Exhibit B
to the greater of: (a) all amounts paid for the Property in excess of the Affordable Sales Price shall be forfeited to the City, or (b) the City Equity Share.

4.5 Equity Sharing Agreement.

4.5.1 Following the expiration of the Affordability Term, Homebuyer agrees to pay to the City the City Equity Share, as follows:

4.5.2 The City Equity Share shall be paid out of proceeds from a Transfer of the Property after the Affordability Term.

4.5.3 The City Equity Share includes the following:
(a) An amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the initial purchase and the Affordable Sales Price (the “Initial Subsidy”).
(b) An amount equal to the product of (1) the appreciation of the Affordable Unit, as measured by the increase in the fair market value of the Affordable Unit at the time of the sale to the Homebuyer and the resale of the Affordable Unit, and (2) the percentage that the initial subsidy represented of the fair market value of the Affordable Unit when it was purchased by the Homebuyer (the “Proportionate Share of Appreciation”).

4.6 The City Equity Share shall only be subordinate to a First Lien, as approved by the City at the time of the initial sale (or subsequent approval in the event of a refinance or resale during the Affordability Term), and amounts owed to Homebuyer for the value of improvements to the Property and the down payment paid by Homebuyer.

4.7 For purposes of determining the City Equity Share, at the time of the initial sale of the Property, and each re-sale during the Affordability Term, the fair market value shall be determined as follows:

4.7.1 For the initial sale, Developer may propose to the City a fair market value based on a price per square foot that is based on comparable sales of other units within the Project.

4.7.2 Except as approved in writing by the City, prior to the sale of an Affordable Unit, a qualified appraiser shall conduct an appraisal of the Affordable Unit to determine fair market value without the restrictions of this Agreement. If the Developer or a prospective Homebuyer disputes the appraised value, then that party may pay for the costs of a second appraisal and, if there is still disagreement, the average of the two appraisals shall be used to determine the fair market value.

4.7.3 The fair market value of the Affordable Unit, as determined in accordance with the above, shall be provided to the City for approval or disapproval, which City shall provide within thirty (30) days of receipt of the proposed fair market value. If City does not provide a written response within such time period, then the proposed fair market value shall be deemed approved by the City.

The written certificate shall also include a provision that in the event a Transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Agreement or false or misleading statements are made in any documents or certificate submitted to City for its approval of the Transfer, City shall have the right to file an action at law or in equity to make the parties terminate and/or rescind the sales contract and/or declare the sale void notwithstanding the fact that the Transfer may have closed and become final as between Homebuyer and Transferee.

5.4 Requirements for Permitted Transfers. For a Permitted Transfer during the Affordability Term, the City will require: (1) an assignment and assumption agreement that is reasonably acceptable to City, or (2) the proposed Transferee execute a new City Promissory Note, City Deed of Trust, and Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions.

TO SECURE to the City the payment of the sums, and the performance of the covenants and agreements of the Trustor evidenced by (i) that certain Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, Equity Sharing and Regulatory Agreement executed by and between Trustor and City, dated as of the date hereof and recorded substantially concurrently herewith (the “Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions”), and (ii) that certain City Promissory Note (the “Note”) dated as of the date hereof and executed by Trustor for the benefit of City, pursuant to which Trustor is obligated to pay to City a City Equity Share, and all extensions, modifications, or renewals of the Note and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. The Note and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions are incorporated herein by this reference; and TO SECURE the payment of all other sums, with interest thereon, advanced in accordance herewith to protect the security of this Deed of Trust and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Trustor herein contained.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

1. Trustor’s Estate. Trustor represents and warrants that Trustor is lawfully seized of the estate hereby conveyed, has the right to grant and convey the Security, and that other than this Deed of Trust, the Security is encumbered only by: (1) that certain deed of trust executed by Trustor and recorded against the Property substantially concurrently herewith to secure repayment of a loan made by ___________________ (the “First Mortgage Lender”) to assist Trustor in the purchase of the Property and evidenced by a promissory note executed by Trustor in favor of the First Mortgage Lender in the original principal amount of [Dollars] ($ ____ )(the “First Mortgage Note”), and (2) the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. Trustor agrees to warrant and defend generally the title to the Security against all claims and demands, subject to any declarations, easements or restrictions listed in a schedule of exceptions to coverage in any title insurance policy insuring the City’s interest in the Security, and Trustor shall pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorneys’ fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which City or Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by City to foreclose this Deed of Trust. As used in this Deed of Trust, the term “First Mortgage Lender” shall include all successors and assigns of the First Mortgage Lender with respect to the First Mortgage Note.

2. Note and Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions. Trustor will promptly pay when due all sums payable pursuant to the Note and shall perform all of Trustor’s covenants and obligations under the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, and this Deed of Trust.

3. Charges and Liens. Trustor will promptly pay when due, the interest, principal, and all other charges accruing under any deed of trust, mortgage, or other instrument encumbering the Property, and will pay when due directly to the payee thereof all taxes, assessments and other charges, fines and impositions affecting the Property. Upon request by the City, Trustor will promptly furnish to the City copies of all notices of amounts due described in this Section and evidence of payment of such amounts. Trustor shall pay when due each obligation secured by or reducible to a lien, charge or encumbrance which now does or later may encumber or appear to encumber all or part of the Property or any interest therein, whether or not such lien, charge or encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust; provided however, Trustor will not be required to discharge the lien of the deed of trust securing the First Mortgage Note (the “First Mortgage Deed of Trust”), and Trustor will not be required to pay any tax, charge, lien or City Council 19 – 65 5/6/2025

Exhibit D
assessment described in this Section so long as Trustor is actively contesting its validity in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings that will operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof. Trustor shall post security for the payment of such contested claims as may be requested by the City.

4. Protection of Security. If Trustor fails to perform any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced that materially affects City’s interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, default under any senior lienholder document, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, arrangements or proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, foreclosure of any mortgage secured by the Property or sale of the Property under a power of sale of any instrument secured by the Property, City, at its option, without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, may upon notice to Trustor, make such appearance, disburse such sums and take such action as is necessary to protect City’s interest, including, but not limited to, the purchase of insurance, disbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and entry upon the Property to make repairs. Any amounts disbursed by City pursuant to this Section, with interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust. Unless Trustor and City agree to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from City to Trustor requesting payment thereof, and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the highest rate permissible under applicable law.

Nothing contained in this Section shall require City to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

5. Inspection. The City may make, or cause to be made, reasonable entries upon the Property and inspections of the Security; provided that the City will give Trustor reasonable notice of inspection.

6. Title Insurance. At Trustor’s expense, Trustor shall purchase a CLTA lender’s policy of title insurance for the benefit of City, insuring this Deed of Trust as a secondary lien on the Property, with no delinquent taxes or assessment liens appearing as exceptions to title.

