LAND USE BLEMBNT This section serves as the Appendix to the Land Use Element. It also BACKGROUND discu&88S reIøted plans, describes tand use standards in greater detail. and provides an owMew of existing conditions. The Appendix also provides a context for planning. and an owwview of those trends affecting the City. The previous land Use Element was adopted by the City in 1984, more than 13 years ago. Major demographic changes have occurred during this time including a shift in the City's ethnic diversity. a lower median age. and a growth in the average number of persons per househofd. Other changes in thJl time period have included a growth in the number ofneighborbood associations in the City. These neighborhoOd associations have had an active rae in shaping land use and development in the City. . Since 1984. the City's population has increøed from 203.793 to 347,237 persons according to the State Department of Anance 2003 estimate. Since 1980. the ...,mbet of persons living in the City grew by more than 73 perœnt. During this period of substantial population growth. the number of housing units remained relatively stable. Other notable demographic changes have occurred 8S welt. The City's population Is getting otder. The median age of the population in 1980 was 26.2 years. By 2000. it had increa$ed to 26.5 years compared to a median age of 33.3 years for the County overaU. II .

Senta Ana is bordered by the CIty of Orange, and unincorporated .... ci Orange County on the north; the City of Tustin on the east: the cities of Irvine and Cotta Mesa on the sou1h; and the cities of Fountain Valley and G8rden Grove on the west. Freeway 8OC888 to the City of Santa Ana is pmvtded by the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) and the Orange Freeway (SR-57) on the north. the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5) on the northeast, the Cotta MeIa Freeway (SR-66) on the .st. the San Diego freeway (1-405) on the south. Reglona' Trends Santa Ana is the largest city in Orange County in terms of population (12 peroeot of the County populetJon) and fourth in terms of land area (27.3 square miles). Approximately 58 perœnt d the City's land area 18 developed with residential U888. Commercial areas account for approximately 15 percent of the City'. IOtaIIand area. andlnduaUial uses cover approXimately 14 perœnt. The City's January 2003 population is edmated by the California Depaltment of Finance to be 341,231 persons. The 2003 housing stock consists of 74,912 dwelling units and the average household size is 4.6 persons per household. The City experienced rapid population growth from 1910 through 1990. The City's populatJon in 1970 was 155,710 persona. By 1990, the pope_don had increased to 293.142 persons, representing an increaae of 89 peroent. while the County's population increased by onfy 25 percent. Moreover, during this period of intensive population growth. the number of housing unfts in the City only grew by approximately 12 percent. The Clty's growth trends s1nce 1990 have been more modest and are expected to continue at approximately two percent per year through the year 2010. The City's housing production is likewise expected to continue to be stable. There h88 been little growth in housing over the last several yea...: however, additional infin housing is anticipated through 2010 particularly in the CIty's DIstrict Centers. With even modest population growth at the current nde of housing production. the City Is likely to continue to experience . rise in 8V8I'1Ige houaehoId size.

LAND USE E1.EMENT Table A..4 indicates the development possible under the build...out of the land Use Plan. The buld-out for residential land uses considered two scenarios. EIfdve bulcJ..out for residential development is calculated by adding the 3,222 unitS possible in the areas designated as Di8trict Canter to the existing 74,588 units presently found in the CIty. TheoI8ticaI buikf..out for residential development considered the development postible If al of the areas designated as residential were developed acœrding to the permitted land Use Plan intensities. Since the Land Use Element does not contemplate the elimination of exlstfng housing fn the City, the effective build-out figure represents a more rea11stic estimate of future residential development. As indicated in Table A-4, four of the non-residentIaIland use designations have a range in FAR Intensities. For the non-residential land use designations. effective buld-out oonaidered thé development possible under the lower range of FAR Jnten8ities while IheoretIcaI buld-out considered '" upper FAR range. Typically, parking and land8caping requirements will result In significantly lesl floor area for commercial and industrial developments than that which Is permitted under the General Plan. As indicated In Table A..4. between 60.248 to 77.810 housing units are aRowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in the City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buld.. out scenario are a reflection of the higher denlity multiple-family developments constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. However. the purpose of the Land Use Plan as its applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of existing neighborhoods, regardless of the character of development. The intent of the Plan is not to create any displacement. nor decrease exi8ting development den8itJes. Rather. it fa to ensure a safe, healthy. and tivableenvironment for City residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through this Land Use Element. applicable Zoning regulations. and sections of the City code pertaining to legal nonconfonning U88S.

