During the Planning Commission public hearing and Sunshine Ordinance community meeting, the
public raised concerns about potential parking impacts to the neighborhood. Those concerns were
addressed by clarifying that each unit is providing a two -car garage and two surface parking spaces
for a total of 32 parking spaces for the development site, which meets the City's required parking. In
addition, all units will contain a maximum of three bedrooms.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval of the subject entitlements to facilitate the construction of an 8-
unit condominium development at 301 and 305 North Mountain View Street. It is recommended that
the City Council approve the project because the project demonstrates high -quality site planning,
design, and amenities, and contributes to the City's housing stock through the production of new entry
level home -ownership opportunities. In addition to the applicants request and as part of this
application, the City is also proposing to change the land use designation and zoning of adjacent
properties to create consistency between the Land Use Element and Zoning Code. The proposed
amendment will clean up the general plan land use designation and zoning of the block, which will
encourage a cohesive development pattern.
Project Description
The project consists of the construction of an 8-unit condominium development with four separate
buildings. The units are approximately 1,800 square feet in size, consisting of three bedrooms and
3.5 bathrooms, and contain an attached 400-square foot two -car garage. The project's buildings
are designed in a cohesive manner with unifying materials, floor heights, and articulation using
contemporary architecture in a Spanish style and includes a variety of architectural elements such
as smooth stucco, arches above windows and doors, window shutters, tile and ironwork, and clay
roof tiles. The site will be accessed from a driveway at the southwest corner of the site, with an
internal drive aisle providing access to each unit. The project provides two garage parking spaces
per unit and two surface parking spaces per unit in each unit's driveway. In addition, communal
bicycle racks are also provided at the center of the site. The project provides a total of 2,064-
square feet of common onsite open space, which has been designed to include grass play areas,
benches, trash and recycle receptacles, bike racks, and pedestrian lighting. Lastly, private open
space for each unit is provided through backyards and patios, which range in size from 360 to 850
square feet.
General Plan Amendment
The applicant is requesting a GPA to change the subject site's current land use designation from
Low -Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) to Medium Density Residential (MR-15) to create
consistency between the General Plan Land Use Element and the Zoning Map. The MR-15
designation applies to those areas of the City that are developed with residential uses at densities of
up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by duplexes, townhomes,
or apartments. In reviewing a GPA request for a project such as the one proposed, the Planning
Division's practice has been to also analyze any potential general plan land use inconsistencies in
the general vicinity of the proposed project. Due to this and as part of the this application, the City is
also proposing to change the land use designation of the adjacent properties on the block stretching
from First Street to Fifth Street to bring consistency between the Land Use Element and the Zoning
Map.
Currently, the subject site and the surrounding properties on the east side of Mountain View Street
have a LMR-11 or General Commercial (GC)1aprLuse designation. However, all of the properties are
ER No. 2018-83, GPA No. 2020-04 & AA No. 2020-02
December 1, 2020
Page 3
developed with residential uses with numerous properties currently exceeding the maximum allowed
density permitted in the LMR-11 land use designation. The densities surrounding this area range from
4.8 to 18.8 dwelling units per acre. As a result, staff is recommending that the general plan land use
designation of the project site and surrounding properties be changed to MR-15 and Low Density
Residential (LR-7). Changing the land use designations will bring the General Plan Land Use Plan
into closer consistency with existing residential development density and characteristics in the area
and will allow for consistent development intensity for future projects.

Amendment Application (Zone Change)
The applicant is seeking approval of an AA (zone change) to change the zoning designation of the
property from General Agricultural (Al) to Two -Family Residence (R2). The R2 zoning designation
is the appropriate designation for the subject site, which allows for duplexes and similar medium -
density residential developments. In addition, staff is proposing to change the zoning designation
of the surrounding properties to make the general plan and zoning consistent. The subject site and
surrounding properties include properties zoned Al, R2, and Suburban Apartment (R4). As it is
unlikely that the existing uses will transition to agricultural related uses, a zone change is
appropriate.
The project will be consistent with Goal 2 of the Housing Element, which encourages diversity of
quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's
residents and workforce of all household types, income levels and age groups to foster an inclusive
community. The proposed project will encourage the construction of entry level housing that will
provide an opportunity for entry level home ownership. The project would also be consistent with
goals of the Land Use Element, including Goal 1 to promote a balance of land uses to address
basic community needs, and Goal 6 to reduce residential overcrowding by promoting public health
and safety. The proposed project will provide additional market rate housing in the City, thereby
assisting in addressing the shortage of available housing within the region.

Pursuant to CEQA, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) with technical studies was prepared for
the project. No areas of significance were identified from the construction or operation of the
proposed project. The project requires adoption of a MMRP, which contains mitigation measures to
address biological resources, geology and soils, noise, tribal cultural resources, and cultural
resources. On June 8, 2020, the draft MND was circulated to interested parties and the notice of
intent (NOI) was published in the Orange County Register and posted with the State's
Clearinghouse. The draft MND was available for public review at the City Hall and on the project's
webpage on the City's website. All comments received by interested parties were included in the
final document.
Public Notification and Community Outreach
Advertising and notification of the public hearing for this item was conducted in compliance with
Section 27-15 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). On December 20, 2020, notification by
mail was mailed to all property owners, occupants, and other interested parties within 500 feet of the
project site in accordance with SAMC requirements and a newspaper posting was published in the
Orange County Register in accordance with SAMC requirements.
On June 8, 2020, the draft MND was circulated for 30 days to interested parties and the Notice of
Intent (NOI) was published in the Orange County Register and posted with the State's
Clearinghouse. The draft MND was available for public review at the Santa Ana City Hall and on the
project's webpage on the City's website.

