Planning Commission considers 36-unit Alton Avenue housing; Council to vote on $500,000 sewer contract
The Santa Ana Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 22 to decide on a 36-unit single-family detached development at 2100 West Alton Avenue. The project, which includes a density bonus with eight incentives and a requirement for six affordable ownership units, was set for a final commission vote unless appealed within 10 days. Meeting minutes have not yet been published, and the outcome remains unavailable.
The proposed development would bring 36 homes to the site at a density of 14.52 units per acre. Under a density bonus agreement, three of the affordable units would be reserved for very low-income households and three for moderate-income buyers. The commission’s decision is final unless an appeal is filed within the 10-day window.

The June 25 regular meeting also covered approval of minutes from February and May. No public action was reported; minutes are not yet available.

The commission’s decision is not yet published.
