will incorporate new recommendations to sidewalks, public gathering places, and local amenities, <br />in order to reach and accommodate all residents. Current development trends show that high <br />residential density is feasible and realistic, and appropriate to accommodate housing for all <br />income levels and can be accommodated on the alternative parcel sites. Sites that have been <br />redeveloped include social lodges, religious facilities, office buildings, and industrial buildings, <br />older/smaller multi-family residential and single-family units. <br />Table 3 <br />Distribution of Units by Disability <br />Affordable <br />Mixed <br />Income Total <br />< 10% 94% 92% 93% <br />10%–20% 6% 8% 7% <br />20%–30% 0% 0% 0% <br />30%–40% 0% 0% 0% <br />> 40%0% 0% 0% <br />Total 4,222 9,648 13,870 <br />Exempt Sites <br />The exempt sites designated by the City are primarily located along the west and east sides of <br />17th Street and Tustin Avenue to the east. These areas are generally outside of the City’s Focus <br />Areas and not targeted for redevelopment under the General Plan. Similar to the Alternative sites, <br />most of the exempt sites are in neighborhoods where less than 10 percent of the population has <br />a disability. The City’s AB 2011 implementing ordinance exempts these parcels from streamlining <br />provisions, while identifying one or more Alternative sites to ensure no net loss of permitted <br />residential density. <br />Conclusion <br />For populations with disabilities, both the Alternative and Exempt sites are in areas where less <br />than 10 percent of the population is affected. However, the Alternative sites are primarily situated <br />in the central and northern parts of the City, where zoning and land use plans encourage multi- <br />family development. These areas also benefit from excellent public transit options, including rapid <br />bus lines, the OC Streetcar, and connections to the broader Metrolink system through the Santa <br />Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC). As a result, these locations are well-positioned to <br />attract new investment. The development of these sites has the potential to improve conditions <br />for both new and existing residents, offering additional services and enhancing the quality of life <br />for the entire community. <br />ATTACHMENT 3
