Todd Cottle Cottle: “The increasing popularity of TOD is based on the fact that, as a key element of smart growth, it provides convenient access to public transit such as commuter trains and bus transportation within walking distance of a residential property, reducing or eliminating the need for use of a private vehicle.”

SANTA ANA, CA—Projects like the Depot at Santiago need an affordable-housing developer with access to a transit-oriented-development site that he or she can afford to acquire, and outside funding must be available, C&C Development principal Todd Cottle tells GlobeSt.com. C&C, along with Orange housing Development Corp. in partnership with the City of Santa Ana, recently broke ground on the transit-oriented, workforce-housing development here that will create a new community resource and activity center for surrounding neighborhoods and families.

Being developed on a 1.35-acre urban infill site across the street from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center and on the proposed OC Streetcar line, the 70-unit project is designed for working families with incomes ranging from 30% to 60T of area median income. With funding provided by the Mental Health Services Act administered by the County of Orange, the Depot will provide housing for families and individuals who have special needs as well people living with disabilities.
