EXHIBIT 4 <br /> Goal 3 of the HE supports the Increase in opportunities for <br /> extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income <br /> individuals and families to find affordable housing, and afford <br /> a greater choice of rental and homeownership opportunities. <br /> Policy 3.2 encourages expanding home homeownership <br /> opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents and <br /> workers in Santa Ana through the provision of financial <br /> assistance, education, and collaborative partnerships. <br /> The project is a 100-percent affordable housing project, <br /> providing six lower income households the opportunity to <br /> obtain homeownership status. Policy 3.5 encourages <br /> collaboration with nonprofit organizations, community land <br /> trusts, developers, and other government agencies to develop <br /> and provide affordable housing for residents.

Strict adherence to this setback requirement <br /> would result in a reduction in the number of units that can be <br /> provided in the overall project, thus reducing the Applicant's <br /> ability to achieving the density bonus to which the Applicant is <br /> entitled under the Density Bonus Law and affecting the <br /> feasibility to construct the project.
