Additionally the project will be consistent with the purpose of the General Plan Land <br /> Use and the Housing Element, as it will further the goals and policies of the plan and not obstruct <br /> their attainment. Specifically, it would further the following General Plan goals and policies: <br /> <br /> Land Use Goal3 Preserve and improve the character and integrity of <br /> Element existing neighborhoods. <br /> Policy 3.1 Support development which provides a positive <br /> contribution to neighborhood character and identity. <br /> Policy 3.5 Encourage new development and/or additions to existing <br /> development that is compatible in scale, and consistent <br /> with the architectural style and character of the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> Policy 5.5 Encourage development which is compatible with, and <br /> supportive of surrounding land uses. <br /> Housing Goal 2 Provide a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, <br /> Element and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's <br /> residents and workforce of all household types, income <br /> levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community. <br /> Policy Rental Housing. Encourage the construction of rental <br /> HE-2.3 housing for Santa Ana's residents and workforce, <br /> including a commitment to very low, low, and moderate <br /> income residents and moderate income Santa Ana <br /> workers. <br /> Policy Agency-Owned Sites.
