RESOLUTION NO. 2023-XXX <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF <br />THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING DENSITY BONUS <br />AGREEMENT NO. 2023-02 AS CONDITIONED FOR A NEW <br />RENTAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH TWENTY <br />TWO UNITS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 322 <br />NORTH HARBOR BOULEVARD (APN: 198-051-17) <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA <br />ANA AS FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. The Jager Company, Ltd. (Applicant), on behalf of P&P Bros Corp. <br />(Property Owner), is requesting approval of Density Bonus Agreement <br />(DBA) No. 2023-02 and concurrent Site Plan Review (SPR) No. 2023-02 to <br />allow the construction of a rental residential development, consisting of <br />twenty-two apartment units with two units proposed as affordable to very <br />low-income households earning less than 50 percent of the area median <br />income (AMI) for the property located at 322 N. Harbor Boulevard. <br />B. The Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan was adopted in 2014 <br />to lay the foundation for a more livable and sustainable corridor by creating <br />zoning to allow for new housing and mixed -use development opportunities, <br />providing development flexibility to meet market demands, using a <br />multimodal approach to circulation, and creating a stronger identity for the <br />area. The regulating plan, which establishes land uses and development <br />standards, allows a variety of housing and commercial projects, including <br />affordable residential communities, live/work units, service and retail, and <br />professional offices. <br />C. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in base <br />density for providing on -site housing units in exchange for providing affordable <br />units on site. To help make constructing on -site affordable units feasible, the <br />law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers that would <br />help the project be built without significant burden and without detriment to <br />public health. <br />D. The Applicant's request has been thoroughly evaluated by the City's <br />Development Review Committee (DRC) through Development Project No. <br />2022-03. Through this review, the DRC has considered the subject site, <br />proposed development, and the Applicant's requests for <br />incentives/concessions and waivers pursuant to the State's Density Bonus <br />Law. <br />9/25/2023 <br />Planning Commission 2 — 21 <br />Resolution No. 2023-XXX <br />Page 1 of 12 <br />