7. Hazard Insurance. Trustor shall keep the Property insured by a standard all-risk property insurance policy with endorsements for vandalism, malicious mischief, and special extended perils, in the full replacement value of the improvements, and with endorsements for increases in costs due to changes in code and inflation, with loss payable to City and any superior trust deed holder, as their interests may appear, and any other insurance required by the City.

The insurance carrier providing such insurance shall be licensed to do business in the State of California and may be chosen by Trustor, subject to approval by City. All insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be in a form acceptable to the City, and shall include a standard mortgagee clause with standard lender's endorsement in favor of the holder of any senior lien and the City as their interests may appear and in a form acceptable to the City. Trustor shall provide City with copies of all policies and renewals thereof, certificates of insurance, all renewal notices and all receipts of paid premiums. In the event of loss, Trustor shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and the City or its designated agent. The City, or its designated agent, may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Trustor. The policies shall include an endorsement providing that City shall receive thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of the cancellation, expiration or City Council 19 – 66 5/6/2025

termination or any material change in the coverage afforded by any of the insurance policies required under this Section.

If the Property is acquired by the City, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to any insurance policy and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from damage to the Property prior to the sale or acquisition will pass to the City to the extent of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately prior to such sale or acquisition, subject to the rights of the holder of any senior lien.

Renewal policies and any replacement policies, together with premium receipts satisfactory to the City, shall be delivered to the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of existing policies. Neither Trustee nor the City shall by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance incur any liability for the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency of such insurance, or solvency of any insurer for payment of losses. The application of proceeds pursuant to this Section shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

8. Awards and Damages. Subject to the rights of senior lienholders, all judgments, awards of damages, settlements and compensation made in connection with or in lieu of (a) taking of all or any part of or any interest in the Property by or under assertion of the power of eminent domain, (b) any damage to or destruction of the Property or any part thereof by insured casualty, and (c) any other injury or damage to all or any part of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be applied to the restoration or repair of the Property (if applicable) or paid to the City. The City is authorized and empowered (but not required) to collect and receive any such sums and is authorized to apply them in whole or in part upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order and manner as the City shall determine at its option. The City shall be entitled to settle and adjust all claims under insurance policies provided under this Deed of Trust and may deduct and retain from the proceeds of such insurance the amount of all expenses incurred by it in connection with any such settlement or adjustment. All or any part of the amounts so collected and recovered by the City may be released to Trustor upon such conditions as the City may impose for its disposition. Application of all or any part of the amounts collected and received by the City or the release thereof shall not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust. If the Property is abandoned by Trustor, or if, after notice by City or its designated agent to Trustor that the condemnor or insurer offers to make an award or settle a claim for damages, Trustor fails to respond to City within thirty (30) days after the date such notice is mailed, City or its designated agent is authorized to collect and apply the proceeds, at City’s option, either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust

9. Maintenance. Trustor shall maintain the Property and all structures and landscaping thereon in good condition and repair. Trustor agrees to complete installation of landscaping as approved by the City, and to diligently maintain and care for installed landscaping, using generally accepted methods of cultivation and watering. Trustor shall not remove or demolish any building located on the Property, and agrees to complete or restore promptly and in good and workmanlike manner any building which may be constructed, damaged or destroyed thereon, and to pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished therefor, and to comply with all laws affecting the Property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made thereon. Trustor shall not commit or permit waste thereof, and shall not commit or permit any act upon the Property in violation of applicable laws. Trustor will comply with all applicable City Council 19 – 67 5/6/2025

CITY COUNCIL DRAFT

Exhibit D
laws, ordinances and governmental regulations affecting the Property or requiring any alteration or improvement thereof, and will not suffer or permit any violations of any such law, ordinance or governmental regulation, nor of any covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Property. If there arises a condition in contravention of this Section, and if the Trustor has not cured such condition within thirty (30) days after receiving a notice from City of such a condition, then in addition to any other rights available to City, City shall have the right (but not the obligation) to perform all acts necessary to cure such condition, and to establish or enforce a lien or other encumbrance against the Property to recover its cost of cure.

10. Occupancy. Trustor shall occupy the Property as Trustor’s primary residence, and the Property shall be used as the primary residence of Trustor and Trustor’s household and for no other purpose. The Property shall not be leased or rented by Trustor to any person or entity other than as expressly permitted by the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or consented to by City in writing. The City shall have the right to monitor whether the Property is owner-occupied by requesting that Trustor provide City with a written certification under penalty of perjury that the Property is owner-occupied, accompanied by supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the City.

11. Transfer. Trustor shall not allow any Further Encumbrance or Transfer of the Property (as such terms are defined in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions) any without complying with all requirements of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions.

12. Assignment of Rents. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to City the rents, issues, revenue and profits of the Property. This is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for security only. Subject to the limitations on lease or rental of the Property as set forth herein and in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, City hereby confers upon Trustor a license to collect and retain such rents, issues, revenue and profits, as they become due and payable prior to any Default hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any such Default, City may terminate such license without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, and may either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, and sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as City may determine. City’s right to the rents, issues, revenue and profits of the Property does not depend upon whether or not City takes possession of the Property. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such rents, issues, revenue and profits, and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. If a Default occurs while City is in possession of all or part of the Property and/or is collecting and applying rents as permitted under this Deed of Trust, City, Trustee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law or in equity, including the right to exercise the power of sale granted hereunder. Regardless of whether or not City, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Property, City shall not be deemed to be a “mortgagee in possession,” shall not be responsible for performing any obligation of the lessor under any lease, shall not be liable in any manner for the Property, or the use, occupancy, enjoyment City Council 19 – 68 5/6/2025

h. Trustor declares bankruptcy or makes an assignment of assets for the benefit of creditors, or an order for relief is entered under federal bankruptcy laws as to Trustor, or Trustor is adjudicated as insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to the provisions of any state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy, or Trustor consents to, acquiesces in, or attempts to secure the appointment of, any receiver for all or any substantial part of the Property; i. The occurrence of an event of default under any loan secured by the Property and the continuance of such default beyond the expiration of all applicable cure periods such that the holder of such loan has the right to accelerate such loan. j.

The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any breach hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such breach and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, the City shall be entitled to exercise every right and remedy provided under the Note, this Deed of Trust, or the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, or by law upon occurrence of any uncured breach.

The notice shall further inform Trustor of Trustor’s right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the nonexistence of a default or any other defense of Trustor to acceleration and sale. If the breach is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, City at City’s option declare all of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and/or pursue any other remedy provided herein or available under law.

Exhibit D
City shall be entitled to collect from the Trustor, or from the proceeds of the sale of the Property, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

If a non-monetary default is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, the City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may grant the Trustor or the First Mortgage Lender such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default provided that the Trustor or the First Mortgage Lender (i) initiates corrective action within said period, and (ii) diligently, continually, and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible.

