The typical maximum heights identify the upper limit of a typical <br /> building height within each density and intensity category, but the actual maximum standard <br /> allowed on each site may be different than listed in this table.The allowable height of <br /> development on any parcel is subject to the zoning standards (in Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana <br /> Municipal Code) and, if within a focus area,the focus area maximum height (starting on page <br /> LU-26 of this element), both of which may further restrict the allowable height. Some properties <br /> within a height district, as defined in Section 41-602 of the municipal code,within an adopted or <br /> existing special planning area shown on Figure LU-2, or subject to Specific Development (SD) <br /> standards allow heights above the typical maximum height depicted here.The general plan <br /> height standard shall equal the zoning height standard where the allowable height in the zoning <br /> standards differs from the typical maximum height shown in this table. This includes, but is not <br /> limited to the following: Metro East Mixed-Use Overlay - subzone Village Center= 6 story max, <br /> subzone Active Urban= no limit; Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan -subzone <br /> Transit Node= 10 story max, subzone Neighborhood Transitional =3 story max, subzone <br /> Corridor=4 story max;Transit Zoning Code-subzone Corridor=3 story max. <br /> - Revised Footnote 4, Exception Areas, to add the following language: <br /> The 4th and Mortimer project designated UN-30 allows densities up to 50 du/ac.The Harbor <br /> Corridor Specific Plan District Centers are limited to a max of 90 units per acre. <br /> City Council 4 32 — 236 1/18/2022 <br />
