PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
At its regular meeting on January 22, 2018, the Planning Commission by a vote of 4:1 (Alderete
opposed, McLoughlin abstained, Nguyen absent), adopted a resolution approving Tentative Tract
Map No. 2017-03 as conditioned to allow the subdivision of several parcels of land into 124 lots
for single-family residential, condominium and open space purposes at 905 East Second Street;
910, 927, 928 and 1000 East Third Street; and 1026 East Fourth Street located in the Specific
Development No. 84 (SD-84/Transit Zoning Code) Heavy Industrial/Overlay Zone (OZ -M2) land
use district. The Planning Commission added two conditions of approval that require the
applicant to investigate the potential of creating a permit parking district within the project
boundaries and to explore the feasibility of installing speed bumps/traffic calming measures on
Standard Avenue (Exhibit A).
DISCUSSION
Brian Hendricks, on behalf of property owner KC Heidler, is proposing to relocate the Tom's
Trucks sales and repair center from the subject parcels and construct a new residential
community on the Tom's Truck campus. Specifically, the applicant is proposing to construct 84
single-family residences on the both sides of East Third Street (between Garfield Street and
Standard Avenue) and 33 attached townhome units on the east side of Standard Avenue. The
single-family units will be three stories in height, range in size from 1,865 square feet to 2,305
square feet, and will contain four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and a two -car garage.
Each unit will also contain private open space in the form of a balcony on the second floor and a

roof deck. The townhome units will also be three stories in height and will range in size from
1,363 square feet to 1,836 square feet. Three different floor plans will be provided, consisting of
two, three and four-bedroom units with two and a half or three and a half bathrooms. Each unit
will also have a two -car garage, with Options Two and Three containing private balconies.
The architectural style of the single-family and townhome residences has been designed to be
contemporary in nature, embracing the industrial character of the subject sites and surrounding
area. Materials proposed for the residences include horizontal and vertical wood paneling,
stucco, corrugated metal, metal and glass cable railings, and vinyl windows. Amenities include a
pedestrian and bike paseo running in a north -south direction as well as two 6,800 -square foot
public parks.
The project is expected to generate new property tax revenue to the City with the conversion of a
truck service center and vacant land into a residential development. It is estimated that property
tax revenue of approximately $585,000 will be generated annually from this project.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development,
Objective #2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private
development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING VARIANCE NO.
2017-09 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN
REQUIRED PARKING FOR THE TOM'S TRUCKS
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO BE LOCATED AT 905
EAST SECOND STREET; 910, 927, 928 AND 1000 EAST
THIRD STREET; AND 1026 EAST FOURTH STREET
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. The Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2017-09 to allow a
reduction in required parking for a residential development proposed at 905
East Second Street; 910, 927, 928 and 1000 East Third Street; and 1026
East Fourth Street.
B. Pursuant to Section 41-2014(d)(2) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC), a residential property in the Transit Zoning Code/Urban
Neighborhood No. 2 zoning district is required to have a minimum off-
street parking requirement of 2.25 spaces per unit. To meet this
requirement, 263 spaces are required, but 244 are proposed.
C. Variance No. 2017-09 came before the Planning Commission of the City
of Santa Ana on January 22, 2018 for a duly noticed public hearing to
reduce the required parking for the development to be located at 905 East
Second Street; 910, 927, 928 and 1000 East Third Street; and 1026 East
Fourth Street.
D. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. 2017-09 the
following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana
Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from the
provision of the Santa Ana Municipal Code have been established:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings,
the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the
subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent
and purpose of the provisions of this chapter.
EXHIBIT 1
Resolution No. 2018-02
Page 1 of 7
32A-10
The project site contains a special circumstance related to its
location. The proposed development is located between the
core of Downtown Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Regional
Transportation Center (SARTC), locations that encourage
multi -modal transit and minimize the need for a vehicle. The
site is located within the Transit Zoning Code boundaries,
where the intent is to encourage development that situates
commerce, work places, residences and civic buildings within
walking distance of transit. Given the mix of uses in the area,
it is likely that a percentage of the home buyers would work
near their residences, reducing the need for parking. Although
the site is short 13 guest parking spaces, a total of 79 on -
street parking spaces will be provided on Second Street, Third
Street, Garfield Street and Standard Avenue, minimizing the
reduction of the guest parking spaces. Additionally, the
surrounding streets and project will be designed to encourage
non -vehicular options, including the installation of bike lanes
and the inclusion of a pedestrian paseo within the central area
of the project. As a result, the reduction in parking supports
several goals of the Transit Zoning Code and General Plan as
it will promote transit -oriented development and encourages
non -vehicular options.
2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of substantial property rights. The granting of
the variance would allow the property owner the opportunity to
demolish outdated industrial buildings and replace them with
entry-level housing, a product that is in demand in the
immediate area and Santa Ana as a whole.
3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public or surrounding properties as the building and site have
been designed to comply with all applicable development
standards except for the minimum parking standard. Further,
each unit has been provided with a two -car garage, with
limited guest parking also provided on the premises. An
additional 79 guest parking spaces will be provided on the
adjacent local streets, minimizing the loss of required guest
parking spaces. Finally, the proposed buildings will embrace
the industrial history of the area, will blend with the
Resolution No. 2018-02
Page 2 of 7
32A-11
surrounding buildings and will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The proposed project will not adversely affect the general
plan as the proposed residential development is a permitted
use in the Urban Neighborhood land use designation. In
addition, the project is consistent with several goals and
policies of the General Plan, including Goal 2 to promote
land uses which enhance the City's economic and fiscal
viability, Goal 3 to preserve and improve the character and
integrity of existing neighborhoods, and Goal 5 to ensure
that the impacts of development are mitigated.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the
recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15183 as it is subject to a
previously prepared Environmental Impact Report (EIR). As part of the City's permitting
process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with
CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study (ER No.
