DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 2020 EAST FIRST STREET
(APN: 402-191-03)
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. Louisa Feletto, with MLC Holdings, Inc.IMeritage Homes ("Applicant"),
representing property owner Paul Miszkowicz with 2020 E First, LLC ("Property

2025-01) to facilitate the construction of a multi-family residential development,
including eighty townhome units and six duplexes (eighty-six total units), for the
property located at 2020 East First Street("Project").
B. The California Density Bonus law generally 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 also generally allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or
waivers of, or reductions in, development standards.
C. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an
application for a deviation (in centiveslcon cession s and/or waivers or reductions)
to be approved by the Planning Commission.
D. On March 24, 2025, 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 approved, based on findings, the application for one (1) deviation (a
concession), to be memorialized in Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-01, as well
as Site Plan Review No. 2025-01 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map. No. 2025-01.
E. On April 15, 2025, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a regular
meeting and considered approval of Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-01.
F. The City Council hereby approves Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-01.

No. 2025-01, as conditioned.
Resolution No.2025-012

Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and
CEQA Guidelines, the proposed Project is exempt from further environmental review
under Section 15168 (Program EIR). This exemption applies when a previously certified
Program Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) has adequately analyzed the
environmental effects of an activity, and no new significant impacts would result from the
proposed project. If the proposed Project remains within the scope of the Program EIR
and does not require a subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR), no additional
environmental documentation is required.
A CEQA Section 15168 Consistency Memorandum was prepared by First Carbon
Solutions, the applicant's environmental consultant. The purpose of the memorandum
was to determine whether the proposed project was exempt from further review, pursuant
to the relevant 2007 MEMU Program EIR, certified in 2007, and the MEMU Subsequent
EIR, certified in 2018. This memorandum was reviewed by City staff and City's
environmental consultant, Ardurra Consulting. Upon review, it was determined that the
Project does not introduce new or more severe environmental effects beyond those
previously identified. Additionally, there are no substantial changes in environmental
circumstances that would necessitate further review. Moreover, as required under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15168(c)(3), all applicable mitigation measures from the MEMU EIR
and SEIR will be incorporated into the project. Based on this analysis, the project qualifies
for an exemption under CEQA, and no further environmental documentation is necessary.
Therefore, Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-53, will be filed for the
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.
