Adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No, 2016 -01
At its special meeting on July 20, 2015 by a vote of 3,2 (Mill & Verino opposed; Alderete &
Gartner absent), the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt an
ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2015 -03 to update the existing Housing
Opportunity Ordinance (HOO) requirements for the inclusion of affordable housing in certain
residential development projects. The Planning Commission, with a 3 :2 vote, made no changes
to the modifications outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). Commissioner Mill explained
that the reason for his dissenting vote was the proposed exemption of adaptive reuse projects
from HOO requirements (Section 3 of the proposed draft ordinance). Otherwise, he was
supportive of the rest of the proposed ordinance. Commissioner Verino explained that her
dissenting vote was not because she was not supportive of the ordinance, but because she
would have preferred to continue the item to have time to fully understand all aspects of the
proposed draft ordinance.
DESCRIPTION
Staff recommends the ordinance to be revised as follows:
• Calculate the required inclusionary housing requirement in square feet to allow production of
affordable housing types that are most needed in the community (e.g., family housing vs.
one or two bedroom units);
• Clarify the length of affordability to be 55 years, regardless of whether the units are rental or
ownership units;
• The developer may opt to provide the inolusionary affordable housing as follows:
o 15% if the affordable housing provided is for low- income families;
o 10% if the affordable housing provided is for very low-income families;
7513-1

o 15 %a if the affordable housing provided is for moderate income families. However the
moderate income housing provision is only applicable and allowed when the
application is for a 100% ownership housing project.
Exempt projects approved prior to the date of adoption of the original Housing Opportunities
Ordinance;
• Exempt adaptive reuse of historic structures from the HOO;
• Exempt retrofitting of existing buildings for a new use from the HOO;
Allow for off -site construction of incluslonary housing units at the rate of one square foot of
new housing for each square foot of required inclusionary housing;
• Allow rehabilitation of existing off -site housing to meet inclusionary requirement, provided
c Off -site rehabilitated units are produced at a rate of 1 square foot per each required
square foot of Inolusionary affordable housing within a City - designated "Target Area,"
c Off -site rehabilitated units are produced at a rate of 1,5 square feet of newly
rehabilitated housing per each (1) square foot of required inclusionary affordable
housing when the rehabilitated housing is outside a City - designated "Target Area."
o When a building is acquired by a developer to be rehabilitated to meet the
developer's incluslonary, housing requirement, the developer is 100 %u responsible for
the terms and costs of relocation of existing tenants,
Remove the entire section on "takings determination" from the ordinance, as recent case
law has established that inclusionary housing standards do not constitute a taking.
« Apply inclusionary housing requirements to conversion of apartments to condominiums only
when the density of the building being converted exceeds the densities allowed under the
General Plan and only to the incremental portion of the density that is over the General Plan
prescribed densities on site.
• Remove the in -lieu fee option for applications for projects of 21 or more units. For such
projects, the developer is to produce the inclusionary affordable housing requirement either
on-site or off -site as provided by the ordinance.
• Require all inclusionary affordable units to be produced 100% by the developer with no
subsidy or financial assistance from the City of Santa Ana or the Santa Ana Successor
Agency,
In order to make the production of new affordable housing units on -site or off -site or off -site
rehabilitated units, adopt g2EU= of the incentives, standards and concessions allowed and
prescribed under California State- adopted 8131818. The developer may opt to take
advantage of up to two (2) concessions among the following possible concessions:
c Parking Concession —
tR one (1) onsite parking spaces for each 0 -1 bedroom unit;

Recommend that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance
approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2015 -03.
Request of Applicant
The City of Santa Ana is requesting to update the existing Housing Opportunity Ordinance (HOO)
and Adaptive Reuse Ordinance (ARO) to make it much more predictable for applicants and to
increase affordable housing production in conjunction with new market rate housing development.
Proiect Description
The Housing Element of the General Plan identifies the long range plans for housing throughout the
city. The Housing Opportunity Ordinance was established to implement a component of the Housing
Element by playing an active role in the provision of affordable housing within the City of Santa Ana.
The ordinance update proposes to modify the requirements related to Historic Adaptive
Reuse /retrofitting of existing buildings; revise the "alternatives" to construction of new affordable
housing units on -site; and clarify the options and procedures available to applicants in meeting the
HOO,
Proiect Background
On November 28, 2011, the City Council adopted the Housing Opportunity Ordinance that applied to
proposals for five or more housing units. Residential projects are required to provide fifteen percent
of the total number of units as affordable, whether the project is for sale or rental. The existing
ordinance applies to those developments requesting a zoning amendment from a non - residential to
a residential zone (including City - initiated re- zones), an increase in density, a conversion to the
residential provision of an overlay zone, or conversion of apartments to condominiums.
EXHIBIT A

Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2015 -03
July 20, 2015

On October 27, 2014, the City Council adopted the Adaptive Reuse Ordinance (ARO) to allow the
reuse of vacant and/or obsolete buildings within specific areas of the City. One of the provisions of
the ARO, Section 41 -1652 (d)(1), requires all adaptive reuse projects to comply with the HOO.
Emit Analysis
A review of the contents of the HOO has revealed that certain components of the ordinance prevent
staff from consistent implementation of the ordinance. In reviewing the existing ordinance, staff has
identified a few areas that warrant a revision to the existing Housing Opportunities Ordinance.
Issues to Consider.
In examining the existing ordinance, staff has identified the following items as points of confusion
that may be impediments to new housing production and production of new affordable housing units
in the city:
■ Constraints on Adaptive Reuse of Historic Structures and Retrofitting of Existing
Buildings - This particular issue revolves around the cost of adaptive reuse of historic
buildings (which has the public benefit of preserving historic resources by making them
economically productive) or retrofitting of existing building stock for a new use, typically
switching the use from commercial to residential, thereby minimizing the carbon footprint of
the reuse of the building and eliminating the need to turn such buildings into landfill. In both
categories, the inclusionary housing requirement adds a cost to the developer on the already
high cost of restoration and retrofitting of the existing buildings, which can be costly due to
extensive fire and building safety upgrades necessary.
■ Already Built or Entitled (but not Built) Projects - The existing HOO does not fully
consider the economics of inclusionary housing requirements on entitled or built projects. The
current version of the HOO retroactively applies to projects that were entitled under different
sets of circumstances and conceived under very specific economic assumptions when they
were entitled, The retroactive application of inclusionary housing requirements drastically
changes the economics of the projects from the assumptions that supported the originally
approved projects. An existing project that was entitled or built under a set of economic
assumptions may become economically unviable once the inclusionary requirement has been
added to its costs.
■ Viable Alternatives for On -site Production of Inclusionary Affordable Housing Units —
The current ordinance does not really allow off site production of affordable units as a means
to meet the inclusionary affordable housing standard. Instead, in practice, it allows the
developer to negotiate lower in -lieu fees for up to 100% of the inclusionary requirement. This
particular item works as an impediment to the intent of the Housing Opportunities Ordinance
in two ways: 1) It removes the consistency and predictability that can assure applicants of
the actual cost of their development when formulating their application, and 2) By allowing up
to 100% of the inclusionary requirement to be fulfilled through a negotiated in -lieu fee, it
lessens or eliminates the opportunity to produce affordable housing units at no cost to the
public in conjunction with production of new market rate housing.
75B -6
Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2015 -03
July 20, 2015
Page 3
Calculation of the /n -Lieu Housing Fee — The terms, conditions, and exact cost of in -lieu
housing fee are not clearly spelled out and can change from project to project. In practice,
this has resulted in different projects negotiating different fees, often with no new affordable
housing units produced. In addition, the current HOO does not fully address the fair
inclusionary housing requirement for new projects that have more contemporary products
that do not fully adhere to traditional housing product types (e.g., "micro units," lofts, and
unfinished space). As such, it is not always clear how the developer can best meet their
inclusionary requirements. Further, given the current popularity of studios, one- and two -
bedroom apartments, the product types produced by current development don't always meet
the City's affordable family housing needs.
Proposed Amendments:
Based on the issues identified above and a number of other minor concerns, staff proposes the
ordinance to be revised as follows:
• Calculate the required inclusionary housing requirement in square feet to allow production of
affordable housing types that are most needed in the community (e.g., family housing vs. one or
two bedroom units);
• Clarify the length of affordability to be 55 years, regardless of whether the units are rental or
ownership units;
• The developer may opt to provide the inclusionary affordable housing as follows:
0 15% if the affordable housing provided is for low- income families;
0 10% if the affordable housing provided is for very low - income families;
0 15 % if the affordable housing provided is for moderate income families. However the
moderate income housing provision is only applicable and allowed when the application
is for a 100 %ownership housing project.
• Exempt projects approved prior to the date of adoption of the original Housing Opportunities
Ordinance;
• Exempt adaptive reuse of historic structures from the HOO;
• Exempt retrofitting of existing buildings for a new use from the HOO;
• Allow for off -site construction of inclusionary housing units at the rate of one square foot of new
housing for each square foot of required inclusionary housing;
• Allow rehabilitation of existing off -site housing to meet inclusionary requirement, provided
• Off -site rehabilitated units are produced at a rate of 1 square foot per each required
square foot of inclusionary affordable housing within a City - designated "Target Area."
• Off -site rehabilitated units are produced at a rate of 1,5 square feet of newly rehabilitated
housing per each (1) square foot of required inclusionary affordable housing when the
rehabilitated housing is outside a City - designated ...rarget Area."
• When a building is acquired by a developer to be rehabilitated to meet the developer's
inclusionary housing requirement, the developer is 100% responsible for the terms and
costs of relocation of existing tenants.
• Remove the entire section on "takings determination" from the ordinance, as recent case law
has established that inclusionary housing standards do not constitute a taking.

• Apply inclusionary housing requirements to conversion of apartments to condominiums only
when the density of the building being converted exceeds the densities allowed under the

inclusionary housing in -lieu fee, but for which the housing plans have not been finalized, to pay
the affordable housing in -lieu fee adopted with this ordinance.
• Evaluate the components of this ordinance and provide options for Council consideration in 3
years.
Stakeholder Outreach and Discussion:
To provide input on the proposed amendments to the Housing Opportunity Ordinance, all known
current stakeholders were invited for two consecutive in -depth discussions, one on July 9, 2015 and
a second on July 13, 2015. The stakeholders represented a variety of interests including market
rate and affordable housing developers, affordable housing advocates, and members of the real
estate community. The individuals who were in attendance in at least one of the two discussion
meetings are listed in Exhibit 2.
Public notification included a mailing to interested parties. In addition, a notice was published in the
Orange County Reporter advertising the Planning Commission public hearing.
CEQA Analysis
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from
further review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3), as there is no potential for causing a significant impact
on the environment due to the adoption of the ordinance. Categorical Exemption Environmental
Review No. 2015 -77 will be filed for this project.
Strategic Plan Alignment
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 5 Community Health, Livability,
Engagement and Sustainability, Objective No. 3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support
efforts to preserve and improve livability in Santa Ana neighborhoods).
Conclusion
Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No.
