RESOLUTION NO. 2024-___
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 1991-088,
RESOLUTION NO. 93-076 AND RESOLUTION NO. 2000-062
REGARDING PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT PETITONS
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana herby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Pursuant to Article XI (commencing with Section 36-480) of Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana is authorized to adopt resolutions establishing permit parking districts in which parking restrictions apply to all vehicles except those vehicles that have been issued parking permits pursuant to such Article.
B. By Resolution No. 1991-088, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the South Coast Permit Parking District, as shown on Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated by reference; By Resolution No. 2020-021 the City Council amended Resolution No. 1991-088 as shown on Exhibit 2, attached hereto and incorporated by reference; By Resolution No. 93-076, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the Sandpointe Permit Parking District, as shown on Exhibit 3, attached hereto and incorporated by reference; By Resolution No. 2000-062, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the South Metro Permit Parking District, as shown on Exhibit 4, attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
C. The City’s adopted General Plan allows for significant mixed-use redevelopment within the South Bristol Focus Area.
D. City staff has conducted extensive outreach in the neighborhoods in and around the South Bristol Focus Area to solicit resident concerns and feedback regarding the proposed redevelopment in the area.
E. Owners of properties on residential streets within the Parking Districts in and around the South Bristol Focus Area have expressed concerns that proposed development projects near the Parking Districts may impact available parking on their streets and have asked the City to modify procedures to facilitate expanded utilization and participation in the City's permit parking program.
F. The City is in the process of performing a Citywide parking study to in part, evaluate Citywide permit parking program modifications. Completion of this study City Council 26 – 1100 10/1/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XXX
is not anticipated until the Fall of 2025 and will therefore not adequately address the near-term concerns brought forward by the South Bristol Focus Area residents.
G. The City Council finds through extensive environmental review and traffic studies that proposed development projects in the area will not have direct impacts on parking, but none the less, the City Council desires to accommodate present and future requests, related to permit parking in these Parking Districts.
H. The City Council finds that the Resolutions referenced above which created the Parking Districts include different standards to be used for defining a block under the Permit Parking District regulations.
I. The City Council desires to amend the definition of a block.
J. Upon completion of the Citywide parking study, the City Council will consider adopting various recommended parking rules and regulations which may or may not include the amendments considered in this Resolution.
K. The proposed resolution amending Resolution No. 91-088, Resolution No. 93- 076, and Resolution No. 2000-062 amendment to the Residential Permit Parking program supports and is consistent with multiple General Plan goals and policies of the Mobility Element, Land Use Element, and Housing Element. Addressing relevant permit parking programs and parking impacts is identified in multiple General Plan implementation actions of the Mobility Element, Land Use Element, and Housing Element. Exhibit 19 to the City Council staff report dated September 17, 2024 and October 1, 2024 accompanying this Resolution contains a list of all applicable General Plan goals and policies that support this recommended action.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds that the action is not a “project” subject to CEQA and no environmental review is required. Even if the action could be construed as a CEQA “project”, the proposed resolution requires no further environmental review pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Section 15378(b) of the CEQA Guidelines defines a “Project” that is subject to CEQA review as an activity that may result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, stating that “Projects do not include” ongoing “administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies, personnelrelated actions, general policy and procedure making [Section 15378(b)(2)]” and “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment [Section 15378(b)(5)].” The proposed amendment to Resolution No. 1991-088, Resolution No. 93-076, and Resolution No. 2000-062 modifies administration of an existing parking district program by allowing a single permit parking petition to be considered for multiple, contiguous residential blocks City Council 26 – 1101 10/1/2024
Resolution No. 2024-XXX
(rather than a separate permit parking petition for each individual block). Thus, no direct or indirect physical changes in the environment will result and accordingly, the proposed resolution is not a “project” subject to CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(2)-(3).) In the alternative, even if the proposed resolution is a project subject to CEQA, no further environmental review is required. Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines requires subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations, following certification of a previous EIR, only when one of three triggering conditions exists: (1) substantial changes are proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the EIR, (2) substantial changes occur in circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that will require major revisions in the EIR, or (3) new information of substantial importance to the project that was not known and could not have been known when the EIR was certified as complete becomes available, and this condition (1, 2, and/or 3) also would lead to new or more significant impacts. (See also Pub. Resources Code, § 21166.)
