Clarifications to the August 2021 Draft General Plan <br />November 1, 2021 <br />- Mixed Use Density and Intensity <br />To encourage a dynamic mixture of residential, office, clean industrial, and commercial uses in <br />mixed -use areas (Industrial/Flex, Urban Neighborhood, One Broadway Plaza District Center, and <br />District Center'), when both residential and nonresidential uses are planned the density... <br />[added Footnote 1]: <br />1. District Centers that are part of a special planning area, as shown on Figure LU-2, or subject <br />to special development standards may be regulated by FAR alone. <br />- Rounding [new text] <br />When calculating the square footage allowed for a proposed development, no upward rounding <br />is permitted in determining the final permitted intensity. Likewise, no upward rounding is <br />permitted in calculating the allowable number of residential units. For example, in a calculation <br />producing a yield of 12.7 units for a given development site, 12 units are permitted. <br />Footnote 1, Typical Maximum Height, pages LU 18, 19, and 21 <br />1. The typical maximum height identifies the upper limit of typical building height, but the actual <br />maximum standard allowed on each site may be different than listed on this page. The allowable <br />height of development on any parcel is also subject to the zoning standards (Chapter 41 of the <br />Santa Ana Municipal Code), which may further specify allowable height. Some properties within <br />a height district, per Section 41-602 of the Municipal Code, within an adopted or existing special <br />planning area shown on Figure LU-2, or subject to Specific Development (SD) standards allow <br />heights in excess of the typical maximum height shown here. The general plan height standard <br />shall equal the zoning height standards where the allowable height in the zoning standards differs <br />from the typical maximum height shown on this page. <br />Industrial / Flex category revisions, page LU 22 <br />- Maximum Intensity in table was revised to clarify that density and intensity may be regulated by <br />floor area ratio (FAR) and/or dwelling units per acre (du/acre) for mixed use designations. <br />Typical Maximum Height Footnote 1, page LU 22 <br />1.
