the Property. City hereby permits sales of the Property to
proposed Transferees who are Low Income Households, and are approved in accordance with
this Section 4, provided the Sales Price does not exceed an Affordable Housing Cost to such
proposed Transferee ("Permitted Transfers"). In the event that Homebuyer desires to Transfer
the Property during the Affordability Period, prior to the Transfer the owner shall notify City by
delivering a Notice of Intent to Transfer to City, which shall indicate the identity of the proposed
Transferee who desires to purchase the Property, whether the purchaser is a Low Income

following procedure shall apply:

event a Transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Restriction or false or misleading
statements are made in any documents or certificate submitted to City for its approval of the
Transfer, City shall have the right to file an action at law or in equity to make the parties
terminate and/or rescind the sales contract and/or declare the sale void notwithstanding the fact
that the Transfer may have closed and become final as between Homebuyer and Transferee.
d. Written Consent of City Required Before Transfer. During the
Affordability Period, the Property, and any interest therein, shall not be conveyed by any
Transfer except with the express written consent of City, which consent shall be given only if the
Transfer is in accordance with the provisions of this Restriction. This provision shall not
prohibit the encumbering of title for the sole purpose of securing financing of the purchase price
of the Property.
e. Notice of Prohibited Transfer. Within twenty (20) days after receiving
notification of a proposed Transfer in accordance with Section 4a., City shall determine and give
notice to Homebuyer as to whether the proposed Transfer is a Permitted Transfer or Prohibited
Transfer, or whether the Transfer would cause an acceleration of the Note. In the event that the
proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, such notice to Homebuyer shall specify the nature of
the Prohibited Transfer. If the violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of City within ten (10)
days after the date of the notice, or within such further time as City determines is necessary to
correct the violation, City may declare a Default under this Restriction. Upon the declaration of
a Default, City may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of this
Restriction, for an injunction prohibiting a proposed sale or Transfer in violation of this
Restriction, for a declaration that the Prohibited Transfer is void, or for any such other relief as
may be appropriate.

5. Encumbrances.
a. Subordination. Except as provided otherwise herein, the provisions of
the Loan Agreement, this Restriction, the Notice of Affordability Restrictions and the City Deed
of Trust and Rider, the obligations herein and therein, shall be subordinate only to the First Lien
on the Property and, if applicable, other loan(s) as approved by the Executive Director, including
lien instruments that secure other Homebuyer purchase money and/or down payment assistance,
including without limitation City, State of California, or federal affordable housing programs,
which liens shall not impair the rights under the First Lien in the event of default under the First
Lien by Homebuyer. Such remedies under the First Lien include the right of foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. If title to the Property is transferred by
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or assignment of the First Lien to the
Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Loan Agreement, this
Restriction, and City Deed of Trust shall be automatically terminated and shall have no further
effect as to the Property or any Transferee thereafter. However, in no event shall the Loan
Agreement, the City Deed of Trust, and this Affordable Housing Resale Restriction, be
subordinate to any First Lien on the Property securing a loan with provisions which allow
negative amortization, or to refinancing of the lien of the First Lien for a loan amount in excess
of the sum of the then current loan balance secured by the First Lien and loan closing costs.
b. Request for Notice of Default. City may cause a Request for Notice to
be recorded on the Property subsequent to the recordation of the First Lien deed of trust or
mortgage requesting a statutory notice of default as set forth in California Civil Code Section
2924b. A form of a Request for Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein.
C. Further Encumbrances. Homebuyer agrees that it shall not record or
cause the recordation of any deed of trust ("Further Encumbrance") securing a note having an
original principal sum which, when added to the sum of the principal amount(s) of any notes
secured by any deeds of trust against the Property as of the date of recordation of the Further
Encumbrance, exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Property.

7. Uses. Homebuyer covenants and agrees to devote, use and maintain the Property
in accordance with this Restriction. All uses conducted on the Property, including, without
limitation, all activities undertaken by Homebuyer pursuant to this Restriction, shall conform to

RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST
This RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST is made and delivered pursuant to and in
implementation of the Homebuyer Loan Agreement entered by and between the Trustor and the
Beneficiary dated concurrently herewith ("Agreement"), a copy of which is on file as a public
record with the Beneficiary at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California 92701 and is
incorporated herein by reference. Unless definitions of terms have been expressly set out at
length herein, each term shall have the same definition as set forth in the Agreement. Trustor
and Beneficiary further covenant and agree as follows:
1. Acceleration of Payment. The whole of the Note Amount and all other
payments due hereunder and under the Agreement shall become due and be immediately payable
to the Beneficiary by the Trustor upon the occurrence of any one of the following events of
acceleration:
(a) the sale or transfer of the Property (or any part thereof) by any means,
including, without limitation, the lease, exchange or other disposition of the Property or any
interest therein, whether voluntary or involuntary, except (A) a sale of the Property to a qualified
Low Income Household at an Affordable Housing Cost with the Beneficiary's prior written
approval accomplished in strict conformity with Section 4 of the Agreement, or (B) the transfer
of the Property solely as a result of the marriage, divorce, incompetence or death of one or more
individuals constituting the Trustor, so long as the transferee(s) give written notice supported by
reasonable evidence of such event to the Beneficiary within thirty (30) days of its occurrence and
the transferee(s) assume(s) the Trustor's obligations under the Agreement, by execution of an
assignment and assumption agreement to be provided by the Beneficiary, or (C) a sale or transfer
which under federal law would not, by itself, permit the Beneficiary to exercise a due on sale or
due on encumbrance clause;
(b) the Trustor refinances any purchase money lien or encumbrance to which
the Authority Deed of Trust is subordinate (each such lien, a "First Lien") for a loan amount in
excess of the then current loan balance secured by such lien or encumbrance and loan closing
costs; and/or
(c) the Trustor fails to own and occupy the Property as their principal
residence pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement or is in Ownership Default as defined in
Section 18 of the Agreement.
At the request of the Trustor, and for a specific occasion, the Beneficiary may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, in writing waive the requirements of these subparagraphs. Any
waiver or deferment shall be on a case by case basis, and no future rights for waiver or deferment
shall arise or be implied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustor may, upon prior written
approval by the Beneficiary, refinance any First Lien for a loan amount equal to or less than the
then current loan balance secured by such First Lien.
2. Reserved.
Exhibit C
EXHIBIT 2
EXHIBIT D
3. Sale to Low Income Household. During the Affordability Period, the Note
Amount will not become due and payable, if Trustor sells or otherwise conveys the Property to a
Low Income Household at an Affordable Sales Price (an "Eligible Household"), and the
purchaser assumes the Note and the Agreement by an assignment and assumption agreement
which is reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary.
For the purposes of this Authority Deed of Trust, the Note, and the Agreement, "Low
Income" and "Low Income Households" means low income households as defined in Health &
Safety Code Section 50079.5.
3.1 Affordable Sales Price and Affordable Housing Cost — Low Income
Household.
"Affordable Housing Cost" shall be as defined in Health & Safety Code Section 50052.5
(or its successor statute) and the implementing regulations thereto promulgated by the Housing
and Community Development Department of the State of California.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, if the Property is sold during the
Affordability Period by the Trustor to a Low Income Household and the Affordable Sales Price
does not exceed an "Affordable Housing Cost" to such Buyer, then so long as the Trustor is not
in default (either Ownership Default or Maintenance Default) of the Agreement, this Note may
be assumed by the eligible Buyer by an assignment and assumption agreement which is
reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary. Upon the effective date of such assignment and
assumption, the assigning Trustor shall no longer be liable for any further obligations under the
Agreement, the Note or the City Deed of Trust that accrue after the date of such assignment and
assumption. In order to verify the Buyer's status as a Low Income Household, the Trustor shall
submit to the Beneficiary the identity of the proposed Buyer and adequate information
evidencing the income and household size of the proposed Buyer. Said income information shall
be submitted together with the notice of proposed sale pursuant the Agreement not less than
thirty (30) days prior to opening of escrow for the proposed sale and shall include original or true
copies of pay stubs, income tax records or other financial documents in order that the Holder
may determine and verify the household income of the proposed Buyer to determine whether the
Buyer is a Low Income Household, and whether the Property is being transferred to such Buyer
at an Affordable Housing Cost. If the Holder is unable to verify the Buyer's income as provided
herein prior to the proposed sale, then the Buyer's income shall be deemed to exceed the
maximum allowable income limit for Eligible Persons and Families.
4. Subordination. Except as provided otherwise herein, the provisions of the
Agreement, the Notice of Affordability Restrictions, this Rider and Deed of Trust, and the
Affordable Housing Resale Restriction, and the obligations therein, shall be subordinate only to
the First Lien on the Property held by the Lender and, if applicable, other loan(s) as approved by
the Executive Director, including lien instruments that secure other homebuyer purchase money
and/or downpayment assistance, including without limitation City, State of California, or federal
affordable housing programs, which liens shall not impair the rights of Lender, or Lender's
assignee or successor in interest or the City, if applicable, to exercise their remedies under the
First Lien in the event of default under the First Lien by the Homebuyer. Such remedies under
the First Lien include the right of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of
Exhibit C
EXHIBIT 2
*AV :I1-.11a 7
foreclosure. If title to the Property is transferred by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or assignment of the First Lien to the Secretary of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, this Agreement and the Authority Deed of Trust shall be automatically
terminated and shall have no further effect as to the Property or any transferee thereafter.
However, in no event shall this Agreement, the Deed of Trust, and the Affordable Housing
Resale Restriction, be subordinate to any First Lien on the Property securing a loan with
provisions which allow negative amortization, or to refinancing of the lien of the First Lien for a
loan amount in excess of the sum of the then current loan balance secured by the First Lien and
loan closing costs.
Trustor agrees it shall instruct the Escrow Agent for the acquisition of the
Property by Trustor that the order of recording in the escrow for the purchase of the Property by
Trustor shall occur as follows: (1) the Grant Deed, (2) the First Lien; (3) other affordable
housing loan(s), if applicable; (4) the Affordable Housing Resale Restriction; (5) the Notice of
Affordability Restrictions and (6) the Deed of Trust. City shall cause a Request for Notice of
Default to be recorded on the Property subsequent to the recordation of the First Lien deed of
trust or mortgage requesting a statutory notice of default as set forth in the California Civil Code
Section 2924b, and shall cause a request for Notice of Delinquency to be recorded on the
Property subsequent to the recordation of the First Lien deed of trust or mortgage.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has executed this Rider to Deed of Trust as of the
date set forth below.

Exhibit D
EXHIBIT 2
*AV :I1-.11a 7
(a) the sale or transfer of the Property (or any part thereof) by any means,
including, without limitation, the lease, exchange or other disposition of the Property or any
interest therein, whether voluntary or involuntary, except (i) a sale of the Property to a qualified
Low Income Household at an Affordable Housing Cost with the City's prior written approval
accomplished in strict conformity with [Section 4] of the Agreement, or (ii) the transfer of the
Property solely as a result of the marriage, divorce, incompetence or death of one or more
individuals constituting the Homebuyer, so long as the transferee(s) give written notice
supported by reasonable evidence of such event to the Authority within thirty (30) days of its
occurrence and the transferee(s) assume(s) the Homebuyer's obligations under the Agreement,
by execution of an assignment and assumption agreement to be provided by the Authority, or
(iii) a sale or transfer which under federal law would not, by itself, permit the City to exercise a
due on sale or due on encumbrance clause;
(b) the Maker refinances any purchase money lien or encumbrance to which
the City Deed of Trust is subordinate (each such lien, a "First Lien") for a loan amount in excess
of the then current loan balance secured by such lien or encumbrance and loan closing costs;
and/or
(c) the Maker (and all co -signors and co -mortgagors, if any) fails to own and
occupy the Property as their principal residence pursuant to [Section 7] of the Agreement or is in
Ownership Default as defined in [Section 18] of the Agreement.
At the request of the Maker, and for a specific occasion, the Holder may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, in writing waive the requirements of these subparagraphs and defer
repayment and/or extend the term of this Note. Any waiver or deferment shall be on a case by
case basis, and no future rights for waiver or deferment shall arise or be implied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker may, upon prior written approval by the Holder,
refinance any First Lien for a loan amount equal to or less than the then current loan balance
secured by such First Lien.
7. Reserved.
8. Right of First Refusal. Homebuyer shall notify the Holder of any desire to sell
the Property immediately. Homebuyer shall also immediately notify Developer (Habitat for
Humanity of Orange County) as required by the terms of the Agreement and documents executed
between Homebuyer and Developer provide Developer an option and the right of first refusal to
purchase the Property.
9. Sale to Low Income Household at Affordable Housing Cost. During the
Affordability Period, the Note will not become due and payable in connection with such sale, if
the Maker sells or otherwise conveys the Property to an Eligible Household, and the purchaser
assumes this Note and the Agreement by an assignment and assumption agreement which is
reasonably acceptable to the Holder.
9.1 Affordable Housing Cost — Low Income Household. The Maker has qualified
as and each eligible and qualified successor -in -interest to the Maker shall be a Low Income
Household. The term "Affordable Housing Cost" as used herein and for each Homebuyer (and
2
Exhibit D
EXHIBIT 2
*AV :I1-.11a 7
all successors thereto during the Affordability Period) shall be as defined in Health & Safety
Code Section 50079.5 (or its successor statute) and the implementing regulations thereto
promulgated by the Housing and Community Development Department of the State of
California; provided, however, that the term Affordable Housing Cost shall include Monthly
Housing Cost as defined in Section 6924 of Title 25 of the Regulations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.1, if the Property is sold during
the Affordability Period by the Maker to an Eligible Household, and the Sales Price does not
exceed an "Affordable Housing Cost" to such Buyer, then so long as the Maker is not in default
(either Ownership Default and/or Maintenance Default) of the Agreement, this Note may be
assumed by the Eligible Household by an assignment and assumption agreement which is
reasonably acceptable to the Holder. Upon the effective date of such assignment and
assumption, the assigning Maker shall no longer be liable for any further obligations under the
Agreement or this Note that accrue after the date of such assignment and assumption. In order to
verify the Buyer's status as a Low Income Household, the Maker shall submit to the Holder the
identity of the proposed Buyer and adequate information evidencing the income and household
size of the proposed Buyer. Said income information shall be submitted together with the notice
of proposed sale pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement not less than thirty (30) days prior to
opening of escrow for the proposed sale and shall include original or true copies of pay stubs,
income tax records or other financial documents in order that the Holder may verify the
household income of the proposed Buyer to determine whether the Buyer is a Low Income
Household, and whether the Property is being transferred to such Buyer at an Affordable
Housing Cost. If the Holder is unable to verify the Buyer's income as provided herein prior to
the proposed sale, then the Buyer's income shall be deemed to exceed the maximum allowable
income limit for an Eligible Household.
10. Security for Note. This Note shall be secured by a subordinate deed of trust and
rider thereto of even date herewith encumbering the Property (the "City Deed of Trust"),
executed by the Maker, as Trustor, in favor of the Holder, as beneficiary.
11. Prepayment of Note. The Maker may prepay this Note to the Holder, provided
that any prepayment must be in full and not in part. Prepayment shall be treated in the same
manner as refinancing of the Property. In any event, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding such prepayment.
12. Holder May Assign. The Holder may, at its option, assign its right to receive
payment under this Note without necessity of obtaining the consent of the Maker.
13. Maker Assignment Prohibited. In no event shall the Maker assign or transfer
any portion of this Note, the Note Amount and/or the Agreement without the prior express
written consent of the Holder, as provided in Section 9.
14. Joint and Several. The undersigned, if more than one, shall be jointly and
severally liable hereunder.
15. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. In the event that any action is instituted to enforce
payment under this Note, the parties agree the non -prevailing party shall be responsible for and
3