In April 2022, the City certified the GPU Final PEIR (SCH No. 2020029087) and adopted the GPU. As previously discussed, the GPU Final PEIR is a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) that examines the existing environment and the total scope of environmental effects that would occur as a result of buildout of the GPU land uses.
The proposed resolution falls within the scope of the General Plan Update evaluated in the PEIR because it implements the goals and policies pertaining to permit parking programs and parking impacts identified in the General Plan Update. The proposed resolution therefore does not trigger any of the conditions identified in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and summarized above. Approval of the proposed resolution will not result in new or more severe impacts requiring additional environmental review of the approval action.
Section 3. Each and every Section of the aforementioned Resolutions pertaining to the definition of a Block shall be amended to provide that: The parking restrictions imposed pursuant to Article XI of Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code shall apply to any block within the Parking Districts and such block may be comprised of contiguous street segments with the Parking District for the purposes of establishing uniform parking restrictions along multiple street segments. Parking restrictions expressly referenced in this Resolution may be imposed only after a petition signed by the owners of sixty-six percent (66%) or more of the residential lots abutting such block have filed a petition with the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency expressing their desire for such parking restrictions.
Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 5. The Mayor shall sign this Resolution, and the City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA, CA
The City of Santa Ana encourages the public to participate in the decision-making process. The following notice is being provided so that you can ask questions, make comments, and stay informed about projects that might be important to you. We encourage you to contact us prior to the Public Hearing if you have any questions.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN - The City Council of the City of Santa Ana will hold a public hearing to receive public testimony and will take action on the item described below.
Project Location: The 41-acre site generally referred to as 3600 South Bristol Street located within the General Commercial (C2) and Commercial Residential (CR) zoning districts Project Applicant: Steven Oh with RCR Bristol LLC (Applicant) on behalf of Greenville Ranch LLC, BSG West Bristol LLC, and MCG Bristol West LLC (Property Owners) Proposed Project: Applicant is requesting approval of various entitlements to facilitate the establishment of a new Specific Plan (SP) and construction of a new, mixed-use urban village. The SP proposes up to 3,750 residential units, 200 units of senior continuum of care living, a 250 room key hotel (approximately 150,000 square feet), 350,000 square feet of commercial space, and approximately 13.1 acres of publicly accessible open space. The entitlements include an amendment (zone change) application (AA No. 2023-03), tentative tract map (TM No. 2023-01), and development agreement (DA No. 2023-02). The requested actions also require an overrule of the John Wayne Airport Land Use Commission’s determination of inconsistency for the project with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan.
Environmental Impact: Pursuant to the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA), the project requires preparation of a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse Number 2020029087) that analyzes the potential impacts of the project and identifies measures to mitigate the environmental effects. The EIR concludes that the proposed project would require mitigation related to Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Transportation, and Tribal Cultural Resources. Impacts related to Air Quality and Recreation would remain significant and unavoidable after mitigation.
Action Taken by the Planning Commission on August 12, 2024: Recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to (1) certify the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) No. 2022-01 (SCH No. 2020029087), including adoption of environmental findings of fact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, (2) adopt of a Statement of Overriding Considerations, (3) adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and (4) approve the Project; Adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2023-03 to establish the Related Bristol Specific Plan No. 5 and to approve a zone change for the Property located at 3600 Bristol Street from General Commercial (C2) and Commercial Residential (CR) to Related Bristol Specific Plan (SP No. 5); Adopt an ordinance approving Development Agreement No. 2023-02; Adopt a resolution approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2023-01 (County Map No. 19272), as conditioned; and Adopt a resolution overruling the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission’s determination that the Related Bristol Specific Plan is inconsistent with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan, including supportive findings VOTE: 7-0 (Ayes: Commissioners Benninger, Escamilla, Leo, Oliva, Pham, Ramos, Woo).

