Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute the
attached amendment to the cooperative agreement between the City of Santa
Ana and the County of Orange Health Care Agency adding an additional
$70,000 for a total of $894,650, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana receives the Federal Housing Opportunities for
Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant as it is the most populous city in Orange
County. A strategic planning meeting was held on February 11, 2008, to
determine priorities for the program year 2008-2009 funds.
Representatives from the Orange County Health Care Agency, service
providers from throughout the county, HIV/AIDS infected and affected
individuals and City staff participated in the meeting.
The recommended funding level for the County of Orange Health Care Agency
was $824,650 for supportive housing services to individuals and families
throughout Orange County. At this time, the County is requesting an
additional $70,000 due to the economic downturn creating greater demand
county-wide for emergency financial assistance, emergency shelter motel
vouchers and short term assistance with rent and utilities. These
additional funds, available from unexpended prior year allocations, will
increase the agreement to $894,650. Any funds unexpended by the County
at the close of the program year will be de-obligated and reallocated to
other eligible activities.

NUMBER
Adopt a resolution that amends the City's Basic Classification and
Compensation Plan (82-110) and amends the fiscal year 2008-2009 annual
budget to create two job classifications and reallocate four positions
to these classifications.
DISCUSSION
Due to the current economic recession and resultant impact on City
finances, an analysis is being conducted on the feasibility of extending
the park maintenance services provided by contractors to the remaining
parks in the city. In the event this occurs, it will be necessary to
monitor and oversee the performance of the contractors to ensure
consistency and quality in the level of service provided. To that end,
the Executive Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services is
proposing the creation of two job classifications titled Park
Maintenance Inspector I and Park Maintenance Inspector II. These
classifications will supervise and trouble-shoot the contractors' work
on routine maintenance projects in the City's parks and properties.
The Executive Director is further proposing the reallocation of two Park
Maintenance Worker positions to the Park Maintenance Inspector I class
and the reallocation of two Park Maintenance Leader positions to the
Park Maintenance Inspector II class. As the new job classifications are
placed at the same salary rate range as the reallocated positions, these
changes will not result in any change in compensation.

Adopt a resolution authorizing the Police Department to donate surplus or
expired, but serviceable, police equipment to the law enforcement agencies
of Ensenada, Mexicali, Playas De Rosarito, Tecate, and Tijuana, of Baja
California, Mexico.
DISCUSSION
The Mexican government and law enforcement agencies are currently
struggling to control an unprecedented illegal drug market and associated
violence. Baja California is the northern most State of Mexico. This
illegal and violent activity has a direct impact on the United States, and
more specifically on Southern California cities. The law enforcement
agencies in Baja California are in need of necessary police equipment
required for enforcement activity and to establish stability.
The City of Santa Ana possesses holsters, ammo pouches, handcuff cases,
mace holders, magazine pouches, radio holders, drop down holsters, duty
jackets, tactical vests, ballistic vests, and helmets which are no longer
used by the Police Department because they are surplus or expired. This
equipment cannot be sold as surplus and is the type of surplus property
that would be subject to destruction by the City. Thus, staff recommends
donating the surplus or expired equipment to the law enforcement agencies
of Ensenada, Mexicali, Playas De Rosarito, Tecate, and Tijuana, of Baja
California, Mexico.

CITY MANAGER
ECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Public
Works Agency to submit an application for funding under the Renewed
Measure M Project T program to convert Metrolink stations into regional
gateways that connect Orange County with planned future high-speed rail
systems.
DISCUSSION
Project T is one of the competitive transit programs funded by the
Renewed Measure M approved by Orange County voters on November 7, 2006.
Its purpose is to provide funding for jurisdictions to convert their
Metrolink stations into regional gateways where high-speed rail service
can be offered in addition to intercity and commuter rail service.
Project T funding would allow the City to significantly enhance the
Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) in anticipation of
future transit service expansion and ridership growth at the station.
The OCTA Board issued a call for Project T funding applications on
January 26, 2009; applications are due on February 20, 2009. Anaheim and
Irvine are the only local agencies that currently meet all of the
Project T eligibility criteria. However, OCTA has submitted a request
to the Southern California Association of Governments to amend the 2008
Regional Transportation Plan to include the SARTC expansion in the
unconstrained plan which would make Santa Ana eligible for Project T
funding. Additionally, OCTA staff has encouraged the City of Santa Ana
to submit a Project T application by the February 20th deadline. A
resolution by Council is required as part of the application.
With Council approval, staff will prepare and submit to OCTA a funding
application requesting $4 million in Project T revenue for development
of the SARTC Master Site Plan, conceptual engineering and completion of
the environmental documents. The environmental documentation task would
55D-1

produce an Alternatives Analysis and a draft and final Environmental
Impact Report (EIR)/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for SARTC
Master Site Plan.
The purpose of the Concept Master Site Plan will be to create a
comprehensive vision for converting SARTC to a bustling multi-modal
transportation center where high speed rail, commuter and intercity
rail, fixed route and bus rapid transit services are all provided in a
state-of-the art facility. The concept plan would provide for more
parking, improved circulation and access for buses and autos, and
provide a grade separation of Santa Ana Boulevard.

plan review. The proposed project consists of a high rise tower, stacked
townhomes and parking structure on an approximately two acre site. The
residential segment will provide 333 condominium units within the tower
and 20 stacked townhouses wrapping one-side of the parking garage.
Several actions are required to entitle the project: a) the project was
identified to have a potential adverse impact and therefore required an
environmental impact report; b) a zoning ordinance amendment is
necessary to amend the Specific Development No. 59 zoning standards; c)
an amendment to the existing development agreement defining the terms
and nature for the proposed development; d) a conditional use permit is
required to allow a residential high rise project; e) a vesting tract map
is requested to allow the subdivision of the existing property for
residential condominium purposes; and f) the project location within SD-59
requires approval of the site plan.
Property Description
The City Place development comprises approximately 17.7 acres at the
northeast corner of Main Street and Memory Lane. The site extends from
Main Street on the west to Lawson Way on the east and from Memory Lane
on the south to the city border on the north. The tower development
proposed is situated on an approximately two acre parcel located on the
northeast portion of City Place and generally bounded by Lawson Way on
the east, Jeanette Lane along the south to the existing City Place
development to the west and to the city border on the north. The
subject site is located within Specific Development No. 59 (SD-59)
zoning district and has a General Plan Land Use designation of District
Center (DC), which permits residential development. Surrounding land
uses include the Main Place Mall, commercial, retail and residential to
the west; Santiago Park, offices and parking structure to the south; a
senior residential development and offices to the east; and retail,
offices and parking structure to the north (Exhibits 1 and 2).
Project Description
The City Place land use, planning and design provide a mixture of uses
within a common setting. It stresses a people oriented environment
where pedestrian and automobile traffic can co-exist on-site to create
an experience of urban activity in a safe and high quality setting.

City Place has been designed with the commercial component oriented to
the west end of the site and the residential component on the east. The
site has been aligned to allow the development to have a greater
presence along all of the frontage streets. The location of the
buildings along Main Street, a commercial corridor, provides a link to
the corridor and a visual connection to the mall.
Currently, the City Place commercial component includes approximately
57,700 square feet of retail and restaurant space. McCormick and
Schmick's and Corner Bakery restaurants are open and operating, while
the Geisha House restaurant is anticipating an opening in early 2009.
Additionally, other commercial uses include a Pinkberry's, Coffee Bean,
Bank of the West, nail salon and the recent opening of Mother's Market.
Seventy-three live-work lofts have been completed extending from Main
Street to the north along the curved City Place Drive to Memory Lane.
The design of the loft units provides large storefronts, pedestrian
level windows, zero setbacks and a height that is consistent in mass,
scale and rhythm with other structures in the area.
The townhouse component provides two designs: The Courtyards and The
Park. Both the Courtyard and Park designs provide residential units
within a courtyard, with all front doors facing the open area. These
developments provide a total of 168 residential units.
The proposed residential tower consists of 333 units plus 20 stacked
townhouse units wrapping the parking structure for a total of 353
condominium units. The tower has been designed in a postmodern
architectural style, with a sleek and contemporary appearance. The
project site is located within the northeast section of the City Place
development (Exhibit 3).

Environmental Impact Report
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the preparation
and approval of an environmental impact report (EIR) for this project.
The environmental issues analyzed in the EIR include aesthetics,
agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural
resources, geology and soils, land use and planning, hazards and hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality, mineral resources, noise,
population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and
traffic, and utilities and service systems.
A draft EIR (DEIR) was previously distributed to inform public decision
makers, responsible and trustee agencies, and the general public of the
potential effects of the proposed project. On April 23, 2007 a Notice of
Preparation (NOP) and Initial Study (IS) was circulated for the
preparation of Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 2007-02. On May 16,
2007 a public scoping meeting was held at the Santiago Park Lawn Bowling
Clubhouse during the required 30-day public review of the NOP. The EIR
was then prepared based on information provided in the IS, as well as
issues expressed in the comments to the NOP and scoping meeting.
In accordance with CEQA, a draft EIR was circulated for review and comment
by the public, local, regional and state agencies, and interested parties
on November 7, 2007 for a 45-day review period. On November 26, 2007 the
Planning Commission held a public meeting to solicit input from interested
member of the public on the DEIR; no public comments were submitted at
this hearing.

