DISCUSSION
Request of the Applicant
Bill McReynolds of City Ventures, Inc. is requesting approval of a subdivision map to facilitate the
development of a 10-unit residential project located at 806 East Santa Ana Boulevard. Tentative
Tract Map No. 2013-01 (County Map No. 17498) is a subdivision of property for condominium
purposes, thus allowing the sale of residential units.
Property Description
The project site is located at the southeast corner of Santa Ana Boulevard and Garfield Street. The
site is a generally standard in shape, flat parcel with an area of approximately 0.66 acres or 28,749
square feet. The site is vacant, but was previously developed with residences and various
accessory structures that were demolished in 2006. The site is located within the Transit Zoning
Code area (SD-84) with a sub-zone of Urban Neighborhood 2 and has a General Plan Land Use
designation of Urban Neighborhood (UN) that allows residential development. The project site is
surrounded by residential uses to the north, south and west. To the east is a residence and across
a public alley are industrial uses (Exhibits 1 and 2).
Project Description
City Ventures is proposing to construct 10 two-story residential units. Eight of the units will be
contained within two four-unit buildings with a two-unit building towards the rear of the site. The
project has been designed in compliance with the Transit Zoning Code and Citywide Design
Guidelines, all of the units, with the exception of the two-unit building, will be oriented towards the
streets, with the two-unit building having direct pedestrian access to the street through a
landscaped walkway. EXHIBIT A
32A-3
Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01
May 28, 2013
Page 2
Each unit will have three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a powder room, a detached two-car
garage and laundry facilities. Access to the parking will be from an existing public alley to the east
of the property. The unit sizes will vary from 1,362 to 1,614 square feet. Each unit will have its
own private rear yard located between the unit and garage. The project has been designed in a
California Contemporary style that provides exterior finishes including horizontal lap siding, plaster
and metal canopies (Exhibits 3 through 6).
A tract map for condominium purposes is proposed, since the units will be offered for sale.
Common open space, driveways and common landscape will be held in common ownership, under
the administration of a homeowners' association (HOA), while each unit and their corresponding
private open space and garages will be held in individual ownership (Exhibit 7).
Proiect Backcround
The proposed project is part of a larger development known as the Station District, which
encompassed approximately six acres of land previously owned by the Santa Ana Redevelopment
Agency (RDA). The properties were the subject of a disposition and development agreement
approved in June of 2010 between the RDA and a development team which included Related
California, Griffin Realty Corporation, and City Ventures.
The Station District project is comprised of approximately 114 rental units and 24 for sale units.
Related California recently completed construction of the rental component of the project which
includes: Triada Court - a Mission Revival courtyard-style multi-family project with 74 units; Triada
Gardens - a Contemporary Craftsman-style multi-family project with 25 units; and Triada Village - a
collection of 10 historic single-family homes that were retained from the early-1900's neighborhood
and rehabilitated to their former historic character. With the exception of two manager units, 80% of
the units will be available to families meeting the criteria for Very Low income (approximately
$46,500 per year for a family of four), and 20% of the units will be available to families meeting the
criteria for Extremely Low income (approximately $27,900 per year for a family of four). The term of
this affordability requirement is 55 years and the units help to fulfill the City's state-mandated
requirement to provide for affordable housing.
The City Ventures component of the project is comprised of 24 for-sale townhouses of which, five
units will be offered to those meeting the criteria for Moderate income (approximately $ 100,900 per
year for a family of four). These units will also contribute to the City's satisfaction of its affordable
housing requirement.
The Station District project also includes a number of public improvements, such as a new joint-use
community center at Garfield School, neighborhood-serving retail within the Triada Court building,
improvements to sewer and water systems, upgrades to street lighting fixtures and a public art
component.

General Plan and Zoning Analysis
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Urban Neighborhood (UN), which allows for
residential development sites such as this multi-family residential development. Urban
Neighborhoods are primarily residential areas with pedestrian oriented commercial uses, schools
and small parks. The Urban Neighborhood allows for a mix of residential uses and housing types,
such as mid to low rise multiple family, townhouses and single family dwellings; with some
opportunities for live-work, neighborhood serving retail and service, public spaces and use, and other
amenities. Either vertical or horizontal integration of uses is permitted based on zoning standards,
with an emphasis on tying together the uses with pedestrian linkages and street frontages. Street
connectivity is desirable, allowing for a high degree of walkability, transit options, and other forms of
transportation including pedestrian and bicycle travel. The project site is consistent with this General
Plan land use designation. The site is surrounded by residential uses to the north, west and east;
and a school to the south.