shall pay to the prevailing party all court costs and all attorneys' fees incurred in enforcing this
Note.
16. Amendments. This Note may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing expressing such intention executed by the parties sought to be bound
thereby, which writing must be so firmly attached to this Note so as to become a permanent part
thereof.
17. Maker's Waivers. The Maker waives any rights to require the Holder to:
(a) demand payment of amounts due (known as "presentment"), (b) give notice that amounts due
have not been paid (known as "notice of dishonor"), and (c) obtain an official certification of
nonpayment (known as "protest").
18. Notice. Any notice that must be given to the Maker under this Note shall be
given by personal delivery or by mailing it by certified mail addressed to the Maker at the
Property address above or such other address, as Maker shall direct from time to time in writing.
Failure or delay in giving any notice required hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any
default or late payment, nor shall it change the time for any default or payment. Any notice to
the Holder shall be given by certified mail at the address stated above.
19. Successors Bound. This Note shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, successors and assigns.
20. Effect of Foreclosure. If title to the Property is transferred by foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or assignment of the First Lien to the Secretary of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Agreement, the Affordable Housing Resale
Restriction executed pursuant to the Agreement, Notice of Affordability Restrictions and the
Authority Deed of trust shall be automatically terminated and shall have no further effect as to
the Property or any transferee thereafter.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has executed this Note as of the date set forth below.

Housing Resale Restriction (Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions Affecting

has been entered into by and between City and Homebuyer, and which is expected

e. Notice of Prohibited Transfer. Within twenty (20) days after
receiving notification of a proposed Transfer in accordance with Section 4a., City
shall determine and give notice to Homebuyer as to whether the proposed Transfer
is a Permitted Transfer or Prohibited Transfer, or whether the Transfer would cause
an acceleration under the Note under Section 1.f. of the Agreement, in which case,
upon Homebuyer's payment of the Contingent Equity Participation Amount as set
forth in Section 3 of the Agreement such Transfer would be deemed a Permitted
Transfer. In the event that the proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, such
notice to Homebuyer shall specify the nature of the Prohibited Transfer. If the
violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of City within ten (10) days after the
date of the notice, or within such further time as City determines is necessary to
correct the violation, City may declare a Default under this Restriction. Upon the
declaration of a Default, City may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance of this Restriction, for an injunction prohibiting a proposed
sale or Transfer in violation of this Restriction, for a declaration that the Prohibited
Transfer is void, or for any such other relief as may be appropriate.
f. Delivery of Documents. Upon the close of the proposed
Transfer, Homebuyer and Transferee, as applicable, shall provide the City with a

certificates required by this Section 4 and any other documents City may request."

REGULATORY AGREEMENT
IMPOSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
(DENSITY BONUS)
(1921 W. Washington, Santa Ana, California; APN: 405-101-37)
This REGULATORY AGREEMENT IMPOSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS (DENSITY BONUS) ("Regulatory Agreement"), made
and entered into this _ day of , 2024 ("Effective Date"), by and between the
City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation of the State of California ("City"), and
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, a California nonprofit religious corporation
("Developer"). City and Developer are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Parties" and
individually as a "Party."
RECITALS
A. Developer is the owner of that certain property located within the City of Santa
Ana, County of Orange, State of California, commonly known as 1921 W.
Washington Avenue, Santa Ana, California, (APN 405-101-37), with the legal
description set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference ("Property").
B. City and Developer have entered into a Conditional Grant Agreement, pursuant to
which, City agreed to provide a grant (the "Inclusionary Grant") in an amount up
to Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000) to Developer for a
residential homeownership project that involves construction of six (6) affordable
housing units restricted for sale to low income households, which will be provided
within three (3) duplex buildings, and include related amenities, including but not
limited to: parking, landscaping, lighting, signage, and other amenities, and all
other on -site and off -site improvements required for operation of the Property (the
"Project").
C. As a condition of receiving the Inclusionary Grant, Developer agrees that this
Regulatory Agreement shall be recorded against the Property prior to disbursement
5 53 94.00101 \42405 923.1
EXHIBIT 3
of any portion of the Inclusionary Grant and that the Property and the Project shall
be subject to the covenants and restrictions set forth herein.
D. In addition, in connection with the Project, Developer seeks a density bonus under
California Government Code § 65915, et seq. ("State Density Bonus Law") and
Santa Ana Municipal Code sections 41-1600, et seq. ("City Density Bonus
Ordinance"). Based on the Property size of 0.37 acres, and the City's allowable
density for the Property of seven (7) dwelling units per acre, without the density
bonus, the existing density for the Property would allow only two (2) dwelling units
on the Property (rounded down from 2.59). Thus, the City also enters into this
Agreement to fulfill requirements of the State Density Bonus Law and City Density
Bonus Ordinance.
E. In light of the purpose of the State Density Bonus Law and City Density Bonus
Ordinance, City has determined to approve Developer's application for four (4)
concessions/incentives and one (1) waiver.
F. Based upon the foregoing, on the terms and conditions set forth below, this
Agreement, and the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference,
are intended to (1) implement and fulfill obligations set forth in the Conditional
Grant Agreement, and (2) implement the Project's requirement to provide
affordable housing units in exchange for receiving the density bonus, concession
and waivers set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, which are incorporated herein
by this reference, and of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:

D. Homebuyer is a Low Income Household, as that term is defined in this
Restriction.
E. Homebuyer has represented to City that Homebuyer and Homebuyer's household
intend to reside in the Property as Homebuyer's principal residence at all times during
Homebuyer's ownership of the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions
"Affordability Period" means that period of time commencing upon the Date of this
Restriction and terminating on the forty-fifth (45th) anniversary of such date.
"Affordable Housing Cost" means the purchase price for Moderate Income Households
pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 50052.5, the implementing regulations of
Sections 6920, 6924 and 6930 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations for Moderate
Income Households
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Restriction, if the Property is sold during the
Affordability Period by Homebuyer to a Low Income Household, and the Sales Price does not
exceed an "Affordable Housing Cost" to such Buyer, then so long as the Maker is not in default
(either Ownership Default or Maintenance Default) of the Agreement, the Note may be assumed
by the eligible Buyer by an assignment and assumption agreement that is reasonably acceptable
to City. Upon the effective date of such assignment and assumption, the assigning Homebuyer
shall no longer be liable for any further obligations under the Loan Agreement or this Restriction
that accrue after the date of such assignment and assumption. In order to verify the Buyer's
status as a Low Income Household, Homebuyer shall submit to the City the identity of the
proposed Buyer and adequate information evidencing the income and household size of the
proposed Buyer. Said income information shall be submitted together with the notice of
proposed sale pursuant to Section 2 of the Loan Agreement not less than thirty (30) days prior to
opening of escrow for the proposed sale and shall include original or true copies of pay stubs,
income tax records or other financial documents in order that the City may determine and verify
the household income of the proposed Buyer to determine whether the Buyer is a Low Income
Household, and whether the Property is being transferred to such Buyer at an Affordable
Housing Cost. If the City is unable to verify the Buyer's income as provided herein prior to the
proposed sale, then the Buyer's income shall be deemed to exceed the maximum allowable
income limit for Eligible Persons and Families.

the City's successors and assigns.

The term default also includes an Ownership Default and a Maintenance Default as more fully
defined and described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing for purposes of acceleration of the
Homebuyer Loan, or initiation of foreclosure proceedings there shall be a distinction between the
types of default hereunder, including an "Ownership Default" and a "Maintenance Default." The
term "Ownership Default" means the failure of Homebuyer to perform any action or covenant
required by the Affordable Housing Resale Restriction related to ownership, owner -occupancy,
lien priority, and restrictions on sale and resale of the Property subject to the notice and
opportunity to cure provisions set forth herein. A default of any obligation secured by the First
Lien shall be a cross -default and also constitute an Ownership Default. The term "Maintenance
Default" means the failure of Homebuyer to perform any action or covenant required by
Restriction relating to a "Maintenance Deficiency," including the ongoing upkeep, maintenance,
and use of the Property in decent, safe, sanitary, clean, and neighborly manner, subject to the
notice and opportunity to cure provisions set forth herein (and expressly excluding an Ownership

meet the definition of a Low or Moderate Income Household; (ii) a life estate; (iii) creation of a

information which Homebuyer has provided to City with respect to Homebuyer's income and the
purchase price of the Property was true and correct at the time such information was provided,
and remains true and correct as of the Date of this Restriction.
4. Permitted Sales of the Property. City hereby permits sales of the Property to
proposed Transferees who are Low Income Households, and are approved in accordance with
this Section 4, provided the Sales Price does not exceed an Affordable Housing Cost to such
proposed Transferee ("Permitted Transfers"). In the event that Homebuyer desires to Transfer
the Property during the Affordability Period, prior to the Transfer the owner shall notify City by
delivering a Notice of Intent to Transfer to City, which shall indicate the identity of the proposed
Transferee who desires to purchase the Property, whether the purchaser is a Low Income
Household, and whether the sales price is at an Affordable Housing Cost. In addition to
Homebuyer's and the proposed Transferee's delivery of the Notice of Intent to Transfer, the
following procedure shall apply:
a. Notice to City. Homebuyer shall send the Notice of Intent to Transfer to
City at the address set forth in Section 24.

has been fully disclosed to City. The written certificate shall also include a provision that in the
event a Transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Restriction or false or misleading
statements are made in any documents or certificate submitted to City for its approval of the
Transfer, City shall have the right to file an action at law or in equity to make the parties
terminate and/or rescind the sales contract and/or declare the sale void notwithstanding the fact
that the Transfer may have closed and become final as between Homebuyer and Transferee.
d. Written Consent of City Required Before Transfer. During the
Affordability Period, the Property, and any interest therein, shall not be conveyed by any
Transfer except with the express written consent of City, which consent shall be given only if the
Transfer is in accordance with the provisions of this Restriction. This provision shall not
prohibit the encumbering of title for the sole purpose of securing financing of the purchase price
of the Property.
e. Notice of Prohibited Transfer. Within twenty (20) days after receiving
notification of a proposed Transfer in accordance with Section 4a., City shall determine and give
notice to Homebuyer as to whether the proposed Transfer is a Permitted Transfer or Prohibited
Transfer, or whether the Transfer would cause an acceleration of the Note. In the event that the
proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, such notice to Homebuyer shall specify the nature of
the Prohibited Transfer. If the violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of City within ten (10)
days after the date of the notice, or within such further time as City determines is necessary to
correct the violation, City may declare a Default under this Restriction. Upon the declaration of
a Default, City may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of this
Restriction, for an injunction prohibiting a proposed sale or Transfer in violation of this
Restriction, for a declaration that the Prohibited Transfer is void, or for any such other relief as
may be appropriate.
f. Delivery of Documents. Upon the close of the proposed Transfer,
Homebuyer and Transferee, as applicable, shall provide the City with a copy of the final sales
contract, settlement statement, escrow instructions, all certificates required by this Section 4 and
any other documents City may request.

5. Encumbrances.
a. Subordination. Except as provided otherwise herein, the provisions of
the Loan Agreement, this Restriction, the Notice of Affordability Restrictions and the City Deed
of Trust and Rider, the obligations herein and therein, shall be subordinate only to the First Lien
on the Property and, if applicable, other loan(s) as approved by the Executive Director, including
lien instruments that secure other Homebuyer purchase money and/or down payment assistance,
including without limitation City, State of California, or federal affordable housing programs,
which liens shall not impair the rights under the First Lien in the event of default under the First
Lien by Homebuyer. Such remedies under the First Lien include the right of foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure. If title to the Property is transferred by
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or assignment of the First Lien to the
Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Loan Agreement, this
Restriction, and City Deed of Trust shall be automatically terminated and shall have no further
effect as to the Property or any Transferee thereafter. However, in no event shall the Loan
Agreement, the City Deed of Trust, and this Affordable Housing Resale Restriction, be
subordinate to any First Lien on the Property securing a loan with provisions which allow
negative amortization, or to refinancing of the lien of the First Lien for a loan amount in excess
of the sum of the then current loan balance secured by the First Lien and loan closing costs.
b. Request for Notice of Default. City may cause a Request for Notice to
be recorded on the Property subsequent to the recordation of the First Lien deed of trust or
mortgage requesting a statutory notice of default as set forth in California Civil Code Section
2924b. A form of a Request for Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein.
C. Further Encumbrances. Homebuyer agrees that it shall not record or
cause the recordation of any deed of trust ("Further Encumbrance") securing a note having an
original principal sum which, when added to the sum of the principal amount(s) of any notes
secured by any deeds of trust against the Property as of the date of recordation of the Further
Encumbrance, exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Property.

