DISCUSSION
On August 2, 2004, City Council approved the second reading of Ordinance
NS-2649 rezoning the property located at One Broadway Plaza from Midtown
Specific Plan Specific Plan to One Broadway Specific Development District.
This ordinance would have taken effect on September 2, 2004 (thirty days
after the approval date). However, pursuant to provisions in the Elections
50A-1
Special Municipal Election
November 15, 2004
Page 2
Code related to referendum petitions, opponents of Ordinance NS-2649
submitted 515 petition sections to the Clerk of the Council on September 1,
2004.
On September 27, 2004, the Registrar of Voters notified the Clerk of the
Council that 8,475 signatures, or 10% of the registered voters in Santa
Ana, were verified as valid, thus qualifying the referendum petition
against Ordinance NS-2649 (One Broadway Plaza). The ordinance was
suspended, and, under the provisions of the Elections Code, the City
Council is required to reconsider the ordinance and either rescind it or
submit the matter to the voters at the next regular municipal election
occurring not less than 88 days of the order, or at a special election.
On October 4, 2004, the City Council received and filed the certification
of the petition, and formed an Ad Hoc Council Committee comprised of
Councilmembers Bist and Christy to meet with staff, proponents of the
referendum petition, and the developer to discuss the financial impact of a
special election, and to recommend an election date. At the first Ad Hoc
Committee meeting on October 13, 2004, the Registrar of Voters, Steven
Rodermund, estimated that a special election would cost the City $2.50 per
registered voter. He further estimated that an election consolidated with
the next municipal election in November 2006 would cost $1.00 per
registered voter. The most recent report of voter registration filed with
the Secretary of State by the Registrar of Voters in October reflects that
voter registration in Santa Ana is now 90,464.
Proponents of the referendum present at the October 13th meeting
recommended that an election on this matter be scheduled as soon as
possible. On November 9, 2004, the Ad Hoc Committee met and recommended
April 5, 2005 as the date of the Special Election on the referendum
measure.
The Santa Ana City Charter requires that all elections be called by
ordinance. The subj ect ordinance establishes April 5, 2005 as the date
for the referendum measure related to the One Broadway Plaza project.
The City Council may, by resolution, request the Orange County Board of
Supervisors to permit the Registrar of Voters to render specified services
to the city relating to the conduct of an election. The subject resolution
requests the Board of Supervisors of Orange County to permit the Registrar
of Voters to perform all necessary and required services to conduct the
Special Municipal Election in the City of Santa Ana, including canvassing
the election returns.
The Elections Code specifies that the persons filing a referendum petition
may file a written argument related to the ballot measure. Elections Code
Section 9282 also specifies that the legislative body, or any member or
members of the legislative body authorized by that body, may submit or sign
a written argument for or against the referendum. This section further
authorizes any individual voter or bona fide association of citizens to
50A-2
Special Municipal Election
November 15, 2004
Page 3
write arguments. The subject resolution would give authorization to any
member of the Council desiring to submit or sign an argument for or against
the referendum measure.
Whenever any city measure qualifies to be on a ballot, the City Council may
direct the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure
showing the effect of the measure on the existing law and the operation of
the measure. The analysis is printed in the Voter Information Pamphlet
preceding the arguments for and against the measure. In the absence of the
impartial analysis, the entire text of the ordinance would need to be
printed, significantly increasing election costs.
The procedures for filing ballot arguments are detailed in the Elections
Code. The Clerk of the Council is recommending that January 4, 2005 be
fixed as the date after which no arguments for or against any city measure
may be submitted for printing and distribution to the voters. The Election
Code procedures, as well as general guidelines for preparing arguments will
be provided in a notice prepared by the Clerk of the Council and posted
following final adoption of the election ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
The County has estimated that the cost of running a special election will
be $227,000, based on current voter registration in the City. Funds for
this expenditure will be provided through a combination of savings and
deferred purchases or projects in the General Fund, the Equipment
Replacement Fund and the Technology Plan Fund.

