EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Greg Ocasek, representing Warmington Residential California, Inc. ("Applicant"), on
behalf of BDC Santa Ana LLC ("Property Owner"), is requesting approval of Density Bonus
Agreement No. 2026-04 to allow the construction of a for-sale residential development
Density Bonus Agreement No. 2026-04 — SWC Alton & Raitt Residential Development
(2100 West Alton Avenue)

consisting of a thirty-six (36) unit single-family detached subdivision, which includes three
(3) units designated as affordable to very low-income and three (3) units affordable to
moderate-income households at 2100 West Alton Avenue ("Project"). As proposed, the
Project will utilize concessions and waivers or reductions to deviate from development
standards as memorialized by the density bonus agreement pursuant to California
Government Code Sections 65915 through 65918 and Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC)
Sections 41-1600 through 41-1607. Staff recommends approval of the Applicant's request
as the Project is consistent with the intent of the General Plan by facilitating additional
affordable and market-rate ownership housing on a vacant, previously developed site within
an established neighborhood, remains compatible with surrounding residential and
institutional uses, and would not result in adverse environmental or public health impacts.
Planninq Commission Action
On June 22, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the Project and
voted 5:1:1 (Commissioner Benninger voting no; Commissioner Leo absent) to approve
Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 2026-05 and to recommend that the City Council
approve Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) No. 2026-04. Moreover, pursuant to SAMC
Section 41-1607. In accordance with SAMC Section 41-1602(d), the Planning
Commission made the required findings to approve concessions and waivers from the
development standards as part of the density bonus agreement. Following this vote, the
item requires City Council approval of the DBA.

Project Description
The Project site consists of two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 2.48 acres,
located at 2100 West Alton Avenue, at the southwest corner of Alton Avenue and Raitt
Street. The site is relatively flat and currently contains remnants of the former YMCA facility,
including associated structures, paving, a drained pool, and open field areas. The Project
includes construction of 36 three-story single-family detached dwelling units developed as
Density Bonus Agreement No. 2026-04 — SWC Alton & Raitt Residential Development
(2100 West Alton Avenue)
July 7, 2026
Page 3
a small-lot subdivision with attached garages, private and common open space, guest
parking, landscaping, internal circulation, and frontage improvements along Alton Avenue.
Of the total units in the development, six units are proposed to be affordable: three units
reserved for very low-income households earning 30%to 50% of area median income (AMI)
and three units reserved for moderate-income households earning 80% to 120% of AMI,
which is currently set at $84,600 and $163,900, adjusted for a four-person household size,
as published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development(HCD).
Four of the affordable units will be three-bedroom units, while the remaining two will be four-
bedroom units. The proposed units will range in size between 1,859 and 2,189 square feet
and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and common living areas.
The Project site is proposed to be subdivided into 38 lots ranging from approximately 1,450
to 2,058 square feet, which include 36 residential lots, one central common-area lot, and
one lot dedicated to internal access. The community is designed with homes along the
perimeter generally facing inward, with the exception of eight homes fronting Alton Avenue.
The remaining homes are located within the interior of the site and are arranged around a
central common open space, which is encircled by the internal private residential drive. This
internal residential drive is a private road, not a public street, and therefore is not subject to
City development standards for public streets. Vehicular access will be provided from Alton
Avenue via a private road under an easement shared with the adjacent church, connecting
to the Project's internal private residential drive that serves the residential lots. Construction
is planned as a single phase, progressing from demolition to grading, utilities, paving,
vertical construction, and final landscaping.
The single-family homes are offered in two primary floor plans, with minor variations for units
featuring front entries along Alton Avenue instead of the side of the building. Residential
floor areas will range from approximately 1,859 to 2,189 square feet and include two to four
bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms (see Table 2). All homes will feature attached two-car
garages and second-floor balconies oriented toward its private open space. Pursuant to SD-
4 development standards, building heights may reach up to 35 feet; the tallest proposed
residence is approximately 35 feet to the ridgeline.
The two floor plans will be available in Spanish Modern and Contemporary Craftsman
architectural styles, which are distributed throughout the development to provide visual
variety and architectural interest. The Spanish Modern homes will include stucco exteriors
in a neutral color palette, clay S-tile roofing, stucco foam trim, metal railings, and exposed
wood rafters. The Contemporary Craftsman homes will incorporate stucco, board-and-
batten detailing, asphalt shingle roofing,fiber-cement lap siding, exposed eave rafters,wood
railings, decorative shutters, and metal-roof awnings. All homes will use vinyl windows,
metal garage doors, and fiberglass entry doors. Overall, the Project includes durable design
and construction materials intended to ensure it ages well over the life of the buildings.