Zoning for the site is the Transit Zoning Code, Specific Development District No. 84 (SD-84) with a
sub-zone of Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN2). This zone is applied to primarily residential areas
intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live-work,
neighborhood serving retail, and cafes. Appropriate building types include single dwellings,
duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, courtyard housing, rowhouses, and livework. In some areas,
the more intense, hybrid court building type is allowed where additional intensity is warranted while
maintaining compatibility with neighboring properties. The landscape is appropriate to a
neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips, and shallow-depth landscaped front yards
separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is in garages located away from street frontages.
The Transit Zoning Code (TZC) further identifies development standards including building types,
height, frontage types, building setbacks, open space and parking. The following identifies the
proposed project's compliance with these standards:
TZC Allowed (by right) Project Proposal
Land Use: Multifamily Multifamily
Building Type: Rowhouse Rowhouse
Architectural Type: California Contemporary California Contemporary
Height: U to 3-stories 2-stories

Based on the analysis, the project as proposed would be consistent with the Transit Zoning Code
and the Urban Neighborhood 2 standards.
Subdivision Map Analysis
A tract map for condominium purposes is proposed to create the for-sale townhouses. Santa Ana
Municipal Code Chapter 34 regulates subdivision of land consistent with the State of California's
Subdivision Map Act. A subdivision map request may be granted when it can be shown that the
following can be established:
• That the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and are otherwise consistent with
all other Elements of the General Plan.
• That the proposed project conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision
codes as well as other applicable city ordinances.
• That the project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project.
• That the design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wild life or their habitat.
• That the design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health
problems.
• That the design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed project.
If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the subdivision action. Conversely, the
inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared the
following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In
analyzing the tentative tract map request, staff believes that the following findings of fact warrant
approval of the tentative tract map.
The project will be consistent with the purpose of the general plan Land Use and Housing
Element, as it will further the goals and policies of the plan and not obstruct their attainment. The
project will assist towards addressing several of the Housing Element's Objectives including
initiating development of Agency-owned property with quality affordable sustainable housing and
providing housing that works towards meeting the City's share of the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA). Additionally, the project will further the Land Use Element's Goal 3,
Preserve and improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhood; Policy 3.1, Support
development which provides a positive contribution to neighborhood character and identity;
Policy 3.5, Encourage new development and/or additions to existing development that is
32A-6
Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01
May 28, 2013
Page 5
compatible in scale, and consistent with the architectural style and character of the
neighborhood; and Policy 5.5, Encourage development which is compatible with, and supportive
of surrounding land uses. Further, the project provides infill housing, increases the housing
stock, and preserves the character and integrity of the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
The project is not located within any specific plan area of the city.
The proposed project meets the letter and intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act
and conforms to Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which pertain to the
subdivision, development standards for the site. Additionally, the project will conform to other
applicable codes and city ordinances as identified during the Site Plan Review process (DP No.
2010-11). Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for the project, which
need to be approved by the City prior to the City Council approval of the final map.
The proposed site consists of approximately 28,604 square feet within the Transit Zoning Code
(TZC) (SD-84) and the Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) zoning district. The site's lot frontage,
which is approximately 310 feet, exceeds the minimum required, providing ample street frontage
for the project along Santa Ana Boulevard and Garfield Street. Since the topography of the site
is flat and its geometry is rectangular, the site has been determined to be physically suitable for a
residential development at the proposed density since there are no physical constraints on the
site to preclude development.
• The project site is located in an urbanized area and was previously developed with single-family
dwellings and accessory structures. Environmental Impact Report 2006-02 was adopted for the
TZC in 2010. The EIR analyzed a future build-out scenario for development at the maximum
allowable intensity allowed under the TZC. The proposed project is within the anticipated land
use, as well as, density and intensity outlined in the EIR. Further, the EIR analysis found no
evidence of endangered, rare or threatened species in the area. The project can be
characterized as an infill development adequately served by all required utilities and public
services. There are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the site. Therefore, the
proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat.
• The design or improvements of the proposed development will not cause serious public health
problems. The proposed project will comply with all applicable Title 24, California Building Code,
and all other applicable regulations intended to safeguard the public. As a residential use, there
will be no hazardous material, noxious fumes or vibrations generated by the use.
