On September 25, 2014, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)

an integral part of or are necessary to facilitate the development of new infill housing for specific
residential or mixed use projects. Each IIG application must be a minimum award of $500,000 in
urban areas and up to a maximum of $4 million.
The Depot at Santiago Housing Project was previously approved by City Council on June 17,
2014 with approval for Site Plan Review No. 2014 -01 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -01. In
May 2013, the City Council approved a loan agreement for the Depot at Santiago Housing
Project with affordable housing restrictions in place for fifty -five 55 years.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #5 (Community Health, Livability, Engagement
& Sustainability), Objective 3 (Facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to
preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods).