Four-Bedroom 2,189 s . ft. 14 39%
Total 36 100%
The Project provides 41,189 square feet of open space, representing approximately 39.3%
of the total net buildable site area. Common open space includes a central park, landscaped
frontage areas, and HOA-maintained landscaping. The central park offers approximately
1,200 square feet of common open space and features amenities such as a decorative
trellis, dining table, lounge seating, and a barbecue grill. In addition, 16,510 square feet of
ground-level private open space is distributed throughout the residential lots.
Vehicular access is provided from the easement road off Alton Avenue to the development's
26-foot wide internal private looping drive. The Project provides 89 parking spaces, including
72 garage spaces and 17 guest spaces. Of the 17 guest spaces on site, ten will be located
along the residential private drive and seven angled spaces will be located immediately
outside the Project's perimeter walls within an Orange County Sanitation District easement.
A median and directional markings are proposed in the easement road to ensure right-
in/right-out only movements to and from the community while separating residential traffic
from the adjacent church traffic before exiting back onto Alton Avenue. Pedestrian walkways
are provided to and from the units fronting Alton Avenue. Internally, pedestrian walkways
are limited; where walkways do not extend to all units, pedestrians must use the private
drive to access certain units.
Density Bonus
The California Density Bonus Law allows developers proposing five or more residential units
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 up to five incentives/concessions and an
unlimited number of waivers or reductions in development standards. The
incentives/concessions are generally reductions in site development standards or
modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, and waivers
are essentially variances from development standards (a site or construction condition). The
purpose of the State Density Bonus Law is to encourage the development and availability
of affordable housing. Pursuant to California Government Code sections 65915 (d)(1) and
65915 (e)(1), a local jurisdiction is limited in its ability to deny requested incentives,
concessions, and waivers. The first version of the Density Bonus Law was adopted in 1979
and has since been amended at various times. In early 2017, the law was amended to
restrict the ability of local jurisdictions to require studies to "justify" the density bonus and
requested incentives/waivers and places the onus on local jurisdictions to prove that the
incentives/concessions or waivers are not financially warranted.

(2100 West Alton Avenue)

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 2.48-acre site at 7 du/ac yields 18 units. By setting
aside 16% of base units (three units)for very-low-income households and 16% (three units)
for moderate-income households, the Project qualifies for a combined density bonus: 50%
for very low-income and 50% for moderate-income under Government Code Section
65915 , resulting in a 100% density bonus. Based on the Project's proposed six affordable
units and their rates, the Applicant may request four incentives/concessions, together with
unlimited waivers, pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 et al. (Density Bonuses
and Other Incentives). As such, the maximum unit yield for the 2.48-acre site using the LR-
7 General Plan density and the State density bonus is 36 units (14.52 du/ac), as outlined in
Table 3.

*Affordable unit percentage is calculated excluding units added by a density bonus.
The City has analyzed the Project and has identified several areas of potential impacts;
however, the conditions of approval proposed for the Project are intended to address the
Project's potential impacts.
Under the Density Bonus Law, the developer sought specific concessions and waivers from
certain SD-4 and SAMC standards to facilitate project development. Table 4 outlines the
concession and waivers requested by the Applicant and approved by the Planning
Commission on June 22, 2026.

Onsite Parking
The site is parked in compliance with Government Code Section 65915(p)(1)(B)(C) and
provides 2.47 spaces per unit. The California Density Bonus Law allows 1.5 parking spaces
per three-bedroom units and 2.5 parking spaces per four-bedroom units, inclusive of
handicapped and guest parking as seen in Table 5 below. The Project provides 89 total
parking spaces, or 2.47 spaces per unit, including two covered parking spaces for each
residence and 17 open/guest parking stalls.

