PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
At its regular meeting on April 23, 2018, the Planning Commission by a vote of 6:1 (Nguyen
opposed) recommended that the City Council deny the Third Amendment to Development
Agreement No. 1999-01 (DA No. 2015-02) for the Mater Dei High School campus expansion
project; adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2018-02; and adopt a
resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02 for the Mater Dei High School
Parking Structure and School expansion project located at 1202 West Edinger Avenue. The
Planning Commission made no changes to the recommended actions outlined in the attached
staff report (Exhibit A).
DISCUSSION
Approximately eight years ago, Mater Dei High School submitted a proposal to construct a three
level, 990 -space parking structure on the campus as well as to allow a new two-story educational
building to be built. In 2015, the City Council took action on the project by approving two

entitlements: The certification of an environmental impact report and the approval of an
addendum to an existing development agreement. The original request was for Council to
approve all necessary entitlements (zone change and general plan amendment) at one time;
however, as Mater Dei did not own the 19 properties affected by the proposed project, the City
was unable to move forward with the zone change and general plan amendment applications
due to potential adverse condemnation concerns. As all affected properties are now owned by
the applicant, the remaining entitlements are now able to proceed.
Mater Dei is intending to consolidate their various parking facilities onto the school campus by
constructing the new parking structure. As all parcels are under control of the school, the
applicant is proposing to change the general plan land use designations and rezone the 19
affected parcels to be consistent with the designations for the existing campus. This includes
rezoning the parcels from Single -Family Residence (R-1) to Open Space (0), and changing the
general plan land use designation from Low Density Residential (LR -7) to Institutional (INS). Staff
is supportive of the general plan and zone change requests and is recommending for the
approval of these two requests.
This proposal also consists of a request by Mater Dei for a third amendment to the development
agreement that requests City assistance with the construction of off-site improvements (i.e. new
traffic signal and street demolition and repairs) associated with the parking structure project that are
valued at approximately $1.8 million. Mater Dei is proposing that the City's $1.8 million
contribution be via the completion of three off-site improvements: The installation of a new traffic
signal at Bristol Street and St. Andrew Place, the removal and reconstruction of St. Andrew Place
from Bristol Street to Baker Street, and the installation of a public alley and related improvements
at the east side of the Mater Dei parking structure. The applicant is also proposing language in
the agreement that caps the City's contribution to no more than the value of those improvements,
which is almost $1.8 million. Staff does not support this request and does not recommend
approval.
As an alternative to the City completing the improvements, the Public Works Agency (PWA) has
reduced the scope of work to St. Andrew Place that ensures the street meets City standards but
reduces the cost of the off-site improvements by approximately $450,000. Further, PWA staff is
working with OCTA to include the Bristol Street/St. Andrew Place traffic signal as part of the
Bristol Street Widening Project that is currently underway. If approved, this will reduce the off-
site improvements by another $480,000. The cost for Mater Dei to complete these proposed
alternate improvements is $870,000, $930,000 less than the previous $1.8 million. Based on the
projected budget deficit number presented to City Council for Fiscal Year 2018-19, the City is
unable to recommend any financial commitments to the project. Staff would be supportive of the
alternative workscope and assistance with pursuing with OCTA for the proposed signal
installation if the project applicant is able to fund the gap for the completions of the necessary off-
site improvements. Full-sized plans are available for public viewing in the Clerk of the Council
Office.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development,
Objective #2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private
development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies) and Objective #5
(leverage private investment that results in tax base expansion and job creation citywide).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with recommended actions amending the general plan and
zoning map to reflect school use. However, if the City Council approves the development
agreement amendment requiring the City to construct the necessary roadway improvements, the
cost would be $1.8 million for the original improvements or $870,000 for the alternate proposal.
Staff is not recommending approval of the development agreement amendment.

Executive Summary
Diocese of Orange is requesting approval of three entitlements to complete the expansion process
to the Mater Dei campus located at 1202 West Edinger Avenue. Specifically, the applicant is
requesting approval of a third amendment to the development agreement to allow the city to provide
financial assistance for the construction of the off-site improvements needed for the project. In
addition, the applicant is requesting an amendment application (zone change) to change the zoning
of 19 residential parcels to Open Space (0) and a general plan amendment to change the land use
designation of the 19 parcels to Institutional (INS). These actions will make the zoning and general
plan designations consistent with those of the existing campus. Staff is supportive of the applicant's
request as the requests are consistent with City Council action in 2015 that approved a three level,
990 -space parking structure and a two-story classroom building for the high school. However, due
to funding concerns, staff is unable to recommend approval of the amendment to the development
agreement.