Approval of the tentative tract map for condominium purposes for this project will not create
conflicts with any easements necessary for the public access through the subject property, as
there are none identified on the most current title report.
32A-7
Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01
May 28, 2013

The subdivision proposed is consistent with the City's General Plan and zoning requirements as well
as other provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act. Conditions of approval are proposed to ensure
orderly development and operation of the site.
Public Notification
The project site is located within the boundaries of the Lacy Neighborhood Association and in close
proximity to the French Park Neighborhood Association. An extensive community outreach effort
was undertaken to obtain input from resident and business stakeholders in the area dating back to
2010. Meetings were held with the Logan neighborhood, French Park neighborhood, Lacy
neighborhood, St. Joseph's Church, Santiago Lofts and with the business community. From that
initial outreach process, a concept plan was developed which was presented to the community at
two general meetings in January 2010 and several smaller meetings. The plan was then refined
based on input received and further design and feasibility studies. In addition to the above outreach
efforts, the presidents of the Lacy and French Park neighborhood associations were also notified by
mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. Further, the site was posted with a notice advertising this
public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent
to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site, as well as concerned citizens listed on the
Permanent Notification List. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or
electronic, had been received from the neighborhood presidents or any members of the public.
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with Section 15177 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is
within the scope of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84)
certified June 7, 2010 (SCH 2006071100) and, as such, does not require additional environmental
review subject to compliance with certain criteria. The following discussion will identify each criteria
and provide the information necessary to find compliance.
Section 15177:
• After a Master EIR has been prepared and certified, subsequent projects which the lead agency
determines as being within the scope of the Master EIR will be subject to only limited
environmental review.
Environmental Impact Report No. 2006-02 (EIR No. 2006-02) was certified for the Transit Zoning
Code in 2010. The proposed residential development project is within the scope of the EIR and
the anticipated development occurring consistent with the Transit Zoning Code.
• Except as provided in subdivision (2) of this subdivision, neither a new environmental document
nor the preparation of findings pursuant to section 15091 shall be required of a subsequent project
when all the following requirements are met:
32A-8
Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01
May 28, 2013
Page 7
o The lead agency for the subsequent project is the lead agency or any responsible agency
identified in the Master EIR.
The City of Santa Ana was identified in EIR No. 2006-02 as the lead agency. The City of
Santa Ana is the lead agency for this environmental review project.
o The lead agency for the subsequent project prepares an initial study on the proposal. The
initial study shall analyze whether the subsequent project was described in the Master EIR and
whether the subsequent project may cause any additional significant effect on the environment
which was not previously examined in the Master EIR.
The City of Santa Ana, as the lead agency, reviewed CEQA Appendix G: Environmental
Checklist Form and finds that the development project as proposed is within the scope of the
Master EIR. Further, that the development project proposed will not cause any additional
significant effect on the environment which was not previously examined. The proposed
project is within the allowable limits outlined within the Master EIR and the Transit Zoning
Code.
o The lead agency for the subsequent project determines, on the basis of written findings, that
no additional significant environmental effect will result from the proposal, no new additional
mitigation measures or alternatives may be required, and that the project is within the scope of
the Master EIR. "Additional significant environmental effect" means any project-specific effect
which was not addressed as a significant effect in the Master EIR.
No additional significant environmental effect will result from the proposed development project
and therefore no additional mitigation measures or alternatives are required. The proposed
development project is within the scope of the Master EIR and the Transit Zoning Code.
• Whether a subsequent project is within the scope of the Master EIR is a question of fact to be
determined by the lead agency based upon a review of the initial study to determine whether there
are additional significant effects or new additional mitigation measures or alternatives required for
the subsequent project that are not already discussed in the Master EIR.
The City of Santa Ana, as the lead agency, has prepared an initial study on the proposal and finds
that the development project as proposed is within the scope of the Master EIR. Further, that the
development project proposed will not cause any additional significant effect on the environment
which was not previously examined. The proposed project is within the allowable limits outlined
within the Master EIR and the Transit Zoning Code.
• Prior to approval of the proposed subsequent project, the lead agency shall incorporate all feasible
mitigation measures or feasible alternatives appropriate to the project as set forth in the Master
EIR and provide notice in the manner required by Section 15087.