central Sanla Aila area, and could result in a number of law finns and
court reporung firms relocating from elsewhere, or in the significant
expansion of existing court-related firms in the planning area. The
new Federal court facilities are scheduled for completion in 1997.
Downtown Santa Ana and Fiesta Marketplace
Downtown Santa Aila has emerged as a major shopping and office
area specializing in Latino-oriented businesses and government
offices. Coupled with its relatively easy mass transit access and
central location in the County's prima¡y concentration of Latinos, this
area will likely continue as a major shopping district, and will
significantly affect activity patterns and uses in the Midtown planning
area. Recent trends towards locating technical schools in the
southem poruons of the planning area are, amongst other influences,
an indication of its easy access and the nearby location of the
Downtown shopping districl
Civic Center Comptex
The concentration of local, Slate and Federal govemment offices in
the Civic Center Complex is felt throughout the planning area. A
survey of major office buildings in the Midtown area shows that a
large number of Federal and County agencies have located in the
planning area. If govemment services expand, additional demand for
relatively inexpensive office space may be felt in the planning area.
However, the short- and mid-term trend will be towards re-
consotidating governmenlai services into the Civic Center complex.
This witl draw users away from tile Midtown planning area, and could
increase the already high vacancy rates in the high rise buildings
south of Washington Street
Regional TransportaUon Center (RTC) Complex
The RTC at the intersection of Santa Aila Boulevard and Santiago
Avenue could emerge as a major node of urban activity as the new
METROLlNK system gains ndership, and as rail transit links are
provided with the downtown/civic center complex and the rest of
Orange County. Future land uses in the RTC area are presently
being planned. The effect on future land uses in the Midtown area
cannot be predicted at this point, but the planning area's location
near the RTC could help attract office uses along with supporting
retail commercial and restaurant development to the southern half of
the planning area.

PLANNING AREA ACCESS
At present, primary east-west access to the Midtown planning area is
via First Street on the south and Seventeenth Street on the north.
Main Street and Broadway provide primary arterial access to the
downtown/civic center complex from the north and the south.
An .enhanced intersection. has been designated for Seventeenth
Skeet and Main Street, and Seventeenth and Broadway, through
General Plan Amendment No. 92-9. The intersection improvements
will include increasing the number of .tanes at the intersection
approach to increase capacity. The exact configuration of the
intersection will be based on detailed kaffic and land use analysis.
Freeway access to the Midtown area is provided by Interstate 5,
either from the Main Street interchange to the north, or the
Seventeenth Street interchange to the northeast. Once
improvements are complete, access to the planning area from the
southeast will be provided by the FirsVFourth Skeet interchange.
Even though competing employment centers have more convenient
freeway access, the Midtown area benefits directly from its easy
mass transit access. Bus access to the planning area is direct due
mosUy to the area's location near the Civic Center complex and the
location of OCT A's main transit terminal at Broadway and Fifth
Street. Commuter rail access is currently being provided at the
Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, and bus service is
available for direct access to the Midtown area. As described above,
both METROLlNK and fixed guideway services will be available in
the future. The implication for the planning area is that in the future
its accessibility by rapid transit will be excellent, which over the long
term will increase the attractiveness of the area as a business
location. The planning area will also increasingly benefit adjacent
residential neighborhoods with its convenience to jobs, shopping and
regional transit
VISUAL STRENGTIiS AND WEAKNESSES
An inventory of Midtown's visual strengths and weaknesses is
documented on Exhibit 4. Visual Strengths and Weaknesses. The
following process was employed for this visual assessment.
.
The photographic inventory, building survey, and physical
constraints mapping of Midtown conducted for the design
charette were reviewed to gain familiarity with the planning area.
A walking and driving survey was conducted by the consulting
team to confirm the inventory data.