Unit Type Required Ratio Units Parking Spaces
Three-Bedroom 1.5 spaces 22 33 spaces required

Total 36 89 spaces provided
The Project is not anticipated to have any parking impacts. However, to proactively
address any neighborhood parking impacts that could result frossm the Project, the
conditions of approval for the VTTM include provisions requiring ongoing parking
management practices, to be incorporated into the final recorded covenants, conditions, and
restrictions (CC&Rs), and applicable throughout the life of the Project, including measures
such as:
• Requiring onsite parking permits (such as stickers or hang-tags) for any parking in
the surface guest parking spaces;
• Policies for maximum time vehicles may be parked in the surface guest spaces;
• Policies for towing unauthorized vehicles; vehicles parked in unauthorized locations,
such as fire lanes; vehicles parking in surface guest parking without a sticker, hang-
tag, or other identifiers; and vehicles parked longer than any maximum guest parking
timeframes allowed; and
• Routine garage inspections to ensure garages are available for vehicle parking.
These operational measures ensure that the Project is compatible with its surroundings
and will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of nearby residents.

Affordable Housinq Opportunity and Creation Ordinance
The Project exceeds the affordable housing goal for the ownership category of the City's
Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO) by providing six for-
sale, very low-income (30-50%) and moderate-income (80-120%) on-site units in place
of two moderate-income households. These factors significantly enhance the opportunity
for income-eligible Santa Ana households to own a home in the City at a lower cost. The
units will be dispersed throughout the community. Four of the affordable units will be
three-bedroom units, while the remaining two will be four-bedroom units. The proposed
units will range in size between 1,859 and 2,189 square feet and will contain full kitchens,
bedrooms, bathrooms, and open/common living areas. The developer's Inclusionary
Housing Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City's Housing Division.

Public Notification and Community Outreach
As the City Council's approval of this agreement does not constitute a public hearing, no
public notification or community outreach is required under applicable state law or local
ordinances prior to Council action. However, staff notes that project notifications were
posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations for the
required Planning Commission public hearing. In addition, staff contacted representatives
of the Metro Classic, Thornton Park, Morning Sunwood, Republic Homes Neighborhood
Associations to ensure they were aware of the project and Planning Commission public
hearing.
In addition to the above noticing, the Project was subject to the City's Sunshine Ordinance
(Ordinance No. NS-3040) requiring two meetings to facilitate early public participation.
The first meeting took place on September 9, 2025, with 28 community members
attending in person and 12 participating remotely. Attendees raised questions regarding
parking, traffic, pedestrian and vehicular access, building design, and environmental
review. The Applicant stated that the Project would provide 82 parking spaces and that
the HOA would require garage spaces to be used for vehicle parking; however, the HOA
would not be able to restrict residents from parking on public streets where permitted. The
Applicant also acknowledged concerns regarding school-related traffic and explained that
the Project would include a new sidewalk connection from Alton Avenue into the site.

The second meeting was held on December 1, 2023, with 33 in-person and 25 remote
attendees. Public feedback focused on parking adequacy, density, and traffic impacts,
alongside questions about affordability, project design, access, security, the entitlement
process, and environmental review. In response, the Applicant presented revised
architectural plans and increased on-site parking by seven spaces. Additional
modifications included updates to the easement road to accommodate the added parking,
as well as the introduction of a new median and directional striping to improve vehicular
circulation. Materials from the two required community meetings and all materials were
published to the Project's webpage on the City's website at: www.santa-ana.org/2100-w-
alton-avenue-residential-development/.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the Project is exempt from further review, pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32) of the
CEQA Guidelines (In-Fill Development Projects), because the Project is consistent with
the applicable General Plan land use designation and applicable General Plan policies,
as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. Moreover, the proposed
development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres; the
Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; approval
of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services. The above-mentioned analysis and use of a Class 32 categorical exemption is
substantiated by the analysis provided and included as part of Exhibit 3 of this report.
Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-67, will
be filed for this Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

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 (incentives/concessions and/or waivers or
reductions) to be approved by the Planning Commission.
D. On June 22, 2026, 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 Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2026-05,
and, based upon the findings required by Government Code Section 65915
and Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-1602(d), four (4) concessions
and four (4) waivers, to be memorialized in Density Bonus Agreement No.
2026-04.
E. The Project provides eighty-nine (89) parking spaces, including seventy-two
(72) enclosed garage spaces and seventeen (17) guest parking spaces,
which exceeds the parking standards permitted pursuant to Government
Code Section 65915(p). The City Council further finds that the Project
includes ongoing parking management measures, to be incorporated into
the recorded Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), including
guest parking permit requirements, parking time limitations, towing
enforcement provisions, and routine garage inspections to ensure garages
remain available for vehicle parking. These measures are intended to
minimize potential neighborhood parking impacts and ensure compatibility
with surrounding residential uses.
F. Pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1602(d), approval of Density Bonus
Agreement No. 2026-03 is within the purview of the City Council.

