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. Jaymie Fisher, representing Habitat for Humanity of Orange County
("Habitat for Humanity"), on behalf of the City of Santa Ana Housing
Authority (Property. Owner), is requesting approval of Site Plan Review
(SPR) No. 2022-02 to allow the infill construction of a new single-family
residence on a vacant lot at 830 N. Lacy Street, within the French park
Historic District Specific Development (SD-19).

or•development of property within an SD district shall be in compliance with
the ordinance adopting the specific development plan for such property.
C. SAMC Section 41-593.4 requires a review by the Planning Commission of

G. On May 9, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on SPR No. 2022-02.
H. The Planning Commission, after considering all of the evidence submitted,
finds and determines that the project is in substantial compliance with
applicable development standards outlined within the Specific Development
Plan No.19 (SD-19) zoning district and the Historic French Park Design
Guidelines. Specifically, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed
residence would meet all required SD-19 development standards, including
but not limited to, lot coverage, height, and setbacks. In addition, the
residence has adopted an architectural design identified as appropriate
within the Guidelines (i.e., Craftsman architectural style). The residence has
been designed to be compatible in size, scale, massing, and design to the
nearby historic homes and neighborhood. It maintains architectural
standards compatible with the architectural character of the historic district
and is designed to include historically appropriate exterior materials, gable
treatments, and architectural massing consistent with existing historic
architectural styles found in the area. The overall features and materials of
the residence would be architecturally compatible with the Guidelines, as it
would include high quality materials that will ensure that the residences age
well for the duration of the building's lifetime.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the CEQA Guidelines, -the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section
15303 of the CEQA Guidelines:(Class 3/New Construction) because the project consists
of the construction of a new residential structure. Based on this analysis, Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review Nos. 2021-44, will be filed for this project.
Section 3. 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

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 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
