As the majority of development that would occur under <br />the Overlay Zone would be infill or redevelopment, the development permitted under the Overlay <br />Zone would not require significant regional public infrastructure upgrades for any utility, <br />transportation facility, or public service. However, any new development would be required to <br />include provisions to make the necessary improvements in order to facilitate implementation of <br />the Overlay Zone. Project developers would be required to fund their fair -share allocation of any <br />necessary public infrastructure associated with development under the Overlay Zone. Any <br />infrastructure improvements would occur during a period of regional growth. Due to the fact that <br />net new infrastructure developments would be minimal, it is not anticipated that the infrastructure <br />improvements would result in measurable population growth in or around the Overlay Zone area. <br />As such, the indirect population growth impact resulting from infrastructure improvements <br />associated with the Overlay Zone was determined to be less than significant. <br />Implementation of the Overlay Zone is intended to accommodate existing and future population <br />growth forecasted for the City by introducing new residential housing within the Overlay Zone, as <br />well as new employment opportunities in and around the Overlay Zone area. <br />Cabrillo Town Center City of Santa Ana <br />Technical Memorandum August 2023 <br />City Council 18 — 605 10/3/2023 <br />