Project Description
Mater Dei High School is requesting approval of three entitlements in order to facilitate an
expansion to the existing campus. The entitlements include the approval of a third amendment to
a development agreement that was first approved in 1995 and amended in 1999 and 2015, and a
zone change and general plan amendment to make the 19 recently acquired residential lots
consistent with the zoning and general plan designations for the Mater Dei campus.
First, the applicant is requesting approval of the third amendment to the development agreement.
The -proposed amendment is a request to provide financial assistance for completing necessary
off-site improvements associated with the parking structure project. As proposed, Mater Dei is
requesting terms be added to the agreement that require the City to contribute approximately
$2,000,000 toward the off-site improvements, which will include the relocation of utilities, street
demolition and repairs, and the installation of a new traffic signal.
To facilitate the expansion project, Mater Dei acquired 19 residential properties that were located
south and east of the existing campus. Now that all parcels have been acquired, changes to the
zoning and general plan designations of the parcels are needed to make the zoning and general
plan designations consistent throughout the campus. This proposal includes zone changes from
Single -Family Residence (R-1) to Open Space (0), and a change in the general plan designation
from Low Density Residential (LR -7) to Institutional (INS).
Protect Background
Mater Dei High School began operations in Santa Ana in 1950. In 1961, the school obtained a
conditional use permit (CUP) to expand its existing classroom facilities. In 1995, the school
received approval of a development agreement, general ,plan amendment and amendment
application (zone change), which approved:a conceptual master plan for the expansion and build
75C-6

Page 3
out of the Mater Dei campus, which included the acquisition of residential properties to the east
and the future vacation of a portion of several streets located directly east of the campus. In
1999, the school received approval to amend the development agreement for the vacation of a
portion of Baker Street, Pomona Avenue, Stanford Avenue and Edinger Avenue and approval of
a revised master plan for the high school, which also included the construction -of a future 46,241
square foot Performing Arts building.
In 2015, the City Council certified an environmental impact report and approved an addendum to
the development agreement to allow construction of a three-level, 9907space parking structure for
the campus as well as a 30,820 square foot, two-story academic building. However, as the 19
properties affected by the proposed project were not under school ownership, staff was unable
to move forward with the zone changes and general plan amendments due to potential adverse
condemnation concerns. As all 19 properties are now owned by the applicant, these remaining
entitlements are able to proceed.
Proiect Analysis
Mater Dei is proposing to expand the existing school campus by constructing a three level, 9007
space parking structure on 19 parcels of land and street segments located south and east of the
existing campus. Additionally, the school is proposing to demolish two older classroom buildings
and construct a new two-story classroom building in the central section of the campus. The
following subsections of this report provide analyses for each of the recommended action items.
Amendment Application
The City, Council's approval of a new parking structure .in 2015 allowed Mater Dei to. move
forward with the acquisition of 19 parcels of land needed for the project. Given the urban nature
of the site, and the lack of available land surrounding the school, the applicant's only option was
to expand into the adjacent single-family residential neighborhood. Approval of this, request will
ensure that one zoning designation will govern the entire campus, with the permitted uses and
development standards for one designation applicable throughout the campus. The existing
campus is located in the Open Space (0) zoning district, which allows educational facilities such
as Mater Dei High School by right. The Single -Family Residence (R-1) zoning district of the new
parcels allows schools subject to issuance of a CUP and has a different set of development
standards. In order to have consistent zoning, uses and development standards for the site, staff
is recommending that the amendment application (zone change) be approved to change the
zoning designation of the 19 residential parcels to the Open Space (0) designation.
General Plan Amendment
The City's .Land Use Element of the General Plan serves as the long-range guide for land use
and development in the City and facilitates growth reflecting the community's vision. In order to
have a clear vision, the land use designation of development sites needs to be consistent
throughout the entire parcel. The General Plan land use designation for the existing campus is
75C-7
Amend DA No. 1999-01, AA No. 2018-02 and GPA No. 2018-02
April 23, 2018
Page 4
Institutional, which allows both govemment and educational uses such as Mater Dei High
School. However, the 19 expansion parcels and adjacent street rights-of-way have a Low
Density Residential (LR -7) land use designation since they were not under.control of the school
when the parking structure project was approved. As these properties are now owned by the
applicant, a general plan amendment is needed to make the 19 parcels and street .right-of-way
consistent with the general plan land use designation of the existing campus.