The City has evaluated the comments on environmental issues received from
persons or agencies. In accordance with CEQA, each of the public agencies
and interested parties that comment on the draft EIR will be provided a
response to their comments. Within the DEIR is the Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the project. In addition, the Findings of Fact and Statement
of Overriding Considerations have been included (Exhibit 4).
The DEIR has determined that implementation of the project would result in
unavoidable adverse impacts to aesthetics, air quality and traffic. All
other potential impacts associated with the project were determined to be
less than significant or were provided with mitigation to reduce impacts
to a level considered less than significant.
Aesthetic impacts are a result of shade patterns cast by the height of the
proposed tower and parking structure. Shade would be cast on Town and
Country Manor Retirement Center east of the project and on residential
uses west, northeast, south and southeast of the project site as well as
park uses which are not shaded by existing site features. These areas
would receive one-half hour more of shade at various times of the year.
Air quality impacts are a result of construction and during the operation
of the completed .project. During construction .and the application of
architectural coatings, thresholds established by the Southern California
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) will be exceeded and result in a
significant adverse short-term regional air quality impact. Additionally,
after project completion and operation begins, emissions of reactive
organic gases (ROG) produced by vehicle and stationary sources will result
in exceedance of operational thresholds established by SCAQMD. These ROG
emissions are based on the volume of project related trips attributable to
the proposed project. As a result, the ROG emissions cannot be mitigated
to below a level of significance and would constitute an unavoidable
significant adverse impact related to air quality.
Implementation of the proposed tower would result in temporary
cumulative traffic impacts. The 2010 traffic conditions between La Veta
Avenue and Town and Country Road cannot be mitigated to below a level of
significance without amending the Master Plan of Arterial Highway (MPAH)
road classification from a Major Arterial to a Principal Arterial. This
road reclassification would provide one additional lane in each
direction. In the year 2030, this road segment will operate at an

acceptable Level of Service (LOS) with or without the proposed project.
Daily volumes projected for 2030 were generally forecasted to be lower
than the daily traffic volumes in 2010 because the build out of the MPAH
would provide additional road capacity on the parallel north-south
arterial highways such as Bristol Street to the west and Grand Avenue to
the east. The additional road capacities on these arterial highways
would alleviate traffic demand on Main Street by shifting some of the
traffic demand on Bristol Street and Grand Avenue. Therefore,
implementation of the proposed tower would create a temporary
significant and unavoidable adverse impact to Main Street between La
Veta Avenue and Town and Country Road until Bristol Street and Grand
Avenue are built out to the MPAH designations.
The environmental impact report has identified a significant and
unavoidable impact to aesthetics, air quality and traffic. No feasible
mitigation measures are available to reduce the effect. As a result of
the impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level,
adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required prior to
approving the project. A Statement of Overriding Considerations is the
process through which decision makers balance the economic, legal, social,
and technological or other benefits of the proposed project against its
unavoidable environmental impacts.
Zoning Ordinance Amendment
The specific development district is a customized zoning classification
used for unique and/or mixed-use projects. In 1993, a specific
development zone (SD-59) was approved on the site to accommodate an
extremely intense mixed-use project. The entitlement included a 22 and
32-story office tower, 19-story residential tower (216 units), hotel,
parking structure, restaurants, health club, retail space, cinemas and
live theater and attached residences (64 units). The total project
gross square footage was 1,964,770 with parking to accommodate 5,464
vehicles.
In 2004, the specific development plan was amended to allow the current
development of City Place incorporating the intent of the previous
entitled project. The specific development text lays out criteria for
the review of the current construction project.

In their decision to amend SD-59 in 2004, the City Council directed the
developer to investigate the feasibility of constructing a residential
tower on a two acre parcel in the northeast portion of the site. After
careful consideration, the developer concluded that a high-rise
residential condominium project was feasible and appropriate, and
submitted plans for review. As a result of the proposed project, the
development of this parcel differs from the actions previously approved
and therefore requires an amendment to the current SD-59 (Exhibit 5).
The following highlights those changes:
Land uses
The primary change to SD-59 is to allow a residential tower by issuance
of a conditional use permit. In 2004, in order to ensure the Council's
opportunity to review a project on the remaining two acre parcel, SD-59
was amended to only allow one single-family residence per acre. By
doing so, future development of the site beyond two single-family homes
would allow the Council to provide future input and review.
Additionally, staff is requesting changes that help to clarify the uses
permitted on the commercial component. These changes would not add nor
delete uses currently allowed within SD-59. The changes would merely
provide clearer direction on the list of uses currently permitted. A
variety of commercial uses will continue to be permitted with an
emphasis on sit-down eating establishments and retail.
Parking
The current SD-59 standards do not address parking requirements for
residential condominium units configured in a high rise. Unlike the
current development on-site, the high rise will not provide two-car
garages for each unit but rather provide parking within a parking
structure design. The proposed parking garage is designed with two
levels of parking below grade and four levels above grade. A total of
729 parking spaces will be provided including visitor parking. The
parking accommodates two parking spaces per unit, with studio units
assigned one parking space each and an additional 70 parking spaces for
visitors. An amendment to SD-59 is needed to include these parking
standards for Lot 1 of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 17242.

Building Height
The maximum building height will be adjusted to mirror the tower project
as proposed, a maximum of 366 feet. This change would only allow this
height on Lot 1 of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 17242. All other
height restriction will remain in place.
Development Agreement
The development agreement is a legal contract between the developer and
the City defining the terms and nature of development. In 2004, a
development agreement was approved; the term of the agreement is eight and
one-half years. It establishes development intensity, density, permitted
uses and standards for the term of the agreement. In exchange for the
City vesting the standards and changing allowable intensity, the
development agreement requires certain public benefits (Exhibit 6). The
main points of the amended agreement as proposed by staff are:
1. Term: The term of the development agreement will provide 10 years.
If by the seventh year permits have not been obtained, additional
fees will be applied including public art.
2. Inclusionary Housing Fee: An inclusionary housing fee of $3,000 per
dwelling unit or a minimum $1,059,000 is required. As 353 units are
proposed, this would generate $1,059,000.
3 . In-Lieu Park Fee : The developer is required to pay the City an in-
lieu park fee of $7,841 per unit. This is expected to amount to a
fee of approximately $2.76 million.
4. Conditions, Covenants & Restrictions: The developer is required to
prepare and record CC&Rs to cover the residential units similar to
those CC&Rs required of the first phase as well as Nexus and First
and Cabrillo projects. These requirements limit the number of
residents in each unit and require owner occupancy.
Conditional Use Permit
A conditional use permit has been requested to allow the residential
condominium tower project. Should Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2008-
04 be approved, a conditional use permit will be required for any

proposed residential condominium tower on Lot 1 within the SD-59 zoning
district. The residential tower component is envisioned to create an
urban element and focal point within this mixed-use environment. The
overall plan for City Place encourages a variety of residential living
opportunities linking the components and accentuating the District
Center urban character. The residential tower units have been designed
in a manner that is harmonious in scale and character with existing
development adjacent to City Place, contributes positively to the
surrounding commercial and residential areas, provides a development in
keeping with the standards for high-rise residential towers.
The high=rise tower will provide 333 units,- while 20 stacked townhomes
will line the southern side of the parking structure. The tower will
position its entry at the western corner of Jeanette Lane accented by
two water fountains. The townhouse units will front directly onto
Jeanette Lane extending from the tower lobby eastward to Lawson Way.
Each unit within the tower will be approximately 804 to 1,999 square
feet in size and will range in studio, one, two and three bedroom units.
The townhouses have been designed as either a loft style or more
traditional townhome, two stories in height. These units will be 1,494
square feet in size and offers two bedroom and two and one-half baths.
Open space has been provided in a variety of ways including common and
private areas. All units, both within the tower and townhouses will
provide open space in the form of private decks or balconies for the
sole use of that unit. The average area size of the private space is
approximately 100 square feet. Additionally, on the podium deck, common
open space has been provided. This area contains both open and enclosed
open space. A pool, spa, fireplace, seat walls, tables, chairs and
chaise lounges will be provided throughout the open deck. In addition,
enhanced paving will be provided on the amenity deck as well as
landscaping located within plant containers. The outdoor space is
approximately 35,169 square feet in area. Indoors, on the same level, a
1,032 square foot media room, 1,222 square foot common dining room and
1,503 square foot gym will be accommodated. All of these accommodations
will be available for the use by all residents.
Private storage space will be provided for each unit. The Sky Lofts
Tower will have one storage space per unit within the parking garage
that is a minimum of 40 square feet in size.