Exhibit 4
Visual Strenghts and Weaknesses

50A-15
Midtown Specific Plan
.
Views from streets were assessed to define locations where
positive views exist.
Street frontages were reviewed and notated according to their
positive or negative appearance. Buildings that are not well
maintained and frontages that are visually overwhelmed by a
confusion of signs are examples of factors contributing to a
negative appearance. Positive factors indude well maintained
frontages, buildings and setbacks, or mature landscaping along
the street.
.
Based on the inventory review and field surveys, elements that
slrengthen or weaken Midtown's visual qualities were identified and
mapped. A discussion of the visual strengths and weaknesses of
Midtown follows.
Strengths
Aesthetic Street Views
The factors that influence these views are the architecturally
significant buildings along Civic Center Drive and the view east on
Eighth Street, which is terminated by an attractive residential
slructure. Views along Bush Street are enhanced in the blocks that
have mature slreetlrees on both sides of the slreet.
BUildings of Character
These include the buildings identified in the Survey of North
Main/North Broadway Corridor, dated March 22, 1992 and prepared
by the Historic Resources Review Committee. In addition, individual
structures and groups of structures that add to the character and
scale of various streets in Midtown are shown.
Mature Street Trees
Bush ,Street and Broadway have large numbers of mature street
trees, although several blocks have only a few or none. Some of the
east-west cross streets also have segments with mature. street trees,
including Eighth Street, Tenth Street, and Washington Street.
Open Space
Several significant open space areas make a positive contribution to
Midtown. These include the church at Tenth and Main and the
financial institution at Main Street and Washington.
Positive Street Image
Exhibit 4 shows several street segments throughout Midtown which
exhibit an overall positive image due to the quality of landscaping,
well.maintained and attractive building facades, and signage that is in
scale and character with the buildings.
Midtown Specific Plan
Weaknesses
Large Expanses of Unscreened Parking
The negative impact from unscreened parking areas is exhibited
primarily along Sycamore Street and Broadway between Civic Center
Drive and Tenth Street. Many of these parking lots lack landscaping
that provides visual buffering. This lack of screening magnifies the
adverse impacts of large expanses of parking.
Negative Street Image
Also shown on Exhibit 4 are various segments of Midtown's street
frontages which are visually unattractive. This is due to a
combination of factors, including vacant buildings, deteriorating
buildings, unkempt grounds, loud colors, blank walls, and unattractive
signs.

SPECIFIC PLAN PRINCIPLES
The following specific plan principles provide overall guidance in the
areas of land use, design, and parking and circulation. Urban Design
Principles, Exhibit S, iIIustrales the following specilic plan principles.
The subsequent chaplers describe in detail the developmenl
standards and design guidelines for each of the five land use/activity
districts, a landscape concept plan, circulalion and parking plans and
a review of implementation mechanisms.
LAND USE
0 Encourage a land use pattern that builds upon the concepts
identified in the Midtown Conceptual Plan while furthering the land
use policy principles established in Santa Ana's General Plan.
0 Residential concepts and densities should be consistent with
General Plan policies.
0 Establish links to surrounding employment and shopping areas.
Protecl and maintain the adjacent Willard, French Court and
French Park neighborhoods.
0 Limit single room occupancy development only to the YWCA
building.
0 Encourage the adaptive re-use 01 historically or architecturally
significant buildings and districts throughout Midtown.
0 Encourage recrealion, entertainment and cultural activities in
Midtown to complement the Museum Dislricl.
0 Protect the image and integrity ollhe Broadway Corridor.
URBAN DESIGN
The following urban design principles address the overall form and
structure of Midtown with specific details for ils five land use/activity
districts. After general considerations, they address views and
gateways, building form, open space nodes, and pedestrian space
linkages. These principles are intended to reinlorce the unique
identity 01 Midtown's activity districts and to achieve a coherent
overall image. (Reier to ExhibitS, Urban Design Principles.)
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
. Develop a strong sense of community identity for Midtown as a
whole and for each 01 its districts.
. Strengthen pedestrian access into, around and through the
Midtown area to the maximum extent possible consistent with the
City's congestion management programs.
. Develop a comprehensive public improvements program,
including consistent landscape and streetscape themes.
. Create a secure environment that will protect the community
and attract addilional business investmenl.
. Create a safe and pleasant open space component including
plazas and passive green spaces.
. Protect the character of the Broadway Corridor north of
Washington Avenue and Bush Street by reinforcing the
predominant scale of developmenl.
. Develop site and architectural design standards based on
principles that promote and protect the identity and character of
Midtown while stimulating additional investmenl.
. Preserve and build upon Santa Ana's historical resources and
other significant resources.
VIEWS AND GATEWAYS
Establish distinctive gateways to Midtown on Main Street al
Civic Center Drive and Seventeenth Street through a
combination 01 buildings, landscaping, signage, and streetscape
designs.
Enhance the streetscape of the approach routes to Midtown on
Seventeenth Street and Civic Center Drive to contribute to
greater aesthetic quality and beauty. Streetscape, landscape,
signage and iighting should be coordinated to achieve a
distinctive sense of arrival to Midtown.
Extend downtown Santa Ana's historic street grid of square
blocks into Midtown by inlroducing cross block view axes
wherever appropriate to break up the excessive length 01 the
blocks along Main Streel. These visual breaks should occur at
Ninlh, Eleventh and Fourteenth Streets. This will provide an
appropriate scale to the blocks and corridors.