Salgado Community Center in Rosita Park (706 North Newhope Street) in accordance with the
provisions of the City's Sunshine Ordinance. A total of six members of the public attended. The
applicant provided all the required information to the City after the meeting. Lastly, the applicant
provided a project update to the community at the Riverview West Neighborhood Association
meeting of August 25, 2020. 75D-4

Resolution No. 2020-xx
Page 1 of 20
75D-6
D. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA),
Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq., as amended, and the
CEQA Guidelines require the evaluation of environmental impacts in
connection with proposals for discretionary projects.
E. Pursuant to the Guidelines for the Implementation of the CEQA, an Initial
Study relative to the proposed project concluded that implementation of the
project could result in potentially significant effects on the environment and
identified mitigation measures for the development site (301 and 305
North Mountain View Street) that would reduce the significant effects to a
less -than -significant level.
F. The City of Santa Ana prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND),
Environmental Review (ER) No. 2018-83, for the proposed project which
reflects the City's independent judgement and analysis as lead agency for
the project. The MIND concluded that the project site would have a less than
significant environmental impact with implementation of mitigation
measures. Mitigation measures are included to address biological
resources, geology and soils, noise, hydrology and water quality, tribal
cultural resources and cultural resources.
G. On June 8, 2020, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt the Initial Study and
MND, ER No. 2018-83, was published in the Orange County Register
newspaper, circulated to interested parties, and the State Clearinghouse.
H. The documents related to the MND were made available for a 30-day public
review and comment period at the Santa Ana City Hall and on the project's
webpage on the City's website. At the completion of the comment period,
comments from Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and the Gabrieleno
Ban of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation were received and incorporated to the
Final MIND.
I. The mitigation measures set forth in the MND are fully enforceable and will
be implemented using the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
J. On December 1, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly
noticed public hearing and voted to approve a resolution to adopt MND, ER
No. 2018-83, and the related MMRP for the project.
Section 2. The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the
information contained in the Initial Study and the MND, ER No. 2018-83, 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 CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the MND adequately addresses
the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City
Council finds that there is no substantial evidence from which it can be fairly argued that
the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
Resolution No. 2020-xx
Page 2 of 20
75D-7
Section 3. The City Council hereby adopts the MND, attached hereto as
Exhibit A, and MMRP, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and 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. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the
above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for City Council
Action dated December 1, 2020 and exhibits attached hereto; and the public testimony,
written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. 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 5. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies,
authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims,
demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether
legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative
dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and
such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively "Actions"),
brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents,
departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to
modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the
City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or
concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown
Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision
Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or
local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to
approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing
the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and
expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense.
City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate
with Applicant in the defense of the Action.

The following is a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Mountain
View Avenue Condominiums located at 301 and 305 Mountain View Avenue, Santa Ana, CA.
This MMRP has been prepared pursuant to Section 15097 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code. The MMRP
lists all applicable Project Mitigation Measures (MM) and environmental commitments that are
required to be implemented with the Project under existing Standard Condition Plans, Programs,
and Policies (SC) for implementing environmental resource protection legislation. This MMRP
includes implementation timing and responsible party to ensure proper enforcement of all MM
and SC to reduce Project impacts. The City of Santa Ana, as the Lead Agency, will utilize the

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. Steve Jones with Olympia Capital Corporation, representing Mountain View
Real Estate Investments, LLC. ("Applicant") is requesting approval of
General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2020-04 to amend the General Plan
land use designation of the properties located at 301 and 305 North
Mountain View Street from Low Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) to
Medium Density Residential (MR-15) and to update text portions of the
City's Land Use Element to reflect this change in order to facilitate
construction of an 8-unit condominium development.
B. In addition, the City of Santa Ana is proposing to change the land use
designation of the properties located at 4310, 4314, 4318, 4322, 4326 and
4330 West Fifth Street, 113, 117, 121, 201, 203, 207 and 211 North