Vesting Tentative Tract Map
The proposed vesting tract map for this project satisfies two objectives
set by Council to provide for-sale units. The proposed vesting map
creates condominium subdivisions for each housing type. The condominium
subdivision is necessary to provide the for-sale units. This encourages
home ownership (Exhibit 7).
The vesting nature of the map ensures that the standards to be applied to
the project will be those adopted with the approval of the map. The map
is designed to be in compliance with the applicable development standards
found in Chapter 34 and the Specific Development document.
Site Plan Review
Santa Ana Municipal code requires a review by Planning Commission of all
plans within a specific development area to ensure the project is in
conformity with the specific development standards. The review also
ensures that the buildings, structures and grounds are in keeping with the
neighborhood and will not be detrimental to the development of the
specific development zone. The proposed project is in compliance with all
applicable development standards including the General Plan, Municipal
Code and the City Place Specific Development Plan (SD-59), as amended.
Additionally, the proposal is in keeping with the surrounding area and
will improve the desirability of investment in the City. Finally, the
project has been determined to be in compliance with applicable parking,
landscaping and architectural provisions governing the project.
The residential tower development project will enhance and provide a
positive improvement to the north Main Street district though the
development of a significant vacant parcel of land within the City Place
development. The development of this site with high quality design,
materials and finishes, the inclusion of a fountain, a ground level lobby
and residential units, and the creation of a physical and visual link
within City Place will help in energizing and strengthening this northern
gateway area. The project will reinforce an active, vibrant urban
lifestyle envisioned within the District Center designation of the General
Plan. Additionally, the project will be of direct benefit to the
community by providing additional housing opportunities in the City. The

project addresses many goals and policies of the General Plan by assisting
in the growth of an economically viable corridor, provision of a variety
of residential land uses and the construction of a high quality
development project.
As a result, it is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that
the City Council certify Environmental Impact Report No. 2007-02, and
approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2008-04, Development Agreement No.

property bounded by Main Street to the west, Memory Lane to the south, Lawson
Way to the east and the City boundaries to the north. A regional mall,
professional offices, a senior care facility and Santiago Park surround the project
site.
The City Place Specific Development District maintains a commercial corridor
along Main Street while introducing a residential character along the eastern
portion of the district, with a mixture of live-work1 townhome ~ and
hifJ:h rise tower. The City Place mixed-use project is intended to be an addition to
the commercial corridor and an infusion of housing to the district along the north
Main Street section of the City. In addition, the mixed use plan for this site will
result in the project becoming a node, or place of activity. The objectives of the
City Place Specific Development Plan includes the provision of the following:
A long-term development that is of the highest architectural quality
and design;
2. A landscaping plan that is complementary to a large scale mixed
use development;
3. An exciting and visually cohesive development as viewed both
internally and externally;
4. A bold but integrated sign program suitable for a mixed use project
of this scale and scope;
5. A development that is consistent with the District Center
designation of the General Plan and which implements the spirit

PART IV. DESIGN STANDARDS
A. Interior Streets
City Place ~ Drive.
The tone and pedestrian experience of the project will be largely
determined by "Cit Py lace ~ Drive," a wide interior street
which will curve through the project. Cit, Py lace T''° r~r°°••r°° is
intended to lend a unifying component to the project as well as link
different uses together.
a. Cit P~ ~ Drive will consist of a 34' road bed
with minimum 14 feet walkways on either side covered
arcades may count up to nine rectalinear feet of the
walkway.
b. Cit Py lace Drive will not be a public street, but

mixed-use complex, and architecturally spectacular. Environmental
graphic design will be innovative and attractive but never excessive.
Tenant identification on the perimeter of the project (i.e. external signage)
will be held to a practical minimum. However, it is critical that the
internal signage, particularly the signage along the City Place Ewe-ease,
be compatible with the kind of exciting dynamic environment which is
intended to be created.

Amendment and a hearing on the matter shall not be required.

there is a breach.

Owner, in any manner, at Owner's sole discretion, from encumbering the Sky Lofts Property or
any portion of the Sky Lofts Property or any improvement on the Sky Lofts Property by any
mortgage, deed of trust, or other security device (or any number of them) securing financing with
respect to the Sky Lofts Property or its improvement (any such encumbrance, a "Mortgage").
8.2 Entitlement to Written Notice of Default. The mortgagee of a mortgage
or beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering the Sky Lofts Property or any part thereof and their
successors and assigns ("Mortgagee") shall, upon written request to the City, be entitled to
receive from the City written notification of any Owner Event of Default.
8.3 Performance of Covenants. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but no
obligation, to perform any term, covenant or condition and to remedy any Owner Event of
Default hereunder within the time periods specified herein, and the City shall accept such
performance with the same force and effect as if furnished by the Owner; provided, however, that
said Mortgagee shall not thereby or hereby be subrogated to the rights of the City.
8.4 Default by the Owner. In the event of an Owner Event of Default that
has not been cured by the Owner or as to which there is no cure period hereunder, the City agrees
not to terminate this First Amendment (1) unless and until the City provides written notice of such
default to any Mortgagee and such Mortgagee shall have failed to cure such Owner Event of
Default within ninety business days after the later of delivery of such notice or expiration of any
applicable Owner cure period, and (2) as long as:
(a) In the case of an Owner Event of Default that cannot practicably be
cured by the Mortgagee without taking possession of the Sky Lofts Property (which defaults shall
not include defaults "not susceptible of being cured" as defined below), (i) the Mortgagee has
delivered to the City, prior to the date on which the City shall be entitled to give notice of
termination, a written instrument wherein the Mortgagee unconditionally agrees that (subject to
such delays as may be incident to obtaining a relief from stay in the case of a
bankruptcy/dissolution event) it will commence and diligently pursue cure of such Owner Event of
Default promptly following its obtaining possession and; (ii) said Mortgagee shall proceed
diligently to obtain possession of the Sky Lofts Property (including possession by receiver)
(subject to such delays as may be incident to obtaining a relief from stay in the case of a
bankruptcy/dissolution event) and, upon obtaining such possession, shall proceed diligently to
cure such Owner Event of Default; and
(b) In the case of an Owner Event of Default that is not susceptible to
being cured by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall institute foreclosure proceedings and
diligently prosecute the same to completion (subject to such delays as may be incident to
obtaining a relief from stay in the case of a bankruptcy/dissolution event) (unless in the meantime
it shall acquire the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder, either in its own name or through a
13
75A-87
DRAFT
nominee, by assignment in lieu of foreclosure) and upon such completion of acquisition or
foreclosure such Owner Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured.
The Mortgagee shall not be required to obtain possession or to continue in
possession as Mortgagee of the Sky Lofts Property pursuant to Subsection 8.4(a) above, or to
continue to prosecute foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Subsection 8.4(b) above, if and when
such Owner Event of Default shall be cured. Nothing herein shall preclude the City from
exercising any of its rights or remedies with respect to any other Owner Event of Default during
any period of such forbearance, but in such event the Mortgagee shall have all of its rights
provided for herein. If the Mortgagee, its nominee, or a purchaser in a foreclosure sale, shall
acquire title to Owner's right, title and interest hereunder and shall cure all Owner Events of
Defaults that are susceptible of being cured by the Mortgagee or by said purchaser, as the case
may be, then prior Owner Events of Default that are not susceptible to being cured by the
Mortgagee or by said purchaser shall no longer be deemed Owner Events of Default hereunder.
Except as set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall require any Mortgagee to
cure any Owner Event of Default.

whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power contained in a Mortgage, or any
conveyance of the Sky Lofts Property from the Owner to a Mortgagee or its designee through, or
in lieu of foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof, shall not require the
consent of the City or constitute a breach of any provision of or a default under this First
Amendment; and upon such foreclosure, sale or conveyance the City shall recognize the purchaser
or other transferee in connection therewith as the Owner hereunder provided that such purchaser
or transferee assumes, subject to the terms of Section 8.4 above, each and all of the obligations of
the Owner hereunder pursuant to an assumption First Amendment satisfactory to the City. If any
Mortgagee or its nominee or assignee shall acquire the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder
as a result of a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure under any Permitted Mortgage, or by means of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure, or through settlement of or arising out of any pending or contemplated
foreclosure action, such Mortgagee shall thereafter have the right to assign or transfer the
Owner's right, title and interest hereunder to an assignee upon obtaining the City's consent with
respect thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon such
acquisition of the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder as described in the preceding
sentence by either Mortgagee, or the assignee or nominee of Mortgagee, or the purchaser from
Mortgagee, assignee or nominee, the City shall immediately execute and deliver a new First
Amendment or amend this First Amendment with such party, upon the written request therefor by
such party given not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such party's acquisition of the
Owner's right, title and interest hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 8.4 above, such new
or amended agreement shall be substantially the same in form and content to the provisions of this
First Amendment, except with respect to the parties thereto, and the elimination of any
requirements which have been fulfilled by the Owner prior thereto, and said agreement shall have
priority equal to the priority of this First Amendment. Upon execution and delivery of such new
or amended agreement, the City shall cooperate with the new owner, at the sole expense of said

January 12, 2009
Page 1 of 2
Findings of Fact
A. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility, which will
contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community?
The proposed conditional use permit to allow the construction
of a residential high rise will add to the mixture of housing
opportunities available within the city. The proposed multi-
family residential use (City Place Sky Lofts) within the City
Place development will provide a service to the community by
providing for-sale, high-quality residential housing stock
that will enhance the property values of the surrounding
neighborhoods. Conditions of approval have been included to
ensure the quality and the attractiveness bf the overall
design which will contribute to the general well being of the
community.
B. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular
case be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the
persons residing or working in the vicinity?
The approval of the conditional use permit will not be
detrimental to persons residing or working in the area because
the use, as conditioned,. will not create negative or adverse
impacts. Environmental Impact Report 2007-02 has been prepared
for the proposed project, identifying potential impacts, over-
riding considerations and mitigation measures aimed at reducing
any environmental impact associated with this project. The
addition of persons within a two acre vacant portion of north
Main Street and the City Place development will assist in
promoting the economic viability and enhance the livability
for this area.
C. Will the proposed

The residential tower is a suitable and appropriate use within
the mixed-use development and the District Center setting.
The addition of residential units should increase the
patronage to surrounding businesses, thereby enhancing the
viability of the businesses and assist in identifying City
Place as a viable mixed-use community.

D. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the chapter of the Santa Ana Municipal Code for such
use?
As conditioned and the approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment
No. 2008-04, the proposed project will be in compliance with
all applicable regulations and conditions imposed on high rise
residential units, pursuant to Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code.
E. Will the proposed use affect the General Plan of the City?
The proposed project will not adversely affect the General
Plan. The residential high rise tower is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Element designation of District Center
and the proposed amendments to Specific Development No. 59.
The proposal is supported by the Land Use Element Goal: 2.0, To
promote land uses which enhance the City's economic and fiscal
viability; and Goal 3.0, To promote a balance of land uses to
address basic community needs. Further, General Plan Land Use
Element Policy 1.3 supports high-density residential
development within the City's District Centers as a part of a
master-planned mixed-use development. Also, Policy 1.4
promotes the maintenance and fostering of a variety of
residential land uses in the city. Therefore, a residential
high rise within a mixed-use setting will assist to further the
goals of the District Center designation of the General Plan.