(3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the

such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof,
Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in
and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance,
charge or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in

Exhibit C
EXHIBIT 3
(5) To Pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by
Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in

Beneficiary who may apply or release such monies received by him in the same manner and with
the same effect as above provided for disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance.
(2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date,
Beneficiary does not waive his right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums
so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.
(3) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and
without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed and said note
for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of said property; consent to the
making of any map or plat thereof, join in granting any easement thereon; or join in any

of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The
recitals in such reconveyance or any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness
thereof. The Grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally
entitled thereto."
(5) That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon
Beneficiary the right, power and authority, during the continuance of these Trusts, to collect the
rents, issues and profits of said property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior to any default by
Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any agreement
hereunder, to collect and retain such rents, issues and profits as they become due and payable.

collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in
such order as Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of said
property, the collection of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid,

RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST
This RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST is made and delivered pursuant to and in
implementation of the Homebuyer Loan Agreement entered by and between the Trustor and the
Beneficiary dated concurrently herewith ("Agreement"), a copy of which is on file as a public
record with the Beneficiary at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California 92701 and is
incorporated herein by reference. Unless definitions of terms have been expressly set out at
length herein, each term shall have the same definition as set forth in the Agreement. Trustor
and Beneficiary further covenant and agree as follows:
1. Acceleration of Payment. The whole of the Note Amount and all other
payments due hereunder and under the Agreement shall become due and be immediately payable
to the Beneficiary by the Trustor upon the occurrence of any one of the following events of
acceleration:
(a) the sale or transfer of the Property (or any part thereof) by any means,
including, without limitation, the lease, exchange or other disposition of the Property or any
interest therein, whether voluntary or involuntary, except (A) a sale of the Property to a qualified
Low Income Household at an Affordable Housing Cost with the Beneficiary's prior written
approval accomplished in strict conformity with Section 4 of the Agreement, or (B) the transfer
of the Property solely as a result of the marriage, divorce, incompetence or death of one or more
individuals constituting the Trustor, so long as the transferee(s) give written notice supported by
reasonable evidence of such event to the Beneficiary within thirty (30) days of its occurrence and
the transferee(s) assume(s) the Trustor's obligations under the Agreement, by execution of an
assignment and assumption agreement to be provided by the Beneficiary, or (C) a sale or transfer
which under federal law would not, by itself, permit the Beneficiary to exercise a due on sale or
due on encumbrance clause;
(b) the Trustor refinances any purchase money lien or encumbrance to which
the Authority Deed of Trust is subordinate (each such lien, a "First Lien") for a loan amount in
excess of the then current loan balance secured by such lien or encumbrance and loan closing
costs; and/or
(c) the Trustor fails to own and occupy the Property as their principal
residence pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement or is in Ownership Default as defined in
Section 18 of the Agreement.
At the request of the Trustor, and for a specific occasion, the Beneficiary may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, in writing waive the requirements of these subparagraphs. Any
waiver or deferment shall be on a case by case basis, and no future rights for waiver or deferment
shall arise or be implied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustor may, upon prior written
approval by the Beneficiary, refinance any First Lien for a loan amount equal to or less than the
then current loan balance secured by such First Lien.
2. Reserved.
Exhibit C
EXHIBIT 3
3. Sale to Low Income Household. During the Affordability Period, the Note
Amount will not become due and payable, if Trustor sells or otherwise conveys the Property to a
Low Income Household at an Affordable Sales Price (an "Eligible Household"), and the
purchaser assumes the Note and the Agreement by an assignment and assumption agreement
which is reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary.
For the purposes of this Authority Deed of Trust, the Note, and the Agreement, "Low
Income" and "Low Income Households" means low income households as defined in Health &
Safety Code Section 50079.5.
3.1 Affordable Sales Price and Affordable Housing Cost — Low Income
Household.
"Affordable Housing Cost" shall be as defined in Health & Safety Code Section 50052.5
(or its successor statute) and the implementing regulations thereto promulgated by the Housing
and Community Development Department of the State of California.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, if the Property is sold during the
Affordability Period by the Trustor to a Low Income Household and the Affordable Sales Price
does not exceed an "Affordable Housing Cost" to such Buyer, then so long as the Trustor is not
in default (either Ownership Default or Maintenance Default) of the Agreement, this Note may
be assumed by the eligible Buyer by an assignment and assumption agreement which is
reasonably acceptable to the Beneficiary. Upon the effective date of such assignment and
assumption, the assigning Trustor shall no longer be liable for any further obligations under the
Agreement, the Note or the City Deed of Trust that accrue after the date of such assignment and
assumption. In order to verify the Buyer's status as a Low Income Household, the Trustor shall
submit to the Beneficiary the identity of the proposed Buyer and adequate information
evidencing the income and household size of the proposed Buyer. Said income information shall
be submitted together with the notice of proposed sale pursuant the Agreement not less than
thirty (30) days prior to opening of escrow for the proposed sale and shall include original or true
copies of pay stubs, income tax records or other financial documents in order that the Holder
may determine and verify the household income of the proposed Buyer to determine whether the
Buyer is a Low Income Household, and whether the Property is being transferred to such Buyer
at an Affordable Housing Cost. If the Holder is unable to verify the Buyer's income as provided
herein prior to the proposed sale, then the Buyer's income shall be deemed to exceed the
maximum allowable income limit for Eligible Persons and Families.
4. Subordination. Except as provided otherwise herein, the provisions of the
Agreement, the Notice of Affordability Restrictions, this Rider and Deed of Trust, and the
Affordable Housing Resale Restriction, and the obligations therein, shall be subordinate only to
the First Lien on the Property held by the Lender and, if applicable, other loan(s) as approved by
the Executive Director, including lien instruments that secure other homebuyer purchase money
and/or downpayment assistance, including without limitation City, State of California, or federal
affordable housing programs, which liens shall not impair the rights of Lender, or Lender's
assignee or successor in interest or the City, if applicable, to exercise their remedies under the
First Lien in the event of default under the First Lien by the Homebuyer. Such remedies under
the First Lien include the right of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of
Exhibit C
EXHIBIT 3
foreclosure. If title to the Property is transferred by foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or assignment of the First Lien to the Secretary of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, this Agreement and the Authority Deed of Trust shall be automatically
terminated and shall have no further effect as to the Property or any transferee thereafter.
However, in no event shall this Agreement, the Deed of Trust, and the Affordable Housing
Resale Restriction, be subordinate to any First Lien on the Property securing a loan with
provisions which allow negative amortization, or to refinancing of the lien of the First Lien for a
loan amount in excess of the sum of the then current loan balance secured by the First Lien and
loan closing costs.
Trustor agrees it shall instruct the Escrow Agent for the acquisition of the
Property by Trustor that the order of recording in the escrow for the purchase of the Property by
Trustor shall occur as follows: (1) the Grant Deed, (2) the First Lien; (3) other affordable
housing loan(s), if applicable; (4) the Affordable Housing Resale Restriction; (5) the Notice of
Affordability Restrictions and (6) the Deed of Trust. City shall cause a Request for Notice of
Default to be recorded on the Property subsequent to the recordation of the First Lien deed of
trust or mortgage requesting a statutory notice of default as set forth in the California Civil Code
Section 2924b, and shall cause a request for Notice of Delinquency to be recorded on the
Property subsequent to the recordation of the First Lien deed of trust or mortgage.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has executed this Rider to Deed of Trust as of the
date set forth below.

