DISCUSSION Reauest of the Applicant Mr. Gamaliel Vasquez, property owner of 1302 East Fourteenth Street, is requesting approval of a general plan amendment, amendment application, and variance to allow the construction of a new single-family residence. As part of this request, two adjacent parcels are also proposed to be redesignated from commercial to a residential general plan land use and zoning designation. Additionally, the applicant is requesting approval of a variance from Sections 41-603 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) to reduce the required 29 foot prevailing front yard setback for 1302 East Fourteenth Street. Protect Location and Site Description The overall project site includes three parcels. One parcel Is a 4,813 square foot vacant lot located on the southeast corner of Fourteenth Street and Grand Avenue, proposed by the applicant for a new single-family residence. The other adjacent two parcels are located to the east of the vacant EXHIBIT A 75C-3 GPA No. 2011-03, AA No. 2011-02 & VA No. 2011-09 January 23, 2012 Page 2 parcel at 1306 and 1310 East Fourteenth; each with an existing single-family residence. The project area is surrounded by single family residences to the north and east, a multiple-family apartment complex and vacant lot to the south, and a combination of single family and commercial uses to the west (Exhibits 1 and 2). Project Description The applicant proposes to construct a 1,170 square foot single-story, single family residence with an attached 448 square foot two-car garage at 1302 East Fourteenth Street. The current General Plan land use designation for the vacant site and two adjacent residentially developed lots is General Commercial (GC), and zoned as Arterial Commercial (C5). This land use designation and zoning does not permit single family residences. As highlighted below, the proposed one-story residence has been designed to meet or exceed the single family residential standards, with the exception of the front yard setback. Proposed Required Front yard 24.4 ft 29 ft Side yard East 5 ft 5 ft Side yard West loft loft Rear yard 21.5 ft 20 ft Lot size 4,813 ft 4,000 ft (if resulted from legal subdivision) Street frontage 62.64 ft 50 ft Lot coverage maximum 34.4% 35% On-site parking 4 space (2 enclosed) 4 space (2 enclosed) The proposed residence includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage (Exhibits 3 and 4). The architecture of the proposed new residence includes multiple building materials including brick veneer and stucco; as well as accents of wood siding and window trim. The proposed architecture meets the Citywide Design Guidelines and is compatible with the existing architectural styles of the neighborhood and housing along Fourteenth Street. A six foot decorative block perimeter wall is proposed, with an enhanced landscape edge along Grand Avenue (Exhibits 5 and 6). Project Background The vacant lot at 1302 East Fourteenth Street is a remnant parcel from the Santa Ana Freeway realignment and improvements, and identified in the 1-5 Widening Remnant Parcels Reuse Plan (9995) for future residential development. In 2002, the applicant submitted a similar request to amend the General Plan land use and zoning designation and allow a variance to construct a single-family residence at 1302 East Fourteenth Street. Initially, staff recommended approval of the required discretionary actions. The proposal was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its April 8 and May 23, 2002 meetings, at which time the Planning Commission raised issues with the 75C-4 GPA No. 2011-03, AA No. 2011-02 & VA No. 2011-09 January23, 2012 Page 3 proposed land use, potential noise impacts to the residence once constructed, and the proposed Grand Avenue widening project. As proposed, the project has been designed with a six foot perimeter wall to provide privacy and deflect noise from Grand Avenue traffic. In addition, per California Energy Code requirements, the windows for the residence will be insulated and dual glazed. The public right-of-way for Grand Avenue adjacent to the subject site was fully widened and improved at the time of the 1-5 Widening Project. These improvements reduced the subject parcel at 1302 East Fourteenth Street to 4,813 square feet, and included the construction of a median barrier to restrict entry onto Fourteenth Street. At the Planning Commission's direction, the City's Housing Division met with the applicant in an effort to exchange this site with an Agency-owned property that would be suitable for single family residential development. None of the offers for land exchange were accepted by Mr. Vasquez. On September 19, 2002, the Planning Commission recommended denial of Mr. Vasquez's discretionary requests by a vote of 7-0; with City Council adopting a resolution on October 6, 2003 to deny that proposal. Mr. Vasquez has chosen to pursue the project again, by submitting a new General Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment and Variance applications in 2011. Proiect Analvsis General Plan Amendment The existing General Plan land use designation for the project area is General Commercial (GC) with a maximum allowable 0.5 floor area ratio. General Commercial districts are primarily located on commercial corridors and major arterial roadways in the City. They provide accessible commercial development along the City's arterials as well as provide support facilities and services, including retail, office, restaurants and various other services. The parcel located at 1302 East Fourteenth Street is a vacant remnant property as a result of the 1-5 Freeway widening. Due to its limited lot size of 4,813 square feet and lack of driveway access onto Grand Avenue, this parcel is not considered viable for a freestanding commercial use, without the potential of intrusion on the adjacent residential neighborhood to the east. The General Plan land use designation proposed for the three parcels in the project area is Low Density Residential intended for a maximum of seven dwelling units per acre (Exhibit 7). The total land area included within the proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03 is 18,699 square feet or .43 acres (Exhibit 8). Amending the General Plan land use designation from General Commercial (GC) to Low Density Residential (LR7) will allow for consistency between the two existing single family homes and the City's General Plan land use vision. The proposed Low Density Residential land use designation will also act to implement the Land Use Element goal of preserving existing residential 75C-5 GPA No. 2011-03, AA No. 2011-02 & VA No. 2011-09 January 23, 2012 Page 4 neighborhoods from commercial intrusion; as well as the Housing Element goal to encourage the maintenance, preservation and upgrade of neighborhoods, and provide additional affordable housing opportunities for the community. The proposed residential General Plan land use designation will also allow the applicant a viable use of his property at 1302 East Fourteen Street. Finally, the project will preserve and improve the character of the surrounding neighborhood and travel corridor aesthetics through the development of the existing vacant site. Amendment Application The proposed project area is within the Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district, which does not identify a single family residence as a permitted use. The project area includes the applicant's vacant 4,813 square foot parcel at 1302 East Fourteenth Street; as well as the two adjacent 6,943 square foot adjacent parcels at 1306 and 1310 East Fourteenth Street, developed in the early 1950s as single family residences. The proposed amendment application (zone change) is needed to change the zoning from Arterial Commercial (C5) to Single-Family Residence (R1) to facilitate construction of a residence on the vacant lot, and preserve the two adjacent single family residences. The proposed R1 zoning will also allow the project sites to be consistent with the existing R1 zoning of the remaining residential properties and neighborhood to the east of the project sites (Exhibit 9). In addition, City zoning law states that structural alterations and additions may be made to existing single-family residences only if they are located in a residential zone. Thus, changing the existing commercial zone to the Single Family Residence (R1) zoning district will benefit the two existing single family residences (1306 and 1310 East Fourteenth Street) by reducing barriers to future home improvements or modification to their residences. Variance The applicant is requesting a variance from the prevailing front yard setback for single family residences. The project proposes a 24.4 feet front yard setback, which is a 16 percent reduction of the 29 feet prevailing front yard setback on East Fourteenth Street. Variance requests are governed by Section 41-638 of the SAMC. Variance requests may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established: • That there exists a special circumstance related to the property, such as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings. • That the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. • That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding property. • That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. 75C-6 GPA No. 2011-03, AA No. 2011-02 & VA No. 2011-09 January 23, 2012 Page 5 If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the variance. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information, staff has prepared the following analysis, which forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. Regarding this project, Section 41-603 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) states that in residential zones "...where forty (40) percent or more of the lots any block... are developed with building, the required front yard for any new building or alteration to an existing building shall be not less than the arithmetical average of the front yard..." The prevailing average front yard setback along East Fourteenth Street is 29 feet. As proposed, the new single family residence will provide a 24.4 foot setback along Fourteenth Street. The applicant is requesting approval to allow the reduced setback to remain as proposed, which would require the approval of a variance from the code as discussed above. In analyzing the variance request staff must be able to show that findings can be made that support the criteria listed above. The project site has a special circumstance related to its size, shape and location. The property is located at the southeast corner of Fourteenth Street and Grand Avenue. The lot size was reduced to 4,813 square feet as a result of the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5) Widening Project. The proposed one-story, single-family residence is well designed and complies with the development standards set forth in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code including side and rear setbacks, parking and landscaping. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. Allowing the building to be constructed with a reduced front yard setback will allow the owner the ability to develop the property with a well-designed single-family residence that is consistent with the Single-Family Residence (R1) zoning district. Shifting the structure to comply with the 29 foot prevailing front setback standard would reduce the feasibility and livability of the proposed residence, which impacts the property rights of the owner. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public or surrounding properties as the building and site have been designed to comply with all applicable development standards except for the front yard setback. The new building and related site improvements and landscaping will enhance this property as well as the surrounding properties. The brick veneer base and entry of the house chimney and stucco materials, as well as the wood window trim and wood siding accents at the eaves, are proposed to enrich the elevation and be compatible with the existing architectural style in the adjacent neighborhood. • Finally, the project will not adversely affect the general plan as the new single family house is a permitted use in the proposed Low Density Residential land use designation. In addition, the project is consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, the Land Use Element Policy 2.10 supports new development which is harmonious in scale and 75C-7 GPA No. 2011-03, AA No. 2011-02 & VA No. 2011-09 January 23, 2012 Page 6 character with the existing development, and Policy 3.5 encourages new development that is compatible in scale, and consistent with the architectural style and character of the neighborhood. Housing Element Goal 2 seeks to provide a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's residents and workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community. Public Notification The project site is located within with the Mabury Park Neighborhood Association and just east of the Grand Sunrise Neighborhood Association boundaries. Neighborhood leaders were contacted for both respective neighborhood associations. Upon request, staff and the applicant attended and made presentation to the Grand Sunrise Neighborhood Association in May 2011. The Mabury Park Neighborhood Association chairperson was also invited to attend. At the conclusion of the meeting, neighborhood association attendees were supportive of the proposed project. The applicant contacted the two other affected properties on Fourteenth Street in the fall of 2011. City staff followed-up to these same owners at 1306 and 1310 East Fourteenth Street with phone calls and a letter sent November 30, 2011. In conversation with City staff, the property owner at 1306 East Fourteenth expressed his concern with the existing overflow parking onto Fourteenth Street by the adjacent multiple family apartments, as well as the addition of on-street parking needs that would be created by the proposed new single family residence. The contacts of the Neighborhood Associations were notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. The project site itself was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the project site, as well as concerned citizens listed on the Permanent Notification List. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been received from any members of the public. Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03, Amendment Application No. 2011-02, and Variance No. 2011-09 as conditioned. 75C-8 GPA No. 2011-03, AA No. 2011-02 & VA No. 2011-09 January 23, 2012 Page 7 CEQA Analysis In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 for a project that includes new construction of up to three single family residences in an urban area.

