RESOLUTION NO. 2025-034 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT NO. 2025-03 TO ALLOW A FIFTEEN-UNIT MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING THREE UNITS PROPOSED AS AFFORDABLE TO VERY LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2130 E. FOURTH STREET (APN: 400-091-23) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE City Council OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Donald Verleur ("Applicant"), with Olive Crest ("Property Owner"), is requesting approval of Density Bonus Application (DBA) No. 2025-03 to allow the construction of a fifteen-unit multi-family residential development, including three units proposed as affordable to very low- income households earning less than 30-50 percent of the area median income (AM[), at the property located at 2130 E. Fourth Street ("Project"). B. The California Density Bonus generally law allows developers to seek increases in base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units feasible, the law also generally allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or waivers of, or reductions in, development standards. C. Section 41-1607 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires an application for a deviation (incentives/concessions and/or waivers or reductions) to be approved by the Planning Commission. D. On June 23, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and, at that time, considered all testimony, written and oral, and approved, based on findings, the application for four (4) deviations (three concessions and one waiver), to be memorialized in Density Bonus Agreement No. 2025-03.