Exhibit D
EXHIBIT 3
(a) the sale or transfer of the Property (or any part thereof) by any means,

interest therein, whether voluntary or involuntary, except (i) a sale of the Property to a qualified
Low Income Household at an Affordable Housing Cost with the City's prior written approval
accomplished in strict conformity with [Section 4] of the Agreement, or (ii) the transfer of the
Property solely as a result of the marriage, divorce, incompetence or death of one or more
individuals constituting the Homebuyer, so long as the transferee(s) give written notice
supported by reasonable evidence of such event to the Authority within thirty (30) days of its
occurrence and the transferee(s) assume(s) the Homebuyer's obligations under the Agreement,
by execution of an assignment and assumption agreement to be provided by the Authority, or
(iii) a sale or transfer which under federal law would not, by itself, permit the City to exercise a
due on sale or due on encumbrance clause;
(b) the Maker refinances any purchase money lien or encumbrance to which
the City Deed of Trust is subordinate (each such lien, a "First Lien") for a loan amount in excess
of the then current loan balance secured by such lien or encumbrance and loan closing costs;

7. Reserved.
8. Right of First Refusal. Homebuyer shall notify the Holder of any desire to sell
the Property immediately. Homebuyer shall also immediately notify Developer (Habitat for

between Homebuyer and Developer provide Developer an option and the right of first refusal to
purchase the Property.
9. Sale to Low Income Household at Affordable Housing Cost. During the
Affordability Period, the Note will not become due and payable in connection with such sale, if
the Maker sells or otherwise conveys the Property to an Eligible Household, and the purchaser
assumes this Note and the Agreement by an assignment and assumption agreement which is
reasonably acceptable to the Holder.

2
Exhibit D
EXHIBIT 3
all successors thereto during the Affordability Period) shall be as defined in Health & Safety
Code Section 50079.5 (or its successor statute) and the implementing regulations thereto
promulgated by the Housing and Community Development Department of the State of
California; provided, however, that the term Affordable Housing Cost shall include Monthly
Housing Cost as defined in Section 6924 of Title 25 of the Regulations.

assumed by the Eligible Household by an assignment and assumption agreement which is
reasonably acceptable to the Holder. Upon the effective date of such assignment and
assumption, the assigning Maker shall no longer be liable for any further obligations under the
Agreement or this Note that accrue after the date of such assignment and assumption. In order to
verify the Buyer's status as a Low Income Household, the Maker shall submit to the Holder the

household income of the proposed Buyer to determine whether the Buyer is a Low Income
Household, and whether the Property is being transferred to such Buyer at an Affordable

the proposed sale, then the Buyer's income shall be deemed to exceed the maximum allowable
income limit for an Eligible Household.

12. Holder May Assign. The Holder may, at its option, assign its right to receive
payment under this Note without necessity of obtaining the consent of the Maker.

any portion of this Note, the Note Amount and/or the Agreement without the prior express
written consent of the Holder, as provided in Section 9.
14. Joint and Several. The undersigned, if more than one, shall be jointly and
severally liable hereunder.

Note.
16. Amendments. This Note may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing expressing such intention executed by the parties sought to be bound

have not been paid (known as "notice of dishonor"), and (c) obtain an official certification of
nonpayment (known as "protest").
18. Notice. Any notice that must be given to the Maker under this Note shall be
given by personal delivery or by mailing it by certified mail addressed to the Maker at the
Property address above or such other address, as Maker shall direct from time to time in writing.
Failure or delay in giving any notice required hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any
default or late payment, nor shall it change the time for any default or payment. Any notice to
the Holder shall be given by certified mail at the address stated above.
19. Successors Bound. This Note shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, successors and assigns.
20. Effect of Foreclosure. If title to the Property is transferred by foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or assignment of the First Lien to the Secretary of the