Midtown Specific Plan
50A-18
BUILDING FORM
Building form shall contribute to the unique character desired for
Midtown's various activity districts.
. Cluster taller buildings on Main Street from Civic Center Drive to
Washington Avenue, tapering heights and intensities towards.
Washington Avenue, to reinforce existing office towers, and to
express the Civic/Professional and Financial Districts' role as
employment centers. A tower form is most appropriate for Main
Street, because it refiects the form of existing oHice structures.
There shall be only one new tower of 6 to 8 stories in the
Financial District, with other buildings of one and two stories.
. Use lower buildings to define and protect pedestrian space and
create an activity edge along Main Street and the mid-block
extensions of Ninth, Eleventh and Fourteenth Streets.
. The form and siting of older structures of character on Broadway
north of Washington and Bush (sited on small lots with front and
side yards) shall be refiected by new development and
revitalization of existing buildings along these streets.
Establish specific height zones to regulate building height, with the
greatest heights on Main Street between Civic Center Drive and
Washington, intermediate heights on Broadway and on Main Street
north of Washington, and the lowest buiiding heights along
Broadway and Bush Streets. (See Exhibit 6, General Building
Heights.)
OPEN SPACE NODES
Main Street shall be accented by two open space nodes, one at the
intersection of Tenth, and one at Washington. These nodes are
intended to provide open space relief in the center of Midtown.
These nodes shall be connected by a linear open space strip along
Sycamore south of Tenth Street and north of Washington, which will
funclion as an integral part of Midtown's central open space resource.
PEDESTRIAN SPACE
Pedestrian space shall reinforce the ground fioor activities within
districts and provide convenient and attractive routes and social
spaces throughout Midtown. Main Street and the Ninth Street
pedestrian way are the primary shopping streets with continuous
storefronts defining the street space.
Wherever possible, the sidewalk will be widened to encourage
pedestrian activity and provide space for enhanced landscaping and
streetscape amenities.
Strengthen the qualities of pedestrian space on Broadway and Bush
by maintaining mature street trees, landscaped front yards, clear
1destrian paths, and by requiring future development to provide
these features.

Mid/own Specific Plan
. Mid-block pedestrian street crossings are not encouraged. All
pedestrian movements will be directed to approved crosswalks.
. Enhance the pedestrian scale of the Eleventh and Fourteenth
Street mid-block pedestrian ways between Main and Sycamore by
encouraging retail activities and landscaping along their edges.
. Provide safe, convenient and pleasant walkways tin king
surrounding residential areas to Midtown activity districts.
These east-west connections include Washington, and Fifteenth
Streets to the west, and Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Washington,
Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Streets to the easL
CIRCULATION
. Maintain Broadway and Main as strong, visually attractive
business corridors while making sure that their ability to safeiy
carry high traffic volumes is maintained.
. Maintain the function of Washington Street, Civic Center Drive, and
Seventeenth Street as east-west connectors.
. Develop land use and design strategies for incorporating a
proposed fixed guideway rail mass transit system through
Midtown, including possible alignments.
. Protect Bush Street from heavy business and residential traffic in
order to maintain its residential character.
LAND USE/ACTIVITY DISTRICTS
Midtown will provide for a wide variety of uses organized into five
land use districts. These districts were first identilied as part of the
initial conceptual planning for Midtown, and have been refined
through additional area analysis. (See Exhibit 7, Midtown Districts.)
Each is intended to be distinct from the other. but supportive of the
whole area by contributing to a balance of commercial, public, office
and other employment activities.
The following six chapters deline each district according to its theme,
objectives, land uses or activities, physical framework, site attributes,
development opportunities, development standards, and design
guidelines. Property lines shown on exhibits are based on assessor
parcel maps and do not necessarily reflect legal parcels.

