Staff Report
August 19, 2025
TOPIC: Caltrans Encampment Delegated Maintenance Agreement
AGENDA TITLE
Encampment Delegated Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation for Right-of-Way Maintenance Services and Appropriation of $400,000 in Reimbursement Funding (Project No. 26-6423) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve an Encampment Delegated Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation for the City to provide encampment abatement, litter and debris removal, weed abatement, and graffiti removal within Caltrans’ right-of-way, with Caltrans reimbursing the City up to $200,000 annually for two years through June 30, 2027 for a total amount not to exceed $400,000 (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
2. Approve an appropriation adjustment in the amount of $400,000 to the Public Works Agency Services, Contract Services-Professional expenditure account (No. 05317021-62300), funded by reimbursements recorded in the City Services Expense Reimbursement revenue account (No. 05317002-57000) (Requires five affirmative votes.)
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement and any subsequent related documents, including amendments and exhibits, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City has experienced a noticeable increased in transient-related activities along state highway rights-of-way (“State ROW”), including illegal encampments, littering, and vandalism. These issues have not been adequately addressed by Caltrans. As a result, residents, business owners, community stakeholder groups, and the City Council have persistently raised concerns and call for the City to address safety, sanitation, and the physical deterioration at local on and off ramps, particularly at key gateway locations along the I-5 and SR-55 corridors.

Caltrans Encampment Delegated Maintenance Agreement
August 19, 2025
5 2
8 1
The Public Works Agency Maintenance Services Division (“PWA”) is responsible for the maintenance of the City’s right-of-way areas including street medians, linear parks, neighborhood entry areas, and arterial sidewalk areas citywide. The services include, but are not limited to, mowing, weed mitigation, graffiti removal, trash removal and disposal, and Quality of Life Team (“QOLT”) cleanups. The Division prides itself on providing rapid response to many of the cleanliness issues located in the right-of-way and other public facilities within the City’s jurisdiction. The requests PWA receives for service along the State ROW, while within city limits, are owned by the State and maintained by Caltrans. This significantly limits PWA’s ability to respond to public and City Council concerns. Despite numerous actions taken by the City, from repeated notifications to State officials, with limited success, to in some cases taking the initiative to locally clean the State ROW, the City has been informed by the State that it is precluded from accessing all areas under Caltrans’ jurisdiction, leaving the City without any reasonable ability to address City Council and public concerns.
Under the leadership and with strong support and advocacy by the Mayor and City Council to State and local Caltrans officials, emphasizing the urgency and need for the State and Caltrans to address the visibly deteriorating conditions, Caltrans engaged with the City and agreed to enter into an Encampment Delegated Maintenance Agreement (“EDMA”) which allows the City to perform maintenance services such as encampment removal, weed abatement, graffiti removal, and trash and debris removal on a reimbursement basis (Exhibit 1). The agreement provides for the City to be reimbursed up to $200,000 per year for two years. The City would perform routine maintenance services as well as as-needed encampment removals at the following 11 locations:
•Seventeenth Street and Penn Way – On/Off Ramps
•Buffalo Avenue and Main Street – Southbound Off Ramp
•Santiago Creek Underpass at Broadway
•Grand Avenue – On/Off Ramps and Underpass
•Eastside of Freeway – Between Stafford Street and Mabury Street •Southside of Freeway – Between Logan Street and Lincoln Avenue •Fourth Street – Northbound Off-Ramp
•Fourth Street – Southbound On/Off-Ramps
•Hesperian Street and Bristol Street – On/Off Ramps and Underpass •Dyer Road – On/Off Ramps and Underpass
•MacArthur Boulevard – Southbound On-Ramp
Staff estimates routine maintenance costs for these areas to be approximately $150,000 per year with the balance available for encampment removals or other additional cleanup efforts. The City will be able to mobilize immediately after the Agreement takes effect.
To facilitate regularly scheduled maintenance and rapid response by PWA to public and City Council service requests, staff will return to City Council in the near future for the award of a maintenance contract to augment staff’s efforts in performing these services.

The Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the augment services has already been released and will close on September 18, 2025.
Staff recommends approving the proposed Agreement to allow for local control over the frequency and quality of maintenance in Caltrans right of way areas visible and accessible via city streets allowing the City to bring these areas to the same standard of care as City right-of-way.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, funds will be budgeted and available for this item in the accounts and project number listed below. A project number has been assigned to accurately categorize anticipated expenditures related to contracts, materials, and labor, as needed. As indicated in the discussion, expenditures will be reimbursed by Caltrans therefore there will be no net impact to the budget.
Subsequent funding for the renewal options, if exercised, will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration.