Notwithstanding the cure periods established in this Section, in no event shall the City be precluded from sooner exercising any remedies if its security becomes or is about to become materially jeopardized by any failure to cure a default or the default is not cured within ninety (90) days after the first notice of default or delinquency is given. b. Trustor’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding City’s acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Trustor will have the right to have any proceedings begun by City to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time prior to five (5) days before sale of the Property pursuant to the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust or at any time prior to entry of the judgment enforcing this Deed of Trust if: (a) Trustor pays City all sums which would be then due under this Deed of Trust and the Note had no acceleration occurred; (b) Trustor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by City and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees; Trustor cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Trustor set forth in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions and this Deed of Trust; and (d) Trustor takes such action as City may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, City’s interest in the Property and Trustor’s obligation to pay the sums and perform the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Trustor, this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby will remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred.
c. Sale. After delivery to Trustee of a Notice of Default and Demand for Sale and after the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of default and sale as may then be required by law, and without demand on Trustor, Trustee shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States of America, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee or the City, may purchase at such sale. Upon such sale by Trustee it shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty expressed or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. Upon sale by Trustee and after deducting all costs, expenses and fees of Trustee, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to the payment of the indebtedness hereby secured, including without limitation the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, any advances made or costs or expenses paid or incurred by City under this Deed of Trust, any indebtedness evidenced by any other instrument hereby City Council 19 – 71 5/6/2025

secured, and all other sums then secured hereby, including without limitation, interest as provided in the Note and the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, in such order as the City shall direct; and then the remainder, if any, shall be paid to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

16. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No exercise of any right or remedy by the City or Trustee hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy herein contained or provided by law, and no delay or forbearance by the City or Trustee in exercising any such right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof in any continued or subsequent default hereunder. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or any other document, or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively. No sale of the Property, forbearance on the part of City, or extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness hereby secured shall operate to release, discharge, waive, modify, change or affect the liability of Trustor either in whole or in part.

17. Indemnity. Trustor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Santa Ana, and its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, and agents harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees that they may incur as a direct or indirect consequence of: (i) Trustor’s failure to perform any obligations as and when required by the Note, the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, or this Deed of Trust; or (ii) the failure at any time of any of Trustor’s representations or warranties herein or in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions or the Note to be true and correct.

18. Due on Transfer of the Property. If the Trustor sells, conveys, assigns, transfers, alienates, or otherwise disposes of its interest in the Property, either voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, in part or in full, in violation of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, the City may, at its option, require immediate payment in full of all sums due under the Note.

19. Reconveyance. Upon payment of all sums and satisfaction of all obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including without limitation, payment of the City Equity Share as defined in the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, and upon the expiration or termination of the Affordable Housing Resale Restrictions, the City will provide a written request to the Trustee to reconvey the Security and will surrender this Deed of Trust and the Note to Trustee. The Trustee shall reconvey the Security without warranty and without charge to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Such person or persons shall pay all costs of recordation, if any. The recitals in the reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.

20. Trustee Substitution. The City, at its option and without prior notice, may from time to time, by written instrument, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee pursuant to a written instrument executed by City and duly acknowledged and recorded in the Official Records of Orange. Such instrument shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all the title, estate, power and duties conferred upon the Trustee herein and by applicable law. Such instrument shall set forth the name of the Trustor, the original Trustee and the Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded, and the name and address of the new Trustee.

AFFORDABLE SALES PRICE
Income criteria used to determine affordable sales price and affordable housing cost are based on standards imposed by the Ordinance and California Health and Safety Code Sections 50093 and 50052.5.

Certain assumptions are used in calculating both the Affordable housing cost and the Affordable Sales Price for the Affordable Units in this Project.

Affordable housing costs include reasonable costs associated with owning a housing unit. These include:
 Principal and interest payments for the Affordable Unit with a 10% down payment  Private mortgage insurance (if applicable)
 Property taxes and assessments
 Homeowner’s insurance
 A reasonable allowance for utilities
 A reasonable allowance for unit maintenance; and
 Homeowners maintenance association dues (HOA)
The maximum Affordable Sales Price for an Affordable Unit is the total sales prices a typical Moderate Income Household (up to 120% of median income), adjusted for the household size appropriate for the unit size, can afford to pay for housing. Accordingly, the Affordable Sales Price for the Affordable Units in this Project will be as set forth below unless the Household income of the Moderate Income Household exceeds 110% of Area Median Income adjusted for household size, in which case the Affordable Sales Price shall be recalculated in accordance with California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 50052.5 and the actual income of the Homebuyer to calculate the Affordable Sales Price for that Homebuyer. Affordable Sales Price shall be recalculated quarterly and upon annual release of AMI for Orange County by HCD, in accordance with HSC Section 50052.5. Further, the calculation of the Affordable Sales Price will be based on actual unrestricted rate price estimates, the percentage of income allocated to housing pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 50052.5, actual homeowner’s association dues, utility costs (based on similar projects) and a commercially reasonable interest rate at the time the Homebuyer enters into a Residential Purchase Agreement with Developer, or its successor in interest. In the event that the actual interest rate available for the Supportable Mortgage is less than the interest rate set forth herein, Developer may elect to recalculate Affordable Sales Price based on actual interest rate.

The sale price below is based on a target income level established by Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5, not the income of the actual Homebuyer, except in the case of Homebuyers whose income exceeds 110% of area median income. The household size adjustment that is used in determining the income limit for the purpose of setting the maximum Affordable Sales Price is based on the number of bedrooms in the unit, not the size of the specific Homebuyer’s household.

These criteria are based on the California Health and Safety Code and allow the Affordable Sales City Council 19 – 93 5/6/2025

Page 80 ends

Price to be set in advance of identifying a specific buyer. The Affordable Sales Price for each Affordable Unit is determined by using three-bedroom unit and presumed household size of four and by using four-bedroom unit and presumed household size of five.

Kim Prijatel with City Ventures Homebuilding, LLC, representing property owner Clark Beyer, General Manager of the Alminlo Properties, LLC, is requesting approval of a vesting tentative tract map (VTTM) and a concession and waivers or reductions of development standards (or, “deviation” as referenced in the SAMC) as memorialized in a density bonus agreement (DBA) to allow the construction of a 45 unit, two to three-story residential townhouse development for the property at 510 and 520 North Harbor Boulevard.

Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s request due to the project’s satisfying the intent of the General Plan and Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2) to promote a pedestrian-oriented environment, and because the project will provide additional affordable and market-rate ownership housing stock to the community.

