Property Description
The One Broadway Plaza project is a 4.339-acre, 13-parcel site
located in midtown Santa Ana. The site is currently occupied by
several historic and non-historic structures that are primarily
occupied by office uses. The project site is bordered by Washington
Avenue to the north, Tenth Street to the south, Sycamore Street to
the east and Broadway to the west. Surround.ing land uses include
single and multi-family residential and office uses to the north, and
office uses to the south, east and west.
The subject site is zoned Midtown Specific Plan No.3 (SP-3) and has a
General Plan Land Use designation of Professional and Administrative
Office (PAO), which permits office development' at a floor area ratio of
1.0 (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).
4IÞProject Description
Caribou Industries is proposing the construction of a 518,003 square
foot office tower. The building would contain 490,003 square feet of
office space, 10,000 square feet of retail space and 18,000 square
feet of restaurant dining area. As proposed, the building will be 37
stories and 493 feet in height. The building will have a vertically
oriented contemporary design with non-reflective green transparent
glass on the outer shell of the structure. The'structural skeleton of
the building will be visible through the glass and will be illuminated
at night (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6). In addition, four buildings totaling
12,484 square feet that are currently on the project site will be used
for office and restaurant purposes. Three buildings, 9,627 square
feet in size, will be used for office purposes, while the remaining
2,857 square foot fourth building will be utilized as a restaurant.
, An open, nine-level freestanding parking structure (one sublevel and
eight levels above ground) with a height of 78 feet will be provided
for the project. A total of 2,463 parking spaces are proposed within
this structure. Approximately 3,200 square feet of retail/restaurant
space will be provided on the ground level of the structure. The
design of the structure will complement the proposed office tower,
with the elevator bank incorporating the glass to be used on the tower
~Exhibits 7, 8 and 9).

Several traffic improvements will be made for this project. First,
Tenth Street will be converted from a two-way into a one-way,
eastbound only street. Second, Washington Avenue will be converted
from a two-way street to a one-way, westbound only street. In
addition, a roundabout with a water fountain in the center will be
constructed at the Tenth and Sycamore Streets intersection that will
be used as a traffic-calming device and urban amenity. Finally, a new
,pedestrian drop-off will be created for the Orange County High School
for the Arts (OCHSA). This drop-off, to be located in the parking lot
of a former church at 920 North Main Street, will replace the existing
drop-off zone on Sycamore Street.
A total of eleven structures are located on the project site, of which
seven have been classified as historically significant. The project
will require the removal of three of these structures (1007-1009, 1015
and 1109 North Broadway), which are listed on the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties. The four remaining structures (1103, 1111,
1115-1117 and 1211 North Broadway), totaling nearly 12,500 square
feet, will be rehabilitated and be converted to office and commercial
uses.
On September 4, 2003, the demolition of the historic residences on the
site was reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission (HRC). After
extensive discussions regarding this matter, the HRC considered the
demolition request and determined that all of the requirements for
demolition had been fulfilled. However, an additional mitigation
measure was proposed by the HRC to require the developer to pay for
the cost of the relocation and rehabilitation of the three historic
structures that will be displaced for this project (Exhibit 10).
A comprehensive hardscape and landscape program has been developed for
the project. This program will assist in unifying the structures on
the site through a consistent landscape program. An expansive plaza
will be situated on the northeast corner of Tenth Street and Broadway
to provide visual relief as well as provide public spaces for people
to gather and interact. The plaza will include reflecting pools,
fountain:o, textured paving with natural stone and a grove of palm,
deciduous and evergreen canopy trees. Additionally, an urban art
sculpture will be integrated into the plaza area. The west elevation
of the parking structure will also be heavily landscaped to soften the
appearance of the structure from Broadway (Exhibit 11).

