LAND USE ELEMENT A-34 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN for commercial and industrial developments than that which is permitted under the General Plan. As indicated in Table A-4, between 76,97276,716 to 96,32596,069 housing units are allowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in the City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple -family developments constructed in the 1970’s and 1980’s. However, the purpose of the Land Use Plan as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of existing neighborhoods, regardless of the character of development. The intent of the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses. The Land Use Element’s implementation may result in an increase in the amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As indicated in Table A-4, up to 37,271,727 square feet of commercial, 25,913,84426,714,041 square feet of office, and 42,199,991 square feet of industrial development are possible under the effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan. 2-638