Background and Context
According to permit records and historical aerial photographs, the subject site was utilized for agricultural purposes until its development as a service station in 1964, after which it transitioned to automobile servicing, and later to automobile sales. While the site has been the subject of developer interest for a variety of uses, such as used car sales and parking lots, it is currently vacant.

In October 2014, the City Council adopted the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2), which replaced the North Harbor Specific Plan and allows for a greater amount of residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects in the Specific Plan area.

Following the concepts and goals of the Specific Plan, in March 2024, the City received a proposal to develop the site with the subject development. After several submittals of the project and working with staff to comply with the provisions of the Harbor Plan, and after engaging with surrounding property owners, the applicant revised the plans to the current proposed development.

The applicant is proposing a “housing development project,” defined by the law at Government Code Section 65589.5(h) as “a use consisting of residential units only, mixed use development consisting of residential and nonresidential uses with at least two-thirds of the square footage designated for residential use, and transitional housing or supportive housing.” As such, the subject development will be subject to the limitations imposed by California Senate Bill 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 or the HCA. More information on the HCA is provided in subsequent sections of this report.

California Senate Bill 330
California Senate Bill (SB) 330 made numerous changes to existing State law and adopted the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA). The changes proposed by SB 330 became effective on January 1, 2020, establishing a statewide “housing emergency” until January 1, 2025.

One of the provisions of the senate bill amended Government Code Section 65941.1 with the broad goals of facilitating increased production of new residential units, protecting existing units, and providing for an expedited review and approval process for housing development projects through submittal of a “preliminary application.” On January 1, 2022, the HCA was extended until January 1, 2030, with the passage of Senate Bill 8.

Among other changes, SB 330 requires the following for applicable housing development projects:
• New, non-objective development standards established after January 1, 2020, cannot be imposed or enforced.
• Applicable housing development projects must receive a decision in no more than five (5) public hearings - whether the item is being heard by a Design Review Board, Planning Commission or City Council, and including any appeals (save for those related to a legislative action).
• Prohibits any moratorium, project or action that would result in a net downzoning, limit the number of permits to be issued, or otherwise reduce housing or limit overall population.

As a “housing development project,” the application is being submitted pursuant SB 330.

The development is required to comply with the objective zoning code standards applicable to the property, but only to the extent that they facilitate the development at the density allowed, 50 du/ac per the Urban Neighborhood-50 (UN-50) General Plan land use designation.

Project Description
The project includes the construction of a new residential development consisting of 45 townhouse units and 11,673 square feet of open space (common and private combined).

The development will consist of nine residential buildings ranging from two- to three-story townhouse units and will provide onsite bicycle parking. The units will include private balconies and decks, with some offering ground floor patios. The units have been designed to be family-oriented, featuring thirty-six (36) three-bedroom units and nine (9) four-bedroom units with and 2.5 to 3.5 bathrooms each. Every unit will contain a two-car garage at ground level (tuck-under building design) with residential units above, and the project site City Council 19 – 98 5/6/2025

will contain nine guest parking spaces, for a total of 99 parking spaces, exceeding the requirements of the Specific Plan. However, to proactively address parking management policies, staff is recommending conditions of approval similar to those for other residential infill projects that would incorporate parking management practices in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that will be recorded against the property.

Of the total units in the development, five units are proposed to be affordable to households earning 80-120 percent of the AMI, which is currently set at $154,800, adjusted for a fourperson household size, as published by California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Four of the affordable units will be three-bedroom units while the last unit will be a four-bedroom unit. The proposed affordable units will range in size between 1,451 to 1,775 square feet in size and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and open/common (living) areas.

Approximately 7,820 square feet or approximately 10 percent of the total site area will be open space provided through private exterior ground-level porches/front yards and upper decks distributed throughout the site. The remainder of the open space will be provided as a 3,853 square foot common open central courtyard within the site’s interior. The design and layout of the proposed common open space would function as a passive outdoor area, providing functional amenities to residents (e.g., picnic tables, BBQ, lounge furniture, etc.). The open space would feature a shade trellis, hardscaping materials, trees, and shrubs. The proposed landscaping includes, but are not limited to, purple orchid, tulip, sweet bay, African sumac, southern magnolia, fern pine, Brisbane box, crape myrtle trees, as well as a variety of shrubs. Lastly, each unit will also contain decks/private balconies for the use of each unit’s owners.

The project features a contemporary architectural style similar to many multiple-family or mixed-use residential communities under construction in Santa Ana and the region. The overall design, massing, features, and materials of the new construction will be compatible with, but differentiated from the existing multi-family neighborhood. The contemporary architectural style would include fiber cement lap siding, stucco finish, stone veneer, metal awnings, and high quality architectural detailing (e.g., exterior lighting, entry doors, fenestration, etc.). Each building will be painted with different accent colors to distinguish each structure within the community. Moreover, the residential structures are designed to fully screen all mechanical equipment within the structure, parapet walls, and screened with landscaping. Overall, the project will include a design and solid construction materials that will ensure that the project ages well for the duration of the building’s lifetime.

As part of the current entitlement, the applicant has submitted a vesting tentative parcel map application to subdivide the project site into a condominium lot with forty-five condominium units, which would allow each unit to be sold for individual ownership. The applicant has prepared the required vesting tentative tract map, which clarifies the proposed subdivision for the proposed condominiums.

Density Bonus
The California Density Bonus law allows developers proposing five or more residential units to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek up to five incentives/concessions and an unlimited number of waivers or reductions in development standards. The concessions/incentives are generally reductions in site development standards or modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements, and waivers are essentially variances from development standards (a site or construction condition).

The first version of the Density Bonus Law was adopted in 1979 and has since been amended at various times. In early 2017, the law was amended to restrict the ability of local jurisdictions to require studies to “justify” the density bonus and requested incentives/waivers and places the onus on local jurisdictions to prove that the incentives/concessions or waivers are not financially warranted.

Pursuant to the California Density Bonus law, a project’s affordability level is determined by dividing the number of proposed affordable units by the allowable “base” density (i.e., 50 du/ac). Moreover, the State density bonus law states that units added by a density bonus are excluded from the calculations. The base density for the 2.5-acre site at 50 du/ac is 125 units. Of the total units in the development, five units are proposed to be affordable.

Therefore, the project would have a 10-percent affordability rate. As such, State density bonus law allows the developer to request a maximum density bonus of five-percent (5%).

Due to the project’s 10-percent affordability rate, the developer can seek one density bonus incentive/concession and unlimited waivers, pursuant to Section 65915 et al. of the California Government Code (Density Bonuses and Other Incentives). In addition, California Assembly Bill No. 2345, approved September 28, 2020, revised the State Density Bonus Law originally adopted in 1979 to provide additional benefits for projects that include qualifying affordable housing. For this project, the developer is not requesting a state density bonus for additional units but will avail themselves of the incentive/concession and waivers that are required to be provided by State density bonus law for projects with the requisite affordability.