Exhibit 21: City Council Questions to Applicant from September 17, 2024 Hearing
1. Why is only one hotel planned for the project?
Applicant’s Response: Related’s professional assessment of the market is that the Project can only reasonably support one hotel. Our assessment is informed by our company’s extensive experience developing hotels throughout the country, including The Conrad in Los Angeles, which we completed in 2022, comprehensive market data on the South Coast Metro and John Wayne Airport hospitality submarket, input from various hotel operating partners, and the current state of the hospitality industry and capital markets. While we are excited to be pursuing a hotel at Related Bristol, it will be the most ambitious and challenging component of the project to realize. This can be attributed to a combination of factors including: the increasing cost of construction, escalating cost of hotel operations, softening in business travel demand as the economy continues to shift to a hybrid work environment that promotes online versus inperson meetings, and a backdrop of a highly competitive and well supplied hospitality submarket that already has 12,000 hotel rooms. Related is very concerned that the inclusion of a second hotel will render the first hotel financially infeasible as investors and lenders on the first hotel will perceive the second hotel as unacceptable competition that will take business away from the first hotel and jeopardize their investment. The average daily room rate of full-service hotels in this submarket is approximately $220/night whereas new construction would require rates approaching $400/night for feasibility. The addition of a second hotel would only further soften the market and add downward pressure on the rates achievable at the first hotel. Segmentation and differentiation of two hotels on the same property would be difficult to accomplish and we believe the second hotel would cannibalize business from the first hotel.
It is worthwhile noting, however, that Related Bristol’s specific plan does contain flexibility to convert uses that could potentially facilitate a second hotel should the economic fundamentals and market conditions significantly improve. However, our professional assessment is that a second hotel is infeasible for the foreseeable future and should not be included in order to protect the feasibility of the first.
Following receipt of the Applicant’s response, the City has added the following additional information for the City Council’s consideration:
During the Ad Hoc Committee negotiations, Related discussed the challenges associated with developing a financially feasible a hotel at the site as reflect in their response above. The Ad Hoc Committee considered the information and focused on the Applicant committing to pursuing an upscale high-quality hotel that is not currently available in Santa Ana. As reflected in the Development Agreement Section 4.2.4, the Applicant is committing to pursuing and securing a minimum of four-star class hotel. Similar hotels in area with a four-star rating include the Westin South Coast Plaza, Avenue of the Arts, the Hilton Orange County, and the Marriott. Four-star hotels are large, upscale establishments, fully staffed and offer special services and amenities, including concierge City Council 26 – 1138 10/1/2024
Exhibit 21: City Council Questions to Applicant from September 17, 2024 Hearing
services, 24-hour reception, fine dining and onsite restaurants, room service, multiple pools and hot tubs, high-class fitness centers, bellhops, valet parking and transportation, day spas, meeting and conference facilities, business centers, and an array of special suites. The Specific Plan has also been structured with the flexibility of allowing for additional hotels to be constructed on the site without requiring additional analysis subject to approval by the Planning Commission.
2. How many units will be for sale, if any, and why?
Applicant’s response: Related Bristol is situated on land that has been owned since 1903 by one of the original pioneering farming families of Orange County, the Callens Family (“The Family”). Their stake in this community and in this City goes back to the beginnings of the City of Santa Ana and Orange County. The Callens family have been the stewards of the land for over a century, the land is a family heirloom which, they intend to own for perpetuity and do not want to sell any part of the property, whether to Related or to future homeowners.
As such, the Related Bristol project is subject to a 99-year ground lease with The Family. For-sale housing on a ground lease with on-going ground lease payment obligations causes for-sale housing to be financially infeasible. While ground lease for-sale housing has been done on a limited scale in the past, that product and financing was produced decades ago in a different financial market which does not exist today. Financing and investor interest is not available for for-sale housing on a ground lease in this location.
Related Bristol’s ground lease would obligate a home buyer to make annual ground lease payments in addition to their annual cost of home ownership.
Historically, the value of homes on ground leases underperform the market in relation to homes on fee simple land. The value of ground lease homes declines over time as the remaining ground lease term shortens and the home ages, eventually reaching zero at the end of the lease unless extended. These fact patterns significantly diminish the marketability and appeal of such homes given buyers have other choices (i.e., homes on fee simple land), and subsequently, lenders, buyers, and investors elect to not invest. Due to the declining nature of the value of these homes over time, for sale homes on a ground lease are not an effective tool for creating generational wealth.
