LAND USE ELEMENT • Mitigation Fees. The City assesses fees on new development to ensure that the public does not incur an undue financial burden in providing services to the project. The City annually evaluates reasonable and fair methods of assessing new development for the cost of providing any additional infrastructure required by the development. Project Review. The City will continue to implement its current project review procedures. The purpose of the project review process is to ensure that building design, architecture, and site layouts are compatible with surrounding development. This process includes coordination by the interagency Development Review Committee (DRC) to ensure consistent and comprehensive application of City regulations and policies for all projects. Redevelopment Plans. The City will apply redevelopment tools associated with the implementation of the adopted redevelopment plans, as appropriate. The City will encourage the further development of industrial, commercial, and residential projects in suitable locations to strengthen the City's tax and employment base. Special Studies. In certain instances, a special study maybe required to address a particular issue. In these cases, a specific effort to identify staff resources needed to conduct the appropriate investigation and analysis will be identified. Zoning Code Review. The zoning code serves as a primary tool used by the City to regulate development. The City will develop a program to revise the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that development regulations and standards are consistent with community needs and high quality development. The City will initiate appropriate changes to the ordinance to ensure, where appropriate, conformity between the Land Use Element and Zoning Map. LAND USE PLAN BUILDOUT As indicated previously, the City of Santa Ana has been almost completely developed for many years. As a result, any new development will necessarily consist of redevelopment and infill development on the remaining vacant and underutilized parcels. Many parcels with nonresidential land use designations will never be developed to the maximum intensity permitted under the General Plan. Table A-4 indicates the development possible under the build -out of the Land Use Plan. The build -out for residential land uses considered two scenarios. Effective build -out for residential development is calculated by adding the 22.9g6 units possible in the areas designated as District CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN 75C_772 A-37