West First Street from General Commercial (GC) to MR-25.
C. On October 26, 2020, 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 GPA No. 2020-04.
75D-26 Resolution No. 2020-xx
Page 1 of 5
D. On December 1, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly
noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to
GPA No. 2020-04, 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.
Section 2. The General Plan Amendment consists of amendments to the Land
Use Element and text updates, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Section 3. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed General Plan
Amendment is compatible with the objectives, policies, and general plan land use
programs specified in the General Plan for the City of Santa Ana in that:
A. The City of Santa Ana has officially adopted a General Plan.
B. The land uses authorized by the General Plan Amendment, and the
General Plan Amendment itself, are compatible with the objectives,
policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan,
for the following reasons:
The proposed General Plan land use designation for the project area
is MR-15, which applies to multiple -family developments
characterized by duplexes, apartments, and townhomes with a
maximum allowable intensity of 15 dwelling units per acre. This
change is consistent with Table A-3 (Correlation of Land Use
Designation and Zoning Districts) of the General Plan Land Use
Element.
ii. The subject project site and the surrounding properties on the east
side of Mountain View Street have a LMR-11 or General
Commercial (GC) land use designations, however, the properties
are developed with residential uses, with numerous properties
currently exceeding the maximum allowed density permitted in the
LMR-11 land use designation. The densities surrounding this area
range from 4.8 to 18.8 dwelling units per acre. Changing the land
use designations will bring the General Plan Land Use Plan into
close consistency with existing residential development density and
characteristics in the area and will allow for consistent development
intensity for future projects.
iii. The general plan amendment will support several goals and policies
of the General Plan, including the Land Use Element and Housing
Element. Specifically, the project will be consistent with Land Use
Element, Goal 1 to promote a balance of land uses to address basic
community needs. Policy 1.5 states a desire maintain and foster a
variety of residential land uses. The project will provide eight for -
sale condominium units. Policy 2.10 supports new development
which is harmonious in scale and character with existing
75D-27 Resolution No. 2020-xx
Page 2 of 5
development in the area. The project is similar in scale and
character to the adjacent multi -family uses. Policy 3.1 supports
development which provides a positive contribution to
neighborhood character and identity. The project will allow for
redevelopment of an underutilized lot with a new residential
development with a contemporary design and variety of building
materials. Housing Element, Goal 2 encourages a diversity of
quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that
accommodate Santa Ana's residents and workforce of all
household types, income levels, and are groups to foster an
inclusive community. Policy 2.5 facilitates diverse types, prices and
size of housing, including single-family homes, apartments,
townhomes, mixed/multiuse housing, transit oriented housing,
multi -generational housing and live work opportunities. The project
will provide a for -sale condominium product with units that range in
size that are targeted to entry level home ownership.
Section 4. The GPA will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and
welfare in that the GPA will not result in incompatible land uses on adjacent properties,
inconsistencies with any General Plan goals or policies, or adverse impacts to the
environment.
Section 5. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the
public hearing hereby approves GPA No. 2020-04. 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 Planning
Commission Action dated October 26, 2020, the Request for Council Action dated
December 1, 2020, and exhibits attached hereto; and the public testimony, written and
oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 6. The City Council approves GPA No. 2020-04 as set forth in Exhibit
A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, subject to compliance with the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth below:
A. Subject to compliance with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, the Land Use Element map and text shall be amended to read
as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
B. The General Plan Amendment shall not take effect unless and until
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP), Environmental Review No. 2018-83 and
Amendment Application (AA) No. 2020-02 are adopted by the City
Council.

LAND USE ELEMENT
Residential
The Land Use Plan provides for three distinct residential land use designations.
Residential development is also permitted in three other designations: District
Center, One Broadway Plaza 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 6 465.9`,� 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 414.4444H 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 375.63694 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.

Harbor Boulevard, and other major arterial roadways in the City. The
intensity standard applicable to this designation is a floor area ratio of 0.5 -
1.0, though most General Commercial districts have a FAR of 0.5. A total of
858.1959.6 acres of land is included in this designation.
General Commercial districts are key components in the economic
development of the City. They provide highly visible and accessible
commercial development along the City's arterial transportation corridors. In
addition, General Commercial land uses provide important neighborhood
facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and
entertainment activities, employment, and education. The districts also
provide support facilities and services for industrial areas including office and
retail, restaurants and various other services.
The General Commercial development standards are based upon the
character and intensity of development, as well as the degree of access and
market demand for these properties. The relationships to adjacent land uses,
are also considered. Uses typically located in this district are:
• Business and professional offices;
• Retail and service establishments;
• Recreational, cultural, and entertainment uses; and
• Vocational schools.
General Commercial Districts have a floor area ratio of0.5 with the exception
of the Mid -town area which has an floor area ratio of up to 1.0.
i�iRMM
The Land Use Plan provides for two distinct mixed use land use designations.
These designations allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use
developments, with an emphasis on linkages to a range of transportation
options:
The District Center (DC) land use designation includes the major activity
areas in the City. Seven areas of the City, totaling 685.4 acres, are designated
as District Center. The intensity standard for the District Center designation
ranges from a floor ratio of 1.0 to 5.0.
District Centers are designed to serve as anchors to the City's commercial
corridors, and to accommodate major development activity. District Centers
are to be developed with an urban character that includes a mixture of high-
rise office, commercial, and residential uses which provide shopping,
business, cultural, education, recreation, entertainment, and housing
opportunities. Residential developments within some District Centers are
allowed at a density of up to 90 units per acre when developed as an integral
component of a master planned mixed use project. In Harbor Corridor, Metro
East, Downtown, and Transit Village District Centers residential jJ�(� kn

Redevelopment Plans. The City will apply redevelopment tools associated
with the implementation of the adopted redevelopment plans, as appropriate.
The City will encourage the further development of industrial, commercial,
and residential projects in suitable locations to strengthen the City's tax and
employment base.
Special Studies. In certain instances, a special study may be required to
address a particular issue. In these cases, a specific effort to identify staff
resources needed to conduct the appropriate investigation and analysis will be
identified.
Zoning Code Review. The zoning code serves as a primary tool used by the
City to regulate development. The City will develop a program to revise the
Zoning Ordinance to ensure that development regulations and standards are
consistent with community needs and high quality development. The City
will initiate appropriate changes to the ordinance to ensure, where
appropriate, conformity between the Land Use Element and Zoning Map.
LAND USE PLAN BUILDOUT
As indicated previously, the City of Santa Ana has been almost completely
developed for many years. As a result, any new development will necessarily
consist of redevelopment and infill development on the remaining vacant and
underutilized parcels. Many parcels with nonresidential land use designations
will never be developed to the maximum intensity permitted under the General
Plan.
Table A-4 indicates the development possible under the build -out of the Land
Use Plan. The build -out for residential land uses considered two scenarios.
Effective build -out for residential development is calculated by adding the 21,896
units possible in the areas designated as District Center and Urban Neighborhood
to the existing 74,669 units presently found in the City per Census 2000.
Theoretical build -out for residential development considered the development
possible if all of the areas designated as residential were developed according to
the permitted Land Use Plan intensities. Since the Land Use Element does not
contemplate the elimination of existing housing in the City, the effective build -out
figure represents a more realistic estimate of future residential development.
As indicated in TableA-4, three of the non-residential land use designations have
a range in FAR intensities. For the non-residential land use designations, effective
build -out considered the development possible under the lower range of FAR
intensities while theoretical build -out considered the upper FAR range. Typically,
parking and landscaping requirements will result in significantly less floor area
for commercial and industrial developments than that which is permitted under
the General Plan.
As indicated in Table A-4, between 77,350q4-,344 to 96,565 housing units are
allowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in the
City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout
CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN
75D-36 A-33
LAND USE ELEMENT
scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple -family developments
constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. However, the purpose of the Land Use Plan
as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of
existing neighborhoods, regardless of the character of development. The intent of
the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development
densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City
residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through
this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City
code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses.
The Land Use Element's implementation may result in an increase in the
amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As
indicated in Table A-4, up to 31,774,605 4�-000,4o T square feet ofcommercial and
office, and 42,199,991 square feet of industrial development are possible under the
effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan.