This Agreement allows for the construction of the proposed Project in
accordance with the provisions of State Density Bonus Law and SAMC
Section 41-1607 and memorializes the affordable housing obligations, the
concessions and waivers approved by the Planning Commission, and other
terms necessary to implement the Project pursuant to State Density Bonus
Law and SAMC Section 41-1607, in accordance with Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 2026-05, as conditioned.
Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
CEQA Guidelines, the Project is exempt from further review, pursuant to Section 15332
(Class 32) of the CEQA Guidelines (In-Fill Development Projects), because the Project is

and shall set forth the affordability covenants applicable to the relevant income-category.
3.5.2 The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions shall include the following
occupancy requirements: The Owner shall occupy and continually use the Affordable Unit as the
Homebuyer's Primary Residence during the Total Affordability Term. On an annual basis, the
City's Program Manager will send the Homebuyer an Occupancy Recertification Form to be filled

occupying the Affordable Unit as their Primary Residence. The Owner will be required to submit
copies of two current utility bills, or other evidence of occupancy that is acceptable to the City, as

3.5.3 The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions shall provide for the terms of
resale and the distribution of proceeds from any sale, as follows:
(a) The Homebuyer shall execute the City Promissory Note evidencing
Homebuyer's agreement to pay the City Equity Share, and record the City Deed of Trust against

the Request for Default, which shall be recorded against each Affordable Unit. In the event a
Homebuyer seeks to Transfer an Affordable Unit during the Affordability Term, the City, in its
sole and absolute discretion,may approve an assignment and assumption agreement for subsequent
sales of the Property to Eligible Households during the Affordability Term. The Affordable
Housing Resale Restrictions shall provide that Affordable Units shall only be Transferred to an
Eligible Household for an Affordable Sales Price during the Affordability Term,and the City Deed
of Trust securing the City Promissory Note shall remain a lien on the Property.
(c) During the Affordability Term, if a Transfer complies with the
requirements of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, then the Homebuyer selling the
Affordable Unit shall be entitled to closing proceeds after payment of a First Lien for the
Affordable Unit, and the City Equity Share shall be an obligation of the new Homebuyer,pursuant
to the City Promissory Note and City Deed of Trust recorded against the Property.
(d) Following the expiration of the Affordability Term for the
Affordable Unit, the City Equity Share shall become due and payable upon a Transfer of the
Property.
(e) The City Equity Share includes an amount equal to the "initial
subsidy" and "proportionate share of appreciation," in accordance with California Government
Code section 65915(c)(2), and shall be determined as follows:
(i) An amount equal to the difference between the fair market
value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the initial purchase and the Affordable Sales Price
(the "Initial Subsidy"),plus
(ii) An amount equal to the product of(1) the appreciation of
the Affordable Unit, as measured by the increase in the fair market value of the Affordable Unit
at the time of the sale to the Homebuyer and the resale of the Affordable Unit, and(2) the
percentage that the Initial Subsidy represented of the fair market value of the Affordable Unit
when it was purchased by the Homebuyer(the "Proportionate Share of Appreciation").
(f) Payment of the City Equity Share is subject to the following: (1)
payment to satisfy a First Lien from a primary lender, as approved by City at the time of the initial
sale, or subsequent approval in the event of a refinance event, and(2) an amount equal to the down
payment and the cost of improvements paid by the Homebuyer. Following payment of the City
Equity Share, the Homebuyer shall receive the remainder of any closing proceeds, less any costs
of closing, including any and all real estate broker commissions.
(g) When the City Equity Share becomes due, the proceeds from the
sale of the Property shall first satisfy a First Lien, and the Homebuyer shall receive proceeds for
the value of any improvements and any down payment actually paid. The City Equity Share shall
be paid prior to disbursement of remaining sales proceeds to the Homebuyer.
3.5.4 In order to assist City with calculation of the City Equity Share, Developer
or a Homebuyer, as applicable, shall provide City with a calculation of the fair market value of
each Affordable Unit at the initial sale which shall be determined as follows:
Page 14
55394.00101\45074647.4
PLANNING COMMISSION DRAFT
(a) For the initial sale, Developer shall propose to the City a fair market
value based on a price per square foot that is based on comparable sales of other units within the
Project.
(b) Except for the initial sales subject to sub-paragraph (a), prior to the
sale of an Affordable Unit, a qualified appraiser shall conduct an appraisal of the Affordable Unit
to determine fair market value without the restrictions of this Agreement. If a seller or prospective
Homebuyer disputes the appraised value,then that party may pay for the costs of a second appraisal
and, if there is still disagreement, the average of the two appraisals shall be used to determine the
fair market value.
(c) The fair market value of the Affordable Unit, as determined in
accordance with the above, shall be provided to the City for approval or disapproval, which City
shall provide within thirty(30) days of receipt of the proposed fair market value. If City does not
provide a written response within such time period, then the proposed fair market value shall be
deemed approved by the City.
3.6 Alternative Compliance. If, for the initial sale of an Affordable Unit, a
Homebuyer has not been identified by the Developer for certification by the City within 90 days
of the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for such unit and good faith marketing efforts by
Developer, as outlined in Section 4.13, Developer shall provide the City written notice that a
Homebuyer has not been identified for the Affordable Unit; the notice to the City shall include a
description of additional plans to market the Affordable Unit subject to City's reasonable review
and approval. If Developer is still unable to identify a Homebuyer within an additional 90 days
following implementation of the additional marketing plan approved by the City, Developer may
sell the Affordable Unit to a qualified nonprofit housing corporation pursuant to, and subject to
the requirements of, the State Density Bonus Law ("Nonprofit Unit"). Prior to entering into an
agreement to Transfer an Affordable Unit pursuant to this section, the Developer shall provide the
City with a proposed equity sharing agreement that complies with the requirements of Government
Code Section 65915(c)(2)(C), and the City shall have not less than thirty(30) days to review. The
Developer shall not enter into an agreement to transfer an Affordable Unit pursuant to this section
unless and until City provides written consent. At close of such a sale,provided that the Developer
has complied with all requirements of the State Density Bonus Law, including but not limited to
recording an equity sharing agreement against the Nonprofit Unit required under Government
Code Section 65915(c)(2)(C), the Nonprofit Unit shall not be subject to any requirement of this
Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate as to and cease to be a burden on or encumbrance
against that Nonprofit Unit. Upon Developer's request in connection with a sale of a Nonprofit
Unit approved by the City, City agrees to provide documentation, in a form subject to City's
reasonable approval, terminating this Agreement as to that Nonprofit Unit at the close of the sale.

