AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION <br />NtANGE COUNTY <br />FOR ORANGE COUNTY <br />3160 Airway Avenue • Costa Mesa, California 92626 - 949.252.SI70 fax: 949.252.6012 <br />AGENDA ITEM 2 <br />May 21, 2020 <br />TO: Commissioners Alternates <br />FROM: Lea Choum, Executive Officer <br />SUBJECT: City of Santa Ana Request for Consistency Finding of the Proposed General Plan <br />Amendment and. Zone Change for the Bowery Mixed -Use Development at 2300, <br />2310, and 2320 Red Hill Avenue <br />Background <br />The Bowery is a proposed mixed -use project on a 14.6 acre site located at the southwest comer <br />of Red Hill Avenue and Warner Avenue, approximately 2.25 miles from John Wayne Airport <br />(see Attachment 1 for location). The property is currently zoned by the City of Santa Ana as <br />Light Industrial (M-1), and designated in the General Plan as Professional and Administrative <br />Office (PAO). The current zoning allows uses such as warehouses, wholesale operations and <br />manufacturing uses as well as support commercial businesses. The property has three existing 3- <br />story industrial buildings currently used for warehousing and distribution, research and <br />development, and a temporary City of Santa Ana homeless shelter. <br />The applicant is proposing to redevelop the site with a four -phase mixed -use development that <br />would include up to 1,150 multi -family residential units and up to 80,000 square feet of <br />commercial retail and restaurant space. The project would consist of three five -story mixed -use <br />buildings, one five -story residential building, two single -story commercial buildings and four <br />parking structures six to six -and -a -half stories above ground. In addition, the project would <br />provide approximately 220,000 square feet of open space and recreation amenities for residents <br />including common areas, courtyards, and rooftop decks. <br />The project is being referred to your Commission because of the project's location within the <br />Airport Planning Area for JWA and because the project requires a General Plan Amendment and <br />a Zoning Code change. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning designation from Light <br />Industrial (M-1) to Specific Development (SD), and the City is proposing a General Plan <br />Amendment that would change the designation of the site from Professional and Administrative <br />Office (PAO) to District Center (DC), which would allow the construction of a mixed -use <br />development. <br />75C-903 <br />