The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Applicant is requesting General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03 to amend the General Plan to change the parcels located at 1302, 1306 and 1310 East Fourteenth Street, from General Commercial (GC) to Low Density Residential (LR7) to allow the construction of a new single-family residence. A true and correct copy of the amendments to the General Plan is attached herewith as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by this reference. B. On January 23, 2012, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03. C. On March 5, 2012, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral, related to General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03. D. The Council finds that General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03 is consistent with the General Plan, including, but not limited to, its policies and goals to preserve existing residential neighborhoods from commercial intrusion and to encourage the maintenance, preservation and upgrade of neighborhoods, and provide additional affordable housing opportunities for the community. In addition, the project will allow for consistency between the two existing single family homes and the City's General Plan land use vision. The project will also allow the applicant a viable use of his property at 1302 East Fourteenth Street. Further, the project will preserve and improve the character of the surrounding neighborhood and travel corridor aesthetics through the development of the existing vacant site. Resolution No. 2012-XXX Page 1 of 6 75C-25 E. The Council finds that the City's general plan is designed, as it must be, to accommodate a wide range of competing interests - including those of developers, neighborhoods and homeowners, prospective homebuyers, environmentalists, current and prospective business owners, jobseekers, taxpayers, and providers and recipients of all types of city-provided services - and to present a clear and comprehensive set of principles to guide development decisions. The City's general plan sets forth these guiding principles. Once in place, it is the province of this Council to examine the specifics of a proposed project to determine whether it would be in harmony with the policies stated in the general plan. F. The City Council has weighed and balanced the general plan's policies, both new and old, and has determined that based upon this balancing that General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03 is consistent with the purpose of the general plan. G. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2011-09 to allow a reduction in the front yard setback for a new single family residence at 1302 East Fourteenth Street. H. On January 23, 2012, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Variance No. 2011-09 as conditioned herewith in Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference. On March 5, 2012, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony, written and oral, related to Variance No. 2011-09. J. Variance No. 2011-09 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana seeking to reduce the required front yard setback for single family residences. Section 41-603 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code requires that, "...where forty (40) percent or more of the lots any block... are developed with building, the required front yard for any new building or alteration to an existing building shall be not less than the arithmetical average of the front yard..." The prevailing average front yard setback along East Fourteenth Street is 29 feet. As proposed, the new single family residence will provide a 24.4 foot setback along Fourteenth Street. K. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning Commission to grant a variance upon making certain findings. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of provisions of this Chapter. Resolution No. 2012-XXX Page 2 of 6 75C-26 The project site has a special circumstance related to its size, shape and location. The property is located at the southeast corner of Fourteenth Street and Grand Avenue. The lot size was reduced to 4,813 square feet as a result of the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5) Widening Project. The proposed one-story, single-family residence is well designed and complies with the development standards set forth in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code including side and rear setbacks, parking and landscaping. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. Allowing the building to be constructed with a reduced front yard setback will allow the owner the ability to develop the property with a well-designed single-family residence that is consistent with the Single-Family Residence (R1) zoning district. Shifting the structure to comply with the 29 foot prevailing front setback standard would reduce the feasibility and livability of the proposed residence, which impacts the property rights of the owner. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public or surrounding properties as the building and site have been designed to comply with all applicable development standards except for the front yard setback. The brick veneer base and entry of the house chimney and stucco materials, as well as the wood window trim and wood siding accents at the eaves, are proposed to enrich the elevation and be compatible with the existing architectural style in the adjacent neighborhood. 4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. Finally, the project will not adversely affect the general plan as the new single family house is a permitted use in the proposed Low Density Residential land use designation. In addition, the project is consistent with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Specifically, the Land Use Element Policy 2.10 supports new development with is harmonious in scale and character with the existing Resolution No. 2012-XXX 75C-27 Page 3 of 6 development, and Policy 3.5 encourages new development that is compatible in scale, and consistent with the architectural style and character of the neighborhood. Housing Element Goal 2 seek to provide a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's residents and workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community. L. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 for a project that includes new construction of up to three single family residences in an urban area. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2008-34 will be filed for this project. Section 2. The City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2011-03 and Variance No. 2011-09. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Council Action dated March 5, 2012, and exhibits attached thereto, and the public testimony written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