City Place Sky Lofts Fina! Environmental Impact Report Findings
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
3.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The 2.008-acre City Place Sky Lofts project site is situated in the northeastern part of the City of Santa Ana
and is bordered by the City of Orange to the north. The project site is located at the northwestern corner of
Jeanette Lane and Lawson Way. Local access to the project site would be provided from Lawson Way.
Regional access to the project site would be provided by Interstate 5 (I-5) to the south and west and State
Route 22 (SR 22) to the north.
Main Street Concourse, LLC is proposing the City Place Sky Lofts project, which is a high-rise
residential development consisting of a 27-story residential tower; four levels of two-story town homes;
four above-grade parking and two below-grade parking levels; and amenity deck (Podium Level). A total
of 353 for sale residential units will be provided. The 31 story residential tower, which includes a four
level above ground parking structure, will include 333 units and 20 two-story town homes will be located
adjacent to the parking garage.
The objectives for the City Place Sky Lofts project are to:
• Develop the City Place as a commercial and residential center that provides entertainment,
shopping, dining and living opportunities for the residents of Santa Ana and surrounding area,
and that maximizes the advantages of the site's location on Main Street in terms of its visibility
and proximity to SR 22.
• Develop the vacant project site with land uses to help meet the residential needs in the
northeastern part of the City of Santa Ana.
• Provide a Long term development that is of the highest architectural quality and design.
• Provide a landscaping plan that is complementary to the project.
• Provide an exciting and visually cohesive development as viewed both internally and externally.
• Provide development that is consistent with the District Center designation of the General Plan
and which implements the spirit and intent and policies of the General Plan.
• Provide concentrated and internally integrated development rather than development that spreads
activities into adjacent residential neighborhoods.
• Provide a development that provides special design themes which are expressed in building
appearance and configuration, street and pedestrian area design, landscaping, lighting and
signage, and also provides for pedestrian linkages internally and to the surrounding
neighborhood, traffic and service buffering and transitions in architectural scale and character.
• Provide off-street parking sufficient to service the development, consistent with uses contained in
the project.
• Include the provision or replacement of public streets, sidewalks, sewers, stone drains, traffic
signals, lighting systems, and other public facilities and improvements, as necessary.
• Maintain the existing streetscape pattern including sidewalk design, mature trees and light
fixtures.
• Introduce a mixture of multi-family housing types to the district.
• Maximize the residential density of the vacant site in City Place to support the purpose of the
General Plan designation of District Center, which is intended for high intensity development.
The City of Santa Ana is the Lead Agency for the EIR, as defined by Section 21067 of CEQA. The City of
Santa Ana has determined that the EIR is required for the City Place Sky Lofts project pursuant to Section
15063 of the CEQA Guidelines to assess the potential impacts resulting from approval of the project and

City Place Slry Lofts Final Environmentallmpact Report Findings
3.2.3.3 Written Responses to Written Comments
The City evaluated the comments on environmental issues received from persons who reviewed the Draft
EIR. In accordance with CEQA, the City prepared written responses describing the disposition of
significant environmental issues raised in these comments. As required by CEQA, the City has provided
to each of the public agencies that commented on the Draft EIR responses to the comments received from
that agency at least ten days prior to the certification of the Final EIR. The Final EIR provided adequate,
good faith, and reasoned responses to the comments.
Pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, a lead agency is required to recirculate an EIR when
significant new information is added to the EIR after the Notice of Availability is given, but before
certification. The term "information" specifically includes:
(i) Changes to the project,
(ii) Changes in the environmental setting or
(iii) Additional new data or other information.
Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines further provides that "...new information added to an EIR is not
"significant" unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to
comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or
avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project's proponents have declined
to implement."
The City has reviewed the comments received on the Draft EIR and the responses to those comments as
well as other text changes and references that have been incorporated into the Final EIR. Since the
release of the Draft EIR for public review, there have been no changes to the project; no changes in the
environmental setting; and no additional data or information were added to the EIR which would deprive
the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment on the project. Therefore, having reviewed the
information contained in the Draft and Final EIRs and in the administrative record, as well as the
requirements under Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines regarding recirculation of Draft EIRs, the
City hereby finds that there is no new significant information and no need to recirculate the EIR.
Therefore, the Final EIR has been prepared and considered by the City.

4.0 PROJECT IMPACTS AND DISPOSITION OF RELATED
MITGATION MEASURES IDENTIFIED IN THE FINAL EIR
The analysis in the Final EIR identifies all the significant adverse environmental impacts of the City Place
Sky Lofts project. All the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR are included in the project
approval and are made conditions of the City Place Sky Lofts project. The following Findings are made
with respect to each significant adverse environmental impact of the City Place Sky Lofts project. In
addition, the following Findings provide a description of the potential adverse impacts of the project and
the mitigation measures in support of the Findings.
Potentially significant adverse impacts of a project can be divided into two categories:
Potentially significant adverse impacts which can be mitigated to below a level of significance,
based on implementation of identified project features, project mitigation measures, and/or City
of Santa Ana standard conditions of approval.
• Potentially significant adverse impacts which can be partially mitigated, but not to below a level
of significance. As described later in these Findings, the City Place Sky Lofts project will result
in some significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance.
For each potentially significant adverse impact of the City Place Sky Lofts project, one of the following
Findings must be made, including the provision of facts supporting each finding:
• Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
• Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency
and not the agency making the findings. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency
or can and should be adopted by such other agency.
Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of
employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or
project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
4.1 POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS OF THE CITY PLACE
SKY LOFTS PROJECT WHICH CANNOT BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE
Potentially significant adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project which cannot be mitigated to
below a level of significance are described in this Section. The City of Santa Ana City Council finds that
these potentially significant adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project would not be mitigated to
below a level of significance, after implementation of the project mitigation measures. A Statement of
Overriding Considerations (SOC) has been prepared to address these unavoidable significant adverse
impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project, as described later in Section 7.0 (Statement of Overriding
Considerations).

City Place Sky Lofts Final Environmental Impact Report Findings
4.1.1 AESTHETIC IMPACTS RELATED TO SHADE AND SHADOW
4.1.1..1 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Shade and Shadow
As described in Section 4.2 (Aesthetics) of the EIR, the City Place Sky Lofts project would result in
significant adverse impacts related to shade and shadow which would substantially reduce the visual
quality of the residential and park uses that are shaded by the proposed project.
4.1.1.2 Finding Related to Shade and Shadow
Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of
employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
4.1.1.3 Facts in Support ofthe Finding Related to Shade and Shadow
There are no feasible mitigation measures to reduce shade and shadow impacts. Therefore, the significant
adverse impact on the visual quality of residential and park uses that are shaded by the project cannot be
reduced to below a level of significance.
4.1.1.4 Level of Significance of Impacts Related to Shade and Shadow
The adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project related to shade and shadow cannot be mitigated
to below a level of significance.
4.1.2 CUMULATIVE AESTHETIC IMPACTS RELATED TO SHADE AND SHADOW
4.1.2.1 Potentially Significant Cumulative Adverse Impacts Related to Shade and Shadow
As described in Section 5.0 (Cumulative Impacts) of the EIR, in the spring, summer, fall, and winter late
afternoon and early evening the 27-story tower would cast shadow on certain residential uses east of
Lawson Way, northeast of South Parker Street, and southeast of Memory Lane. In the spring, summer,
and fall shadow would also be cast on Santiago Park in the late afternoon and early evening. This impact
cannot be -nitigated and would remain a significant adverse impact of the proposed project. Therefore,
the proposed project would result in significant adverse cumulative impacts on visual quality related to
shade and shadow.
4.1.2.2 Finding Related to Cumulative Shade and Shadow
Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of
employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
4.1.2.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Cumulative Shade and Shadow

GASES (ROG)
4.1.3.1 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Operational ROG Emissions
As described in Section 4.3 (Air Quality) of the EIR, project operations would result in emissions of ROG
which would exceed the operational phase thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD). These ROG emissions cannot be mitigated to below a level of
significance and would constitute an unavoidable significant adverse impact.
4.1.3.2 Finding Related to Operational ROG Emissions
Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of
employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
4.1.3.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Operational ROG Emissions
There are no feasible mitigation measures to substantially reduce ROG emissions during the operational
please. Therefore, the significant adverse impact during operation of the City Place Sky Lofts project
related to ROG emissions cannot be reduced to below a level of significance. Compliance with the
following project mitigation measures will lessen air quality impacts during operation.
AQ-7 All appliances installed as part of the project shall be energy efficient appliances (i.e.,
washer/dryers, refrigerators, stoves, etc.).