Subsequent approvals needed for this project include a tract map to
merge the various parcels into one site and to abandon Sycamore
Street, a conditional use permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages,
Airport Land Use Commission approval, a conditional use permit to
operate a helipad on the top of the building, an encroachment
permit/maintenance agreement for the fountain to be located in the
roundabout, and an easement from the State of California to allow the
roundabout to encroach on State property.' Addi tionally, the
acquisition of two off-site properties, located at 1702 North Main
Street and 1702 North Broadway, will need to be completed as
mitigation measures for the project. The acquisition and street
improvements associated with these parcels must be completed prior to
recordatiOn of the final parcel map, unless an off-site improvement
agreement is approved.
Analysis of the Issues
an 1999, Caribou Industries developed a plan to construct a major
office building in the downtown area. Over the years, the plan has
been modified to address the concerns of various interested parties.
Based on this input, Caribou has proceeded with a project that will
create a City landmark due to the height and scale of the proj ect,
provide Class A office space that will attract high-profile tenants
to support the cultural and business activities of the central city,
revitalize the central city by acting as a catalyst, provide a world
class restaurant on the upper level, strengthen the urban identity of
downtown, enhance the Broadway corridor through the design and public
spaces to be provided, increase employment opportunities, provide
additional parking for the project and surrounding area, and provide
a positive fiscal impact to the City.
, Environmental Impact Report
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the
preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) for this project.
The environmental issues analyzed in the EIR included air quality,
cultural' resources, land use, geology, hydrology, safety hazards,
population/housing, public services and utilities, aesthetics, noise,
traffic and circulation. In accordance with CEQA, a draft EIR was
Airculated to the public, local, regional and state agencies on July
1IIIIIIJo, 2003 for a 45-day public review period. On September 2 and 3,
2003, çommunity meetings were held to provide additional information
758-7
EIR No. 99-01, AA No. 04-01,
GPA No. 04-01, and ZOA No. 04-02
February 23, 2004
Page 5
on the proposed project. On September 12, 2003, a Planning Commission
public hearing was held in order to obtain input regarding the EIR
from interested members of the public. By the close of the 45-day
review period, 45 written comment letters on the document were
received.
The City has evaluated the comments on environmental issues addressed
in the comment letters. Each public agency and interested party that
commented on the draft EIR were provided with a response to their
comments at least 10 days prior to the Planning Commission public
hearing. The Responses to Comments document, which was forwarded to
the Planning Commission in early February, the Mitigation Monitoring
Program (Exhibit 12), and the draft EIR constitutes the Final EIR. In
addition, the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding
Considerations have been included for the project (Exhibit 13).
The EIR identified several unavoidable adverse impacts associated
with this project. These impacts pertain to transportation, air
quality, utilities and services systems, aesthetics and cultural
resources.
Unavoidable transportation impacts include traffic impacts that will
reduce the level of service on roads and'intersections to an
unacceptable level. Although some intersection improvements are
required, other street improvements needed to mitigate the project
are infeasible due to the significant land use impacts from the
widening. Air quality impacts consist of long-term emissions,
particularly nitrogen dioxide (Nox). The project will impact utility
and service systems in the area, as it will interfere with broadcast
and television signals in the project area. Aesthetics will be
adversely impacted as the height, mass and scale of the tower would
significantly exceed the height of structures found in the area and
would contrast with other nearby buildings. Additionally, the project
will create morning shade and shadow impacts in the summer and winter
months as well as afternoon shade and shadow impacts. These impacts
will be to properties not currently affected by shade from nearby
structures.
Finally, cultural resources will be adversely impacted by the project.
This project will result in significant adverse impacts associated
with the removal of three historic structures and indirect impacts on
the setting of the remaining historic structures. In September 2003,