The City of Santa Ana approved the South Bristol Corridor General Plan Amendment and did not differentiate between for-sale or for-rent residential units.
From a legal perspective, the applicant has presented a General Plan complaint project, which is why a General Plan Amendment is not required to implement the project.
City Council 26 – 1139 10/1/2024
Exhibit 21: City Council Questions to Applicant from September 17, 2024 Hearing
While Related would consider a for-sale component on the project were Related purchasing the project site in fee simple, for the salient reasons described above, Related Bristol has not proposed any for-sale homes at this time.
Following receipt of the Applicant’s response, the City has added the following additional information for the City Council’s consideration: The Ad Hoc Committee discussed the challenges that the project presented because the property will continue to be owned by the underlying owners, not Related.
These challenges impacted negotiations related to the open space, the value of the land and ultimately the amount of the community benefit payment and recordation of the DA against the property.
3. Will the new grocery store be a Vons store or one of similar quality that is associated with union labor?
Applicant’s response: Pursuant to the Development Agreement, Related has committed to include a full-scale grocer of at least 35,000 square feet within the first two phases of the project. Related understands that the full-scale grocer is important to the immediate community and we are committed to including one in the Project. We are prepared and committed to engage with Vons, the existing onsite grocer, to extend their existing lease as soon as the project is approved.
We are grateful that Vons has expressed early interest in the new project and has supported our project in writing and verbally in the past, most recently at the City Council hearing on September 17th.
As construction of the full-scale grocer retail space nears completion, Related will solicit interest from various grocer operators, including the Albertsons Corporation which owns Vons. Related welcomes a Vons, Albertson, Ralphs, or a similar operator, and will solicit their respective interests once there is an actual space and design for them to consider.
While Related welcomes the interest of union grocers, Related, as the Ground Lessor, is not involved nor can we dictate whether or not such grocer operator is union or non-union, or which grocer brand they wish to operate. If the project’s grocer was required to be union, and such a union grocer wasn’t interested or we were unable to reach a mutually agreeable lease, the Project would not be able to fulfill our obligation to the Community to include a full-scale grocer and the Project would risk being in legal default of the Development Agreement. This exact scenario occurred on another project in San Francisco more than twenty years ago and the developer ultimately sued the City and won. We want to structure Related Bristol for success and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. The build-out of this project will occur over a decade and no one can predict what the state of the rapidly-changing grocery landscape will look like when the new store is ready to be occupied.
City Council 26 – 1140 10/1/2024
Exhibit 22: City Council Questions to Staff from September 17, 2024 Hearing
1. How will the truck construction routes be established? Do we know where they will be? Will there be time restrictions on truck travel? How will residents be notified of the restrictions?
The Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP) of the project’s Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) authorizes to the City’s Public Works Agency to define the allowable truck routes for the project. The precise route is generally determined during the implementation phase of development. Responsive to the Council direction and to address public concerns expressed during the public hearing, Staff is recommending that the City Council consider specifying the following restrictions to be added to the draft Specific Plan in Chapter 6.0 – Implementation, as follows:
Trucking and Construction Hauling During Project Construction:
Travel Restrictions: Trucks can only use truck routes designated in the General Plan Mobility Element that are located directly along the project site to travel to and away from the site.
Direct Path Requirement: Trucks must take the shortest and most direct route to and away from the site to nearest freeway on- and off-ramps.
Residential Proximity Limits: Trucks are prohibited from using those routes to travel to and away from the site if there are residential uses fronting the street or are located within 300 feet of the street.
Noise Restrictions: All noise sources associated with construction and truck hauling activities shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or any time on Sunday or a federal holiday.
Site Posting & Notification Requirements: Applicant shall notify in writing to all contractors requiring compliance with the above restrictions and shall post the name and 24-hour contact phone number for reporting of issues consistent with the requirements of Section 6.2.10(5) of the Specific Plan. An advance notice providing the 24-hour contact information for this site shall be mailed to all tenants and property owner within a 1,000-foot radius at least 30 days prior to the start of each of the three major construction phases of the project as identified in the Specific Plan.