Building Envelopes
General
The pennitted building envelopes in the Civic/Professional District are
defined by height and front yard setback requirements established for
each block. Their primary purpose is to establish the relationship
between public and private pedestrian space and the building wall,
which forms its edge. Setbacks define pedestrian space at the
ground level and show where higher buildings (greater than 35 feet)
can be sited.
Exhibit 10, Civic/Professional District Height and Setbacks, provides
the setback dimensions from property lines and other benchmarks
throughout the district, and height limits and setbacks for buildings
higher than 35 feet. Reference information on the exhibit shows
existing buildings that are likely 10 remain, thereby indicating
relationships between existing buildings and potential new
development or realization.
Also shown for reference are major features of the comprehensive
plan, including major open spaces, planned parking facilities,
pedestrian access ways and recommended ground ffoor arcades.
Building Height
Height is specified by number of stories and feet as measured from
:urb height. .
Generally, the maximum height for alllow.rise buildings is 35 feet.
Buildings above 35 feet in the Civic/Professional District include
existing office towers on Main street and Broadway and potential
office towers clustered at the intersection of Main street and Ninth
Street, where heights may be up to 120 feet.
The towers are set back 15 feet from the Main Street and Ninth
Street property lines or edge of the Ninth Street private pedestrian
way. A maximum diagonal dimension is also specified to encourage
slender towers.
An oplional tower configuration is shown for a business hotel on the
Buffum's block, whereby two hotel towers would be permitted wilh
appropriate spacing between and a maximum 140 foot diagonal
dimension.
Setbacks
Setbacks at ground level are estabiished to enhance pedestrian
space throughout the district, create compatible relationships
between existing and future building street walls and recognize
opportunities to create new open space resources, such as plazas,
pedestrian ways and landscaped areas.
:he major setback conditions are discussed below by street:
Main Street. A variety of conditions exist, but most buildings have
no setback, thereby resulting in a tight, urban sidewalk character
of minimal width. Major exceptions are the church plaza at
Tenth and Main and the existing tower between Eighth and
Ninth, which is setback 12 feet and has a 13 foot wide ground
level arcade.
The potential future tower sites at Ninth and Main would
maintain the 15 foot setback condition and provide a 15 foot
wide ground level arcade in the setback.
The towers would be setback 15 feet from all property lines,
thus reffecting the siting of all existing towers on Main street.
Open space and plaza amenities to be maintained and provided
include the existing church plaza at Tenth Street, a wide
sidewalk area across the street mirroring the wide sidewalk area
north of Tenth, a corner plaza at Ninth and Main to provide an
entry court for the potential tower, and a pedestrian plaza in a
portion of the abandoned Seventh Street right-of-way.
Ninth Street Pedestrian Way. This planned private access way
is 40 feet wide and lined with 15 foot deep ground level arcades
along most of its length. It terminates in a 70 foot wide plaza,
also lined with arcades, on the west side of Broadway.
Civic Center Drive. The existing building walls will create a
variegated landscaped area with varied and generous setbacks
along the street, providing an aesthetic foreground for the
cluster of older buitdings of character likely to remain, and
contributing to the parkway character which exists along much
of Civic Center Drive.
Broadway. Twenty foot setbacks are established for all new
developments. This will permit the landscaped character of
Broadway north of Washington to be continued to south of
Tenth Street. The exceptions are existing buildings that remain,
which have less the 20 foot setbacks.
Sycamore Street. Sycamore functions primarily as a local service
street and provides access to existing and planned parking.
Three variations to the standard condition of zero setback occur:
the church plaza at Tenth Street and a wide (35 foot) setback
across the street 10 extend the landscaped character; comer
setbacks and arcades at the Ninth Street pedestrian way
intersection with Sycamore; and landscaped parkway areas at
Civic Center Drive. Vine pockets are encouraged along parking
structures and a 10 foot landscaped setback is required at
surface parking lots.
Church Plaza. An expanded landscaped open space is planned to
enhance the setling for the church. The south edge would be
defined by a ground level arcade.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT
THEME
A midrise district of office towers on Main Street, with a vibrant
street-life of support retait stores, services and restaurants. (See
Exhibit 21 , Financial District Concept Plan.)
OBJECTIVES
.
Maintain the existing concentration ot financiat institutions and
office towers on Main Street and encourage reinvestment to
enhance the quality of this space.
Encourage an office tower development on Main Street.
Encourage ground floor retail uses on Main Street to serve
the day-time office employees, visitor traffic on Main Street and
to enhance the quality of the pedestrian experience.
Enhance the sidewalk space on Main Street through widening,
additional landscaping and streetscape amenities on private
property.
.
.
.
LAND USE ACTIVITIES
The Financial District lies at the center of Midtown from Tenth Street
on the south and Washington Street on the north, and between
Sycamore Street on the west and Bush Street on the east. The
Financiat District abuts the Civic/Professionat District on the south,
with its intended concentration of institutional and civic uses, and is
within easy walking distance of the downtown retaii activities along
Fourth Street. The Financial District is bordered by the One
Broadway District Center on the west with its mix of office and retail
uses, and by the historic French Park residential district on the east.
Lower intensity strip commercial development predominates along
Main Street north of Washington Avenue.
The Financial District's primary role in the Midtown area is to act as a
concentrated office district that will attract a mix of professional
offices, financial institutions, and governmental agencies reliant in
part on proximity to the Civic Center. Ground floor space should be
filled with uses that are traditionally street oriented and encourage
pedestrian activity, including retail establishments. restaurants,