~IR No. 99-01, AA No. 04-01,
GPA No. 04-01, and ZOA No. 04-02
February 23, 2004

the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) determined that an additional
mitigation measure was proposed by the HRC to require the developer to
pay for the cost of the relocation and rehabilitation of the three
historic structures that will be displaced fòr this proj ect. Should
the Planning Commission concur with the HRC's recommendation, the
Commission will need to add this mitigation measure to the Final EIR
and Mitigation Monitoring Program.
As a result of the impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than
significant level, adoption of a Statement of Overriding
Considerations is required prior to approving the project. A
Statement of Overriding Considerations is the process through which
decision makers balance the economic, legal, social, and technological
or other benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable
environmental impacts.
~eneral Plan Amendment
To facilitate the development of this parcel, a general plan amendment
is required. Currently, the land use designation for this site is
Professional and Administrative Office (PAO), which allows development
wi th a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) not to exceed 1.0. This proj ect will
require amendments to the Land Use Element, including the creation of a
new General plan Land Use Designation titled One Broadway Plaza
Specific Development District Center, and the designation of the site
as a Major Development Area in the General Plan (Exhibit 14). In
addition, to accommodate the project as proposed, the General Plan
floor area ratio needs to be increased to allow a development density
of .2.9. The FAR was derived from the size of the proposed building and
square footage of the remaining four structures along Broadway. This
designation would be specific to the One Broadway Plaza site and would
establish policies and standards that will allow the intensity and
scale of the project (Exhibit 15).
In addition, an amendment to the Circulation Element is required. A
new street classification, the Local Commercial Street, needs to be
adopted. This designation, to be applied to both Washington and Tenth
Streets, acknowledges a higher vehicle capacity on these roads
, (Exhibit 16). '
4ItinallY, several amendments to the Urban Design Element are necessary
in order to keep the General plan internally consistent. The primary
revisions will designate this site as a landmark and a node. Due to
758-9
EIR No. 99-01, AA No. 04-01,
GPA No. 04-01, and ZOA No. 04-02
February 23, 2004
Page 7
the size of the structure, the building will become the tallest
building in Orange County and become a major City landmark.
Additionally, the various office, retail and restaurant activities
associated with the building will result in 'the creation of a node,
which is an area of compatible and intense activity (Exhibit 17).
Amendment Application/Zoning Ordinance Amendment'
In August 1996 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2308, creating
the Midtown Specific Plan. The purpose of the plan was to establish a
vision for a thriving and integrated district of civic, business,
cultural 'and retail activity with a small residential component. The
project site, as part of the Midtown Specific Plan, is currently
located within the Broadway Corridor District. . The Broadway Corridor
District includes both sides of Broadway and the west side of Sycamore
Street between Tenth and Seventeenth Streets. The existing zoning
designation establishes a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.5 to 2.0,
a maximum building height of 35 feet and 20-foot building setback along
Broadway.
Although the One Broadway Plaza project proposes a combination of
office, restaurant, and retail uses compatible with the vision of the
Midtown Specific Plan, the Midtown standards adopted in 1996 did not
contemplate high-rise office developments with greater land use
intensity. As a result, Caribou Industries is requesting approval of
a zoning ordinance amendment to allow various amendments to the
Specific Plan related to the removal of the project site from the
Broadway' Corridor District (Exhibit 18). . In its place, the One
Broadway Specific Development District (SD-75) zoning designation
will be established.
A series of site-specific objectives, policies and development
standards will be used to guide the development of the tower and
associated parking structure. Specifically, the SD-75 would involve
the creation of development standards such as a specific building FAR
of 2.9 and allow the exclusive entitlement of a 37-story landmark
office tower and affiliated parking garage per the approved plan.
The SD has been framed to allow the construction of the project as
proposed and prohibits future modifications to'enlarge or reduce the
size of the project. The SD is also intended to maintain the scale
and character established by the existing structures and streetscape
pattern as part of the Midtown area (Exhibit 19).

Approval of the proposed amendments to the Midtown Specific Planas
well as the adoption of the proposed One Broadway Plaza SDD would
allow for the creation of a new City landmark through the
construction of an office building with the height, scale and quality
to serve as a central focal point of the Downtown area.
Additionally, the proposal would allow for Class A office space in a
'configuration suitable for major tenants in the immediate vicinity of
the Civic Center area of the City. Further, the demand for
amenities, such as restaurants, public gathering areas and
entertainment activities, would create additional employment and
revitalization opportunities in the central City. With the approval
of the Midtown Specific plan amendment, the proposed project would be
'consistent with applicable zoning requirements.
The One Broadway Plaza development project will enhance and provide a
.ositive reinforcement of the City's image around the Midtown area
through the development of a Class A office tower and associated
amenities. Additionally, the project will be of direct benefit to the
community by providing additional employment opportunities in the City.
The project will be c~msistent with the goals and policies of the
'General plan as amended by promoting a balance of land uses to address
basic community needs, enhancing the City's economic and fiscal
'environment, and enhancing development districts whose unique community
assets bolster overall community vitality. As a result, staff
recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council
certify Final Environmental Impact Report No. 99-01 and approve a
resolution adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations and the
Mitigation Monitoring Program. Additionally, staff recommends that the
'City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No.
2004-01 and Specific Development No. 75, adopt a resolution approving
General plan Amendment No. 2004-01 and adopt an ordinance approving
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2004-02.