2016-79).
The proposed project has been reviewed through previously certified Environmental
Impact Report No. 2006-12. The certified Environmental Impact Report identified a
series of impacts resulting from the plan. Several mitigation measures were
incorporated into the Final EIR, with the applicable mitigation measures added to the
conditions of approval for this project. The analysis studies several topics, including
aesthetics, land use, noise, safety, transportation and traffic. Further, the EIR studies
the transition of industrially zoned and/or used land for residential purposes, such as
what is proposed for this project.
A determination has been made that there are no new significant impacts or any project
specific significant effects peculiar to this project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA
Section 15183, no additional environmental review is required as the project is
consistent with the development density established by existing zoning and General
Plan policies for which the EIR was certified. The previously certified Transit Zoning
Code project EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is the appropriate
document for the actions proposed. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental
Review No. 2016-79 will be filed for this project.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING TENTATIVE
TRACT MAP 2017-03, AS CONDITIONED, TO ALLOW THE
SUBDIVISION OF THE TOM'S TRUCKS DEVELOPMENT
SITE INTO 84 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND 33
CONDOMINIUM LOTS AT 905 EAST SECOND STREET;
910, 927, 928 AND 1000 EAST THIRD STREET, AND 1026
EAST FOURTH STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISISON 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 a Tentative Tract Map to allow the
subdivision of an existing parcel into 124 lots (84 fee simple lots, 33
condominium lots and 7 open space lots) at 905 East Second Street; 910,
927, 928 and 1000 East Third Street; and 1026 East Fourth Street.
B. Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 34-127 requires approval of a
Tentative Tract Map by the Planning Commission.
C. On January 22, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-03.
D. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the
following findings, which must be established in order to approve this
Tentative Tract Map pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 34-
127 and the State Subdivision Map Act, have been established for
Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-03:
1. The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and improvements
are consistent with the Urban Neighborhood (UN) designation of the
General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other Elements of the
General Plan.
The proposed subdivision, Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-03
(County Map No. 18032), will be consistent with the General Plan
land use designation and density prescribed and all other elements
of the General Plan. Land Use Element Policy No. 1.4 promotes
the maintenance and fostering of a variety of residential land uses
in the City. Further, Housing Element Policy HE -2.4 encourages
projects that facilitate diverse types, prices and sizes of housing
Resolution No. 2018-01
Page 1 of 8
32A-17
LS 1.22.18
and Policy HE -2.6 supports projects that provide an affordable
component within eligible ownership housing projects.
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 subdivision conforms to the requirements and intent
of the provisions of the State of California Subdivision Map Act.
Further, the map is in keeping with the Site Plan Review
(Development Project No. 2016-6) and Chapter 34 and 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code. Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for the project, which need to be
approved by the City prior to City Council approval of the final map.
3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the
proposed project.
There are no physical constraints on the site that would preclude
development. The proposed site consists of approximately 6.14
acres of land and is physically suitable for the proposed small lot
residential development, where lots will range in size from 2,000
square feet to 2,500 square feet. Access to the site will be from
several streets, including Second Street, Third Street, Garfield Street
and Standard Avenue.
4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
and wildlife or their habitat.
An environmental impact report (EIR) was prepared for the Transit
Zoning Code project in 2010 pursuant to the California Environment
Quality Act. The project site is located in an urbanized area, and
there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the
project site. Therefore, the proposed subdivision will not cause any
substantial 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 proposed subdivision will not have any detrimental effects
upon the general public. The short-term and long-term impacts
identified in the environmental impact report noted that impacts can
and will be mitigated to a level of less than significant through the
adoption and implementation of specific mitigation measures.
Resolution No. 2018-01
Page 2 of 8
32A-18
LS 1.22.18
6. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with
easements necessary for public access through or use of the property within
the proposed project.
The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict
with easements necessary for public access through or use of the
property within the proposed project since there are no public access
easements or any other easements located within this property.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the
recommended action is exempt for further review per Section 15183 as it was subject to
a previously prepared Environmental Impact Report (EIR). As part of the City's
permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with
CEQA, the recommended actions have been reviewed through an Initial Study (ER No.
2016-79).
The proposed project has been reviewed through previously certified Environmental
Impact Report No. 2006-12. The certified EIR identified a series of impacts resulting
from the plan. Several mitigation measures were incorporated into the Final EIR, with
the applicable mitigation measures added to the conditions of approval for this project.
The analysis studies several topics, including aesthetics, land use, noise, safety,
transportation and traffic. Further, the EIR studies the transition of industrially zoned
and/or used land for residential purposes, such as what is proposed for this project.
A determination has been made that there are no new significant impacts or any project
specific significant effects peculiar to this project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA
15183, no additional environmental review is required as the project is consistent with
the development density established by existing zoning and General Plan policies for
which the EIR was certified. The previously certified Transit Zoning Code project EIR
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is the appropriate document for the
actions proposed. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2016-
79 will be filed for this project.
Section 3. The Applicant, by the submittal of a residential development
project, is activating the Urban Neighborhood -2 zoning designation for the site as
identified in the Transit Zoning Code and is relinquishing all rights granted by the
Industrial Overlay (I -OZ) zone designation.
Section 4. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