Resolution and Agreement Authorizing Police Corporal Ryan Johnson to Purchase a Retired Santa Ana Police Department K-9
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase agreement between Santa Ana Police Corporal Ryan Johnson and the City of Santa Ana for the sale of a retired Santa Ana Police Department K-9.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department Canine Unit utilizes police service dogs trained specifically to assist with different patrol functions. The police service dogs serve as a valuable officer safety resource during tactical and high-risk situations. The police service dogs are used to find and apprehend violent suspects, providing officers with additional safety options when apprehending a suspect. In addition to enforcement duties, the Canine Unit performs public relations activities that enhance the crucial bond between the Police Department and community members. During public events, community members are able to “meet and greet” the police service dogs and observe live bite and detection demonstrations.

Resolution and Agreement for Police Department K-9 Kaylee August 19, 2025
5 2
7 2
Police Corporal Johnson worked alongside his K-9 partner, Kaylee, since 2018. Kaylee is an 11 year old Belgian Malinois; the average retirement age for police service dogs. At her age and physical condition, it would be impractical to keep her in service as a K-9 team with Corporal Johnson. During their assignment as a K-9 team, Kaylee has lived with Corporal Johnson for over seven years.
As Kaylee retires, Corporal Johnson wishes to purchase Kaylee for the standard fee of one dollar ($1). Police Corporal Johnson will assume ownership and full responsibility for the care, maintenance, food, housing, medical, and any other expenses that arise out of Corporal Johnson’s ownership of Kaylee. In order to provide a consistent home and care for K-9 Kaylee, it is recommended that the agreement between Corporal Johnson and the City of Santa Ana be approved.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The one dollar ($1) payment from Corporal Johnson for the purchase of K-9 Kaylee will be deposited into the Police Department’s Miscellaneous Reimbursement revenue account (no. 01114002-57402).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At its April 15, 2025 regular meeting, the City Council, with unanimous support, directed staff to draft an ordinance based on the Costa Mesa group home ordinance to establish local regulations for group homes for the Council’s consideration that are consistent with the Federal Fair Housing Act Amendments of 1988 (FFHA), the California Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA), and recent caselaw. The proposed regulations will preserve the characteristics of residential neighborhoods, provide opportunities for the disabled to reside in a residential zone that is enjoyed by the non-disabled, and provide a broader range of housing opportunities to the disabled.
Planning Commission Action – June 23, 2025
On June 23, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the project and voted 5:0:2, with Commissioners Leo and Ramos absent, to recommend that the City Council approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) No. 2025-01. The Planning Commission did not provide a recommendation on the proposed amendments to Chapter 8 nor on the proposed resolution to establish permit fees as they are not within the purview of the Commission.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana is proposing to amend portions of Chapter 41 (Zoning) and to add Article XXIII to Chapter 8 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) to establish a regulatory framework for the location, licensing, permitting, and operational requirements of group homes. The proposed amendment also includes modifications to definitions.
These amendments are intended to reflect current state and federal laws and implement best practices. In addition, the recommended actions include adoption of a resolution (Exhibit 2) establishing fees for Group Home Special Use Permits and Group Home Operator’s Permits.
The proposed ordinance, attached to this report (Exhibit 1), includes Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2025-01 and Ordinance Amendment No. 2025-01. Zoning Ordinance No. 2025-01 would amend Chapter 41 and Ordinance Amendment No. 2025-01 would amend Chapter 8 (Buildings and Structures) of the SAMC. Table 1 below and on subsequent pages illustrates key provisions of the proposed amendments to both Chapter 41 and Chapter 8.