On October 7, 1999, a Notice of Preparation was prepared,
submitted to interested persons, responsible and trustee agencies,
and filed with the County Recorder regarding this proposed project,
which was at that time described' as a 44 story office building with
an adjacent parking structure. These structures would be built on a
site which is currently developed with a number of homes which
have been converted to a variety ,of older office/business uses, a
shoe repair shop, and an apartment building. Most of these uses
would have to be removed to make way for project improvements.
a.
On February 12, 2001, a' Recirculation of Notice of
Preparation was prepared, submitted to interested persons,
responsible and trustee agencies, and filed with the County
Recorder regarding this proposed project, which was at that
time described abandonment and closing of a segment of
Sycamore Street between Washington Street and 10th Street
to allow for construction of the proposed 8-level parking
structure, a reduction in the height of the office building from
44 stories to 38 stories, and the inclusion of helipad on the
roof of the office building.
3.
A significant number of community meetings, public meetings and
public hearings have been subsequently held to consider this
proposed project. As a result of these community meetings and
public comments three (3) alternatives to the proposed project were
developed and various impacts were identified to be studied.
As a result of this input, the City prepared a Draft EIR for this
proposed project, which was submitted for public comment to all
responsible agencies, the State Clearinghouse, neighboring
communities and districts, neighborhoods in the vicinity and the
requesting public. '

Re: Skyscraper
Dear Councilmembers:
I just heard about the skyscraper being planned for One Broadway Plaza. I find
the idea ridiculous. I've lived in Washington Square for 13 years and one of the things I love
about the area is that it's actually neighborly and people-sized, even the goveriunent buildings.
One of the things I loathe is the traffic. Dumping a monster of a building into our
little area of mostly single family residences and low-rise office and government buildings is a
ludicrous idea, given the congestion already existing in the area. The nearest fteeway is far
enough that to get to and ftom it during rush hour would be a irightmare.
Lastly, the thing would stick out literally like a sore thumb. It would appear that
the only thing being considered here is someOne's financial gain. Please think about locating this
building closer to a fteeway.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
'd!~

Re: One Broadway Plaza Project
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
As Business Manager of the Electrical Workers Union, Local 441, I represent
hundreds of Orange County electricians, many of whom reside in your City.
On behalf of these working men and women, I urge you to approve the One
Broadway Plaza Project that is scheduled to come before the City Council on
March 15, 2004.
This proposed high rise structure with approximately 500,000 square feet of
office space will not only provide an Icon Landmark for the City of Santa Ana,
but will also provide much needed economic growth and revitalization of the
downtown area. This project will provide a tremendous amount of
construction jobs, and upon completion, will provide even more jobs as
professional companies begin occupying the completed office space.
We at IBEW Local 441 are excited about the future of Santa Ana and the
potential for growth that this Project has to offer. Please, for the working
men and women of your City and this County we ask that you approve this
Project on March 15th.
Sincere

RE:
One Broadway Plaza
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
.
As a resident of Santa Ana, I am very excited to hear about
the proposed One Broadway Plaza project. This project is
essential for the city in many ways. Not only will One
Broadway Plaza be an Icon Landmark for the city, but also
will provide economic growth, which is desperately needed,
for future success of Santa Ana and will gain the pride and
respect as the Capitol City of Orange County, encouraging
professional offices to relocate their headquarters to our
downtown.
One Bro&dway Plaza's urban setting ~n~ l~cation is ideal ~or
the City of Santa Ana. So many times, developers build on
the outside edges of the city, which kills our downtown
areas. Having a Class A office building in the heart of
Santa Ana will bring back life to the Downtown/Midtown
areas. I appreciate the attention the developer has given
in successfully weaving the historic past of Santa Ana with
the future, providing urban plazas and gathering areas for
the residents.
I am 100% supportive of this project and encourage 100%
support, for the future success of the city, from the
council. Thank you for the opportunity to share my
excitement for One Broadway Plaza and the exciting growth
ahead for the City of Santa Ana.

As a resident of Santa Ana I want to express my support for the proposed One
Broadway Plaza project. Santa Ana needs this project; it will create thousands of good-
paying jobs for Santa Ana residents both during and after construction.
.
One Broadway Plaza, by encouraging professional offices to relocate their
headquarters to our downtown, will help revitalize the Downtown/Midtown areas. The
developer has produced a well-designed plan that incorporates Santa Ana's historic past
with the needs of its CUlTent residents, including spacious plazas and gathering areas.
I encourage the council to move this project forward so we can regain the pride
and respect that Santa Ana, as the Capitol City of Orange County, deserves. Thank you
for this opportunity to share my enthusiasm for One Broadway Plaza and the exciting
growth ahead for the City of Santa Ana.
Sincerely,
~ jbA ,~
