Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 13 of 47 <br />to be complete before the effective date of the Article or any amendment, shall <br />be processed in compliance with the requirements in effect when the <br />application was deemed complete, and pursuant to all requirements of Section <br />41-2008. <br /> <br />(2) Approved Projects Not Yet Under Construction. Any structure authorized by a <br />discretionary permit or approval of a land use as allowed by this Article for <br />which a Building Permit application has been submitted or a Building Permit <br />has been issued may be constructed in compliance with the permit or approval, <br />as long as construction is completed and the approved land use is established <br />before the expiration of the permit or, where applicable, before the expiration <br />of any approved time extension. <br /> <br />(3) Project Under Construction. A project for which a Building Permit has been <br />issued may be continued and completed in compliance with the plans and <br />specifications upon which the permit was issued.” <br /> <br />Section 8. Section 41-2006 (Zones Established) of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code is hereby amended, including the replacement of Figure 2.1, to read as <br />follows: <br /> <br />“Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established <br /> <br />(a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones applied to property within the plan <br />area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into <br />separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area that <br />ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the least urban <br />types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them. <br /> <br />This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into <br />zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional <br />uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly all daily <br />activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead of land use <br />zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly reflects the <br />functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan area. The zones <br />also effectively implement the City’s urban design objectives for each part of the <br />plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. This <br />is why some parcels are zoned with more than one zone. In such cases, the zoning <br />is divided along a clear boundary such as the middle of a block. <br /> <br />The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and <br />land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building <br />placement, height and profile. Figure 2.1 identifies the eight (8) zones applied <br />within the plan area as they relate to existing rights-of-way and parcels. <br /> <br />(b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and <br />applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan. <br /> <br />(1) Transit Village (TV) Zone.