effect as modified; and (ii) either there are no known current uncured defaults under this
Agreement or that the responding Party alleges that specified(date and nature) defaults exist. The
statement shall also provide any other reasonable information requested. The failure to timely
deliver this statement shall constitute a conclusive presumption that this Agreement is in full force
and effect without modification, except as may be represented by the requesting Party, and that
there are no uncured defaults in the performance of the requesting Party, except as may be
represented by the requesting Party.
8.22 No Subordination. City's approval of the necessary land use entitlements that
authorize Developer to develop, operate, and maintain the Project was based upon Developer's
obligation to provide the Affordable Units pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law, City Density
Bonus for Affordable Housing, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the duration
of the Term, this Agreement shall have priority over any and all mortgages, deeds of trust, and
other similar forms of secured financing recorded against the Property or any portion thereof,
unless otherwise approved by City in writing. Developer expressly understands and acknowledges
that state law requires preservation of Affordability Covenants in connection with the approval of
this density bonus project.
8.23 Mortg_aj4ee Protections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
elsewhere herein, Developer may obtain financing for the development and construction of the
Project, which financing may be secured by a lien or charge of a mortgage, deed of trust, or other
security interest then of record made in good faith and for value (a"Mort2a-e")without the City's
consent; provided, however, that the Mortgage is subject to and subordinate to this Agreement
unless otherwise approved by the City in writing, in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon the
written request therefore by any holder of a Mortgage (a "Mortgagee"), the City shall provide
such Mortgagee copies of any notice of default or demand to perform provided to Developer under
Page 28
55394.00101\45074647.4
PLANNING COMMISSION DRAFT
this Agreement substantially concurrently with its delivery to Developer and agrees that such
Mortgagee may, but is under no obligation to, cure any such default pursuant to Section 6. In the
event a Mortgage exists for which City has received notice from the Mortgagee pursuant to this
Section, this Agreement shall not be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified in
any manner without the prior written consent of such Mortgagee, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The City's rights pursuant to Section 6 shall be superior to, but
shall not render invalid, any mortgage or deed of trust recorded against the Property or any portion
thereof, including without limitation, any Affordable Unit. Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not diminish or affect the rights of the
California Housing Finance Agency ("Ca1HFA"), HUD, the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"), or the Veterans Administration ("VA") under any mortgage recorded
against the Property in compliance with the Declaration. The City further agrees to execute and
deliver to Mortgagee such further and other documents as Mortgagee may reasonably require to
effect the purpose and intent of this Section.
8.24 Attorneys' Fees and Costs. If either Party to this Agreement commences an
action against the other Party to this Agreement arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, expert
witness fees, costs of investigation, and costs of suit from the losing Party.
8.25 Authority to Execute. The person or persons executing this Agreement on behalf
of each Party warrants and represents that he or she/they have the authority to execute this
Agreement on behalf of his or her/their corporation, partnership or business entity and warrants
and represents that he or she/they has/have the authority to bind the Party to the performance of its
obligations hereunder.

collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such
order as City may determine. City's right to the rents, issues, revenue and profits of the Property

City shall be entitled to collect from the Trustor, or from the proceeds of the sale of the Property,
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided hereunder,including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.
If a non-monetary default is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty
(30) days, the City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may grant the Trustor or the First Mortgage
Lender such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default provided that the Trustor
or the First Mortgage Lender (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently,
continually, and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible.
Notwithstanding the cure periods established in this Section, in no event shall the
City be precluded from sooner exercising any remedies if its security becomes or is about to
become materially jeopardized by any failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within
ninety(90) days after the first notice of default or delinquency is given.
b. Trustor's Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding City's acceleration of the
sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Trustor will have the right to have any proceedings begun by
City to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time prior to five (5) days before sale of the
Property pursuant to the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust or at any time prior to entry
of the judgment enforcing this Deed of Trust if: (a) Trustor pays City all sums which would be
then due under this Deed of Trust and the Note had no acceleration occurred; (b) Trustor pays all
reasonable expenses incurred by City and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of
Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees;
Trustor cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Trustor set
forth in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions and this Deed of Trust; and (d) Trustor takes
such action as City may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, City's
interest in the Property and Trustor's obligation to pay the sums and perform the obligations
secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Trustor,
this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby will remain in full force and effect as if no
acceleration had occurred.
C. Sale. After delivery to Trustee of a Notice of Default and Demand for Sale
and after the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of default and sale as may then
be required by law, and without demand on Trustor, Trustee shall sell the Property at the time and
place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in
lawful money of the United States of America,payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale
of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale and

fixed by the preceding postponement. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee or the City, may
purchase at such sale. Upon such sale by Trustee it shall deliver to such purchaser its deed
conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty expressed or implied. The
recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Upon
sale by Trustee and after deducting all costs, expenses and fees of Trustee, Trustee shall apply the
proceeds of sale to the payment of the indebtedness hereby secured, including without limitation
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, any advances made or costs or expenses paid or incurred

in the Note and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, in such order as the City shall direct;
and then the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
16. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No exercise of any right or remedy by the
City or Trustee hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy herein contained
or provided by law, and no delay or forbearance by the City or Trustee in exercising any such right
or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof in any
continued or subsequent default hereunder.All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct
and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or any other document, or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively. No

indebtedness hereby secured shall operate to release, discharge, waive, modify, change or affect
the liability of Trustor either in whole or in part.

and appointed officers, officials, employees, and agents harmless from all losses, damages,

to reconvey the Security and will surrender this Deed of Trust and the Note to Trustee. The Trustee
shall reconvey the Security without warranty and without charge to the person or persons legally
entitled thereto. Such person or persons shall pay all costs of recordation, if any. The recitals in
the reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.

time to time, by written instrument, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee pursuant
to a written instrument executed by City and duly acknowledged and recorded in the Official

NOTICE OF AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
This Notice of Affordability Restrictions on Transfer of Property (or "Notice of
Affordability Restrictions") is executed and recorded pursuant to the Density Bonus Housing
Agreement With Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (the "Density Bonus
Agreement"),recorded on or about , 2026, in the Official Records of Orange County,

Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, Equity Sharing, and Regulatory Agreement, dated
concurrently herewith ("Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions").
1. The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions provides for affordability restrictions
and restrictions on the transfer of the Property, as more particularly set forth in the Affordable
Housing Resale Restrictions. A copy of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions is on file with
City as a public record and is deemed incorporated herein. Reference is made to the Affordable

and all defined terms therein, which provides for affordability restrictions and restrictions on the

