<br /> <br />CITY EXPENDITURES <br /> <br />RSG utilized the additional population of the Project to estimate the total added expenditures by <br />the City General Fund to service the Project. RSG assumed that each studio would house 1.20 <br />residents, each one-bedroom unit would house 1.75 residents, each two-bedroom unit would <br />house 3 residents, and each three-bedroom unit would house 4.25 residents. Overall, this works <br />out to an average household size of approximately 2.16 residents per unit, which we consider <br />supportable given the unit mix that is more heavily weighted towards one-bedroom configurations <br />(Fig. 2). <br /> <br />Figure 2 <br /> <br />While Santa Ana as a whole has a much higher average household size, many of the denser <br />residents live south of 17th Street. By comparison, within a 0.5-mile radius of this site, average <br />household sizes are approximately 2.65 persons, which include both single family and multifamily <br />housing, and an overall larger unit sizes with two or more bedrooms. Rent levels and bedroom <br />sizes are often a driver of occupancy, as these units are expected to rent at the top end of the <br />Santa Ana rental market, we anticipate renters to be more affluent and smaller households than <br />what is found elsewhere in the City, and more like what exists in newer complexes being <br />constructed today. <br /> <br />RSG gathered data from the US Census and ESRI Business Analyst Online to estimate the <br />equivalent full-time residents of the Project. Approximately 14 percent of Santa Ana residents <br />work within the City, which, in effect means that the City of Santa Ana is servicing these <br />Studio <br />12% <br />1 Bd. <br />59% <br />2 Bd. <br />21% <br />3 Bd. <br />8% <br />Number of Units Per Type <br />Source: RSG, Inc. <br />Unit Type # of <br />Units % <br />Studio 62 12% <br />1 Bd.304 59% <br />2 Bd.108 21% <br />3 Bd.43 8% <br />TOTAL 517 100% <br />2-288