Midtown Specific Plan
c1nks, credit unions, and other activities that serve office workers in
.old near the district.
Given the relatively homogenous character of the Financial District,
activity patterns will be much less complex than characterized by the
Civic/Professional District to the south and the mixed office and
residential districts to the east and west. Uses foreseen for the
Financial District include:
.
Professional, financial, insurance and real estate offices.
Offices that rely on direct interface with clientele, such as retail
bank operations, should locate on ground floors.
Governmental agencies needing larger floor areas, but not
having a large walk-in clientele. Examples include specialized
service agencies, regional planning agencies, independent
transit authorities, and Federal offices.
Retail commercial uses that serve office workers and clients,
including ground floor retail shops such as books, stationary,
gifts, personal services, business services, and restauranls.
Museums, galleries, or unique attractions.
Day care facilities
Medical offices and clinics located on the upper floors of
commercial office buildings.
.
.
.
.
.
PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK
.
The urban street grid is reinforced by the extension of
Eleventh Street as a mid-block pedestrian way.
Main Street is the primary north-south arterial, and access to
parking is provided by cross streets and Sycamore Street south
of Tenth Street and north of Washington.
Open space nodes and special intersection streetscape on
Main Street at Tenth and Washington Streets provide
landmarks for the district.
.
.
.
Main Street is the primary pedestrian focus for the district.
New and existing large floor-plate spaces fronling Main
Street are to be refurbished to enhance the Main Street
pedestrian environment.
.
SITE ATTRIBUTES
.
Significant concentraüon of exisüng office space
Main Street address
Highly visible and accessible location
.
.
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The following development opportunities define the major projects
within the district. The descriptions approximate the development
potential of each site, and do not indicate actual permilted capacities.
These will be defined by development standards and design
guidelines.
.
Reuse and refurbishment of an appropriate ground floor
activity on Main Street, such as a food court, gallery or exhibit
space, as a bank, as a business service (including, but not
limited to, copy services, Federal Express offices or United
Parcel Service offices), or as service office uses such as
insurance .or travel agencies.
Upgrading the existing office towers.
New office tower and ground floor retail space on east side of
Main Street between Eleventh Street and Washington Avenue.
This project could include refurbishment of the bank building on
Main Street at Eleventh Street and incorporate the existing trade
school biock at Washington and Main.
Jewelry mart in an office tower.
.
.
.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses
Permitted Uses
Permilted uses in the Financial District shall be as follows.
1.
2.
3.
Professional, business and administralive offices and services.
Banks, finance, insurance and real estate offices.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Figure Ground Diagram (Exhibit 23)
This diagram illustrates the spatial qualities of this district at
maximum build-out. Future buildings along Eleventh Street and Main
should be aligned to create a 'street wall' as illustrated in the
diagram. The 'street wall' may either be solid or porous with periodic
minor breaks in its continuity so long as the whole wall is seen to
define the street edge. A pedestrian way should be provided in line
with Eleventh Street, between Main and Sycamore. An Outlet from
the Bush Street parking structure between Eleventh and Washington
should be provided onto Main, using the Twellth Street right-of-way.
Upper parking levels should be masked from the Eleventh Street
pedestrian way by smaller scaled openings. The lateral width of bay
openings should not exceed 24 feet in order to maintain pedestrian
scale and rhythm of architectural features.