4.1.4 LONG-TERM CUMULATIVE IMPACTS RELATED TO ROG EMISSIONS
4.1.4.1 Potentially Significant Cumulative Adverse Impact Related to Operational ROG
Emissions
As discussed above and in Section 5.0 (Cumulative Impacts) of the EIR, the operation-related ROG
emissions of the City Place Sky Lofts project would exceed the applicable SCAQMD thresholds for these
criteria pollutants. The impacts from the proposed project plus related cumulative projects would
additionally contribute to cumulatively significant adverse emissions in the South Coast Air Basin
(Basin), which is already anon-attainment area. This impact is significant and adverse and cannot be
mitigated to below a level of significance.
4.1.4.2 Finding Related to Cumulative Operational ROG Emissions
Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of
employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
4.1.4.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Cumulative Operational ROG Emissions
There are no feasible mitigation measures to substantially reduce ROG emissions during operation of the
proposed project. The significant adverse air quality impacts during operation of the City Place Sky Lofts
project cannot be reduced to below a level of significance. Therefore, the City Place Sky Lofts project
will contribute cumulatively to adverse air quality impacts in the Basin.
4.1.4.4 Level of Significance of Impacts Related to Cumulative Operational ROG Emissions
The contribution of the City Place Sky Lofts project to cumulatively adverse impacts related to ROG
emissions during operation cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance.
4.1.5 TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC IMPACTS RELATED TO ROAD
SEGMENTS
4.1.5.5 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Road Segments in 2010
As described in Section 4.13 (Transportation and Traffic) of the EIR, implementation of the proposed project
would result in temporary traffic impacts. For the 2010 traffic conditions, the Main Street road segment
between La Veta Avenue and Town & Country Road cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance
without amending the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) road classification from a Major Arterial to
a Principal Arterial. The road reclassification from a Major Arterial to a Principal Arterial would provide one
additional lane in each direction. This road reclassification would require an amendment to the City of
Orange General Plan and the City of Santa Ana General Plan.
As discussed in Section 4.13.4.4 (2030 Traffic Impact Analysis), Main Street between La Veta Avenue
and Town & Country Road would operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS) D in 2030 without and
with the proposed project. Daily traffic volumes on Main Street in 2030 were generally forecasted to be
lower than the daily traffic volumes in 2010 because the buildout of the MPAH would provide additional
road capacity on the parallel north-south arterial highways such as Bristol Street to the west and Grand
Avenue to the east. The additional north-south arterial highways road capacities would alleviate traffic
demand on Main Street by shifting some of the traffic demand to Bristol Street and Grand Avenue.

2010
Implementation of the proposed project would result in temporary cumulative traffic impacts. For the 2010
traffic conditions, the Main Street road segment between La Veta Avenue and Town & Country Road cannot
be mitigated to below a level of significance without amending the MPAH road classification from a Major
Arterial to a Principal Arterial The road reclassification from a Major Arterial to a Principal Arterial would
provide one additional lane in each direction. This road reclassification would require an amendment to the
City of Orange General Plan and the City of Santa Ana General Plan. This is considered infeasible for a
temporary traffic impact. This segment will operate at acceptable LOS D in 2030.
4.1.6.2 Finding Related to Cumulative Conditions of Road Segments in 2010
Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of
employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
4.1.6.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Cumulative Conditions of Road Segments

significance, after implementation of the identified project mitigation measL~res.
4.2.1 AESTHETIC IMPACTS RELATED TO LIGHT AND GLARE
4.2.1.1 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Light and Glare
As described in Section 4.2 (Aesthetics) of the EIR, light associated with the proposed residential tower
and parking structure would add to the amount of existing light on and near the project site. Sources of
light would include outdoor lighting and light from windows in the residential tower and town homes, and
nighttime security lighting for the parking structure. This additional light would be potentially
significant.
Implementation of the proposed project could result in additional glare from sunlight reflecting off of
glare-producing building materials. This impact would be potentially significant.
4.2.1.2 Finding Related to Light and Glare
Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially
lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
4.2.1.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Light and Glare
Implementation of mitigation measures AS-2 and AS-3 would reduce the potential impacts to light and
glare to less than significant levels.
AS-2 The project proponent will ensure that all outdoor lighting and fixtures, including lighting
for construction, are shielded or designed and located to minimize nighttime light spillage
onto adjacent uses. Outdoor fixtures will be designed to generate less than 0.25-foot
candle power of light where possible and will direct lighting toward the interior of the
project site.
AS-3 Non-reflective materials shall be utilized to the extent feasible. Building site plans shall
be reviewed and approved by the City Planning and Public Works Department.

Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially
lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
4.2.2.3 Facts in Support ofthe Finding Related to Construction Emissions
The proposed project would result in significant adverse air quality impacts during the construction phase.
Implementation of mitigation measures AQ-1, AQ-2, AQ-3, AQ-4 and AQ-5 would reduce
construction-related air quality impacts to less-than-significant levels.
During construction, the contractor would be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 -Fugitive
Dust. Rule 403 requires that dust generated during demolition and construction activities be suppressed.
Under Rule 403, the project construction activities would be subject to the following requirements:
AQ-1 All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil or other loose materials off-site shall be covered or
wetted or shall maintain at least two feet of freeboard (i. e., minimum vertical distance
between the top of the load and the top of the trailer).
AQ-2 Streets shall be swept hourly if visible soil material has been carried onto adjacent public
paved roads (reclaimed water shall be used if available.)
AQ-3 All active sites shall be watered at least twice daily.
AQ-4 All grading activities that result in dust generation shall cease during second stage smog
alerts and periods of high winds (i.e., greater than 25 miles per hour [mph]) if dust is
being transported to off-site locations and cannot be controlled by watering.
AQ-5 The developer shall use zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content architectural
coatings during the construction of the project to the maximum extent feasible. This
measure would reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) [ROG] emissions by
95 percent over conventional architectural coatings. The following websites provide lists
of manufacturers of zero VOC content coatings:

4.2.6 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IMPACTS RELATED TO
AIRPORT LAND USE PLANS
4.2.6.1 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Airport Land Use Plans
As discussed in Section 4.6 (Hazards and Hazardous Materials) of the EIR, the City Place Sky Lofts
27-story tower is 365 feet 8 inches above the ground at its highest point (a mechanical penthouse).
Because the residential tower exceeds 200 feet in height, any such use (over 200 feet in height) would
substantially fall within the John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP). Therefore, the
proposed project would require filing with the FAA. Implementation of the proposed project could
potentially result in significant impacts related to aviation hazards.
4.2.6.2 Finding Related to Airport Land Use Plans
Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially
lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.

Ciry Place Sky Lofts Finad Environmental Lmpact
An Initial Study (IS) was completed at the beginning of the environmental review process for the City Place
Sky Lofts project, to identify those impacts that could be potentially significant and adverse and which
required further study in an EIR. The IS also provided analysis on the environmental impacts of the project
that were determined to be less than significant due to the identification and incorporation of mitigation early
in the process or based on compliance with existing regulations. The Findings of the IS are summarized in
Section 3.0 (Effects Found Not to be Significant) in the EIR.
The EIR and IS determined, based on substantial evidence in the record, that the following effects of the
project would have no significant adverse or no adverse impact on the environment.
4.3.1 AESTHETICS
Based on the analysis summarized in Section 3.0 (Impacts Found Not to be Significant) of the EIR, the
City Place Sky Lofts project will not result in significant adverse impacts related to scenic vistas and
scenic resources.
As described in Section 4.2 (Aesthetics) in the EIR, the City Place Sky Lofts project will not substantially
degrade the existing visual character of the site. Although impacts of the proposed project related to
visual character are less than significant, mitigation measure AS-1 has been included to reduce potential
visual impacts related to above-ground utilities.
AS-1 All above-ground utilities shall, unless technically infeasible, be located within
the 2.008-acre project site, and not on adjoining public right-of--way. The project
applicant shall screen these utilities from the public right-of--way, and shall grant
appropriate easements to the affected utility. This mitigation would apply to electricity,
phone, cable TV, gas, and water utilities.

will not exceed AQMD thresholds for nitrogen dioxide (NOZ), carbon monoxide (CO) sulfur oxides (SOx),
particulate matter (PM ~o), and fine particulates (PMzs) during construction or operation.
A significant impact determination associated with global climate change of the proposed project was
determined to be speculative because no adopted thresholds of significance currently exist for measuring
the impact of global climate change on or from a project. However, mitigation measures AQ-7, AQ-8,
AQ-9 and AQ-10, provided below, have been included to reduce project emissions that could contribute
to global warming.

4.3.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Based on the analysis summarized in Section 3.0 (Impacts Found Not to be Significant) of the EIR, the City
Place Sky Lofts project will not result in significant adverse impacts related to groundwater recharge and
natural water bodies, or exposure to flood risk. There would be no impact related to placement of housing or
structures within the 100-year floodplain, or inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow.
The Hydrology Report provided in Appendix F of the Draft EIR identified that existing off-site drainage
facilities would have adequate capacity to accommodate storm water runoff generated from
implementation of the proposed project. Therefore, impacts related to on- or ofl=site flooding and
capacity of existing storm water drainage systems related to implementation of the proposed project
would be less than significant. However, mitigation measures W-1 and W-2 would ensure that planned
drainage facilities would be approved by the City and installed prior to issuance of permits.
W-1 Prior to issuance of grading permits, the applicant shall submit a Final drainage plan
identifying the exact size and location of drainage facilities.
W-2 The applicant shall construct facilities on the project site to transport storm water from
the site to the City's/County's drainage facilities. All such facilities will be subject to the
review and approval of the City Engineer and shall be installed prior to the issuance of
permits.
4.3.9 LAND USE AND PLANNING
Based on the analysis summarized in Section 3.0 (Impacts Found Not to be Significant) of the EIR, the City
Place Sky Lofts project will not result in significant adverse impacts related to division of an established
community or conflict with a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan.
As described in Section 4.8 (Land Use and Planning) of the EIR, impacts of the proposed project related
to land use plans and policies would be less than significant.
4.3.10 MINERAL RESOURCES