The project's buildings are designed in a cohesive manner with unifying materials, floor heights,
and articulation using contemporary architecture in a Spanish style and includes a variety of
architectural elements such as smooth stucco, arches above windows and doors, tile and
ironwork, and roof tiles.
The site will be accessed from a driveway at the southwest corner of the site, with an internal
drive aisle providing access to each unit. The project provides two garage parking spaces per
unit and two surface parking spaces per unit in each unit's driveway. In addition, communal
bicycle racks are also provided at the center of the site.
The project provides an 835-square foot central common open space area between Buildings B
and C. In addition, two 615-square foot common open space areas are provided, one between
Buildings A and B and the other between Buildings C and D. The common open space areas will
include grass play areas, benches, trash and recycle receptacles, bike racks, and pedestrian
lighting. Private open space for each unit is provided through backyards and patios. As detailed
in Table 26, the backyards and patios range in size from 360 to 850 square feet.
Project and Site Background
The project site was originally developed in 1959 with a single-family residence; a second single-
family residence was constructed in 1963. Both structures are proposed to be demolished as part of
this application. In July 2018, the Planning Division received the subject application and, since then,
the applicant has been working with the City to refine the site plan and elevations.
In accordance with the Sunshine Ordinance, the applicant held a community meeting on October
16, 2018 to review the proposed development and proposed land use and zoning changes and
receive feedback from the community and adjacent property owners and residents. The applicant
provided all the required information to the City after the meeting (Exhibit 12). In addition, the
applicant provided an update to the community at the Riverview West Neighborhood Association
meeting of August 25, 2020. The meeting was held at 6:15 p.m, via a GoToMeeting virtual platform
which was attended by 12 residents. The community raised concerns about potential parking
impacts to the neighborhood. Those concerns were addressed by clarifying that each unit is
providing a two -car garage and two surface parking spaces for a total of 32 parking spaces for the

development site, which meets the Citys required parking. In addition, all units will contain a
maximum of three bedrooms.
Analysis of the Issues
General Plan Amendment
The applicant is requesting a GPA to change the subject site's current land use designation from
Low -Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) to Medium Density Residential (MR-15) to create
consistency between the General Plan Land Use Element and the Zoning Map. The MR-15
designation applies to those areas of the City that are developed with residential uses at densities
of up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by duplexes,
townhomes, or apartments. In reviewing a GPA request for a project such as the one proposed, the
Planning Division's practice has been to also analyze any potential general plan land use
inconsistencies in the general vicinity of the proposed project. Because of this and part of the this
application, the City is also proposing to change the land use designation of the adjacent properties
on the block stretching from First Street to Fifth Street to bring consistency between the Land Use
Element and the Zoning Map. The proposed GPA for the entire area was discussed during the
Sunshine Ordinance community meeting and is analyzed in the prepared MND.
Currently, the subject site and the surrounding properties on the east side of Mountain View Street
have a LMR-11 or General Commercial (GC) land use designation. However, all of the properties
are developed with residential uses with numerous properties currently exceeding the maximum
allowed density permitted in the LMR-11 land use designation. The densities surrounding this area
range from 4.8 to 18.8 dwelling units per acre. Because of this, staff is recommending that the
general plan land use designation of the project site and surrounding properties be changed to MR-
15 and Low Density Residential (LR-7), as shown on Map A. Changing the land use designations
will bring the General Plan Land Use Plan into closer consistency with existing residential
development density and characteristics in the area and will allow for consistent development
intensity for future projects.

The project supports several goals and policies of the Housing Element. First, the project will be
consistent with Goal 2, which encourages diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living
experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's residents and workforce of all household types,
income levels and age groups to foster an inclusive community. The proposed project will
encourage the construction of entry level housing that will provide an opportunity for home
ownership. Second, the project would support Goal 4, to provide adequate rental and ownership
housing opportunities and supportive services. Further, the project would be consistent with Policy
HE-2.4 to facilitate diverse types, prices and sizes of housing. The project would also be consistent
with goals of the Land Use Element, including Goal 1 to promote a balance of land uses to address
basic community needs, and Goal 6 to reduce residential overcrowding by promoting public health
and safety. The proposed project will provide additional market rate housing in the City, thereby
assisting in addressing the shortage of available housing within the region.
Amendment Application (zone Change)
The applicant is also requesting to change the zoning designation of the property from General
Agricultural (Al) to Two -Family Residence (R2). The R2 zoning designation is the appropriate
designation for the subject site, which allows for duplexes and similar medium -density residential
developments. In addition, staff is proposing to change the zoning designation of the surrounding
properties to make the general plan and zoning consistent, as shown on Map B below. As it is
unlikely that the existing uses will transition to agricultural related uses, a zone change is
appropriate. The subject site and surrounding properties include properties zoned Al, R2, and
Suburban Apartment (R4). In addition, the City is proposing to drop the Planned Residential
Development (PRD) suffixes for three properties in order to streamline redevelopment of such
properties, should they be redeveloped. The proposed AA for the entire area was discussed
during the Sunshine Ordinance community meeting and is analyzed in the prepared MND.