2. The Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions contains restrictions on the sale of the
Property and an equity sharing agreement for Homebuyer to pay to the City certain proceeds from
the sale of the Property upon the expiration of the Affordability Term for the Property.
(A) For a period commencing upon the date on which the Property receives a
Certificate of Occupancy, which occurred on [DATE], and terminating on the date that is
ten (10) years later (the "Affordability Term"), the Property may only be transferred to
another eligible, qualified [Moderate Income Household] [Low Income Household], at an
Affordable Sales Price; such restrictions are set forth at greater length in the Density Bonus
Agreement and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions.
(B) Upon expiration of the Affordability Term, the City is entitled to an
amount of the proceeds from any Transfer that is equal to the City Equity Share, which is
secured by the City Deed of Trust. The City Equity Share is based on the following: (i) an
amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the
time of the initial purchase and the Affordable Sales Price (the "Initial Subsidy"), plus (ii)
an amount equal to the product of(1)the appreciation of the Affordable Unit, as measured
by the increase in the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the sale to the
Homebuyer and the resale of the Affordable Unit, and (2) the percentage that the initial
subsidy represented of the fair market value of the Affordable Unit when it was purchased
by the Homebuyer (the "Proportionate Share of Appreciation"). The City Deed of Trust
will not be released as an interest in the Property or otherwise reconveyed unless and until
the City is paid the City Equity Share in accordance with the Affordable Housing Resale
Restrictions.

proposed Transferee each shall certify in writing, in a form acceptable to City, that the Transfer

provision that in the event a Transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Agreement 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

AFFORDABLE SALES PRICE
Income criteria used to determine affordable sales price and affordable housing cost are based on
standards imposed by the Ordinance and California Health and Safety Code Sections 50093 and
50052.5.
Certain assumptions are used in calculating both the Affordable housing cost and the Affordable
Sales Price for the Affordable Units in this Project.
Affordable housing costs include reasonable costs associated with owning a housing unit. These
include:
• Principal and interest payments for the Affordable Unit with a 10% down payment
• Private mortgage insurance (if applicable)
• Property taxes and assessments
• Homeowner's insurance
• A reasonable allowance for utilities
• A reasonable allowance for unit maintenance; and
• Homeowners Association maintenance dues (HOA)
The maximum Affordable Sales Price for an Affordable Unit is the total sales price a typical
Moderate Income Household (up to 120% of median income), adjusted for the household size
appropriate for the unit size,can afford to pay for housing.Accordingly,the Affordable Sales Price
for the Affordable Units in this Project will be as set forth below unless the Household income of
the Moderate Income Household exceeds 110% of Area Median Income adjusted for household
size, in which case the Affordable Sales Price shall be recalculated in accordance with California
Health and Safety Code ("HSC") Section 50052.5 and the actual income of the Homebuyer to
calculate the Affordable Sales Price for that Homebuyer. Affordable Sales Price shall be
recalculated quarterly and upon annual release of AMI for Orange County by HCD,in accordance
with HSC Section 50052.5. Further, the calculation of the Affordable Sales Price will be based on
actual unrestricted rate price estimates, the percentage of income allocated to housing pursuant to
Health and Safety Code § 50052.5, actual homeowner's association dues, utility costs (based on
similar projects)and a commercially reasonable interest rate at the time the Homebuyer enters into
a Residential Purchase Agreement with Developer, or its successor in interest. In the event that the
actual interest rate available for the Supportable Mortgage is less than the interest rate set forth
herein, Developer may elect to recalculate Affordable Sales Price based on actual interest rate.
The sale price below is based on a target income level established by Health and Safety Code
Section 50052.5,not the income of the actual Homebuyer,except in the case of Homebuyers whose
income exceeds 110% of area median income. The household size adjustment that is used in
determining the income limit for the purpose of setting the maximum Affordable Sales Price is
based on the number of bedrooms in the unit, not the size of the specific Homebuyer's household.
These criteria are based on the California Health and Safety Code and allow the Affordable Sales
Price to be set in advance of identifying a specific buyer. The Affordable Sales Price for each

Affordable Unit is determined by using three-bedroom unit and presumed household size of four
and by using four-bedroom unit and presumed household size of five.