The proposed general plan land use changes will comply With State law as they will be
consistent with the proposed zoning designations for the parcels. In addition to the amendment
to the General Plan Land Use Plan maps, various text and maps in the General Plan Land Use
Element are proposed to be updated to reflect the master plan of the high school in order to
maintain consistency with the City's General Plan vision. Therefore, the proposed general,plan
amendment to change the land use designations for the 19 parcels is supported by staff.
The parking structure project required the acquisition of 19 residentially zoned properties, which
reduced the amount of housing in the City. The applicant is requesting that these 19 properties
be redesignated to Open Space zoning, and Institutional General Plan land use designation,
which prohibits residential development. To accommodate this loss of housing, the City recently
entitled a residential project on a site on East Fourth Street that was historically used for
industrial purposes. In addition, the City, is in the process of further increasing the availability of
housing though the adoption of zoning amendments to the Bristol Street Specific Plan and the
Metro East Mixed Use Corridor expansion. Both of, these projects will result in an overall
increased in land available for residential development that exceeds the number of units
removed for the Mater Dei project. Therefore, the loss of 19 single-family residential properties
will not impact the inventory of housing opportunity sites needed to achieve City's 2014-2021
RHNA allocation.
Amendment to the Development Agreement
The development agreement is a legal contract between the developer and the City that defines the
terms and nature of development proposed for the project site. This agreement establishes
development intensity, permitted uses and' standards for the term of the agreement. In exchange
for the City vesting approval of the proposed project, the development agreement requires certain
improvements and public benefits.
In 1995, a development agreement was approved between the City and Mater Dei. In 1999, an
amendment was approved between the parties that approved the Mater Dei'2000 Master Plan.
Included in those agreements was language that obligated the City to complete off-street
improvements (streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, etc.) in conjunction with a surface parking lot
expansion project. In 2015, the City approved, another amendment to the agreement to allow a new
three-level parking structure, a new two-story building, and an increase in enrollment. Language
Ment ical to the 1995 agreement requiring the City to complete the off-site improvements was
contemplated in early versions of the 2015 development agreement. However, when the project
moved forward to the Planning Commission and City Council, this language was removed. Mater

1999-01, AA No. 2018-02 and GPA No. 2018-02
Dei is now proposing a third amendment to the development agreement to incorporate language
requiring City participation.for off-site improvements.
The parking structure project will require the completion of several off-site improvements to
facilitate the project. The estimated cost for these off-site improvements is approximately $3.6
million. Mater Dei is proposing that the City contribute to the project by completing the following
three off-site improvements: The installation of a new traffic signal at Bristol Street and St.
Andrew Place, the removal and reconstruction of St. Andrew Place from Bristol Street to Baker
Street, and the installation of a public alley and related improvements at the east side of the
Mater Dei parking structure. These three improvements have an estimated cost of almost $1.8
million. Ther applicant is also proposing to include. in the agreement that will cap the City's
contribution to no more than the value of those improvements, which is almost $1.8 million.
Although the prior agreement had City participation, the current budget condition provides little to
no flexibility in providing funds for private projects. Therefore, staff is recommending denial of
the request to amend the development agreement.
As an alternative to the City completing the improvements, the Public Works Agency has
identified efficiencies to St. Andrew Place that will reduce the cost of the off-site improvements by
approximately $450,000. Further, PWA staff is working with OCTA to pursue another $480,000
in efficiencies as part of the Bristol Street Widening Project that is currently. underway.- At this
time, the $930,000 identified above appears to be the maximum contribution that can be made
by the City.

Document Type Environmental Impact Report No. 2013-01
As part of the City's permitting process, the proposed project is required to undergo an
environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project has been reviewed through previously certified Environmental Impact
Report No. 2013-01.
The certified Environmental Impact Report identified a series of impacts resulting from the
plan. Several mitigation measures were incorporated into the Final EIR, with the
applicable mitigation measures added to the conditions of approval for this project. The
Reason(s) analysis studies several topics, including aesthetics, land use, noise, safety,
Exempt or Analysis transportation and traffic. Further, the EIR included analysis on the rezoning and general
plan redesignation of the parcels to be consistent with the Mater Dei campus, such as
what is proposed for this project.
