Planning and Building Agency <br />Item # 2 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Planning Commission Staff Report <br />September 25, 2023 <br />Topic: Residential Development at Site Plan Review No. 2023-02 and Density Bonus <br />Agreement No. 2023-02 (322 N. Harbor Blvd.) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />1. Adopt a resolution approving Site Plan Review No. 2023-02 as conditioned. <br />2. Adopt a resolution approving Density Bonus Agreement No. 2023-02 as <br />conditioned. <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />The Jager Company, Ltd. (applicant), on behalf of P&P Bros Corp. (property owner), is <br />requesting approval of site plan review (SPR) No. 2023-02 and density bonus agreement <br />(DBA) No. 2023-02 to allow the construction of a rental residential development consisting <br />of twenty-two apartment units, with two units proposed as affordable to very low-income <br />households earning less than 50-percent of the area median income (AMI), on a 0.34-acre <br />site located at 322 North Harbor Boulevard. As proposed, the project requires review and <br />approval of an SPR as the development would be over three stories in height. In addition, <br />the project will utilize waivers from development standards and/or development concessions <br />through the density bonus agreement pursuant to California Government Code sections <br />65915 through 65918 and Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-1600 through 41- <br />1607. Moreover, the project requires approval by the Planning Commission and City Council <br />for a density bonus to allow up to 64.71 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The request satisfies <br />the purpose and intent of the Harbor Mixed Use Corridor Specific Plan (SP2) to provide <br />additional affordable housing stock to an underserved segment of the region's population. <br />As a result, staff recommends approval of the SPR and DBA. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Table 1: Project and Location Information <br />Item <br />Information <br />Project Address and Council Ward <br />322 N.