Tentative Tract Mao
The requested tentative tract map would allow subdivision of the property for condominium
ownership purposes. Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the
SAMC. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act (SMA),
applications for tentative tract maps are approved when it can be shown that findings can be made
in support of the request. Specifically, findings related to the proposal being consistent with the
General Plan, the site is in conformance with all applicable City ordinances, the project site is
physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project, the proposed project will not
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or
their habitat, the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems, or the proposed
project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property
must be made. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms
the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the applicant's request, staff
believes that the following analysis warrants approval of the tentative tract map.
The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative parcel map to subdivide the property into eight
airspace condominium units and one common area lot. The condominium units will contain
approximately 1,900 square feet in size and the common lot will contain approximate 17,400 square
feet. In reviewing the project, staff determined that the proposal as conditioned is consistent with the
various provisions of the SAMC and General Plan, including lot size, lot frontage, and lot coverage.
No adverse environmental impacts to fish or wildlife populations were identified as the project site is
located in a built -out, urbanized area. In addition, conditions of approval are included requiring the
applicant to enter into a property maintenance agreement and to submit Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions (CC&Rs) to the City for review. The CC&Rs will ensure long-term maintenance of the
landscaping, parking, buildings, and common amenities. Finally, the tentative map is consistent with
the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapters 34 and 41 of the Municipal Code.

Economic Development
Based on the development of the eight condominiums, the City is expected to generate
approximately $64,000 in permit fees. The project will also increase the property tax for the
property. The property currently has an assessed value of approximately $1.2 million. Upon
completion of the project, the estimated assessed value of the property is approximately $4
million. Based on the $4 million valuation, the estimated annual tax revenue to the City is
approximately $5,200 (not including an expected two -percent annual increase).
Conclusion
Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
adopt a resolution adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, Environmental Review No. 2018-83, for Tentative Tract Map No. 2019-02 and adopt a
resolution approving Tentative Tract Map No. 2019-02 as conditioned. Further staff recommends
that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution adopting
Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Environmental
Review No. 2018-83, for General Plan Amendment No. 2020-04 and Amendment Application No.
2020-02, adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2020-04, and adopt an

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADOPTING A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING
PROGRAM, ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW NO. 2018-
83, RELATIVE TO TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO.
2019-02 FOR THE PROJECT LOCATED AT 301 AND
305 NORTH MOUNTAIN VIEW STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Steve Jones with Olympia Capital Corporation, representing Mountain View
Real Estate Investments, LLC. ("Applicant"), is requesting approval of
Tentative Tract Map ("TTM") No. 2019-02 in order to facilitate the
construction of an 8-unit condominium development at 301 and 305 North
Mountain View Street.
B. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 ("CEQA"),
Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq., as amended, and the
CEQA Guidelines require the evaluation of environmental impacts in
connection with proposals for discretionary projects.
C. Pursuant to the Guidelines for the Implementation of the CEQA, an Initial
Study relative to the proposed project concluded that implementation of the
project could result in potentially significant effects on the environment and
identified mitigation measures that would reduce the significant effects to a
less -than -significant level.
D. The City of Santa Ana prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND"),
Environmental Review (ER) No. 2018-83, for the proposed project which
reflects the City's independent judgement and analysis as lead agency for
the project. The MND concluded that the project would have a less than
significant environmental impact with implementation of mitigation
measures. Mitigation measures are included to address biological
resources, geology and soils, noise, hydrology and water quality, tribal
cultural resources and cultural resources.
E. On June 8, 2020, a Notice of Intent (NO]) to adopt the Initial Study and
MND, ER No. 2018-83, was published in the Orange County Register
newspaper, circulated to interested parties, and the State Clearinghouse.
Resolution No. 2020-xx
75D-67 Page 1 of 20
F. The documents related to the MND were made available for a 30-day public
review and comment period at the Santa Ana City Hall and on the project's
webpage on the City's website. At the completion of the comment period,
comments from the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and the
Gabrieleno Ban of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation were received and
incorporated to the Final MND.
G. The mitigation measures set forth in the MND are fully enforceable and will
be implemented using the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
H. On October 26, 2020, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana
held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to approve a resolution to adopt
MND, ER No. 2018-83, and the related MMRP for the project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and
analyzed the information contained in the Initial Study and the MND, ER No. 2018-83,
prepared with respect to this project. The Planning Commission has, as a result of its
consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined
that, as required pursuant to the CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the MND
adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis
of this review, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence from
which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the
environment.
Section 3. The Planning Commission hereby adopts the MIND, attached
hereto as Exhibit A, and MMRP, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and 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. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the
above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning
Commission Action dated October 26, 2020 and exhibits attached hereto; and the public
testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations (CCR) §
735.5(c)(1), the Planning Commission 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 5. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies,
authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims,

concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown
Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision
Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or
local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to
approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing
the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and
expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense.
City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate
with Applicant in the defense of the Action.