A very positive feature of many paths in Santa Ana is their ability to communica~ to ~ and pedestrians, the Identity of 1he dJaIrIcts they hverse. These paths <ïOr'Mty a better sense of place and facilitate the creation of a strong city form. This is due, inJarge measure, to the unique cultural diversity and historic heritage of the Santa Ana neighborhoods which are portrayed by the physical attributes and character of these paths. For example, Main Street. First Street, and Santa Ana BoufeY8'd convey procession to the Downtown, Vehicle circutation is given precedence over pedestrian movement In strip oriented ccmrnetdaI deVelopment The only significantpedeslrian path is Fourth Street as I passes through downtown. This pedestrtan path has a very strong presence in the City and the community, providing a variety of amenities, such as retaH shopping, ofIœ. services. and entertainment uses which complement each other and attract people. Other streets have the potential to accommodate both vehicle and pedestrian movement. especially Main Street and other downtown streets. . Nodes Nodes arear.. of compatible and fntensIve activities. Nodes typically have .identiffabJe boundaries which. through unique design characteristics. provide a clear sense of place. A well- defined node,. containing sharply defined boundaries, is very effective in promoting unåty of design, purpose, and aesthetics. Key design issues related to nodes in the City incfude the following: . Some nodes in the City are intended to serve as district centers as indicated in the Land Use Bement One Broadway Plaza District Center is an example. The DIstrict Center concept was developed to promote the conœntration d assorted activities in specific areas of the City. Each of the district centers has excellent automobile. bus. and pedestrian access since trey are Intended to be destination points. Some examples of nodes incfude the CiVic Center which accommodates numerous govemmentagencles; Hutton Centerwhich contains a mix of office buildings; Santa Ana CoJIege, which provide$ a mix of Institutional uses; and a number of evolving recreational nodes such as the Santa Ana Zoo and Bowers Museum. .

SUrrounding land use and. building design provide a backgmund context for the landmark. reWorelng Its role as an important visual element. Key design issues related to landmarks include I1e following: . Most of the existing landmarks in the CIty 8'8 concentrated along the Santa Ana Freeway and In the downtown wfth relatively few In other locations. A number of prominent Iandmartcs evoke very pleasant and memorable experiences In ObServerS. Some of hse landmarks have been in the City for many yeats, exhibiting a strong context that enhances their visibility. Good examples of this include the old Orange County Courthouse, located on Santa Ana Boulevard in the downtown area, and the water tower along the santa Ana Freeway. Other landmarks in the City are newer. though they still have established 8 reputation as recogniZabJe landmarks. A good example is the One Broadway Plaza, Xerox Center tower, Hotel Terrace, or the VIetnamese CathoØc Community Center and Chapel located at Seventeenth Street and Harbor Boulevard. In addition, most neighborhoods have reference points which serve as local landmarks in the community. These local landmartœ generally include schools. parks, church buildings. or even 8 welf.established oomer store. -- . . Some -.ndmark$" stand out in their surroundings and act as good reference points in people's minds; however, they may fall short of conveying an image of community pride, historic significance, and architectural quality. An example of a "perceived" landmark is the radio antenna located next to I1e Santa Ana freeway. ThIs "1andma11<" lacks architectutal significanœ and attrac;tlve design features. Nevertheless. It is generally considered a Ioc8 point of reference. .~ . .

Other landmarks!n the City are new places that have established a reputation and recognition as landmarks in the City. These Include: the One Broadway Plaza. Xerox Center Tower. Main Place Mall. the Regional Transportation Center {RTC}, Hotel Terrace. Mutton center/MacArthur Place. the Federal Courthouse (Centrepointe site), and the Diacovery Science Center. The City has no other cityWide or regionally recogniZed landmarks, even though at the local level. neighborhooda do have reference points that act as local landmarks in their communitle8, often these are school .sites, church buildings, or a well established comer store. Gateways Gateways located at the CIty's northern and eastern borders are clearty defined. The SP8C8$ in these areas ha\l8 characteristics that create a $8018 of arrival by means of changes in the character and appearance. For example a sudden change in building height, generously landscaped yards. or other changes In amenities and/or design, announce a different kind of ptace. In arriving to the City from the south. a sense of arrival doe$ not occur untn well into the South Main Street district, when the homogeneity of the urban form begins to define the district. Gateways located within the west side of the City, along Harbor Boulev8'd. exist because of the Immediate loss of continuity and the variety of activities and development 8peåflcally. there are a number of gateways found In the City which are identified by posted signs, landscaped medians, or monument. signs situated at major Intersections within the City limits. Some posted entry points to the City do not meet the definition of a "gateway" because they did not convey. 8en88 of amval to the City. On the other hand. there were several points of entry where the "arrival at a speds.' place" is more clearly defined. For example, the northem part of the City has distinctive gateways at Bristol Street. Main Street. and at the Santa Ana Freeway. There are also recognizable gateways to the east. at Seventeenth Street. the Santa Ana Freeway, and Edinger Avenue. Incidentally, the lack of gateways in many places coincides with those ar... where districts have gradually expanded outside the City as they merged with the surrounding communities. In many instances, these districts are perceived to be part of the neighboring cities. For example, thecomars of Bristot Street and Sunflower Avenue, Dyer Road and Red Hill Avenue, First and Euclid Streets, and Harbor Boulevard and Seventeenth Street.