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA APPROVING DENISTY BONUS AGREEMENT
APPLICATION NO. 2024-01 AS CONDITIONED FOR A NEW
FOR -SALE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH SIX UNITS
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1921 W.
WASHINGTON AVENUE (APN: 405-101-37).
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (Applicant & Property Owner) is
requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) Application No.
2024-01 to facilitate the construction of a for -sale residential development
(Project), consisting of six (6) units proposed as affordable to lower -income
households earning less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI)
for the property located at 1921 W. Washington Avenue (Project Site).
B. Applicant requests approval of this DBA under California Government Code
§ 65915 (the "Density Bonus Law") because the Project will operate as a
common interest development and consists of 100% affordable for -sale
units to lower -income households.
C. Pursuant to Section 4100 of the California Civil Code, the Project meets the
definition of a Common Interest Development, which includes a
condominium project, as further defined in Section 4125 of the California
Civil Code. Therefore, the project qualifies as a Housing Development, as
defined in the California Government Code Section 65915 (i), and is eligible
for a density bonus.
D. As part of the overall process, the City and Applicant have entered into a
Conditional Grant Agreement, pursuant to which, City agreed to provide a
grant (the "Inclusionary Grant") in an amount up to Two Million Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000) to the Applicant for a residential
homeownership project that involves construction of six (6) affordable
housing units restricted for sale to low income households.
E. As a condition of receiving the Inclusionary Grant, the Applicant agrees that
a Regulatory Agreement Imposing Affordable Housing Covenants and
Restrictions ("Density Bonus Agreement") shall be recorded against the
Project Site prior to disbursement of any portion of the Inclusionary Grant
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Page 1 of 12
EXHIBIT 4
and that the Project Site and Project shall be subject to the covenants and
restrictions set forth in the Density Bonus Agreement.
F. The total affordability term in the Density Bonus Agreement states that each
affordable unit shall be restricted for sale to an eligible household for a total
period of no less than forty-five (45) years. To maintain this project as a for
sale project, the Applicant also requested and received approval of TTM
No. 2023-05, for condominium purposes, ensuring that the project qualifies
as a Housing Development, and the Project meets the definition of a
Common Interest Development.
G. The Project entails, among other improvements; (1) development of the
Project Site with three duplex buildings with six (6) for -sale housing units
proposed as affordable to lower -income households, 10,882 square -feet of
total new floor area, and 15 onsite parking spaces; and (2) approval of
Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) Application No. 2024-01.
H. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in base
density for providing on -site housing units in exchange for providing affordable
units on site. To help make constructing on -site affordable units feasible, the
law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers that would
help the project be built without significant burden and without detriment to
public health.
The Applicant's request has been thoroughly evaluated by the City's
Development Review Committee (DRC) through Development Project No.
2023-12. Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site,
proposed development, and the Applicant's requests for
incentives/concessions and waivers pursuant to the State's Density Bonus
Law.
J. The Project is entitled to a density bonus that will allow six (6) total
residential units, developed as three (3) duplex buildings, based upon the
restrictions set forth in the DBA to restrict the sale of the units to households
that qualify as low income. Pursuant to the California Density Bonus law, a
project's affordability level is determined by dividing the number of proposed
affordable units by the allowable "base" density (i.e., 7 du/ac). Moreover,
the law states that units added by a density bonus are excluded from the
calculations. The base density for the 0.37-acre site at 7 du/ac is 3 units. All
six units of the project are proposed to be affordable to low income
households. Therefore, the project would have a 100-percent affordability
rate. As such, State density bonus law allows the developer to request a
density bonus of 80 percent.
K. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an
application for a density bonus agreement containing deviations
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Page 2 of 12
EXHIBIT 4
(incentives/concessions and/or waivers) to be approved by the Planning
Commission.
L. On June 10, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held
a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony,
written and oral and unanimously (5-0-0-2, with Commissioners Ramos and
Oliva absent) recommended that the City Council approve Density Bonus
Agreement No. 2024-01 as conditioned. As part of its actions, the Planning
Commission also voted unanimously (5-0-0-2, with Commissioners Ramos
and Oliva absent) to approve Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 2023-05 as
conditioned.
M. On July 16, 2024, at a regularly scheduled public meeting, the City Council
of the City of Santa Ana considered Density Bonus Agreement (DBA)
Application No. 2024-01 and at that time considered all comments,
written, and oral.
N. The City Council hereby determines that the following findings, which must
be established in order to grant this Density Bonus Agreement application
pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1607, have been established for Density
Bonus Agreement No. 2024-01 to allow construction of the proposed
project:
1. That the proposed development will materially assist in
accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities
in economically balanced communities throughout the city.
The proposed development will provide six (6) residential for -
sale units, all units are designated for lower -income
households, contributing toward the City's housing stock to
serve the needs of diverse and underserved populations. The
area in which the project is proposed, the Two -Family
Residential zone within the Artesia Pilar Neighborhood
currently contains a mix of housing stock, including single-
family residential and two to three unit duplexes/triplexes. The
construction of this project will contribute toward an
economically balanced community by providing housing for
different income levels in an area rich with employment
opportunities.
2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the
underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land
use element.
The proposed project is located in the Low Density Residential
(LR-7) land use designation of the General Plan, which allows
for development single-family and two-family dwelling units.
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Page 3 of 12
EXHIBIT 4
The land use designation allows a mix of uses, including
medium and medium -high density apartments, townhomes,
garden- or motor -court homes, and neighborhood- serving
commercial. The project proposes a density of 16.2 dwelling
units per acre, exceeding the General Plan's LR-7 pursuant to
the Density Bonus law, which allows developers to exceed the
density permitted within the General Plan when providing
affordable housing that meets specific conditions.
Moreover, the project is consistent with several goals and
policies in the general plan. Specifically, goals 1, 2, 3, and 4 of
the Land Use Element and goals 1, 2, 3 of the Housing Element.
Goal 1 of the Land Use Element (LU) encourage responsible
growth by providing a land use plan that improves the quality of
life and respects the existing community. Policy 1.1 of the LU
asks that new projects foster compatibility between land uses to
enhance livability and promote healthy life styles. Policy 1.2 and
1.5 of the LU encourage innovative development policies to
expand homeownership opportunities at all income levels and
quality infill residential development that provide a diversity of
housing type for all income levels and age groups. Policy 1.8 of
the LU encourages development tradeoff to ensure that new
development project provide a net community benefit. Goal 2 of
the LU supports the balance of land uses that meet Santa Ana's
diverse needs. Policy 2.4 supports the balance of benefits of
development with fiscal impacts on the city and on quality of life
for the community. Policy 2.6 promotes rehabilitation of
properties and encourages increased levels of capital
investment to create a safe and attractive environment.
Goal 3 of the LU encourages the preservation and
improvement of the character and integrity of the existing
neighborhoods and districts. Policy 3.1 of the LU supports
new development that provides a net community benefit and
contributes to the neighborhood character and identity. Policy
3.2 supports the facilitation of community engagement and
dialogue in policy decisions and outcomes affecting land use
and development, with supplemental opportunities for
proposed planning activities within environmental justice area
boundaries. Policy 3.4 ensures that the scale and massing of
new development is compatible and harmonious with the
surrounding built environment. Policy 3.7 promotes a clean,
safe, and creative environment for Santa Ana's residents,
workers, and visitors.
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Page 4 of 12
EXHIBIT 4
Goal 4 of the LU supports a sustainable Santa Ana through
improvements to the built environment. Policy 4.1 encourages
the promotion of complete neighborhoods by encouraging a
mix of complementary uses, community services, and people
places within a walkable area. Policy 4.2 maintains and
improves the public realm through quality architecture, street
trees, landscaping, and other pedestrian -friendly amenities.
Policy 4.6 supports diverse and innovative housing types that
improve living conditions and promote a healthy environment.
Policy 4.7 Promote mixed -income developments with mixed
housing types to create inclusive communities and
economically diverse neighborhoods. Policy 4.8 supports the
collaboration with property owners, community organizations,
and other local stakeholders to identify opportunities for
additional open space and community services, such as
community gardens and gathering places
Goal 1 of the Housing Element (HE), supports livable and
affordable neighborhoods with healthy and safe housing
conditions, community services, well -maintained
infrastructure, and public facilities that inspire neighborhood
pride and ownership. Policy 1.2 supports projects that
encourage neighborhood involvement and active participating
in neighborhood organizations to help identify needs and
implement programs aimed at beautification, improvement,
and preservation of neighborhoods. To date, the project has
hosted two sunshine meetings with the local neighborhood
and revised the project based on cumulative community
feedback and inspires pride in homeownership due to the
project being for -sale.
Goal 2 of the HE supports fostering inclusive community with
a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living
experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's residents and
workforce of all household types, income levels, and age
groups. Policy 2.5 encourages the facilitation of diverse
housing types, prices, and size of housing. The project
includes duplex units that contain bedroom ratios suitable for
families. Policy 2.6 supports excellence in architectural design
through the use of materials and colors, building treatments,
landscaping, open space, parking, and environmentally
sensitive ("green") building and design practices. The project
includes a high -quality farmhouse architectural design that
incorporates a mix of exterior materials and enhanced
landscaping.
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Page 5 of 12
EXHIBIT 4
Goal 3 of the HE supports the Increase in opportunities for
extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income
individuals and families to find affordable housing, and afford
a greater choice of rental and homeownership opportunities.
Policy 3.2 encourages expanding home homeownership
opportunities for low- and moderate -income residents and
workers in Santa Ana through the provision of financial
assistance, education, and collaborative partnerships.
The project is a 100-percent affordable housing project,
providing six lower income households the opportunity to
obtain homeownership status. Policy 3.5 encourages
collaboration with nonprofit organizations, community land
trusts, developers, and other government agencies to develop
and provide affordable housing for residents. The project
applicant, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, is a non-
profit housing developer and has received pre -commitment
funds from the City of Santa Ana Housing Division in support
of the development of six affordable for -sale units.
3. That the deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for
the Applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the
development pursuant to section 41-1603.
The proposed project requires four deviations through
incentives/concessions: (1) setbacks, (2) front -yard fencing,
(3) building separation, and (4) open space. Moreover, one
(1) waiver is requested in relation to the location of the trash
enclosure. The deviations are described as follows:
Minimum Setback Requirements (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-251 requires a minimum rear setback of 10-
feet if at least 1,200 square -feet of open space is provided,
exclusive of side -yard areas.
As proposed, the project provides a rear setback of 6-feet and
1,204 square feet of open space areas, excluding the side -
yard areas. Strict adherence to this setback requirement
would result in a reduction in the number of units that can be
provided in the overall project, thus reducing the Applicant's
ability to achieving the density bonus to which the Applicant is
entitled under the Density Bonus Law and affecting the
feasibility to construct the project. In order to comply with the
required setback requirement and maintain the current
proposed unit count, the developer would be required to
Resolution No. 2024-XX
Page 6 of 12
EXHIBIT 4
construct additional floor levels, which would exceed the
maximum allowable height as part of the Two -Family
Residential (R-2) zoning district, and would further increase
development costs making the project economically
infeasible. To help alleviate the setback deficiency, the project
proposes a 29'-0 3/4" upper -story setback from the rear of the
property to control the mass and bulk of the structure towards
the rear.
Front -yard Fence Height Restriction (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-610 (a)(1) requires that fencing within the
Front -yard area (defined in SAMC Section 41-172 as the yard
extending across the full width of the lot, the depth of which is
the distance between the front lot line and the main wall of the
building.) be a maximum of three feet in height on frontages
that abut a non -arterial street as designed in the Mobility
Element of the General Plan.
Maintaining the height restriction would result in reduction in
private open space for Unit 1 and trigger non-compliance of
SAMC Section 41-622.5 in which no mechanical equipment,
such as an AC condenser, may be located between the
building wall and the side property line. In order to maintain
the current proposed unit count, the developer would be
required to fully redesign the site, further increasing
development costs and potentially leading to a loss of
residential units, and a loss of further private open space. To
help alleviate this deficiency, the landscape plans provide
enhanced screening proposals which include vertical
landscaping elements to ensure a harmonious transition from
the front-yard's plants/shrubs to the built structure.
Building Separation (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-254 (a) requires a minimum setback of 15
feet between primary structures.
The proposed development is proposing a reduced setback
of 10-feet between the front duplex and the center duplex, and
a 9-foot setback between the center duplex and the rear
duplex. In order to comply with the minimum building setback
requirements, the developer would be required to provide a
full redesign of the site and/or reduce the number of units
provided onsite. This would result in further increasing
development costs and may result in the loss of potential units
onsite.