Santa Ana is final and is subject to judicial review pursuant to California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1094.6. The Planning and Building Agency shall give direct notice to
the Applicant of the Planning Commission's decisions and these findings.

View Avenue Condominiums located at 301 and 305 Mountain View Avenue, Santa Ana, CA.
This MMRP has been prepared pursuant to Section 15097 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code. The MMRP
lists all applicable Project Mitigation Measures (MM) and environmental commitments that are
required to be implemented with the Project under existing Standard Condition Plans, Programs,
and Policies (SC) for implementing environmental resource protection legislation. This MMRP
includes implementation timing and responsible party to ensure proper enforcement of all MM
and SC to reduce Project impacts. The City of Santa Ana, as the Lead Agency, will utilize the
MMRP to document the implementation of Project mitigation and SC environmental
commitments, which ensure all project impacts are reduced to less than significance pursuant to
the CEQA.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING TENTATIVE
TRACT MAP NO. 2019-02 AS CONDITIONED TO CREATE
A SUBDIVISION OF EIGHT (8) CONDOMINIUM UNITS AT
301 AND 305 NORTH MOUNTAIN VIEW STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Steve Jones with Olympia Capital Corporation, representing Mountain
View Real Estate Investments, LLC. ("Applicant"), is requesting approval
Tentative Tract Map ("TTM") No. 2019-02 to facilitate the construction of
an 8-unit condominium development at 301 and 305 North Mountain View
Street.
B. On October 26, 2020, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana
held a duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and
oral, related to TTM No. 2019-02, 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.
C. Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code ("SAMC"). Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and
66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act ("SMA"), applications for
tentative tract maps are approved when certain findings can be
established.
D. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana determines that the
following findings, which must be established in order to approve TTM No.
2019-02, have been established as required by Section 34-127 of the
SAMC and the SMA:
1. The proposed project and its design and improvements are
consistent with the proposed Medium Density Residential (MR-15)
land use designation of the General Plan and are otherwise
consistent with all other Elements of the General Plan.
The proposed project and its design and improvements are
consistent with various provisions of the City's Zoning Code
and General Plan with approval of General Plan Amendment
(GPA) No. 2020-04, which amends the land use designation
of the property to Medium Density Residential (MR-15) and
Resolution No. 2020-xx
75D-88 Pagel of
allows a maximum development density of 15 units per acre.
The proposed project is consistent with the designation at a
density of 15 dwelling units per acre. In addition, the project
supports several goals and policies of the General Plan.
Specifically, the project is consistent with General Plan Land
Use Element, Goal 1 to promote a balance of land uses to
address basic community needs. Policy 1.5 encourages the
maintenance and fostering of a variety of residential land
uses. The project will provide eight for -sale condominium
units. Policy 2.10 supports new development which is
harmonious in scale and character with existing
development in the area. The project is similar in scale and
character to the adjacent multi -family uses. Policy 3.1
supports development which provides a positive contribution
to neighborhood character and identity. The project will allow
for redevelopment of a vacant lot with a new residential
development with a contemporary design and variety of
building materials. Goal 2 of the Housing Elements
encourages a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels,
and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's
residents and workforce of all household types, income
levels. Further, Policy 2.5 of the Housing Element
encourages developments that facilitate diverse types,
prices and size of housing, including single-family homes,
apartments, townhomes, mixed/multi-use housing, transit
oriented housing, multi -generational housing and live work
opportunities. The project will provide a for -sale product with
units that range in size that are targeted to entry level home
ownership.
2. The proposed project conforms to all applicable requirements of the
zoning and subdivision codes as well as other applicable City
ordinances.
The proposed project is consistent with the City's zoning with
approval of Amendment Application (AA) No. 2020-02, which
amends the zoning designation of the property to Two -Family
Residence (R2). The R2 zoning designation allows for two
family residences. The minimum development site size is
27,000 square feet with a minimum street frontage of 75 feet.
The proposed lot complies with the minimum lot size and lot
frontage. In addition, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
(CC&Rs) will address issues such as drainage, reciprocal
access, landscaping and maintenance and will be recorded
prior to approval of the final map and is therefore consistent
with Chapter 34 of the SAMC and the SMA.
Resolution No. 2020-xx

3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the
proposed project.
The project site is physically suitable for the type and density
of the proposed project. There are no physical constraints on
the site that would preclude development. The proposed site
consists of approximately 0.74 acres of land and is physically
suitable for the proposed development. The lot size, density,
width, and lot coverage are consistent with the existing
surrounding properties in the neighborhood and with the R-2
zoning district development standards.
4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish and wildlife or their habitat.