32A-9
Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01

Page 8
All feasible mitigation measures have been incorporated including street improvements. Noticing
of the subsequent action has been publicized in a newspaper, posted on the site and direct
mailing notices to the owners and occupants within 500 feet of the subject property.
• When the lead agency approves a project pursuant to this section, the lead agency shall file a
notice in the manner required by Section 15075.
A Notice of Determination as set forth in Section 15075 shall be filed for the project identifying the
aforementioned findings.
A Notice of Determination pursuant to Section 15075 for Environmental Review No. 2013-36 will be
filed for this project.

RESOLUTION NO. 2013-06
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING TENTATIVE
TRACT MAP NO. 2013-01 AS CONDITIONED FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 806 EAST SANTA ANA
BOULEVARD (COUNTY MAP NO. 17498)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Applicant is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01
(County Map No. 17498) to facilitate the development of a 10-unit
residential condominium project located at 806 East Santa Ana Boulevard.
B. Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01 came before the Planning Commission
of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on May 28, 2013.
C. For Tentative Tract Map N. 2013-01, the Planning Commission of the City
of Santa Ana determines that the following findings have been
established:
The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and
improvements are consistent with the Medium Density Residential
designation on the General Plan and are otherwise consistent with
all other elements of the General Plan.
The project will be consistent with the purpose of the general
plan Land Use and Housing Element, as it will further the
goals and policies of the plan and not obstruct their
attainment. The project will assist towards addressing
several of the Housing Element's Objectives including
initiating development of Agency-owned property with quality
affordable sustainable housing and providing housing that
works towards meeting the City's share of the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). Additionally, the
project will further Land Use Element's Goal 3, Preserve and
improve the character and integrity of existing neighborhood;
Policy 3.1, Support development which provides a positive
contribution to neighborhood character and identity; Policy
3.5, Encourage new development and/or additions to
existing development that is compatible in scale, and

consistent with the architectural style and character of the
neighborhood; and Policy 5.5, Encourage development
which is compatible with, and supportive of surrounding land
uses. Further, the project provides infill housing, increases
the housing stock, and preserves the character and integrity
of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The project is
not located within any specific plan area of the city.
2. The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all applicable
requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other
applicable City ordinances.
The proposed project meets the letter and intent of the State
of California Subdivision Map Act and conforms to Chapters
34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which pertain to
the subdivision, development standards for the site.
Additionally, the project will conform to other applicable
codes and city ordinances as identified during the Site Plan
Review process (DP No. 2010-11). Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for the project, which
need to be approved by the City prior to the City Council
approval of the final map.
3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the
proposed project.
The proposed site consists of approximately 28,749 within
the Transit Zoning (SD-84) and the Urban Neighborhood 2
(UN-2) zoning district. The site's lot frontage, which is
approximately 310 feet, exceeds the minimum required,
providing ample street frontage for the project along east
Santa Ana Boulevard and Garfield Street. Since the
topography of the site is flat and its geometry is rectangular,
the site has been determined to be physically suitable for a
residential development at the proposed density since there
are no physical constraints on the site to preclude
development.
4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The project site is located in an urbanized area and was
previously developed with single family dwellings and
accessory structures. The project can be characterized as
an infill development adequately served by all required
utilities and public services. There are no known fish or
wildlife populations existing on the site. Therefore, the
proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial
Resolution No. 2013-06
Page 2 of 6
32A-24
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
fish and wildlife or their habitat.
5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause
serious public health problems.
The design or improvements of the proposed development
will not cause serious public health problems. The proposed
project will comply with all applicable Title 24, California
Building Code, and all other applicable regulations intended
to safeguard the public. As a residential use, there will be no
hazardous material, noxious fumes or vibrations generated
by the use.
6. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict
with the easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed project.
Approval of the tentative tract map for condominium
purposes for this project will not create conflicts with any
easements necessary for the public access through the
subject property, as there are none identified on the most
current title report.
D. In accordance with Section 15177 of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), the project is within the scope of the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) certified June 7, 2010
(SCH 2006071100) and, as such, does not require additional environmental
review subject to compliance with certain criteria. The discussion in the
staff report identifies each criterion and provides the information necessary
to find compliance. Accordingly, a Notice of Determination pursuant to
Section 15075 for Environmental Review No. 2013-36 will be filed for this
project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission, after conducting the public hearing, hereby
approves Tentative Tract Map No. 2013-01 (County Map No. 17498) as conditioned in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein. This decision is based upon the
evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the