The purpose of the State Density Bonus Law is to encourage the development and availability of affordable housing. Pursuant to California Government Code sections 65915 (d)(1) and 65915 (e)(1), a local jurisdiction is limited in its ability to deny requested incentives, concessions, and waivers. The City has analyzed the project and has identified several areas of potential impacts; however, the conditions of approval proposed for the project are intended to address the project’s potential impacts.

Pursuant to SB 330 and the General Plan Land Use Element, the developer has selected the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP-2) development standards for a tuck-under building type to design the projects. However, pursuant to the Density Bonus Law, the developer is seeking a specific concession and waivers from certain SP-2 standards to facilitate development of the project. Table 3 outlines the concession and waivers requested by the applicant pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code Sec. 65915 (e)(1).

Onsite Parking
To proactively address any neighborhood parking impacts that could result from the project, the conditions of approval for the VTTM and terms of the DBA include provisions requiring the following parking management practices, to be incorporated into the final, recorded CC&Rs, and applicable throughout the life of the project:
• Requiring onsite parking permits (such as stickers or hang-tags) for any parking in the surface guest parking spaces;
• Policies for maximum time vehicles may be parked in the surface guest spaces; • Policies for towing unauthorized vehicles; vehicles parked in unauthorized locations, such as fire lanes; vehicles parking in surface guest parking without a sticker, hangtag, or other identifiers; and vehicles parked longer than any maximum guest parking timeframes allowed; and
• Routine garage inspections to ensure garages are available for vehicle parking.

Project Analysis
Pursuant to Section 41-1607 of the SAMC, an application for a density bonus agreement is required to be approved by the Planning Commission for any project containing “deviations” (incentives/concessions and/or waivers). The Planning Commission’s review of the density bonus agreement is based on the following findings:

1. The proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the city.

2. The development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land use element.

3. The deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for the applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the development pursuant to section 41- 1603.

The project does not require a Site Plan Review Application pursuant to Table 3-2 (Permitted Uses) as part of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2). Accordingly, the Planning Commission’s review and determination for this request are limited to the deviations requested in the Density Bonus Agreement application and memorialized in the Density Bonus Agreement only.

Table 4: Analysis of the Requested Concession (1) and Waivers (3) Standard Analysis
Building Frontage (Concession) - SP-2, Ch. 3, Frontyard/Porch Frontage Type, 1 Ground Floor Height
SP-2 requires minimum floor heights based on proposed frontage type (e.g., forecourt, stoop, etc.). The project proposes a frontyard/porch frontage type with 9’-1” ground floor height and is below the minimum 10’ required.

The project’s location in a flood zone necessitates raising the site's base flood elevation, impacting ground floor-to-ceiling heights. To comply with flood regulations, interior floor levels must be elevated, reducing first-floor ceiling heights. Maintaining the proposed unit count while adhering to these requirements would require a redesign, potentially leading to fewer residential units, affecting the project's density and efficiency. Moreover, SP-2 was originally intended to achieve a specific urban form, and since existing nearby multi-family residential developments do not maintain a minimum building floor height, the proposed design is consistent with the existing multi-family residences.

Dimension – Depth
The minimum dimensions for porch type building frontages is 6’ depth. No porches fully meet these requirements.

Modifying porch depth is challenging due to the flood zone location. Changes would require building reconfiguration to accommodate proper stairs from street level, given elevated floor requirements. This would affect unit layouts, disrupting the efficient stacked floor plan and potentially reducing interior space and bedroom counts.

Dimension – Width The minimum dimensions for porch type building frontages is 10’ width if an asymmetrical entry. No porches fully meet these requirements.

Modifying porch width is challenging due to the flood zone location. Changes would require building reconfiguration to accommodate proper stairs from street level, given elevated floor requirements. This would affect unit layouts, disrupting the efficient stacked floor plan and potentially reducing interior space and bedroom counts.

Open Space (Waivers) - SP-2, Ch. 3, Table 3-9. Onsite Open Space Requirements Common – Area
The total common open space required for the project site (net) is equal to 15 percent of the lot, or approximately 12,290 sq. ft. Instead, the project provides a 3,853 sq. ft. of common open space (approximately 5 percent), which is a difference of 8,437 sq. ft. or 10 percent.

Meeting the minimum required open space would eliminate six or more units, affecting project feasibility. To maintain the proposed unit count, the developer would need to modify the building type and construct additional floors, potentially exceeding the maximum allowable height in the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2) and increasing development costs. To help alleviate the open space deficiency, the project proposes an average of 174 sq. ft. of private open space per unit, through private balconies/decks.

Standard Analysis
Private – Area
The minimum required private open space is 90 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Twentyseven (27) units featuring both upper balconies/decks and ground floor yards meet this requirement. The remaining eighteen (18) units with only upper balcony decks fall short of the minimum area.

Adhering to the minimum private open space requirement would necessitate significant design alterations. Unit layouts would require reconfiguration, reducing habitable interior space and potentially bedroom counts. Expanding balconies, especially if cantilevered over the private drive, could impede emergency vehicle access, raising safety concerns. These changes would disrupt the efficient stacked floor plan design, affecting the development's livability and unit mix.

Private –
Dimensions
Private open space minimum dimensions are 6 feet in all directions. Only one unit provides the minimum 6 feet in all directions for private area.

When analyzed cumulatively, the requested concession and waiver could be avoided if the project were designed on a different site or using a different site plan. If the project were designed with a multi-level parking and/or subterranean parking structure, or if the applicant used different building materials to construct a taller project, additional area on site would become available to provide the minimum required open space and ground floor height.

However, these changes would increase development costs and result in a project that would exceed the maximum permitted building height, resulting in the housing project becoming financially infeasible due to the significantly increased financial implications of an alternative construction type compared to the relatively smaller scale of the project.

Moreover, the changes would result in the loss of the five affordable townhouse units.

Based on the analysis provided within this report, the proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing additional affordable and market-rate ownership housing stock in the city and will consistent with the applicable designation in the general plan land use element. In addition, the proposed deviations are necessary to make the project economically feasible pursuant to section 41-1603.

Vesting Tentative Tract Map
Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act, applications for vesting tentative tract maps are approved when it can be shown that findings can be made in support of the request.

Specifically, findings related to the proposal need to be made that find the project is consistent with the General Plan, the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project, the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems, or the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property must be made. 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 applicant’s request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants approval of the vesting tentative tract map.

The applicant is seeking approval of a vesting tentative tract map to subdivide for condominium purposes, as the proposed development consists of 45 townhome units.