Resolution No. 2020-xx
7501-97 Page 1 of 20
D. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA),
Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq., as amended, and the
CEQA Guidelines require the evaluation of environmental impacts in
connection with proposals for discretionary projects.
E. Pursuant to the Guidelines for the Implementation of the CEQA, an Initial
Study relative to the proposed project concluded that implementation of the
project could result in potentially significant effects on the environment and
identified mitigation measures for the development site (301 and 305
North Mountain View Street) that would reduce the significant effects to a
less -than -significant level.
F. The City of Santa Ana prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND),
Environmental Review (ER) No. 2018-83, for the proposed project which
reflects the City's independent judgement and analysis as lead agency for
the project. The MND concluded that the project site would have a less than
significant environmental impact with implementation of mitigation
measures. Mitigation measures are included to address biological
resources, geology and soils, noise, hydrology and water quality, tribal
cultural resources and cultural resources.
G. On June 8, 2020, a Notice of Intent (NO[) to adopt the Initial Study and
MND, ER No. 2018-83, was published in the Orange County Register
newspaper, circulated to interested parties, and the State Clearinghouse.
H. The documents related to the MND were made available for a 30-day public
review and comment period at the Santa Ana City Hall and on the project's
webpage on the City's website. At the completion of the comment period,
comments from Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and the Gabrieleno
Ban of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation were received and incorporated to the
Final MND.
I. The mitigation measures set forth in the MIND are fully enforceable and will
be implemented using the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
J. On November 17, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly
noticed public hearing and voted to approve a resolution to adopt MND, ER
No. 2018-83, and the related MMRP for the project.
Section 2. The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the
information contained in the Initial Study and the MND, ER No. 2018-83, 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 CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the MND adequately addresses
the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City
Council finds that there is no substantial evidence from which it can be fairly argued that
the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
Resolution No. 2020-xx
75D-98 Page 2 of 20
Section 3. The City Council hereby adopts the MND, attached hereto as
Exhibit A, and MMRP, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and 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. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the
above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for City Council
Action dated November 17, 2020 and exhibits attached hereto; and the public
testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. 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 5. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies,
authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims,
demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether
legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative
dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and
such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively "Actions"),
brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents,
departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to
modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the
City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or
concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown
Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision
Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or
local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to
approve, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the legal counsel providing
the City's defense, and that Applicant shall reimburse the City for any costs and
expenses directly and necessarily incurred by the City in the course of the defense.
City shall promptly notify the Applicant of any Action brought and City shall cooperate
with Applicant in the defense of the Action.

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. Steve Jones with Olympia Capital Corporation, representing Mountain View
Real Estate Investments, LLC. ("Applicant") is requesting approval of
General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2020-04 to amend the General Plan
land use designation of the properties located at 301 and 305 North
Mountain View Street from Low Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) to
Medium Density Residential (MR-15) and to update text portions of the
City's Land Use Element to reflect this change in order to facilitate
construction of an 8-unit condominium development.
B. In addition, the City of Santa Ana is proposing to change the land use
designation of the properties located at 4310, 4314, 4318, 4322, 4326 and
4330 West Fifth Street, 113, 117, 121, 201, 203, 207 and 211 North

West First Street from General Commercial (GC) to MR-25.
C. On October 26, 2020, 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 GPA No. 2020-04.
75D-118 Resolution No. 2020-xx
Page 1 of 5
D. On November 17, 2020, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a
duly noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral,
related to GPA No. 2020-04, 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.
Section 2. The General Plan Amendment consists of amendments to the Land
Use Element and text updates, as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Section 3. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed General Plan
Amendment is compatible with the objectives, policies, and general plan land use
programs specified in the General Plan for the City of Santa Ana in that:
A. The City of Santa Ana has officially adopted a General Plan.
B. The land uses authorized by the General Plan Amendment, and the
General Plan Amendment itself, are compatible with the objectives,
policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan,
for the following reasons:
i. The proposed General Plan land use designation for the project area
is MR-15, which applies to multiple -family developments
characterized by duplexes, apartments, and townhomes with a
maximum allowable intensity of 15 dwelling units per acre. This
change is consistent with Table A-3 (Correlation of Land Use
Designation and Zoning Districts) of the General Plan Land Use
Element.
ii. The subject project site and the surrounding properties on the east
side of Mountain View Street have a LMR-11 or General
Commercial (GC) land use designations, however, the properties
are developed with residential uses, with numerous properties
currently exceeding the maximum allowed density permitted in the
LMR-11 land use designation. The densities surrounding this area
range from 4.8 to 18.8 dwelling units per acre. Changing the land
use designations will bring the General Plan Land Use Plan into
close consistency with existing residential development density and
characteristics in the area and will allow for consistent development
intensity for future projects.
The general plan amendment will support several goals and policies
of the General Plan, including the Land Use Element and Housing
Element. Specifically, the project will be consistent with Land Use
Element, Goal 1 to promote a balance of land uses to address basic
community needs. Policy 1.5 states a desire maintain and foster a
variety of residential land uses. The project will provide eight for -
sale condominium units. Policy 2.10 supports new development
which is harmonious in scale and character with existing
75D-119 Resolution No. 2020-xx
Page 2 of 5
development in the area. The project is similar in scale and
character to the adjacent multi -family uses. Policy 3.1 supports
development which provides a positive contribution to
neighborhood character and identity. The project will allow for
redevelopment of an underutilized lot with a new residential
development with a contemporary design and variety of building
materials. Housing Element, Goal 2 encourages a diversity of
quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that
accommodate Santa Ana's residents and workforce of all
household types, income levels, and are groups to foster an
inclusive community. Policy 2.5 facilitates diverse types, prices and
size of housing, including single-family homes, apartments,
townhomes, mixed/multiuse housing, transit oriented housing,
multi -generational housing and live work opportunities. The project
will provide a for -sale condominium product with units that range in
size that are targeted to entry level home ownership.
Section 4. The GPA will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and
welfare in that the GPA will not result in incompatible land uses on adjacent properties,
inconsistencies with any General Plan goals or policies, or adverse impacts to the
environment.
Section 5. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the
public hearing hereby approves GPA No. 2020-04. 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 Planning
Commission Action dated October 26, 2020, the Request for Council Action dated
November 17, 2020, and exhibits attached hereto; and the public testimony, written and
oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 6. The City Council approves GPA No. 2020-04 as set forth in Exhibit
A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, subject to compliance with the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth below:
A. Subject to compliance with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, the Land Use Element map and text shall be amended to read
as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
B. The General Plan Amendment shall not take effect unless and until
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP), Environmental Review No. 2018-83 and
Amendment Application (AA) No. 2020-02 are adopted by the City
Council.

