The following table summarizes the estimated fiscal impacts attributed to the Project. Year-by
<br />year projections are included as an exhibit at the end of this report.

<br />
<br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION
<br />
<br />The Project site is located at 2525 N. Main Street in Santa Ana, across from the Orange County
<br />Discovery Science Center at the northeast corner of Main Street and Edgewood Road. The P
<br />(Professional)-zoned site is approximately 5.9 acres and is currently developed as a single two-
<br />story office building and paved parking lot. The building has been vacant for several months,
<br />following the closure of the data center operated by Wells Fargo about a year ago.
<br />
<br />After many years of lower rents and oversupply, Orange County is beginning to see an increase
<br />in demand and rents for office space, with some first-tier areas (such as Irvine and Newport
<br />Beach) beginning to experience new construction of Class A properties. However, this has not
<br />yet occurred in central Orange County and Santa Ana, where rents are not sufficiently high to
<br />support the cost of construction.
<br />
<br />Shortly after acquiring the office building from the Trust that held it for many years, Wells Fargo
<br />listed the property for sale in early 2017. By August 2017, the Developer purchased the property
<br />for purposes of redevelopment into luxury apartments. The Developer is currently developing
<br />another (larger) apartment and commercial project on Dyer Road, just west of Red Hill Avenue in
<br />Santa Ana in the location of a former industrial building. Central Orange County has seen a recent
<br />growth of infill luxury and market rate apartment construction, particularly in areas where office
<br />and other commercial uses are no longer viable. In this case, the Project entails development of
<br />517 units of apartments, an 8-story, 910-space parking structure, and an amenity deck
<br />comparable to what is found among many newer apartment complexes built in area.