Background
Like many other cities in California, Santa Ana has experienced a rise in the number of group homes within single-family residential neighborhoods. The proliferation of group homes has led to an increase in code enforcement complaints and calls for service from residents relating to impacts associated with such uses.
The FFHA and FEHA prohibit discrimination against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, family status and disability through zoning or other land use practices. Because of these laws, cities cannot develop zoning or land use regulations that would discriminate against individuals with disabilities. As defined by the FFHA and FEHA, persons with disabilities are individuals with mental or physical impairments that substantially limit one or more major life activities. Such disabilities include but are not limited to blindness, mobility impairment, mental illness, learning disabilities, and alcoholism and drug addiction.
Present Status in Santa Ana
The City’s ability to limit the impacts of group homes on the community are regulated by state and federal legislation. Current provisions of the SAMC do not clearly define group homes. In addition, the SAMC does not expressly identify or allow these uses; rather, the SAMC only specifies residential uses in general terms and such facilities have established in residential zones without any type of zoning permit approval. Because of this, the City’s Code Enforcement Division has encountered challenges in its efforts to regulate group homes. Furthermore, the City has witnessed an increasing amount of clustered group

homes locating within the City’s residential neighborhoods that are functioning similarly to that of an institutionalized facility, which can disrupt the neighborhood character envisioned by the City’s General Plan.
Based on state and City data, 74 sober-living homes are estimated to be operating in Santa Ana, of which 11 are licensed facilities and 63 are suspected to be unlicensed facilities.
Because of their unlicensed status, the total number of these operations are not certain.
State Licensing and Requirements
The state has established a licensing system for certain group homes that provide certain type of care and supervision. These state licensed facilities are designed to accommodate individuals who may require 24-hour supervision but who do not need extensive medical care. These facilities provide services to a diverse group of individuals and vary in size and capacity. Such facilities include intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled, community care facilities, residential care facilities for the elderly, residential care facilities for the chronically ill, alcoholism and drug abuse facilities, pediatric day health and respite care facilities, residential health care facilities (including congregate living health facilities), family care homes, foster homes, and group homes for the mentally disordered or otherwise disabled persons or dependent and neglected children.
These types of licensed facilities are regulated by the Department of Social Services (DSS), Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), or Department of Public Health (DPH), which fall under the supervision of the Health and Human Services Agency (HHS) of the State of California. Each department has its own review and application process and such facilities are inspected annually.
State law makes it clear that cities cannot regulate state licensed group homes that provide care and services to six (6) or fewer individuals. In addition, cities cannot regulate living arrangements in which the occupants operate as a “single housekeeping unit.” Pursuant to state law, licensed group homes serving six or fewer persons and single housekeeping units shall be considered a residential use of property for zoning purposes. Licensed group homes and single housekeeping units must be treated like single-family residences for zoning purposes. Therefore, these types of facilities must be permitted in all residential zones in which single-family residences are allowed, with the same development and parking standards of a single-family residence. However, local jurisdictions do have the ability to regulate (subject to some state and federal limitations) unlicensed group homes of any occupant size and licensed group homes that care for seven (7) or more individuals.
Costa Mesa Group Home Ordinance
The City of Costa Mesa has successfully established a precedent for the regulation of group homes and sober-living facilities through its municipal ordinances, which include requirements for special or conditional use permits and a 650-foot separation distance.
These regulations faced significant legal scrutiny under the FFHA and the Americans with

Disabilities Act (ADA), with challenges alleging discrimination against individuals with disabilities. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in The Ohio House, LLC v. City of Costa Mesa, ultimately affirmed Costa Mesa's ordinances. This ruling confirms that local jurisdictions can implement such regulations if they demonstrably benefit individuals with disabilities by fostering appropriate living environments, rather than solely imposing restrictions, and are not based on discriminatory intent. This outcome provides a critical framework and legal support for the City of Santa Ana as it proceeds with the proposed ordinance modeled after Costa Mesa's approach to regulate group homes and sober-living facilities within its residential neighborhoods.
Table 2 below and on the following page illustrates how key provisions in the proposed ordinance are consistent with the provisions in the City of Costa Mesa’s ordinance, thereby demonstrably benefiting individuals with disabilities by fostering appropriate living environments. Adopting an ordinance consistent with Costa Mesa's successfully litigated framework offers a legally sound approach, thereby enhancing the proposed ordinance's effectiveness in regulating group homes and sober-living facilities while mitigating future legal vulnerabilities for the City.

