Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 8 of 10 significant sites, landmarks and other points of interest, are to be provided in all public and private projects. The residential buildings are of high quality design and include high quality materials such as stone veneer, brick veneers, metal panels, and canopies. The building is designed with courtyards that are open to the public right-of-way, and landscaped areas to reduce the mass of the building. The Project has street frontage on Main Street which is identified as a major path in the General Plan and supports the North Main Street Node described as an opportunity for the establishment of a cohesive, height intensity, mixed activity center with a strong presence in the region. The setback along the east side of the project has been increased to 66 feet to minimize impacts to the neighboring single-family residences. The new development will include public art and convey a sense of place and contribute to the urban image for the City along a street corridor that includes regional, local and cultural landmarks. The development will be in scale with the buildings along Main Street to the north and west of the site. In addition, the Urban Design Element of the General Plan identifies the site as a Gateway; the Project promotes elements of a Gateway by developing the site with a building with attractive architectural features, projecting a positive image for the City of Santa Ana.