LAND USE ELEMENT
Residential
The Land Use Plan provides for three distinct residential land use designations.
Residential development is also permitted in three other designations: District
Center, One Broadway Plaza 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 6 465.96 4634 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 -114.4424-.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 375.6369-1 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.

Harbor Boulevard, and other major arterial roadways in the City. The
intensity standard applicable to this designation is a floor area ratio of 0.5 -
1.0, though most General Commercial districts have a FAR of 0.5. A total of
858.1839:6 acres of land is included in this designation.
General Commercial districts are key components in the economic
development of the City. They provide highly visible and accessible
commercial development along the City's arterial transportation corridors. In
addition, General Commercial land uses provide important neighborhood
facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and
entertainment activities, employment, and education. The districts also
provide support facilities and services for industrial areas including office and
retail, restaurants and various other services.
The General Commercial development standards are based upon the
character and intensity of development, as well as the degree of access and
market demand for these properties. The relationships to adjacent land uses,
are also considered. Uses typically located in this district are:
• Business and professional offices;
• Retail and service establishments;
• Recreational, cultural, and entertainment uses; and
• Vocational schools.
General Commercial Districts have a floor area ratio of0.5 with the exception
of the Mid -town area which has an floor area ratio of up to 1.0.
Mixed Use
The Land Use Plan provides for two distinct mixed use land use designations.
These designations allow for both vertical and horizontal mixed use
developments, with an emphasis on linkages to a range of transportation
options:
• The District Center (DC) land use designation includes the major activity
areas in the City. Seven areas of the City, totaling 685.4 acres, are designated
as District Center. The intensity standard for the District Center designation
ranges from a floor ratio of 1.0 to 5.0.
District Centers are designed to serve as anchors to the City's commercial
corridors, and to accommodate major development activity. District Centers
are to be developed with an urban character that includes a mixture of high-
rise office, commercial, and residential uses which provide shopping,
business, cultural, education, recreation, entertainment, and housing
opportunities. Residential developments within some District Centers are
allowed at a densi ofu [ 90 h d I d
ty p o on s per acre w en eve ope as an integral
component of master planned mixed use project. In Harbor Corridor, Metro
East, Downtown, and Transit Village District Centers residential f,l fll

• Redevelopment Plans. The City will apply redevelopment tools associated
with the implementation ofthe adopted redevelopment plans, as appropriate.
The City will encourage the further development of industrial, commercial,
and residential projects in suitable locations to strengthen the City's tax and
employment base.
• Special Studies. In certain instances, a special study may be required to
address a particular issue. In these cases, a specific effort to identify staff
resources needed to conduct the appropriate investigation and analysis will be
identified.
• Zoning Code Review. The zoning code serves as a primary tool used by the
City to regulate development. The City will develop a program to revise the
Zoning Ordinance to ensure that development regulations and standards are
consistent with community needs and high quality development. The City
will initiate appropriate changes to the ordinance to ensure, where
appropriate, conformity between the Land Use Element and Zoning Map.
LAND USE PLAN BUILDOUT
As indicated previously, the City of Santa Ana has been almost completely
developed for many years. As a result, any new development will necessarily
consist of redevelopment and infill development on the remaining vacant and
underutilized parcels. Many parcels with nonresidential land use designations
will never be developed to the maximum intensity permitted under the General
Plan.
Table A-4 indicates the development possible under the build -out of the Land
Use Plan. The build -out for residential land uses considered two scenarios.
Effective build -out for residential development is calculated by adding the 21,896
units possible in the areas designated as District Center and Urban Neighborhood
to the existing 74,669 units presently found in the City per Census 2000.
Theoretical build -out for residential development considered the development
possible if all of the areas designated as residential were developed according to
the permitted Land Use Plan intensities. Since the Land Use Element does not
contemplate the elimination of existing housing in the City, the effective build -out
figure represents a more realistic estimate of future residential development.
As indicated in Table A-4, three of the non-residential land use designations have
a range in FAR intensities. For the non-residential land use designations, effective
build -out considered the development possible under the lower range of FAR
intensities while theoretical build -out considered the upper FAR range. Typically,
parking and landscaping requirements will result in significantly less floor area
for commercial and industrial developments than that which is permitted under
the General Plan.
As indicated in Table A-4, between 773507i,3 to 96,565 housing units are
allowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in the
City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout f rl`
CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-33

scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple -family developments
constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. However, the purpose of the Land Use Plan
as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of
existing neighborhoods, regardless ofthe character of development. The intent of
the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development
densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City
residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through
this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City
code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses.
The Land Use Element's implementation may result in an increase in the
amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As
indicated in Table A-4, up to 31,774,0053-,89840; square feet ofcommercial and
office, and 42,199,991 square feet ofindustrial development are possible under the
effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan.

' Effective capacity for non-residential development assumes development possible under the lower range of FAR intensity standards with the exception
of the Metro East District Center, Transit Village District Center, Downtown District Center, Heritage District 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 21,896 units possible in the District Center and Urban Neighborhood with the existing 74,669 (Census 2000) housing units.
Y 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.
s Land use designation permits high intensity office development with ancillary retail use.