General Plan Consistency
ZOA No. 2025-01 and OA No. 2025-01 are consistent with various goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, these actions are consistent with Housing Element (HE) Goal 2 (a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents and workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community), Policy HE-2.5 (diverse housing types), HE Goal 4 (adequate rental and ownership housing opportunities and supportive services for seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and people experiencing homelessness), Policies HE-4.3 and HE-4.7 (provide housing for disabled people to live independent lives and provide regulatory oversight), Community Element (CE) Policy CM-
3.2 (support the creation of healthy neighborhoods), Land Use Element (LU) Policy LU-
1.1 (foster compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles), Policy LU-4.6 (support diverse housing types that promote a healthy environment), and Policy LU-4.7 (promote mixed housing types to create inclusive communities).
Group Home Special Use Permit and Operator’s Permit Application Review Fees Miscellaneous Fees are intended to recover the City’s costs associated with delivering the corresponding services and, in accordance with state law, cannot exceed the City’s actual costs in delivering said service.
With the adoption of ZOA No. 2025-01, the City would require unlicensed group homes with six or fewer occupants to obtain a newly established Group Home Special Use Permit. In addition, with the adoption of OA No. 2025-01, the City would require group homes with seven or more occupants to obtain a newly established Group Home Operator’s Permit.
Neither of these permits were contemplated in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Miscellaneous Fees Schedule and the Planning and Building Agency is proposing to establish a new Group Home Special Use Permit application fee of $4,565 and a new Group Home Operator’s Permit application fee of $3,310.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines, the adoption of this Ordinance (“Project”) is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The Project is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The amendments provide definitions and standards to regulate the location, operation, and licensing of group homes and do not authorize new development or changes in density or intensity of land use. Moreover, the Project is categorically exempt from further review per Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines. This exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The Project merely establishes administrative and land use oversight procedures for group homes already operating or proposed within existing residential structures, and will not expand the existing use. None of the exceptions to the use of categorical exemptions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to the Class 1 exemptions or this ordinance. Specifically, the Project will not result in cumulative impacts, will not affect any scenic or historic resources, and will not involve unusual circumstances leading to a significant impact.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption and implementation of the ordinance requires the adoption of new fees to allow the City to recover the staff time required for administering the proposed new regulations.
City departments required to develop and administer the regulations include:
•Planning and Building Agency (Administrative Services, Code Enforcement, and Planning divisions)
•Information Technology
•City Attorney’s Office
The proposed ordinance has a net neutral fiscal impact, as the passage of the ordinance would generate fiscal impacts to the City in the form of additional expenditures offset by new revenues. Based on best available data for the 74 existing known and suspected residential care and group home facilities, staff estimates one-time permit revenues of approximately $358,000 and approximately $17,000 in total annual permit revenues thereafter. Such revenues recover the City’s costs associated with equipment, materials, and personnel.
Existing permit fees include those for processing Conditional Use Permit, Environmental Review, and Development Project Review applications. The new aforementioned Planning and Building Agency fees are intended to recover the full cost associated with reviewing Group Home Special Use Permit and Group Home Operator’s Permit applications.