REDEVELOPMENT PLANS An estimated 5,185 acres (8.1 square miles) of land in Santa Ana is currently included in one Merged Project Area. Prior to August 2004, this Project Area was divided into six separate redevelopment project areas as described below. Of this total, 9 percent (464 acres) is in residential use, 32 percent (1,678 acres) commercial, 40 percent (2,075 acres) industrial, with other uses accounting for the remaining 19 percent (968 acres). The following six redevelopment plans have been adopted: ¦ Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan. This plan which encompasses 694 acres, was adopted in 1973 to revitalize the downtown area, improve traffic circulation, reestablish businesses, and stimulate private investment; ¦ North Harbor Boulevard Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1982, the Plan covers 470 acres along Harbor Boulevard. The Plan for this area was adopted to define future development, and create design standards for new development in the area. ¦ Inter-City Commuter Station Redevelopment Plan. This plan, also adopted in 1982, focuses on approximately 525 acres designed to provide for the development of a commuter rail station and to promote supporting uses. ¦ South Main Street Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1982, the plan applies to 1,500 acres in one of the primary commercial and industrial districts of the city; ¦ South Harbor Boulevard/Fairview Street Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1982, this 1,085 acre plan covers a key industrial area in the vicinity of Harbor Boulevard and Fairview Street; and ¦ Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1989, the plan promotes the redevelopment of a 781 acres area along the Bristol Street corridor of the city. The location of the redevelopment project areas are shown in Exhibit A-1. b., A-4 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN 75C-35 I :y yq J9 ? i° -fie saoo=RvNmR:fime?re• i a a All, q _ F o o048?CX.?dBSai ?' III I _A64aa,;ams== irif===R a?? OI 1 fta I z z u V 75C-36 LAND USE ELEMENT Residential The Land Use Plan provides for three distinct residential land use designations. Residential development is also permitted in two other designations: District Center and Urban Neighborhood. The Santa Ana Land Use Plan includes the following residential land use designations: ¦ The Low Density Residential (LR-7) designation applies to those areas of the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses. The allowable maximum development intensity is 7 units per acre. Development in this category is characterized primarily by single-family homes. This designation applies to a large proportion of the City (6,466.0 acres) representing 47 percent of the City's total land area. ¦ The Low-Medium Density Residential (LMR-11) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at permitted densities of up to 11 units per acre. The land area included in this designation is approximately 433.7 acres. The great majority of the land designated as Low-Medium Density Residential is located in the westerly portion of the City, north and south of First Street. Properties with this designation are typically characterized by mobile home parks, a mixture of duplexes and single family residences, or small lot subdivisions. ¦ The Medium Density Residential (MR-15) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at densities of up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by duplexes, apartments, or a combination of both. A total of 385.3 acres is designated as Medium Density Residential. The designation applies to areas located in the vicinity of downtown, areas north and south of MacArthur Boulevard, and in other areas where there are established multiple-family development projects. w ..ue w u n.._ CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-19 75C-37 LAND USE ELEMENT ¦ The General Commercial (GC) district applies to commercial corridors in Santa Ana including those located along Main Street, Seventeenth Street, Harbor Boulevard, and other major arterial roadways in the City. The intensity standard applicable to this designation is a floor area ratio of 0.5 -1.0, though most General Commercial districts have a FAR of 0.5. A total of 1,071.6 acres of land is included in this designation. General Commercial districts are key components in the economic development of the City. They provide highly visible and accessible commercial development along the City's arterial transportation corridors. In addition, General Commercial land uses provide important neighborhood facilities and services, including shopping, recreation, cultural and entertainment activities, employment, and education. The districts also provide support facilities and services for industrial areas including office and retail, restaurants and various other services. The General Commercial development standards are based upon the character and intensity of development, as well as the degree of access and market demand for these properties. The relationships to adjacent land uses, are also considered. Uses typically located in this district are: ¦ Business and professional offices; ¦ Retail and service establishments; ¦ Recreational, cultural, and entertainment uses; and ¦ Vocational schools. General Commercial Districts have a floor area ratio of 0.5 with the exception of the Mid-town area which has an floor area ratio of up to 1.0. ¦ One Broadway Plaza District Center is a separate land use designation as it has an F.A.R. of 2.9, which exceeds the typical District Center intensity limit. Additionally, it does not include a residential component. One Broadway Plaza is envisioned as a landmark professional office complex that will be a focal point in the Downtown Redevelopment area serving the Civic Center complex, Downtown, and Midtown urban areas.