Open Space Requirement (Incentive/Concession)
SAMC Section 41-255 requires a minimum 100 square feet of
private space to be provided per unit in the form of a private
patio or deck, with minimum dimensions of eight (8) feet.
As proposed, the designated private space for Unit 5 in the
form of a 13' x 7' (91 square foot) balcony is less than 100
square -feet and less than eight (8) feet in minimum
dimensions. Strict adherence to the 100 square foot and eight
(8) foot minimum dimension requirement would structurally
encroach into the required drive -aisle, require a redesign of
the site. This would result in further increasing development
costs and may result in the loss of potential units onsite
Trash Enclosure Location (Waiver)
SAMC Section 41-623 requires that trash and utility areas be
screened from public streets and alleys as well as be
physically integrated into the project.
As proposed, the trash enclosure is located towards the front
of the property. Strict adherence to SAMC 41-623 would
require a full redesign of the site to accommodate for trash
pickup located towards the rear of the property. This would
further increase development cost and may result in the loss
of potential units onsite. To help alleviate this deficiency, the
landscape plans provided propose to screen the trash
enclosure with vertical landscaping elements to ensure the
structure is not visible to the street.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential
Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192
(Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites
that:
1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the
requirement in section15192(b) regarding community -level environmental review,
such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead
agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section
65943 of the Government Code.
2. Meet both of the following size criteria:
A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area.
B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000
square feet.
Resolution No. 2024-XX

EXHIBIT 4
3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location:
A. The project is a residential project on an infill site.
B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop.
4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units:
A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units.
B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may
establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher
density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances:
1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively
presumed to promote higher density infill housing.
2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density
greater than the average density of the residential properties within
1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing
unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise.
5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The
project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very
low income families as set forth in either A or B below:
A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer
provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure
the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at
monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h)
of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code.
1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate
income, or
2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low
income, or
3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low
income.
B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in
subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in -lieu
fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the
development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required
pursuant to subparagraph (A).
The proposed project meets the criteria listed in Section 15195 as the project site is not
more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building
exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half
mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill
housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in for sale housing
units made available to low income families. Specifically, the project would exceed the
minimum affordable requirements outlined in Section 15195, which states that ten -
percent of for sale projects need to be sold to families of moderate income. This project
proposes to sale 100-percent of the units to low income households. Moreover, the
developer has provided sufficient legal commitments to ensure continued availability and
use of housing units for lower income households for a period exceeding 30 years.

In addition, the project is also exempt from further review per Section 15303 (Class 3 —
New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). The Class 3 categorical exemption
consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the
conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. In urbanized areas, this exemption
applies to apartments, duplexes, and similar structures designed for not more than six (6)
dwelling units. Pursuant to the California Public Resources Code, "Urbanized Area"
includes an incorporated city that has a population of at least 100,000 persons. The City
of Santa Ana exceeds the population requirements, and is therefore considered an
urbanized area. Therefore, the proposed project can be exempt pursuant to the Class 3
exemption, as no more than six (6) unit multi -family residential units are proposed. As
such, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-44, will be filed for this
project.
Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized
volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims, demands,
lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether legal,
equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute
resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such
other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively "Actions"), brought
against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments,
agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to modify, set
aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the City and/or
any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or
concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown Act,
California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map
Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local
constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve
the legal counsel providing the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City
for any costs and expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of
the defense. City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall
cooperate with Applicant in the defense of the Action.