City Place Sky Lofts Flnal Environmental Impact Report Findings
As discussed in Section 4.10 (Population and Housing) of the EIR, direct and indirect impacts related to
population growth associated with implementation of the project would be less than significant.
4.3.13 PUBLIC SERVICES
As discussed in Section 4.11 (Public Services) of the EIR, impacts related to public services associated
with implementation of the proposed project would be less than significant. However, mitigation
measure P-1 is included to ensure that coordination with the Santa Ana Police Department is maintained
and security measures are incorporated into the project design and construction. Mitigation measure P-2
is included to ensure the timing of payment of school fees.
P-1 Prior to the issuance of permits, the applicant shall coordinate with the City Police
Department to prepare a Security Plan for the residential components of the project. This

Based on the analysis summarized in Section 3.0 (Impacts Found Not to be Significant) of the EIR, the City
Place Sky Lofts project will not result in significant adverse impacts related to air traffic patterns or air traffic
levels that would result in an increase in safety risks. Aviation requirements are described under
Section 4.2.6 of this Findings and Facts Report.
As described in Section 4.13 (Transportation and Traffic) of the EIR, implementation of the proposed
project would not create a significant adverse parking impact if the proposed project were to provide five
additional handicapped parking spaces in the tenant parking lot. However, the current SD-59 would be
amended to incorporate an updated parking requirement that would reflect the proposed project parking
ratios.
4.3.15 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
As described in Section 4.14 (Utilities and Service Systems) of the EIR, the City Place Sky Lofts project
will result in increased demand for electricity, natural gas, communications systems, and domestic water,
and will result in increased generation of waste water and solid waste, compared to existing conditions on
the project site. This increased demand/generation will be within the capability of the individual utility
providers. Although there are no significant adverse impacts to utilities and service systems, the
following mitigation measures are included to ensure that coordination with public utility providers are
maintained.
U-1 The applicant shall coordinate with the utility companies serving the site to establish
service connections prior to construction.

U-2 Any pre-existing underground utilities at the site shall be located prior to construction
and abandoned or removed in accordance with state and local codes and regulations.
Any utility trenches shall be backfilled under the observation and testing of the resident
engineer or inspector.
U-3 The applicant shall pay its fair share of necessary telephone improvements including a
main conduit structure to bring lines into the project site. Coordination with AT&T
and/or Time Warner during the development stage would facilitate service connection.
5.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
When making Findings, CEQA requires that a lead agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring program
for the changes to the project that it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to ensure
compliance during project implementation. The MMRP for the City Place Sky Lofts project,
accompanying the Final EIR, is designed to serve this purpose for the mitigation measures identified in
the Final EIR. The MMRP requires the City to monitor mitigation measures designed to reduce or
eliminate significant adverse project impacts, as well as those mitigation measures designed to reduce
environmental impacts that are less than significant. The MMRP includes all mitigation measures
identified in the Final EIR and has been designed to ensure compliance during implementation of the
project.
The City finds that the impacts of the project have been mitigated to the extent feasible by the mitigation
measures identified in the Final EIR and the MMRP. The City adopts the MMRP for the City Place Sky
Lofts project. The MMRP designates responsibility and the anticipated timing for the implementation of
mitigation measures and conditions within the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Ana. That MMRP is
hereby adopted and its implementation is made a condition of approval of the City Place Sky Lofts
project.
The City approves and will implement all the mitigation measures in the Final EIR.
6.0 ALTERNATIVES
An EIR prepared pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines must describe and comparatively evaluate
a range of alternatives to the proposed project (Section 15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines). Analysis of
every possible alternative or options or combination of options would overburden the EIR with an
unnecessary amount of detail that would be redundant and complex and would, as a result, fail to provide
meaningful information for the City to consider in its review of the project. To develop alternatives that
are analyzed in the EIR, a list of potential alternatives was prepared. For this analysis, the project
alternatives were evaluated to determine the extent to which they meet the basic project objectives, while
avoiding or substantially lessening any significant adverse impacts of the proposed project.
The City of Santa Ana selected the alternatives discussed below for a variety of reasons. The goal for
evaluating alternatives was to identify ways to mitigate or avoid the significant adverse impacts of the
proposed project.

City Place Sky Lofts Final Environmental Impact Report Findings
6.1 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BUT REJECTED
6.1.1 ALTERNATIVE SITE FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The EIR does not analyze an alternative site for the City Place Sky Lofts project because the applicant
does not own or control another suitable property in the City of Santa Ana. The City Place Sky Lofts
project would generate approximately the same traffic and air quality emissions at any other location in
the City, to the same or greater extent than at the proposed site. Therefore, locating the City Place Sky
Lofts project at another site in the City would essentially shift the project's adverse impacts to that other
location, but would not be expected to avoid or substantially reduce those impacts. However, it should be
noted that the traffic impacts which occur in the City of Orange under the City Place Sky Lofts project
could possibly be located to an area entirely within the City of Santa Ana if an alternative project site
were considered, but the level of impact would remain comparable. As a result, an alternative site for the
proposed project was not evaluated in the Draft EIR.
6.2 NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
6.2.1 NO PROJECT/EXISTING CONDITIONS ALTERNATIVE
This No Project Alternative assumes that the existing 2.008-acre project site remains as is and that no
development occurs on the site. With this Alternative, the site would remain vacant and no residential or
commercial uses would be developed. Table 9-1 from the Draft EIR, on the following page, indicates that
the No Project/Existing Conditions Alternative would not meet any of the objectives for the City Place
Sky Lofts project.
6.2.2 NO PROJECT/EXISTING ENTITLEMENT ALTERNATIVE
This No Project Alternative assumes that the 2.008-acre project site would be developed consistent with the
existing approved entitlements for the project site per SD-59. The existing entitlements would allow for one
dwelling unit per acre. This No Project Alternative would result in two additional housing units and would
result in a substantially lower land use density on the project site than the proposed project that consists of
353 residential dwelling units. However, this No Project Alternative would not meet the objectives for the
City Place Sky Lofts project.
6.3 TOWN HOME ALTERNATIVE
The Town Home Alternative consists of 57 town homes on the project site. This alternative is the same
design as proposed for the site in the original City Place project in 2004. However, only two dwelling
units were entitled for the site. This Alternative would reduce the development on the project site
by 296 residential dwelling units compared to the City Place Sky Lofts project. This Town Home
Alternative would meet all but one of the project objectives. This Alternative would provide 296 fewer
dwelling units than the proposed project, and therefore would not meet the project objective to maximize
residential density on the site.

The proposed project meets all the defined project objectives. The Town Home Alternative meets all but
one of the project objectives. Both the No Project Alternatives fail to meet any of the defined project
objectives. However, the No Project/Existing Conditions Alternative does avoid all the significant
adverse impacts of the proposed project and other project alternatives because site conditions would
remain as they currently exist.
Although the No Project/Existing Entitlements Alternative fails to meet any of the defined project
objectives, the impacts of this Alternative would be substantially less than the impacts under the proposed
project. This is because this Alternative would result in a substantial reduction of development on the
project site. Therefore, this Alternative would eliminate the significant unavoidable adverse impacts
associated with the proposed project and would result in substantially less impacts than under the
proposed project.
6.5 ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE
Section 15126.6(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR identify the environmentally superior
alternative. If the No Project Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR must
identify an environmentally superior alternative among the remaining alternatives.
As shown in Table 9-l, the proposed project is anticipated to result in significant unavoidable adverse
impacts related to:

City Place Sky Lofts Final E'nvironrnental Impact Report Findings
• Aesthetics
• Air Quality
• Traffic
The No Project/Existing Conditions Alternative is not anticipated to result in any significant unavoidable
adverse impacts because it does not propose any development on the project site.
The No Project/Existing Entitlement Alternative is not anticipated to result in any significant unavoidable
adverse impacts, and impacts would be substantially less than under the proposed project because of the
substantially reduced amount of development on the project site under this Alternative.
The Town Home Alternative would result in less-than-significant impacts except for potential short-term
traffic impacts. All impacts of the Town Home Alternative would be less than under the proposed project
because this Alternative would result in less intense development on the project site.
As shown in Table 9-l, because the No Project/Existing Conditions Alternative and No Project/Existing
Entitlement Alternative do not result in any significant unavoidable adverse impacts and would result in
even less impacts than the Town Home Alternative, they are the environmentally superior alternatives.
CEQA requires the identification of an additional feasible environmentally superior alternative when the
No Project Alternative is determined to be the environmentally superior alternative. Many of the
environmental impacts of the proposed project and the project Alternatives are directly related to the size
or intensity of the development and, in general, projects of higher intensity will generally result in more
adverse impacts compared to alternatives of a lower intensity. As shown in Table 9-1, the Town Home
Alternative would result in fewer significant unavoidable adverse impacts than the proposed project.
Therefore, of the build alternatives, the Town Home Alternative is the environmentally superior
alternative.
7.0 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
The City of Santa Ana has balanced the benefits of the City Place Sky Lofts project against its ~mavoidable
adverse environmental impacts in determining that the specific economic, legal, social, technological, and/or
other benefits outweigh the unavoidable significant adverse envirommental impacts of the project. Section
15093(b) of the CEQA Guidelines provides that when the decision of a public agency results in the
occurrence of significant adverse impacts that are identified in the Final EIR but are not substantially
mitigated, the agency must state in writing the reasons to support its actions based on the Final EIR and/or
other information in the record. The reasons set forth below are based on the Final EIR and other information
in the record.
Based on the substantial evidence in the record, including but not limited to the Final EIR, the City finds that
the benefits of the City Place Sky Lofts project outweigh its unavoidable adverse environmental impacts and,
furthermore, finds that such adverse environmental effects are acceptable. Each of the separate benefits of
the project, as stated below, is determined to be, unto itself and independent of other project benefits, a basis
for overriding all unavoidable adverse impacts identified in these Findings. The reasons for the approval of
the project despite the occurrence of significant unavoidable adverse impacts related to aesthetics, air quality,
and traffic are:
1. The project would allow the City to achieve the objectives and to avoid or minimize significant adverse
environmental impacts to the extent feasible. The project will:

