Subject: Planning Commission - Item 1 FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Hello,
I wanted to provide a comment on the "Civic Center Perimeter Lighting Design" (screenshot below) project which will be replacing all the mid-century designed globe lighting surrounding the Civic
Center area. I am concerned these streetlights will be replaced with the standard streetlights used across our City's arterial streets, which are not period specific to the original design of Civic Center
(mid-century/brutalism) nor would they enhance the Civic Center area which is visited by thousands of people every year.
Is it possible for the Planning Commission to request staff to design for a electrical system that can support new street and pedestrian lighting system that is either:
(1) complimentary to the existing mid-century architecture in Civic Center, such as the Richard Neutra designed Orange County Courthouse
or
(2) continue the street lighting system seen across the Downtown as recommended under the Transit Zoning Code - Street Network Concepts - Streetlight Specifications (City of Santa Ana Standard
Plan 1126 'A') on page 6:3 (Page 76 of PDF). I attached a copy of this page for reference.
I want to thank Ron Ono for contacting me earlier today to explain the scope of the project.
Please and thank you,
Lisandro Orozco

Street Network Concepts
A. Purpose
This chapter indentifies the various street types deployed to assemble the street
network for the plan area. The guidelines of this section work with the subdivision
guidelines to:
1. provide the information with which to modify existing streets,
2. provide the information on with which to maintain existing streets that are
not proposed to change.
3. produce new, variable blocks and streets,
The diagram at right identifies the conceptual improvements to the existing thor-
oughfare network for the Specific Plan area.
B. Street Alignment and Adjustments. This chapter establishes the guidelines for
interpreting or modifying the alignments of streets as shown Figure 7-1 (Street
Network Concepts). Street alignments may be shifted as follows:
1. Lateral Adjustment. Such adjustments and/or the modification of one end
point of a street or street segment are allowed provided that:
a. The resulting block(s) complies with the requirements of the Subdivision
Guidelines.
b. The resulting intersections comply with the city's requirements for
intersection alignment;
c. Adjustments less than 2 times the streets' r.o.w. width may be approved
administratively;
d. Adjustments in excess of 2 times the street's r.o.w. width require
planning commission approval.
2. Additional Streets. Streets may to be added to the network subject to the
administrative approval of the City of Santa Ana as follows:
a. That the resulting block(s) comply with the City's requirements of the
Subdivision Guidelines;
b. That the additional street(s) is from the conceptual types as identified in
Figure 7-1 or a new street type per subsection C below;
c. That the applicable safety requirements are addressed to the satisfaction
of the City of Santa Ana.
C. New Street Types. New street types beyond those identified in Figure 7-1
maybe allowed by the City of Santa Ana if the new street is determined by the City
of Santa Ana to be generally consistent with one of the allowed types in Table 7A.

railroad right-of-way shall be planned with the safety of the rail corridor in mind.
This includes considering pedestrian circulation/destinations with respect to rail-
road right-of-way.