A determination has been made that there are no new significant impacts or any project
specific significant effects peculiar to this project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA
15183, no additional environmental review is required as the project is consistent with the
development studied under the certified EIR. The previously certified Mater Dei project
EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is the appropriate document for the
actions proposed.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. In 1950, Mater Dei High School began operations in Santa Ana. In 1961, the
school obtained a conditional use permit to expand their existing classroom
facilities.
B. In 1995, the City Council approved a development agreement, amendment
application and general plan amendment in conjunction with a master plan of
development for Mater Dei High School. In 1999, the Council approved an
amendment to the development agreement, allowing an expansion of the high
school campus.
C. In 2015, the City Council approved Final Environmental Impact Report No.
2013-01 and Amendment to Development Agreement No. 1999-01, allowing
the expansion of the campus and the construction of a three-level 1,000 -car
parking structure.
D. Over the past 58 years, Mater Dei High School has been a community asset,
providing religious and educational opportunities to the youth of the
community. In an effort to consolidate current parking facilities onto their
campus, the school is proposing to rezone properties to be consistent with the
existing zoning of the campus.
E. Amendment Application No. 2018-02 has been filed by Mater Dei High School
to change the zoning designation from Single -Family Residence (R-1) to Open
Space (0) for nineteen (19) parcels located on Berkeley Street, Occidental
Street and St. Andrew Place to be consistent with the zoning of the existing high
school campus.
F. The zoning designation of the various parcels as shown on Exhibit A will allow
the redevelopment of these parcels into a parking structure use, thereby
being consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
EXHIBIT 2
75C-13
G. The parking structure project required the acquisition of 19 residentially zoned
properties, which reduced the amount of housing in the City. The Applicant is
requesting that these 19 properties be redesignated to Open Space zoning
and Institutional General Plan land use designation, which prohibits
residential development. To accommodate this loss of housing, the City
recently entitled a residential project on a site on East Fourth Street that was
historically used for industrial purposes. In addition, the City is in the process
of further increasing the availability of housing though the adoption of zoning
amendments to the Bristol Street Specific Plan and the Metro East Mixed Use
Corridor expansion. Both of these projects will result in an overall increase in
land available for residential development that exceeds the number of units
removed for the Mater Dei project. Therefore, the loss of 19 single-family
residential properties will not impact the inventory of housing opportunity sites
needed to achieve the City's 2014-2021 RHNA allocation.
H. On April 23, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance
approving Amendment Application No. 2018-02 which is consistent with the
General Plan, as amended by General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02.
I. The City Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, held a duly noticed
public hearing on May 15, 2018.
J. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request for
Council Action dated May 15, 2018 accompanying this matter.
K. For these reasons, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2018-02 is
hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of
Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, thus changing the zoning
districts is found to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa
Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general
welfare.
Section 2. The City Council has considered the information contained in the
previously approved environmental impact report for the mater Dei High School parking
Structure and School Expansion project (EIR No. 2013-01) prepared with respect to this
project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration of the record as a whole
and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA
Guidelines, the proposed project has been analyzed under the EIR and meets all the
requirements of CEQA.
Section 3 . This ordinance shall not be effective unless and until Resolution No.
2018 -_(General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02) is adopted and becomes effective. If
said resolution and ordinance are for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by
the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for
any reason, then this ordinance shall be null and void and have no further force and effect.
75C-14
Section 4. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
Section 5. If any section, subsection, clause, phrase or portion of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any
court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby
declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 2018-02 AMENDING THE
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION OF
NINETEEN (19) PARCELS LOCATED ON
BERKELEY STREET, OCCIDENTAL STREET AND
ST. ANDREW PLACE FOR THE MATER DEI HIGH
SCHOOL PARKING STRUCTURE AND SCHOOL
EXPANSION PROJECT
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Mater Dei High School is requesting approval of General Plan Amendment No.
2018-02 to amend the General Plan land use designation of 19 parcels located
on Berkeley Street, Occidental Street and St. Andrew Place to be consistent
with the General Plan land use designation of the existing high school campus.
B. On April 23, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a
duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt
a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02.
C. On May 15, 2018, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed
public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to General
Plan Amendment No. 2018-02, at which time all persons wishing to testify
were heard, the project was fully considered, and all other legal prerequisites
to the adoption of this Resolution occurred.
