RESOLUTION NO. 2008-028
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA IDENTIFYING THE CENSUS TRACTS
COMPRISING THE TARGETED EMPLOYMENT AREA
FOR THE SANTA ANA ENTERPRISE ZONE
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. On January 31, 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that
the City of Santa Ana has been conditionally re-designated as a California
Enterprise Zone. This designation shall be in effect for fifteen (15) years.
B. The California Enterprise Zone Program targets economically distressed
areas using special state and local incentives to promote business
investment and job creation. By encouraging entrepreneurship and
employer growth, the program strives to create and sustain economic
expansion in California communities.
C. Section 7072(i) of the California Government Code defines a "Targeted
Employment Area" as an area within a city that is composed solely of
those census tracts that have at least 51 percent of its residents of low- or
moderate-income levels. Its purpose, according to the Code, is to
encourage businesses in an enterprise zone to hire eligible residents from
these geographic areas. The incentive for these businesses is the
availability of a tax credit for hiring residents who reside in a TEA.
D. By adoption of Resolution No. 97-002, the City Council of the City of Santa
Ana established Santa Ana's Targeted Employment Area ("TEA").
E. Recent legislation, Assembly Bill 1550, requires that enterprise zones,
which obtained a TEA prior to the availability of the 2000 United States
census data, review and update their TEA boundaries to reflect the most
recent census data.
F. To comply with this requirement, Santa Ana's application to the
Department of Housing and Community Development must include a
certified copy of a resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa Ana
which approves the boundaries of the TEA, and sets forth the census
tracts numbers within the TEA.

States Department of Housing and Urban Development as having at least 51 percent of

census tracts which are in the most need of employment targeting pursuant to the