January 23, 2009
75A-141
City Place Sky Lofts Final Environmental
Findings
• Develop the City Place as a commercial and residential center that provides entertainment,
shopping, dining, and living opportunities for the residents of Santa Ana and surrounding area,
and that maximizes the advantages of the site location on Main Street in terms of its visibility and
proximity to SR 22.
• Develop the vacant project site with land uses to help meet the residential needs in the
northeastern part of the City of Santa Ana.
• Provide development that is consistent with the District Center designation of the General Plan
and which contributes to the continued revitalization of the northeastern area of the City of Santa
Ana.
• Provide concentrated and internally integrated development rather than development that spreads
activities into adjacent residential neighborhoods. Introduce a mixture of multi-family housing
types to the district.
• Maximize the residential density of the vacant site in City Place to support the purpose of the
General Plan designation of District Center, which is intended for high intensity development.
2. The project would be consistent with existing development in the area which reflects an urban
environment preserving the aesthetic qualities of the City and helping to make the area a source of pride
to people living and working in Santa Ana and for visitors to the City.
3. Furthermore, there are no alternative sites in the City that are suitable for this project, as described in the
Final EIR. Therefore, there are no feasible alternative sites or mitigation measures that would reduce or
eliminate the significant unavoidable adverse impacts of the proposed project related to aesthetics, air
quality, and traffic.
For the reasons stated above, and based on substantial evidence in the record before it, the City finds that the
unavoidable adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project related to aesthetics, air quality, and traffic
are acceptable and, furthermore, finds that the benefits of the project outweigh its unavoidable adverse
environmental impacts.

75A-147
PART I. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
City Place Specific Development District is located within the northern area of the
City. The City Place Specific Development District encompasses a large vacant
property bounded by Main Street to the west, Memory Lane to the south, Lawson
Way to the east and the City boundaries to the north. A regional mall,
professional offices, a senior care facility and Santiago Park surround the project
site.
The City Place Specific Development District maintains a commercial corridor
along Main Street while introducing a residential character along the eastern
portion of the district, with a mixture of live-work1 townhome lags and
high rise tower. The City Place mixed-use project is intended to be an addition to
the commercial corridor and an infusion of housing to the district along the north
Main Street section of the City. In addition, the mixed use plan for this site will
result in the project becoming a node, or place of activity. The objectives of the
City Place Specific Development Plan includes the provision of the following:
A long-term development that is of the highest architectural quality
and design;
2. A landscaping plan that is complementary to a large scale mixed
use development;
An exciting and visually cohesive development as viewed both
internally and externally;
4. A bold but integrated sign program suitable for a mixed use project
of this scale and scope;
5. A development that is consistent with the District Center
designation of the General Plan and which implements the spirit
and intent and policies of the General Plan;
6. Concentrated and internally integrated development rather than
development that spreads activities into adjacent residential
neighborhoods;
7. A development that provides special design themes which are
expressed in building appearance and configuration, street and
pedestrian area design, landscaping, lighting and signage, and also
provides for pedestrian linkages internally and to the surrounding
neighborhood, traffic and service buffering and transitions in
architectural scale and character;

PART III. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The City Place Specific Development District is intended to allow the development
of a mixed-use project maintaining a commercial presence along Main Street, while
introducing a mixture of multiple family housing to the eastern portion of the
development site. The following general development standards are applicable to
this project:
A. Floor Area Ratio/Density.
The following sets forth the maximum allowable floor areas for the
various permitted use classifications of the project. The overall Floor
Area Ratio ("FAR") of the Main Street Concourse project of
approximately 2.54. This FAR represents the maximum intensity of
development for the site.
Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.)
The maximum floor area ratio for the project site shall be 2.54. The
FAR is calculated by dividing the total square footage of the
structures by the total square footage of the project site. Consistent
with the General Plan, parking structures are not included in the FAR
calculation.
2. Parcel Size
The City Place development project site is 17.7 acres. Subdivision of
the parcel shall be consistent with Vesting Tract Map No. 2004-06
(County No. 16565). In no case shall commercial buildable parcels be
less than 6 acres in size and residential buildable parcels be less than 2
acres in size.
3. Screening
All appurtenances shall be located outside any required setback
and shall be screened from view.
4. Parking
A. As a mixed-use development, the Specific Development
standards recognize the opportunity to share parking
amongst the mixture of commercial uses. In addition the
SD 59 acknowledges that the mix and proximity of
residential units and commercial space allows for the
opportunity for a variety of transportation modes, primarily
walking as an alternative. As such, the following parking is
required:
8
75A-154
a. Parking has been calculated utilizing the Urban
Land Institute methodology for shared parking. As
such, the following square footage can be utilized
within the commercial area of the City Place
development project:

PART VI. SIGNAGE
A. Intent.
Every sign in the City Place project will be part of a planned sign program
which will be submitted for Planning Division review and approval in
accordance with the criteria set forth in this Plan and SAMC. The purpose
of this section is to set forth permitted sign types and provide minimum
standards for signs within the City Place Specific Development Plan.
Consequently, this document identifies and specifies those design criteria
for the planned sign program which are different than those set forth in the
Code. In considering the planned sign program, the provisions of the Plan
shall control.
The City Place project is envisioned as a superior quality urban-style
mixed-use complex, and architecturally spectacular. Environmental
graphic design will be innovative and attractive but never excessive.
Tenant identification on the perimeter of the project (i.e. external signage)
will be held to a practical minimum. However, it is critical that the
internal signage, particularly the signage along the Cit P~ ~,
be compatible with the kind of exciting dynamic environment which is
intended to be created.
B. Sign Message Categories.
The project sign program shall address the following categories of
information:
• Project and major facilities identification at site entries
• Tenant identification signage
• Regulatory vehicular signage
• Directional vehicular signage
• Street identification
• Informational pedestrian signage
• Directional pedestrian signage
• Building identification signage
• Site directories and orientation maps
• Service signage
• Parking level and area identification signage
• Visitor directional and informational signage
• Building address signage
• Building site directories
• Typical door identification signage
• Restroom and telephone identification signage
• Operation information signage

(1) Upon an Owner Event of Default, the City through the Executive Director
shall submit to Owner, a written notice of default, in the manner provided in Section 4.10 of the
Amended Agreement, identifying with specificity the nature of the alleged default and, when

after receipt of the notice of default and shall complete the cure in any event not later than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the notice of default, or such longer period as is

diligently pursue such remedy at all times until such default(s) is cured. If Owner has failed to
remedy or diligently proceed to remedy such default(s) after proper notice and expiration of said
one hundred and twenty (120) day cure period or such extended period as provided herein, the
City may terminate or amend this First Amendment in accordance with the procedure adopted by
the City. Failure or delay in giving notice of default shall not constitute a waiver of any default,

after the filing of such appeal. In the event of a finding and determination that all defaults are
cured, there shall be no appeal by any person or entity.

the same is in writing and signed by the Owner, shall be sufficient to terminate this First
Amendment and a hearing on the matter shall not be required.

performance by the Owner unprofitable or more difficult or more expensive does not excuse the
performance of the obligation by the Property Owner.
(7) All other remedies at law or in equity which are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this First Amendment are available to the parties to pursue in the event
there is a breach.

mortgage, deed of trust, or other security device (or any number of them) securing financing with
respect to the Sky Lofts Property or its improvement (any such encumbrance, a "Mortgage").
8.2 Entitlement to Written Notice of Default. The mortgagee of a mortgage
or beneficiary of a deed of trust encumbering the Sky Lofts Property or any part thereof and their
successors and assigns ("Mortgagee") shall, upon written request to the City, be entitled to
receive from the City written notification of any Owner Event of Default.
8.3 Performance of Covenants. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but no
obligation, to perform any term, covenant or condition and to remedy any Owner Event of
Default hereunder within the time periods specified herein, and the City shall accept such

said Mortgagee shall not thereby or hereby be subrogated to the rights of the City.
8.4 Default by the Owner. In the event of an Owner Event of Default that
has not been cured by the Owner or as to which there is no cure period hereunder, the City agrees
not to terminate this First Amendment (1) unless and until the City provides written notice of
such default to any Mortgagee and such Mortgagee shall have failed to cure such Owner Event of

applicable Owner cure period, and (2) as long as:
(a) In the case of an Owner Event of Default that cannot practicably be
cured by the Mortgagee without taking possession of the Sky Lofts Property (which defaults shall
not include defaults "not susceptible of being cured" as defined below), (i) the Mortgagee has
delivered to the City, prior to the date on which the City shall be entitled to give notice of
termination, a written instrument wherein the Mortgagee unconditionally agrees that (subject to
such delays as maybe incident to obtaining a relief from stay in the case of a
is
75A-196
bankruptcy/dissolution event) it will commence and diligently pursue cure of such Owner Event
of Default promptly following its obtaining possession and; (ii) said Mortgagee shall proceed
diligently to obtain possession of the Sky Lofts Property (including possession by receiver)

bankruptcy/dissolution event) and, upon obtaining such possession, shall proceed diligently to
cure such Owner Event of Default; and
(b) In the case of an Owner Event of Default that is not susceptible to
being cured by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee shall institute foreclosure proceedings and
diligently prosecute the same to completion (subject to such delays as maybe incident to
obtaining a relief from stay in the case of a bankruptcy/dissolution event) (unless in the meantime
it shall acquire the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder, either in its own name or through a
nominee, by assignment in lieu of foreclosure) and upon such completion of acquisition or
foreclosure such Owner Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured.