The request would vest the right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the time the vesting map is deemed complete. Upon completion of the subdivision, the lots will continue to be utilized for residential use in the form of attached tuck-under unit type structures. In reviewing the project, staff determined that the proposal as conditioned is consistent with the various provisions of the City’s General Plan. As a housing development project, the proposed development site has been found to be consistent with the objective general plan standards for the property. Moreover, the proposal is consistent with the various provisions of the zoning and subzone designations (SP-2, Corridor), including lot size, setbacks, density, and parking. Lastly, the applicant has requested waivers for those development standards that require deviations, as previously analyzed.

Further conditions of approval have been included to bring the site’s landscaping, architectural design, and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to be in compliance with all applicable standards of the SAMC and the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2). Further, no adverse environmental impacts to fish or wildlife populations were identified as the project site is located in a built-out, urbanized area.

The project will also maintain all required easements. Finally, the tentative tract map was found to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapter 34 of the Municipal Code.

The overall project site provides an opportunity for additional housing and development that would otherwise continue to remain as a vacant, under-utilized parcel. These improvements will help to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding community by providing 45 for-sale, market-rate and affordable housing, with five onsite affordable units.

The proposed project is part of the Harbor Mixed-Used Transit Corridor Specific Plan and has been designed to incorporate significant design features, articulating elevations in order to minimize any visual impacts on surrounding land uses.

Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance
The project exceeds the affordable housing goal for the ownership category of the City’s Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO) by providing five (5) onsite units in place of three (3) for sale units which will target moderate-income (80- 120%) households, significantly enhancing the opportunity for income eligible Santa Ana households to own a home in the City at a lower cost. The units will be dispersed throughout the community. Four of the affordable units will be three-bedroom units while the last unit will be a four-bedroom unit. The proposed affordable units will range in size between 1,451 to 1,775 square feet in size and will contain full kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, in-unit storage, and open/common (living) areas. The developer’s Inclusionary Housing Plan has been reviewed and approved by the City’s Housing Division.

Public Notification and Community Outreach
Project notifications were posted, published, and mailed in accordance with City and State regulations. Copies of the public notice, including a 1,000-foot notification radius map, and the site posting are provided in Exhibit 12. In addition, staff contacted the provided contacts for the Riverview West and Santa Anita Neighborhood Associations to ensure they were aware of the project and public hearing. At the time this report was printed, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed development.

The applicant also held two community meetings in conformance to the Sunshine Ordinance notification requirements in place at the time the application was submitted (April 30, 2024). The first meeting was a combined in-person and virtual community meeting on June 27, 2024. This meeting was publicly noticed in the Orange County Reporter, posted on the City’s website, and invitation mailers were sent to all addresses within a 2,000-foot radius of the project site, as well as local community organizations.

The meeting included a presentation on the project as well as a question and answer period to address concerns and collect feedback. Participants asked questions about the cost, parking, and interest list. However, no issues of concern were raised regarding the proposed development. Approximately five to 10 individuals attended the meeting.

On August 8, 2024, the applicant held a second combined in-person and virtual Sunshine Ordinance community meeting. This meeting was also publicly noticed in the Orange County Reporter, posted on the City’s website, and invitation mailers were sent to all addresses within a 2,000-foot radius of the project site, as well as local community organizations. The meeting included a brief presentation and summary on the project, as well as a question and answer period to address concerns and collect feedback.

Participants asked questions about the project timing and security. Two individuals attended the meeting. Materials from both the June 27 and August 8 meetings are posted to the project’s City webpage.

2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or
3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income.

B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in-lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A).

The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to low income families. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-32, will be filed for this project.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

o Policy HE-2.7 Affordable Component –
Pursuant to the Affordable Housing Opportunity
and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO), require
eligible rental and ownership housing projects to
include at least 15 percent of the rental housing
units as affordable for low-income households;
or 10 percent of the rental units affordable to
very low-income households; or 5 percent of
rental units affordable to lower income
households (5 percent to low-income, 3 percent
to very low- income, and 2 percent to extremely
low-income households); or at least 5 percent of
the units in eligible ownership projects
affordable to moderate-income households.

Implement various strategies using the in-lieu
fees generated by AHOCO to provide a wide
array of affordable housing options.

2. The proposed project conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City ordinances.

City Council 19 – 113 5/6/2025
Resolution No. 2024-XXX

Page 4 of 11 ends

The proposed development is being submitted as an SB 330 application. The proposed project will conform to all
requirements of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) and the development standards specified by the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2), except for the open space area and dimensions, as well as the minimum ground floor height and dimensions for building frontage, which are memorialized in a separate density bonus agreement. Lastly, all subdivision codes will be met as well as other applicable City ordinances.

3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project.

The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project. The proposed site consists of
approximately 2.5 acres of land and is physically suitable for the proposed development, where access to the site will be from 5
th Street. The current general plan land use designation for the project site is UN-50 which allows a mix of uses, including medium and medium-high density apartments,
townhomes, garden- or motor-court homes, and
neighborhood- serving commercial. The proposed density is 18 du/ac and well within the 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) maximum allowed under its general plan land use designation.

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 design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Since the project is located in an urbanized area, 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. Additionally, the development of the property as proposed, has been
determined to be exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential City Council 19 – 114 5/6/2025
Resolution No. 2024-XXX

Page 5 of 11 ends

units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families.

5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems.

The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause serious health problems, with the proposed subdivision not having any detrimental effects upon the general public. The property will include necessary utilities and infrastructure improvements as required under Development Project Review No. 2024-10.

6. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through, or use of, 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 the existing and recorded easements for the property have been considered as part of the review. Existing easements for street and highway purposes in the documents recorded October
18, 1957 as book 4074, page 548 of official records and October 25, 1947 as book 4082, page 244 of official records are proposed to remain. Easements for a new emergency
vehicle, public right-of-way dedication, and public utility easement will be recorded under the new subdivision. The subdivision consists of forty-five condominium air-right units along Harbor Boulevard and 5th Street. The installation of all utilities will conform with the requirements stated in Section 41-626 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The conceptual
design of all proposed construction for the property will not affect the right-of-way for road purposes
.

Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15195 (Residential Infill Exemption), as this project meets all the threshold criteria set forth in Section 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions). This exemption applies to projects or sites that:

1. Meet the threshold criteria set forth in section 15192; provided that with respect to the requirement in section15192(b) regarding community-level environmental review, such review must be certified or adopted within five years of the date that the lead City Council 19 – 115 5/6/2025
Resolution No. 2024-XXX

agency deems the application for the project to be complete pursuant to Section 65943 of the Government Code.

2. Meet both of the following size criteria:

A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area.

B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet.

3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location:

A. The project is a residential project on an infill site.

B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop.

4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units:

A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units.

A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code.
1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or
2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or
3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income.

The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop.

