'1" <br />, <br />�C <br />iL <br />;L <br />The project would comply with the Implementation Programs that <br />are applicable to this project. The project would upgrade the economic <br />and physical vitality of the existing Fashion Square shopping center. <br />Although the project would result in the removal of the Mainstreet <br />Center, the proposed project would upgrade the area. This project, with <br />financial assistance through the Santa Ana Redevelopment Agency, will <br />upgrade and recycle the commercial uses on the site. The project would <br />also promote the Main Street corridor with higher density mixed use <br />development. The project would help initiate major new linear activity <br />between Downtown and Fashion Square. The project should have a specific <br />plan prepared for ultimate development of the site as recommended in the <br />General Plan. <br />The proposed project would generally conform with the existing <br />zoning designations for the property. However, the project would <br />require a zone change from R-1 (Single -Family Residential) to C-2 <br />(General Commercial) for a small piece of property near the northwest <br />corner of the site in order for the proposed project to be consistent <br />with the zoning designation. The project would conform with the <br />surrounding land uses since the types of uses proposed (retail and <br />commercial) are characteristic of the existing uses in the project area. <br />The proposed development would accomplish the objectives of <br />the Redevelopment Plan by revitalizing and restoring the economic, <br />social and physical health of the Redevelopment Project Area. The <br />project specifically complies with the objective to provide the Agency <br />the tool by which the Agency may participate in a plan to increase the <br />existing shopping area known as Fashion Square Center. The project <br />should compliment the downtown area by expanding and varying the <br />economic base in the city. <br />The existing surface level parking lot south of Mainstreet <br />Center provides parking for customers, tenants and visitors of the <br />Fidelity Savings office building. This parking lot is divided in <br />ownership by KLST Partnership, Ltd. and Comet, Inc. as shown in Figure <br />75D-495 <br />