HOMES AND LAND USE DEFINITIONS , REGULATING
SUCH USES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DISABLED AND

UNDER STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3),
15061(C)(2), 15060(C)(3), AND/OR 15301(C)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Under the California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7, the City has been granted broad polic e powers to preserve the residential character of residential neighborhoods, which powers have been recognized by both the California Supreme Court and United States Supreme Court, the latter of which has stated that, “It is within the power of the legisla ture to determine that the community should be beautiful as well as healthy, spacious as well as clean, well-balanced as well as carefully patrolled” (Berman v. Parker (1954) 348 U.S. 26, 33).
B. Courts have held that cities have the right to regulate both the number of people who may reside in a residence and the manner in which the residence is used as long as such regulations do not unfairly discriminate or impair an individual’s rights of privacy and association (see, e.g., City of Santa Barbara v. Adamson (1980) 27 Cal.3d 123, 131–34; Ewing v. City of Carmel-By-The-Sea (1991) 234 Cal.App.3d 1579, 1595–98).
C. The Federal Fair Housing Act Amendments of 1988 (“FHAA”) and the California Fair Employment Housing Act (“FEHA”) prohibit enforcement of zoning ordinances that would on their face or otherwise have the effect of discriminating against equal housing opportunities for the disabled.
D. A core purpose of the FHAA, FEHA , and California’s Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (“Lanterman Act”) is to provide a broader range of housing opportunities to the disabled; to free the disabled, to the extent possible, from institutional style living; and to ensure that disabled persons have the opportunity to live in normal residential surroundings and use and enjoy a dwelling in a manner similar to the way a dwelling is enjoyed by the non-disabled.
City Council
22 –
10 8/19/2025
Ordinance No. NS-XXX
E. To fulfill this core purpose, the FHAA and FEHA require that the City grant an exception to its zoning ordinances if the exception is both reasonable and necessary to accommodate a person’s legal disability to afford the disabled person an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
F. Several state laws require the City to treat state licensed residential care facilities serving six or fewer as a residential us e, such that it is permitted in residential zoning districts (see, e.g., Health and Safety Code, §§ 1267.8, 1566.3, 1568.0831, and 11834.23). A report conducted by the 2022 –2023 Grand Jury for the County of Orange found that the resulting deinstitutionaliz ation of group living arrangements for the disabled has had a positive effect upon the disabled.1
G. The City’s goal in enacting this Ordinance is to preserve the residential characteristics of residential neighborhoods, and to provide opportunities for the disabled to reside in residential zones that are enjoyed by the non-disabled.
H. Over the past several years the region has seen a significant increase in the number of residential homes being utilized as alcohol and drug re covery facilities for large numbers of individuals (“sober-living homes”).
I. The increase appears to be driven in part by the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 adopted by California voters, which provides that specified first-time drug and alcohol offenders are to be afforded the opportunity to receive substance abuse treatment rather than incarceration.
J. The Affordable Care Act has also significantly expanded the availability of health care coverage for substance abuse treatment.
K. The region has seen a sharp increase of sober-living homes, which has generated community outcry and complaints including, but not limited to overcrowding, inordinate amounts of second-hand smoke, and noise; and the clustering of sober- living facilities in close pro ximity to each other creating neighborhoods of sober - living homes (see Ohio House LLC v. City of Costa Mesa (9th Cir. 2024) 122 F.4th 1097, 1127).
L. This increase in sober -living homes has become a rising concern for cities statewide as local officials are in some cases being bombarded with complaints from residents about the proliferation of sober-living homes; conferences drawing local officials from around the state are being held discussing what to do about challenges associated with sober -living homes; and the appropriate regulation of sober-living homes has been the topic of several League of California Cities meetings.

Ordinance No. NS-XXX
M. The state Legislature has recognized the need to prevent overconcentration of residential facilities that impairs the integrity of res idential neighborhoods and leads to the institutionalization of such neighborhoods, which undermines the benefits of deinstitutionalization (Cal. Health & Saf. Code §§ 1520.5 & 1267.9). To that end, state law allows applications for new residential facilit y licenses to be denied if the facility’s location is near an existing residential facility, thereby resulting in overconcentration.
N. Overconcentration of other group homes for the disabled, including sober -living homes, impairs the integrity of residential neighborhoods and undermines the benefits of deinstitutionalization. The number of sober -living homes in the region is rapidly increasing, leading to an overconcentration of sober -living homes in many cities.
O. The purpose of sober-living homes is to provide a comfortable living environment for persons with drug or alcohol addictions in which they remain clean and sober and can participate in a recovery program in a residential, community environment, and so that they have the opportunity to reside in the neighborhood of their choice.
P. Individuals recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction, who are not currently using alcohol or drugs, are considered disabled under both the FHAA and FEHA.
Q. This Ordinance and the balance of the City’s zoning provide a benefit to group homes by allowing these facilities to locate in residential neighborhoods, whereas a similarly situated and functioning home with non -disabled tenants would be defined as a boarding house and continue to be prohibited in all zoning districts.
R. Group homes (including sober -living homes) typically do not function as a single housekeeping unit for the following reasons: (1) they house transient populations (programs are generally about 90 days and, a 2005 UCLA study found that 65–70 percent of individuals recovering from addiction leave even earlier ); (2) the residents generally have no established ties to each other when they move in and typically do not mingle with other neighbors; (3) neighbors generally do not know those who resi de in the home, nor do the residents know the neighbors; (4) the residents have little to no say about who lives or doesn’t live in the home; (5) the residents do not generally share expenses; (6) the residents are often responsible for their own food, laundry and phone; (7) when residents disobey house rules they are often evicted from the house; (8) the residents generally do not share the same acquaintances; and (9) residents often pay significantly above -market rate rents.
The lack of single -housekeeping-unit characteristics contributes to institutional living conditions.
S. The size and makeup of the households in group homes, even those allowed as a matter of right under the Code, can create institutional living conditions because they tend to be larger than average single housekeeping units, creating impacts on water, sewer, roads, p arking and other City services that are far greater than the average household, in that the average number of persons per California household is 2.86. A sober-living facility allowed as a matter of right can house six