AGREEMENT NO. 2024-02 TO ALLOW A FORTY-FIVE UNIT

SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOME
DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 510
AND 520 NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD (APN: 100-631-05
& 100-631-04)

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. Kim Prijatel, representing City Ventures Homebuilding, LCC (applicant), on behalf of Clark Beyer, General Manager of the Alminlo Properties, LLC (property owner), is requesting approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2024-02 (County Map No. 19328) and a certain concession and waivers or reductions of certain development standards pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (or “deviation,” as referenced in the SAMC) to be memorialized in a density bonus agreement (DBA) to allow the construction of a forty-five unit attached townhome development, five of which are proposed as onsite moderate-income affordable units, for the property located at 510 and 520 North Harbor Boulevard.

B. California Senate Bill 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (HCA), became effective on January 1, 2020, and established a statewide “housing emergency” until January 1, 2025.

C. On January 1, 2022, the HCA was extended until January 1, 2030, with the passage of Senate Bill 8.

D. The proposed development is being submitted as a Senate Bill No. 330 (SB 330) application.

E. The Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2) was adopted in 2014 as a result of interest in developing mixed-use residential and commercial projects in its project area. The regulating plan, which establishes land uses and development standards, allows a variety of housing projects, including multi-family and mixed-use residential communities, as well as live/work City Council 19 – 122 5/6/2025
Resolution No. 2024-xx

Page 2 of 11 ends

units. The selection of the SP-2 development standards for this project is consistent with the overall character of the surrounding community.

F. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers or reductions of development standards.

G. The Applicant’s request has been evaluated by the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC) through Development Project No. 2024-10.

Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, proposed development, and the applicant’s requests for concessions and waivers or reductions pursuant to the State’s Density Bonus Law.

H. On December 9, 2024 the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral.

I. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an application for a density bonus agreement containing deviations (incentives/concessions and/or waivers or reductions) to be approved by the Planning Commission.

J. The Planning Commission determined that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a deviation pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1607, have been established for Density Bonus Agreement No. 2024-02 to allow construction of the proposed project:

1. That the proposed development will materially assist in accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the city.

The proposed development will provide a forty-five unit singlefamily attached townhome development, five of which are proposed as moderate-income affordable units, contributing toward the City’s ownership housing stock to serve the needs of diverse and underserved populations. The area in which the project is proposed currently contains multiple low- to medium-density, multi-family residential communities. The construction of this project will contribute toward an
economically balanced community by providing housing for different demographic and income levels in an area rich with employment opportunities, commercial development, and
market-rate housing.

City Council 19 – 123 5/6/2025
Resolution No. 2024-xx

Page 3 of 11 ends

2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land use element.

The application is being submitted as a Senate Bill No. 330 application. The proposed project and its design and
improvements will be consistent with the Urban
Neighborhood-50 (UN-50) land use designation of the
General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other elements of the General Plan and any applicable specific plans. The current general plan land use designation for the project site is UN-50 which allows a mix of uses, including medium and medium-high density apartments, townhomes,
garden- or motor-court homes, and neighborhood- serving commercial. The proposed density is 18 du/ac and well within the 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) maximum allowed under its general plan land use designation.

3. That the deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for the Applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the development pursuant to section 41-1603.

The proposed project requires six deviations in: (1)
frontyard/porch ground floor height, (2) frontyard/porch depth, (3) frontyard/porch width for asymmetrical entry, (4) common open space area; (5) private open space area; (6) private open space dimensions. The six deviations are described as follows:

Frontyard/Porch Frontage – Ground Floor Height
The development standards in SP-2 require minimum floor heights based on the selected frontage type (e.g., forecourt, shop front, stoop, etc.). The project design proposes a frontyard/porch frontage type and the ground floor heights are proposed below the minimum 10’ required. The ground floor height is designed at a minimum of 9’-1”
The development's location in a flood zone necessitates raising the site's base flood elevation, directly impacting ground floor-to-ceiling heights. To comply with flood
regulations, interior floor levels must be elevated, reducing first-floor ceiling heights. Maintaining the proposed unit count while adhering to these requirements would require a
comprehensive site and elevation redesign. This could
potentially lead to a reduction in residential units, affecting the project's density and efficiency.

City Council 19 – 124 5/6/2025
Resolution No. 2024-xx

Page 4 of 11 ends

SP-2 was originally intended to achieve a specific urban form.

Existing nearby multi-family residential developments to the project site do not maintain a minimum building floor height.

Therefore, the proposed design is consistent with the existing multi-family residences.

Frontyard/Porch Frontage – Depth
The minimum dimension for porch type building frontages is 6’ depth. None of the porches provide the minimum entry depth required for porches.

Modifying the porch depth presents significant challenges due to the development's location in a flood zone. Such changes would necessitate building reconfiguration to accommodate proper stair risers and treads from street level, which would be complex given the elevated floor requirements in floodprone areas. This reconfiguration would cascade into the unit layouts, disrupting the efficient stacked floor plan design and potentially reducing habitable interior space and bedroom counts.

Frontyard/Porch Frontage – Width
The minimum dimension for porch type building frontages 10’ width if an asymmetrical entry. None of the porches provide the minimum entry width required for porches.

Modifying the porch width presents significant challenges due to the development's location in a flood zone. Such changes would necessitate building reconfiguration to accommodate proper stair risers and treads from street level, which would be complex given the elevated floor requirements in floodprone areas. This reconfiguration would cascade into the unit layouts, disrupting the efficient stacked floor plan design and potentially reducing habitable interior space and bedroom counts.

Common Open Space – Area
Pursuant to SP-2, the minimum common open space for the project site (net) is equal to 15 percent of the lot, or approximately 12,290 sq. ft. As proposed, the project provides a 3,853 sq. ft. of common open space (approximately 5
percent).

The minimum common open space requirement specified in
SP-2 is designed to offer visual relief and strengthen the City Council 19 – 125 5/6/2025

connection to the natural environment. As new homes and businesses are established along the corridor, there will be an increased demand for spaces to relax and recreate that are easy to access. While the full 15 percent is not provided, residents will still have access to a 3,853 square foot common open central courtyard within the site’s interior. The design and layout (50’x77’) of the proposed common open space would provide functional amenities to residents (e.g., picnic tables, BBQ, lounge furniture, etc.). The open space would also feature a shade trellis, hardscaping materials, trees, and shrubs.

Providing the required open space standard would lead to the elimination of six or more units, which would affect the feasibility to construct the project. In order to maintain the current proposed unit count, the developer would be required to modify the building type and construct additional floor levels, which may exceed the maximum allowable height as part of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan (SP-2), and would further increase development costs. To help
alleviate the open space deficiency, the project proposes an average of 174 sq. ft. of private open space per unit, through use of private balconies/decks.

Private Open Space – Area
The minimum required private open space is 90 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. Units featuring both upper balconies/decks and ground floor yards meet this requirement. However, units with only upper balcony decks fall short of the minimum area.