2. Does the City have an equitable plan or idea on how the $22 million community benefit revenue will be used?
The budgeting and spending of the $22 million community benefit payment will be implemented through the City Council’s annual budget adoption process.
City Council 26 – 1141 10/1/2024
Exhibit 22: City Council Questions to Staff from September 17, 2024 Hearing
During its public hearing and consideration of the item on August 12, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended formation of a citizen oversight committee to make recommendations to the City Council on the budgeting and spending of the $22 million community benefit payment; this recommendation is documented in the September 17, 2024 City Council staff report prepared for the item.
3. Can staff include establishment of an oversight committee for the project? A revision can be made to Staff Report Exhibit 4 (Ordinance approving the Development Agreement) to establish a citizen oversight committee. The necessary revision would be implemented by modifying Section 3 with a new sentence to read:
The spending of the Community Benefit Payment or similar payment to the City for public benefits referenced by the Development Agreement shall be overseen through a Citizen Oversight Committee, whose formation, structure, purpose, and membership shall be established by Resolution of the City Council, and who shall make recommendations to the City Council prior to budgeting and spending of the first Community Benefit Payment or similar payment by the City, and through subsequent recommendations thereafter prior to the budgeting and spending of the Community Benefit Payments.
4. How will traffic signals be impacted by construction? The traffic study identified the need for 7 traffic signal improvements which are to be fully funded by the developer. Additionally, there are 6 other impacted intersections where the developer is only responsible for a share of the cost of improvements. The table below summarizes the requirements.

5. What issues did the Council ad hoc address?
The Development Agreement (DA) addresses key terms of importance to the community in accordance with California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. Specifically, the DA addresses the following priorities of the City Council Ad Hoc committee that was formed in October 2023 to address the DA’s deal points:
• Recordation
• Term (Duration of the DA) and Extension
• Timing (Phasing of the project)
• Community Benefits, including the $22 million community benefit payment • Hotel Economic Benefits
• Open Space
• Inclusionary Housing
Additional information and analysis of these deal points is contained within the September 17, 2024 City Council staff report prepared for the item, including Exhibits 4 and 7 to the staff report.
Throughout the duration of its ongoing meetings, the ad hoc committee evaluated additional considerations for the DA. Ultimately, the following items were discussed and were not included in the final recommended DA:
• Two additional five-year term extensions
• Local hire & active marketing
• Business retention
• Labor agreements
• Multi-use community center or library
• Police Department substation (ultimately included in the Specific Plan document, Section 6.2.12)
City Council 26 – 1143 10/1/2024
Exhibit 22: City Council Questions to Staff from September 17, 2024 Hearing
• Public art and a public art fee (public art design and locations ultimately addressed in the Specific Plan document, Section 5.11)
• Contribution of funding towards making repairs and upgrades to existing fire stations owned by the City
• “Green” building and site design features, such as water conservation, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building designs, electric vehicle parking, electric appliances, photovoltaic panels, ecology and wellness, street improvements, utility enhancements, and traffic improvements (ultimately included in the Specific Plan document, Sections
5.8 and 5.9)
• Formation of an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) • Multiple options to comply with the Affordable Housing Opportunity Creation Ordinance (AHOCO)
The ad hoc committee originally stood firm in negotiations on the fact that it encouraged Related to commit to entering into a Project Labor Agreement.
Ultimately, it was decided that requiring such an agreement would unfairly impact discussions and negotiations between Related and the union representatives.
Related assured the ad hoc committee that it would work with the unions and that upon presentation of the project to the City Council they would work to ensure that the unions supported the project as being in the best interests of the community and union workers.
6. Will the City’s CWA requirements apply to the project? No; the City’s CWA requirements only apply to public improvement projects and affordable housing projects that are built by the City or receive City funding. The public improvements required of the development are being built by the developer at the developer’s cost with no funding from the City.
However, the CWA does apply to City public improvement projects. As such, the CWA would apply to the offsite public infrastructure work that the City will generally construct, including work for which the Developer will pay a proportionate share of the costs. Public infrastructure anticipated by the City includes storm drain line extensions, street intersection improvements, water and sewer improvements, etc. The value of such improvements was previously estimated by DTA to be approximately $80 million.
