The City Council of the City of Santa Ana does hereby find, determine and declare as follows: A. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013 -03 is to amend the existing zoning in Specific Development No. 59 (SD -59) to allow a multi- family use, increase the maximum number of permitted residential units on the development site, establish a multi - family parking ratio, allow for the use of tandem parking stalls, increase the building height and adjust the open space location requirement. B. On October 14, 2013, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013 -03 to amend Specific Development No. 59 (SD -59) to allow a multi - family use, increase the maximum number of permitted residential units on the development site, establish a multi - family parking ratio, allow for the use of tandem parking stalls, increase the building height and adjust the open space location requirement. C. Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013 -03 came before the City Council of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on November 4, 2013, to consider all testimony, written and oral. D. The City Council adopts as findings all facts presented in the Request for Council Action dated November 4, 2013, accompanying this matter. For these reasons, and each of them, Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013- 03 is hereby found and determined to be consistent with the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and otherwise justified by the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare. Section 2. Specific Development No. 59 (SD -59) is hereby amended as follows: A. Multi- family Use and Increase in Maximum Number of Residential Units. SD -59 currently allows a maximum of one single family residence per acre 11 D -3 of land on the subject parcel. The applicant is requesting an amendment to SD -59 to increase the maximum number of permitted units to 182 as well as allow a multi - family use. Amendments to SD -59 are needed to Part 11.1.j (Permitted Land Uses). B. Establish Multi- Family Residential Parking Ratio. Amendments are needed to establish parking requirements for multi - family residential uses. SD -59 currently does not contain a multi - family parking ratio. As proposed, the project will provide a total of 364 spaces at an overall ratio of 2.0 spaces per unit, regardless of bedroom count, and inclusive of guest parking. Due to the absence of multi - family parking standards contained within SD -59, a ratio must be established. Staff recommends that Part III.A.4 (Development Standards - Parking) of SD -59 be amended to reflect the overall ratio of 2.0 parking spaces per unit inclusive of guest parking. C. Allowance for Tandem Parking to Satisfy Parking Requirement. The Santa Ana Municipal Code contains provisions for tandem parking to satisfy some portion of any required parking, but only for commercial development. SD- 59 does not contain any specific standards allowing the use of tandem parking within the project area. The applicant proposes to have 64% of the parking stalls designed as tandem spaces. Thus, SD -59 shall be amended to allow no more than 64% of the overall parking spaces to be in a tandem configuration provided a parking management plan is approved addressing items such as the need to link percentage of tandem with percentage of one - bedroom units. D. Open Space Requirement. The open space provision within SD -59 requires that each residential development provide usable open space at the ground level. The applicant is requesting an amendment to SD -59 in order to allow the required open space to be located on levels other than the ground level. Access to the open space is more ideal in this design because most if not all of the units are located above the parking level(s). Thus, Part III.A.5 (Development Standards -Open Space) shall be amended to allow open space to be located above the ground level. E. Building Height. The overall building height measures 59 feet from the lowest adjacent grade. SD -59 allows a maximum building height of 50 feet consistent with the current development within City Place. Surrounding structures within City Place measure up to 50 feet in height. Other structures outside of City Place include a large parking structure and office building immediately to the north. Thus, Part III.C.1 (Building Height) shall be amended to increase maximum building height to 59 feet and thereby allowing the project as designed and compatible in height with the surrounding area. 11 D -4 Section 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