possession as Mortgagee of the Sky Lofts Property pursuant to Subsection 8.4(a) above, or to
continue to prosecute foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Subsection 8.4(b) above, if and when
such Owner Event of Default shall be cured. Nothing herein shall preclude the City from
exercising any of its rights or remedies with respect to any other Owner Event of Default during
any period of such forbearance, but in such event the Mortgagee shall have all of its rights
provided f'or herein. If the Mortgagee, its nominee, or a purchaser in a foreclosure sale, shall
acquire title to Owner's right, title and interest hereunder and shall cure all Owner Events of
Defaults t11at are susceptible of being cured by the Mortgagee or by said purchaser, as the case
maybe, then prior Owner Events of Default that are not susceptible to being cured by the
Mortgagee or by said purchaser shall no longer be deemed Owner Events of Default hereunder.
Except as set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall require any Mortgagee
to cure any Owner Event of Default.

whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power contained in a Mortgage, or any

purchaser or other transferee in connection therewith as the Owner hereunder provided that such
purchaser or transferee assumes, subject to the terms of Section 8.4 above, each and all of the
obligations of the Owner hereunder pursuant to an assumption First Amendment satisfactory to
the City. If any Mortgagee or its nominee or assignee shall acquire the Owner's right, title and
interest hereunder as a result of a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure under any Permitted
Mortgage, or by means of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or through settlement of or arising out of
any pending or contemplated foreclosure action, such Mortgagee shall thereafter have the right to
assign or transfer the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder to an assignee upon obtaining the
City's consent with respect thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
13
75A-197
Upon such acquisition of the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder as described in the
preceding sentence by either Mortgagee, or the assignee or nominee of Mortgagee, or the
purchaser from Mortgagee, assignee or nominee, the City shall immediately execute and deliver a
new First Amendment or amend this First Amendment with such party, upon the written request
therefor by such party given not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such party's
acquisition of the Owner's right, title and interest hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 8.4

provisions of this First Amendment, except with respect to the parties thereto, and the
elimination of any requirements which have been fulfilled by the Owner prior thereto, and said
agreement shall have priority equal to the priority of this First Amendment. Upon execution and

discharge this First Amendment and to remove Owner named herein from the Sky Lofts
Property.

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

75A-208 Page 1 of 6
C. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public
hearing on the abovesaid actions for Sky Lofts Development on February
2, 2009, and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral.
D. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2008-04 seeks to subdivide the land and
future residential condominiums. The City Council of the City of Santa
Ana determines that the following findings have been established:
The proposed project, as conditioned, and its design and
improvements are consistent with the Low Density Residential land
use designation of the General Plan and are otherwise consistent
with all other elements of the General Plan and any applicable
specific plans.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2008-04 (County Map No.
17242) is consistent with the land use designation and density
prescribed in the General Plan and will have no adverse affect
on the surrounding land uses in the area .
2. The proposed project, as conditioned, conforms to all applicable
requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes, as well as other
applicable City ordinances.
The proposed subdivision conforms to the minimum
condominium requirements, as well as meets the letter and
intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act
provisions. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 2008-04 is in
keeping with the provisions of the site plan review
(Development Project No. 2006-46) and Chapters 34 and 41
of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, all of which pertain to the
subdivision of land and development standards for the site.
Further, the map will be consistent with Zoning Ordinance
Amendment No. 2008-04.
3. The project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the
proposed project.
The project site consists of approximately two acres of land
within Specific Development No. 59. The proposed
subdivision contains many street frontages, maintaining
adequate frontage for each parcel. Vesting Tract Map No.
17242 has been determined to be capable of supporting the
type and density of the proposed project. There are no
physical constraints on the site to preclude development.
4. The design and improvements of the proposed project will not
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
There are no wetlands or unusual flora or fauna on or
around the project site. No development surrounding this
Resolution No. 2009-XXX
75A-209 Page 2 of 6
site will be substantially affected by this proposal.
Environmental Impact Report 2007-02 has been prepared
for the proposed project, identifying potential impacts, over-
riding considerations and mitigation measures aimed at
reducing any environmental impact associated with this
project.
5. The design or improvements of the proposed project will not cause
serious public health problems.
The proposed infill development within amixed-use
development is for a residential high-rise tower and will be in
compliance with all regulations and conditions specified in
the Santa Ana Municipal Code and the Specific
Development No. 59 development standards in conjunction
with the proposed conditions and building requirements.
6. The design of improvements of the proposed project will not conflict
with easements necessary for public access through or use of the
property within the proposed project.
There are no easements that would affect the use or
development of this site. Approval of Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 2008-04 (County Map No. 17242) will not create
conflicts with the easements necessary for public access
through the property, as no such easements currently exist.
Public access will be allowed to the site as this development,
as an urban project concept, encourages pedestrian and
public activity.
E. Applicant is seeking Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-34 to allow the
project. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the
Planning Commission to grant a conditional use permit upon making
certain findings.
Will the proposed use provide a service or facility, which will
contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or
community?
The proposed conditional use permit to allow the
construction of a residential high rise will add to the mixture
of housing opportunities available within the city. The
proposed multi-family residential use (City Place Sky Lofts)
within the City Place development will provide a service to
the community by providing for-sale, high-quality residential
housing stock that will enhance the property values of the
surrounding neighborhoods. Conditions of approval have
been included to ensure the quality and the attractiveness of
the overall design which will contribute to the general well
being of the community.
Resolution No. 2009-XXX
75A-2 ~ ~ Page 3 of 6
2. Will the proposed use under the circumstances of the particular
case be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the
persons residing or working in the vicinity?
The approval of the conditional use permit will not be
detrimental to persons residing or working in the area
because the use, as conditioned, will not create negative or
adverse impacts. Environmental Impact Report 2007-02 has
been prepared for the proposed project, identifying potential
impacts, over-riding considerations and mitigation measures
aimed at reducing any environmental impact associated with
this project. The addition of persons within a two acre
vacant portion of north Main Street and the City Place
development will assist in promoting the economic viability
and enhance the livability for this area.
3. Will the proposed use adversely affect the present economic
stability or future economic development of property in the
surrounding area?
The approval of the conditional use permit will not be
detrimental to persons residing or working in the area
because the use, as conditioned, will not create negative or
adverse impacts. Environmental Impact Report 2007-02 has
been prepared for the proposed project, identifying potential
impacts, over-riding considerations and mitigation measures
aimed at reducing any environmental impact associated with
this project. The addition of persons within a two acre
vacant portion of north Main Street and the City Place
development will assist in promoting the economic viability
and enhance the livability for this area.
4. Will the proposed use comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the chapter of the Santa Ana Municipal Code for such
use?
As conditioned and the approval of Zoning Ordinance
Amendment No. 2008-04, the proposed project will be in
compliance with all applicable regulations and conditions
imposed on high rise residential units, pursuant to Chapter
41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code.
5. Will the proposed use affect the General Plan of the City?
The proposed project will not adversely affect the General
Plan. The residential high rise tower is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Element designation of District
Center and the proposed amendments to Specific
Development No. 59. The proposal is supported by the
Land Use Element Goal: 2.0, To promote land uses which
Resolution No. 2009-XXX
75A-211 Page 4 of 6
enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability; and Goal
3.0, To promote a balance of land uses to address basic
community needs. Further, General Plan Land Use Element
Policy 1.3 supports high-density residential development
within the City's District Centers as a part of a master-
planned mixed-use development. Also, Policy 1.4 promotes
the maintenance and fostering of a variety of residential land
uses in the city. Therefore, a residential high rise within a
mixed-use setting will assist to further the goals of the
District Center designation of the General Plan.
F.. Applicant is requesting approval of Site Plan Review No. 2004-05. Santa
Ana Municipal Code Section 41-493.5 requires approval of all plans for
projects within a specific development district to ensure the project is in
conformity with the specific development standards.
G. By prior action this date, the City Council has approved and certified the
Environmental Impact Report for this proposed project.
H. The Request For Council Action and all matters presented to the Council
are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth.

DI ~C'i1S ST(~N
In September 2005, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approved and
authorized several actions to facilitate the 30,000 square foot expansion of
the Bowers Museum. As part of the transaction, the City effectuated a land
exchange with Steadfast Companies, a residential developer who owned the
property immediately north of the Museum. Under the exchange, Steadfast was
to develop a luxury condominium project on the City's existing 20th Street
parking lot, and the Museum was to expand its operation on the northerly
Steadfast parcel.
The Museum has completed its $14 million expansion; however, the Steadfast
development has been on hold due to market conditions. Steadfast recently
expressed a willingness to sell the lot to the Agency as they are not
interested in pursuing development of the site. Steadfast has agreed to
sell their parcel to the Agency for $1,300,000, which is considerably below
market value. In turn, the Agency proposes to enter into a Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) with the Museum for parking on an interim basis
and future museum expansion. The DDA provides that the Agency will convey
the property to Bowers for $1. At such time as Bowers determines the scope
of its future expansion, the appropriate zoning actions will be taken. In
the meantime, the existing parking lot will remain and be maintained by
Bowers. The DDA contains a deed restriction for the term of the project
area (2026) to allow only a public and/or museum use on the property. In
return for the property, the Bowers Corporation will be reimbursing the
City's general fund for prior year operating expenses in the amount of $1.3
million. These funds will be paid after close of escrow on the parking lot
parcel. The City Council will need to take a subsequent action to
appropriate the funds once received.