D. General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02 has been filed to amend the General
Plan to change the land use designation of 19 properties located on Berkeley
Street, Occidental Street and St. Andrew Place from Low Density Residential
(LR -7) to Institutional (INS) to be consistent with the General Plan designation of
the existing high school campus.
E. The City Council has considered the General Plan's policies and has
determined that General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02 is consistent with the
purpose of the general plan.
EXHIBIT 3
75C-17
F. The parking structure project required the acquisition of 19 residentially zoned
properties, which reduced the amount of housing in the City. The Applicant is
requesting that these 19 properties be redesignated to Open Space zoning
and Institutional General Plan land use designation, which prohibits
residential development. To accommodate this loss of housing, the City
recently entitled a residential project on a site on East Fourth Street that was
historically used for industrial purposes. In addition, the City is in the process
of further increasing the availability of housing though the adoption of zoning
amendments to the Bristol Street Specific Plan and the Metro East Mixed Use
Corridor expansion. Both of these projects will result in an overall increase in
land available for residential development that exceeds the number of units
removed for the Mater Dei project. Therefore, the loss of 19 single-family
residential properties will not impact the inventory of housing opportunity sites
needed to achieve City's 2014-2021 RHNA allocation.
Section 2. The City Council has considered the information contained in
Environmental Impact Report No. 2013-01 that was prepared with respect to this
project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence
presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, the
proposed project was analyzed in the previously prepared EIR and adequately
addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this
review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued
that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City
Council hereby directs that a Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the
County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law.
Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 735.5(c)(1), the
City Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no
evidence that the proposed Project will have the potential for any significant adverse
effect on wildlife resources or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources
depend. The proposed Project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved
concrete, roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. However, pursuant to
Fish and Game Code § 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR § 735.5, the payment of Fish and
Game Department filing fees in conjunction with this project is at the discretion of the
State of California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Section 3. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the
public hearing hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02. The
amendments to the Land Use Element are attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. This decision is
based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not
limited to: the Request for Council Action dated May 15, 2018, and exhibits attached
thereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein
by this reference.

LAND USE ELEMENT
Residential
The Land Use Plan provides for three distinct residential land use designations.
Residential development is also permitted in two other designations: District
Center and Urban Neighborhood. The Santa Ana Land Use Plan includes the
following residential land use designations:
• The Low Density Residential (LR -7) designation applies to those areas of
the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses. The
allowable maximum development intensity is 7 units per acre. Development
in this category is characterized primarily by single-family homes. This
designation applies to a large proportion of the City (6j"6,456.9 acres)
representing 47 percent of the City's total land area.
• The Low -Medium Density Residential (LMR -11) designation applies.to
those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at
permitted densities of up to 11 units per acre. The land area included in this
designation is approximately 420.6 acres. The great majority of the land
designated as Low -Medium Density Residential is located in the westerly
portion of the City, north and south of First Street. Properties with this
designation are typically characterized by mobile home parks, a mixture of
duplexes and single family residences, or small lot subdivisions.
• The Medium Density Residential (MR -15) designation applies to those
sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at densities of
up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by
duplexes, apartments, or a combination of both. A total of 370.1 acres is
designated as Medium Density Residential. The designation applies to areas
located in the vicinity of downtown, areas north and south of MacArthur
Boulevard, and in other areas where there are established multiple -family
development projects.
CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A_19
75C-22
.LAND USE ELEMENT
The intensity standard for the Urban Neighborhood ranges from a
floor area ration of 0.5 to 3.0; with residential density based on a
combination of floor area ratio and zoning development standards.
A total of 279.1 acres of land. in the City are designated Urban
Neighborhood.
.Industrial
The Industrial designation applies to those areas developed with manufacturing
and industrial uses. The designation applies to areas which are predominantly
industrial in character, and includes those industrial districts in the southwestern,
south central and southeastern sections of the City. A total of 2,152.8 acres ofland
in the City is designated as Industrial. The maximum floor area ratio for this
designation is 0.45.
The Industrial districts of the City are vital to its economic health. These areas
provide employment opportunities for local residents, and generate municipal
revenues for continued economic development. As one of the County's oldest
cities, Santa Ana has longbeen an industrial center for the region. The City's goal
is to maintain this strong industrial base by setting land use policies which
preclude the intrusion of less intensive commercial or residential uses. Typical
uses found in this district include the following:
• Light and heavy product manufacturing and assembly.