Adhering to the minimum private open space requirement
would necessitate significant design alterations. Unit layouts would require reconfiguration, reducing habitable interior space and potentially bedroom counts. Expanding balconies, especially if cantilevered over the private drive, could impede emergency vehicle access, raising safety concerns. These changes would disrupt the efficient stacked floor plan design, affecting the development's livability and unit mix.

Private Open Space – Dimensions
The minimum dimensions for private open space are 6’. None of the private open space areas provide the minimum 6’ in all directions.

Adhering to the minimum private open space requirement
would necessitate significant design alterations. Unit layouts City Council 19 – 126 5/6/2025

would require reconfiguration, reducing habitable interior space and potentially bedroom counts. Expanding balconies, especially if cantilevered over the private drive, could impede emergency vehicle access, raising safety concerns. These changes would disrupt the efficient stacked floor plan design, affecting the development's livability and unit mix.

2. Meet both of the following size criteria:

A. The site of the project is not more than four acres in total area.

B. The project does not include any single level building that exceeds 100,000 square feet.

3. Meet both of the following requirements regarding location:

A. The project is a residential project on an infill site.

B. The project is within one-half mile of a major transit stop.

4. Meet both of the following requirements regarding number of units:

A. The project does not contain more than 100 residential units.

A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code.
1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or
City Council 19 – 127 5/6/2025

Page 7 of 11 ends

2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or
3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income.

The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to moderate income families. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2024-32, will be filed for this project.

Section 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the public hearing, hereby approves that certain concession and those certain waivers or reductions of development standards (deviations), as described in this Resolution and in the City’s Staff Report and as memorialized in Density Bonus Agreement No. 2024-02 in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated as though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to:
the Request for Planning Commission Action dated December 9, 2024, and exhibits City Council 19 – 128 5/6/2025

Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.

Dear Chairwoman Oliva and Santa Ana Planning Commissioners, My name is Patrick Chien and I am writing to express my support for City Ventures’ proposed 45-unit residential townhouse project located at 510-520 N Harbor Blvd. As a working professional in my 30s who just purchased my first home in Santa Ana earlier this year, I support more affordable and attainable housing opportunities, along with more diverse housing options in the city. While Santa Ana is to be applauded for being ahead of the curve in approving rental housing projects versus the other 33 Orange County cities, Santa Ana still suffers from a lack of affordable for-sale housing options for first-time homebuyers. The for-sale housing shortage also hurts the local economy by making it increasingly difficult for local businesses to attract and retain workers like me.

While no one development project will be able to fully alleviate the housing crisis in Santa Ana and Orange County, more opportunities like this provide the ability for prospective first-time homebuyers like me to attain the American dream of homeownership and wealth creation. The proposed 45-unit mixed income project will also allow people who grew up in Santa Ana to find an affordable home to stay and raise their own families in the city.

On behalf of working professionals like myself, I urge you to support the approval and implementation of this mixed-income homeownership project. This will help create homeownership opportunities for Santa Ana residents and also help create a stronger local economy for our businesses.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and please do not hesitate to reach out if you require any further information.

Regards,
Patrick Chien

Re: SUPPORT Item #2 on 12/9: City Ventures - 45 Townhome Units on Harbor Blvd December 6, 2024
Dear Chair Oliva and Members of the Santa Ana Planning Commission, I am writing on behalf of People for Housing OC to express our strong support for the proposed 45-unit townhome development by City Ventures, located on Harbor Boulevard in Santa Ana.

People for Housing OC is the Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) organization for Orange County, California. We represent Orange County residents who support more affordable and attainable housing opportunities and more diverse housing options in our communities. We are especially concerned about the dearth of housing affordable to first-time homebuyers, many of whom are looking for a townhome, condominium, or other multifamily homeownership opportunity.

The proposed 45-unit townhome development by City Ventures on Harbor Boulevard addresses Santa Ana’s pressing housing needs by offering a range of for-sale housing options, including five affordable units for moderate-income families, thereby filling a critical "missing middle" gap in the housing market. The project represents smart growth by transforming underutilized land into a thoughtfully designed, two- to three-story townhouse community, and increasing housing density in a location well-supported by existing infrastructure and amenities.

Its commitment to affordability ensures moderate-income households can achieve homeownership, fostering socioeconomic diversity and equity in Santa Ana. Furthermore, the development adheres to California’s Density Bonus Law and Santa Ana’s Municipal Code, City Council 19 – 190 5/6/2025
aligning with state and local policies aimed at mitigating the housing crisis and promoting sustainable growth.

We understand that new developments can sometimes raise concerns from neighbors.

However, projects like this one are essential to creating thriving, diverse, and sustainable communities. Santa Ana has a rich history of welcoming change and growth, and this project aligns with the city’s forward-thinking approach.

We urge you to approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 2024-02 and Density Bonus Agreement (DBA) No. 2024-02 for this project. By doing so, you will support an initiative that not only addresses Santa Ana’s housing challenges but also provides homeownership opportunities for current and future residents to build their futures in this vibrant city.

Thank you for your consideration and for your continued leadership in addressing the housing needs of Santa Ana and Orange County.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Hansburg

Staff Report
May 6, 2025
TOPIC: Ordinance Adding Article XIV to Chapter 10 (Crimes and Miscellaneous Law Enforcement Provisions) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code Prohibiting the Sale or Distribution of Nitrous Oxide

AGENDA TITLE
Ordinance Adding Article XIV to Chapter 10 (Crimes and Miscellaneous Law Enforcement Provisions) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code Prohibiting the Sale or Distribution of Nitrous Oxide

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a first reading and adopt an ordinance adding Article XIV to Chapter 10 (Crimes and Miscellaneous Law Enforcement Provisions) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code prohibiting the sale or distribution of nitrous oxide:

ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADDING ARTICLE XIV TO CHAPTER 10 OF THE SANTA

ANA MUNICIPAL CODE (CRIMES AND MISCELLANEOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT

PROVISIONS) PROHIBITING THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF NITROUS OXIDE GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
This Ordinance is proposed by the Police Department in response to concerns from the City Council and community about the increasing misuse of nitrous oxide for recreational purposes, which poses risks to public health and safety. Adopting this ordinance will bring the City on par with other regional jurisdictions who have adopted similar ordinances and aid in preserving and protecting public health. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” “nox,” or “whippets,” is a colorless, odorless gas legitimately used in medical, dental, industrial, and food production settings. However, the recreational misuse and abuse of nitrous oxide due to its intoxicating effects has surged regionally and within Santa Ana. The surge in use is driven by its affordability and accessibility through retail vendors who sell the nitrous oxide due to loopholes in existing law. Medical studies highlight significant health risks associated with the City Council 20 – 1 5/6/2025
