RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of an application to the
California Department of Housing and Community Development for the
expansion of the Santa Ana Enterprise Zone.
DISCUSSION
On September 2, 2009, the City of Santa Ana received a Final Designation
from the California Department of Housing and Community Development for a
new 15-year Enterprise Zone, which was retroactively effective to June 8,
2008.
The Enterprise Zone program was established by the State of California
Legislature for the purpose of stimulating the economy in areas deemed by
the State to be economically challenged. The program offers State Tax
Incentives to businesses in the zone which, in turn, helps the City
retain and attract companies within the zone.
The program regulations allow for Enterprise Zones to expand their zone
by up to fifteen percent of the originally approved area. The fifteen
ercent ex ansion areas do not have to meet the strict re uirements of
P P q
the original Enterprise Zone areas. Through the expansion process, more
businesses will become eligible to reduce their costs by taking advantage
of the various Enterprise Zone State Tax incentives. A map depicting the
current and proposed zone boundaries is attached as Exhibit 1.