• Commercial uses which are ancillary to industrial uses in the district.
Institutional
The Institutional designation includes the Civic Center, other governmental
facilities, City facilities and public institutions such as schools, etc. Only public
properties of approximately five acres or more are designated as Institutional. The
maximum applicable floor area ratio standard for this designation is 0.5. The 0.5
FAR is used as a guideline since most development in this designation are State,
federal, and local governmental facilities that are not subject to local development
regulations. A total of49"800.6 acres of land is included in this designation.
Open Space
The Open Space designation is applied.to parks, water channels, cemeteries and
other open space uses.,A total of 1,010.9 acres are included in this land use
designation. Of this total, 358 acres ofpublic park land is included in this land use
designation.

Metro East District Center, Transit Village District Center, Downtown District Center, Heritage Disldm Center, and Urban Neighborhood areas. The Harbor Condor
District Center, Metro East District Center, Transit Village District Center, Downtown District Center, and Urban Neighborhood areas allow a range of intensity for
mixture of residential and non-residential development based on the zoning development standards. Residential effective capacity was calculated by adding the

2 Land use designation permits both residential and non-residential development Build -out assumes 90% of land area will be developed as commercial and 10%
will be developed as residential; with the exception of Town and Country Manor project Intended for continuum of care and housing seniors.
a Land use designation permits high intensity office development with ancillary retail use.

LAND USE ELEMENT
Residential
The Land Use Plan provides for three distinct residential land use designations.
Residential development is also permitted in two other designations: District
Center and Urban Neighborhood. The Santa Ana Land Use Plan includes the
following residential land use designations:
The Low Density Residential (LR -7) designation applies to those areas of
the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses. The
allowable maximum development intensity is 7 units peracre. Development
in this category is characterized primarily by single-family homes. This
designation applies to a large proportion of the City (6x,16&96,456.9 acres)
representing 47 percent of the City's total land area.
The Low -Medium Density Residential (LIvIR-11) designation applies to
those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at
permitted densities of up to 1 I units per acre. The land area included in this
designation is approximately 420.6 acres. The great majority of the land
designated as Low -Medium Density Residential is located in the westerly
portion of the City, north and south of First Street. Properties with this
designation are typically characterized by mobile home parks, a mixture of
duplexes and single family residences, or small lot subdivisions.
The Medium Density Residential (MR -15) designation applies to those
sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at densities of
up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by
duplexes, apartments, or a combination of both. A total of 370.1 acres is
designated as Medium Density Residential. The designation applies to areas
located in the vicinity of downtown, areas north and south of MacArthur
Boulevard, and in other areas where there are established multiple -family
development projects.
CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-19
75C-34
LAND USE ELEMENT
The intensity standard for the Urban Neighborhood ranges from a
Floor area ration of 0.5 to 3.0; with residential density based on a
combination of Floor arca ratio and zoning development standards.
A total of 279.1 acres of land in the City are designated Urban
Neighborhood.
Industrial
The Industrial designation applies to those areas developed with manufacturing
and industrial uses. The designation applies to areas which are predominantly
industrial in character, and includes those industrial districts in the southwestern,
south central and southeastern sections ofthe City. A total of 2,152.8 acres ofland
in the City is designated as Industrial. The maximum floor area ratio for this
designation is 0.45.
The Industrial districts of the City are vital to its economic health. These areas
provide employment opportunities for local residents, and generate municipal
revenues for continued economic development. As one of the County's oldest
cities, Santa Ana has long been an industrial center for the region. The City's goal
is to maintain this strong industrial base by setting land use policies which
preclude the intrusion of less intensive commercial or residential uses. Typical
uses found in this district include the following:
• Light and heavy product manufacturing and assembly.
• Commercial uses which are ancillary to industrial uses in the district.
Institutional
The Institutional designation includes the Civic Center, other governmental
facilities, City facilities and public institutions such as schools, etc. Only public
properties of approximately five acres or more are designated as Institutional. The
maximum applicable floor area ratio standard for this designation is 0.5. The 0.5
FAR is used as a guideline since most development in this designation are State,
federal, and local governmental facilities that are not subject to local development
regulations. A total of -796-.6800.6 acres of land is included in this designation.