Ordinance No. NS-XXX
residents plus a resident manager, which is more than twice the average California household size.
T. All individuals residing in a sober -living facility are generally over the age of 18, while the average household in the United States has just 1.96 individuals over the age of 18 according to federal census data.
U. Because of their transient populations and above -average numbers of adults residing in a single home, group homes (including sober -living facilities) present impacts to residential neighborhoods not typically associated with more traditional single-family uses, which contributes to the institutionalization of residential neighborhoods and residential care environments, which in turn reduces the benefits of residential environments for disabled residents in group living arrangements. These impacts include: the housing of large numbers of unrelated adult who may or may not be supervised; excessive noise and outdoor smoking, which interferes with the use and enjoyment of residential neighborhoods; little to no interaction with the neigh borhood; irresponsible operators with a history of opening facilities in complete disregard of the Code and with little regard for impacts to the residential environment; disproportional impacts from the average dwelling unit to nearly all City services in cluding sewer, water, parks, libraries, transportation infrastructure, fire and police; a history of congregating in the same general area.
V. Among other things, this Ordinance establishes a 650 -foot distance requirement between group homes, which provides many opportunities for the operation of group homes within the City and still results in preferential treatment for group homes that serve disabled individuals as compared to group homes serving non - disabled individuals in a similar living situation (i.e. , in boarding house-style residences) which cannot operate in residential zones.
W. Housing inordinately large numbers of unrelated adults in a single -residence or congregating group homes in close proximity to each other does not provide the disabled with an opportunity to “live in normal residential surroundings,” but rather subjects them to living environments that resemble the types of institutional living that the FEHA and FHAA were designed to provide relief from for the disabled, and which no reasonabl e person could contend provides a life in a normal residential surrounding.
X. Notwithstanding the above, the City Council recognizes that, when operated responsibly, group homes (including sober-living homes) provide a societal benefit by providing the disa bled the opportunity to live in residential neighborhoods, as well as providing recovery programs for individuals attempting to overcome their drug and alcohol addictions. Providing greater access to residential zones to group homes, including sober-living homes, than to boarding houses provides a benefit to the City and its residents.
Y. Without sufficient, appropriate regulation, there is no way to ensure that the individuals entering into a group home are disabled individuals and entitled to the protections under local and state law; that a group home is operated professionally

to minimize impacts to the character of residential neighborhoods; and that the secondary impacts which cause the institutionalization of group homes due to concentration of both gr oup homes in a neighborhood and large numbers of unrelated adults residing in a single facility in a single home are lessened.
Z. In addition to group homes locating in residential neighborhoods, other state - licensed residential care facilities are also taking up residence in residential neighborhoods.
AA. The purpose of group homes for the disabled is to provide the disabled an equal opportunity to comfortably reside in residential neighborhoods of their choice.
BB. ZOA No. 20 25-01 and OA No. 2025 -01 are consistent with various goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, these actions are consistent with Housing Element (HE) Goal 2 (a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana’s residents and workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community), Policy HE-2.5 (diverse housing types), HE Goal 4 (adequate rental and ownership housing opportunities and supportive services for seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and people experiencing homelessness), Policies HE -4.3 and HE -4.7 (provide housing for disabled people to live independent lives and provide regulatory oversight), Community Element (CE) Policy CM -3.2 (support the creat ion of healthy neighborhoods), Land Use Element (LU) Policy LU -1.1 (foster compatibility between land uses to enhance livability and promote healthy lifestyles), Policy LU -4.6 (support diverse housing types that promote a healthy environment), and Policy LU-4.7 (promote mixed housing types to create inclusive communities).
CC. On June 23, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly -noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public tes timony concerning ZOA No. 202 5-01, at which time t he Planning Commission recommended that the C ity Council adopt the proposed o rdinance, with the exception of Section 28, which amends Chapter 8 of the SAMC and is not within the purview of the Planning Commission.
DD. On August 19 , 202 5, the C ity Council held a duly -noticed public hearing and considered the staff report, recommendations by staff, and public tes timony concerning the proposed ordinance.