Open Space
The Open Space designation is applied to parks, water channels, cemeteries and
other open space uses. A total of 1,010.9 acres are included in this land use
designation. Of this total, 358 acres of public park land is included in this land use
designation.

ORDINANCE NO. NS-XXXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA APPROVING AMENDMENT
APPLICATION NO. 2018-02 REZONING NINETEEN (19)
PROPERTIES LOCATED ON BERKELEY STREET,
OCCIDENTAL STREET AND ST. ANDREW PLACE FROM
RESIDENTIAL TO OPEN SPACE FOR THE MATER DEI
HIGH SCHOOL PARKING STRUCTURE AND SCHOOL
EXPANSION PROJECT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. In 1950, Mater Dei High School began operations in Santa Ana. In 1961, the
school obtained a conditional use permit to expand their existing classroom
facilities.
B. In 1995, the City Council approved a development agreement, amendment
application and general plan amendment in conjunction with a master plan of
development for Mater Dei High School. In 1999, the Council approved an
amendment to the development agreement, allowing an expansion of the high
school campus.
C. In 2015, the City Council approved Final Environmental Impact Report No.
2013-01 and Amendment to Development Agreement No. 1999-01, allowing
the expansion of the campus and the construction of a three-level 1,000 -car
parking structure.
D. Over the past 58 years, Mater Dei High School has been a community asset,
providing religious and educational opportunities to the youth of the
community. In an effort to consolidate current parking facilities onto their
campus, the school is proposing to rezone properties to be consistent with the
existing zoning of the campus.
E. Amendment Application No. 2018-02 has been filed by Mater Dei High School
to change the zoning designation from Single -Family Residence (R-1) to Open
Space (0) for nineteen (19) parcels located on Berkeley Street, Occidental
Street and St. Andrew Place to be consistent with the zoning of the existing high
school campus.
F. The zoning designation of the various parcels will allow the redevelopment of
these parcels into a parking structure use, thereby being consistent with the
goals and objectives of the General Plan.
Exhibit G Ordinance No. NS-xxxx
Page 1 of 4
75C-41
G. The parking structure project required the acquisition of 19 residentially zoned
properties, which reduced the amount of housing in the City. The Applicant is
requesting that these 19 properties be redesignated to Open Space zoning
and Institutional General Plan land use designation, which prohibits
residential development. To accommodate this loss of housing, the City
recently entitled a residential project on a site on East Fourth Street that was
historically used for industrial purposes. In addition, the City is in the process
of further increasing the availability of housing though the adoption of zoning
amendments to the Bristol Street Specific Plan and the Metro East Mixed Use
Corridor expansion. Both of these projects will result in an overall increase in
land available for residential development that exceeds the number of units
removed for the Mater Dei project. Therefore, the loss of 19 single-family
residential properties will not impact the inventory of housing opportunity sites
needed to achieve the City's 2014-2021 RHNA allocation.
H. On April 23, 2018, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance
approving Amendment Application No. 2018-02 which is consistent with the
General Plan, as amended by General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02.
I. The City Council, prior to taking action on this ordinance, held a duly noticed
public hearing on May 15, 2018.
J. The City Council also adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request for
Council Action dated May 15, 2018 accompanying this matter.
K. For these reasons, and each of them, Amendment Application No. 2018-02 is
hereby found and determined to be consistent with the intent and purpose of
Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, thus changing the zoning
districts is found to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa
Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general
welfare.
Section 2. The City Council has considered the information contained in the
previously approved environmental impact report for the mater Dei High School parking
Structure and School Expansion project (EIR No. 2013-01) prepared with respect to this
project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration of the record as a whole
and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA
Guidelines, the proposed project has been analyzed under the EIR and meets all the
requirements of CEQA.
Section 3 . This ordinance shall not be effective unless and until Resolution No.
2018 -_(General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02) is adopted and becomes effective. If
said resolution and ordinance are for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by
the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise does not go into effect for
any reason, then this ordinance shall be null and void and have no further force and effect.
Ordinance No. NS-xxxx
Page 2 of 4
75C-42
Section 4. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the
City of Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all liability,
claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its approval of this
project, and any approvals associated with the project, including, without limitation, any
environmental review or approval, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence of
the City of Santa Ana.
Section 5. If any section, subsection, clause, phrase or portion of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any
court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby
declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or portions be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