Pedestrian/Parking Diagram (Exhibit 25)
These diagrams iIIust/ate vehicular access points and pedestrian
paths at proposed parking structures. To ensure lively streets, the
following design guidelines are recommended:
. Discourage general public access from parking structures
directly to buildings to encourage pedestrian traffic on the street.
. Stairs and elevators serving parking structures be located with
direct access onto street sidewalk; preferably, stairs should be
located at or as near as possible to the intersection of two
streets.
Shops front directly onto Tenth, Eleventh, and Washington
Streets.
.
.
Where possible, retail should also be located on major
north/south streets; if only one entrance is to be provided, it
should be off the side streets (EaslJWest), with the exception of
Washington Street.
No parking structures shall front on Main Street.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Figure Ground Diagram (Exhibit 31)
This diagram illustrates that the buildings along the west side of Main
Street shall be continuous in contrasting with the existing and
proposed new structures on the east side of Main Street, which are
cited on small lots and have side yard setbacks.
Where shown on the Figure Ground Diagram an arcade 01 at leasl15
feet in depth and 15 feet - 35 feel in height should be provided.
A plaza should be located at the west side of Main between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Streets. That plaza provides access from the parking
structure located belween Sycamore and Main. The arcade along
Main Street should wrap around the buildings as they come towards
the parking structure.
A distinct break in buildings should be made for pedestrians in line
with Fourteenth Street, north of Washington.
All buildings on the west side of the street should form a continuous
street wall.
A double row of street trees (palms) should be employed along Main
Street to further enhance the pedestrian space and unify the
streetscape. Street trees will be located on private property, and
within the Main Street right-of.way.
An entry plaza is to be provided at the intersection of Main and
Seventeenth Streets.
Buildings on the east side of Main should be continuous between
Seventeenth and Sixteenth Streets as well as between Washington
and Fourteenth Streets with the exception of the plaza giving access
to the parking.
The buiidings between Fourteenth and Sixteenth Streets should
reflect the context and scale of existing structures in that segment of
Main Street. The parcel bounded by Main, Washington and
Sycamore and presently including Home Savings, is to include a
heavily landscaped parking lot with large canopy trees and a large
plaza at Main and Washington.

Chapter 7: Broadway Corridor District
50A-35

Midtown Specific Plan
LAND USE/ACTIVITIES
The Broadway Corridor District encompasses both sides of
Broadway and the west side of Sycamore Street between
Washington and Seventeenth Street. With the notable exception of
the 10 story office building in the 1600 block and the next door
apartment complex, this area is a mix of residential, office, and
institutional uses in one and two story buildings. The Broadway
District abuts the CividProfessional District to the south, and backs
onto the One Broadway District Center and the Community and
Specially Retail District to the east. The Broadway District has a
strong historic character, with a number of buildings dating from the
turn of the century.
The Broadway District will continue to play its current role in the
Midtown area by providing lower-intensity office space mixed with
residential and institutional activities, such as churches and social
services. The urban scale and fonn will remain that of a large square
footage single family neighborhood wilh deep setbacks from the
street. Broadway itself will continue to carry heavy traffic as a
secondary arterial access for the downtown and Civic Center areas
to the south. The Broadway District will continue to serve the
downtown and Civic Center areas with professional offices, space for
semi-public service agencies such as the YWCA, and limited
residential uses. While very low intensity in character, the district will
thus house a wide variety of uses and activities.
These activities and uses include the following:
. Professional, financial, insurance and real estate offices with
litlle walk-in traffic.
Institutional office uses, including public agencies and private
office uses.
.
Specially and general praclice medical and dental offices.
Reoccupied single family structures for cottage industries, as a
condilional use.
Day care facilities.
Congregate care and convalescent homes.
.
.
PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK
.
Broadway is the major north-south arterial forming the western
edge of Midtown.
Older structures, landscaped front yards, mature street trees
and small lot frontages define Broadway's unique character. (The
long-range land use policy is to create a landscaped open
space centrally located to the Midtown District).
.
SITE ATTRIBUTES
.
Between residential neighborhoods and central city COmmercial
district.
Significant concentration of older structures of character
Landscaped front yards and mature street trees.
Smalilots and primarily residentially-scaled structures.
.
.
.
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The following development opportunities define the major projects
within the district. The descriptions approximate the development
potential of each site, and do not indicate actual pennitted capacities.
These will be defined by development standards and desig
guidelines.
Small Lot Infilt. Existing vacant lots, and those with deteriorating
structures that are not architecturally significant provide sites for
small-scale office development, consistent with the architectural
styles and scale of surrounding structures.
Renovation. Refurbishment of existing structures for re-use as
professional offices, services and institutional uses.
Revitalization. Upgrading major office structures to make them
competilive in the. local office market.

LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN
Midtown is articulated by an urban fabric of city blocks bounded by
avenues and streets. The landscape concept plan (Exhibit 41,
Landscape Concept Plan) proposes to strengthen the existing grid
pattern and define the character of individual roadways with a
specific palette of plant materials arranged formally along the street
space. Two distinct open plaza spaces occur on Main Street at
Home Savings and First Church of Christ Science. The following
sections delineate the different proposed streetscape concepts from
the palm lined Main Street to the quiet canopy of Bush Street.
PUBLIC & PRIVATE OPEN SPACE
Currently all open space areas in Midlown are privately owned, with
the exception of street and other rights-of-way. This relationship will
remain the same inlo the future, with all or most publicly accessible
space such as plazas, promenades or courtyards being privately
owned and managed. New development will be required to improve
certain plazas and pedestrian promenades in accordance wilh the
Landscape Concept Plan (Exhibit 41).
MAIN STREET
Main Street will be the gateway to Midtown and ils landscape
character should reflect the importance of Ihis role. Queen Palms
are proposed 10 provide a vertical street tree compatible with the
cluster of office towers and 10 mirror Ihe Broadway streetscape.
This will develop a verlical scale that could be idenlified from a
distance. Banners hanging from the street lights could further
enhance Main Street's importance and announce special events such
as festivals and merchant.sponsored promotions.
As lunds become available, intersections will be improved at four
locations: Seventeenth. Washington, Tenth, and Civic Center Drive.
Enhanced paving or interlocking pavers would be utilized to define
pedestrian crossing and set a standard for material upgrades for Ihe
district.
Subject 10 funding. Ihe fOllowing streelscape upgrades could be
utilized along Main Street 10 develop a vital commercial element:

PUBUC SPACE NODES AND CONNECTORS
The open space nodes will be connected by a passive park-like
corridor. The character will be natural and freeform developing an
oasis away from the urban grid. Indigenous plants will slrengthen the
exisUng oak and sycamore habitat.
Two open space plazas (non-buildable areas) will require special
landscape treatment to create successful gathering places and
complement their existing architecturallandmar1ls, the First Church of
Christ Science and Home Savings
At both sites the slreet corner enhancement will be extended 10 all
four adjacent comers. Intersection enhancement will include
enhanced paving, signage, flags and banners, canopy Irees for
architectural definition, and palms for vertical scale. [Enhancement
shall develop a landscape node that shall define the vehicular and
pedestrian right-of-way for safety and function.]
Landscape will envelop the open space with dense canopy Irees to
create a park like selting around and within the existing parking
behind Home Savings. Future development plans will preserve the
diagonal alignment created by Homes Savings to ensure the plaza
I space. Tree layout will provide visual access to architectural
structures, screen the barren walls of neighboring buildings and
emphasize the urban grid that surrounds them. The plaza around
the First Church of Christ Science (Exhibit 42, Church Plaza) should
remain as green space. The design will incorporate a retail arcade
along the south edge of the plaza.

CIRCULATION
CIRCULATION PLAN
Traffic and circulation analysis was completed as part of the
evaluation of proposed conceptual land use plans for the Midtown
District. The development envisioned for the study area, which
consists of a variety of land uses and proposed parking facilities,
would impact the circulation conditions in the study area. The study
area is in dose proximity to the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5) with
convenient access to the Orange (SR.57), Costa Mesa (SR-55) and
Garden Grove (SR-22) Freeways.
Circulation System Principles
Maintain Broadway and Main Street as enhanced visual corridors
while ensuring that north/south arterial capacities are maintained.
. Encourage safe pedestrian flow internal to the existing block
setting.
. Encourage pedestrians to use crosswalks across Main
StreeUBroadway where signal control is available.
. Prohibit on-slreet parking along Main Street and Broadway.
. Encourage access to parking lots/structures from secondary
easUwest streets.
.
Locate parking facilities so that pedestrians are encouraged to
cross streets safely.
Protect Bush Street and Sycamore Street from heavy traffic to
preserve and promote their character.
. Evaluate the use of stop sign control on Sycamore Street at
Ninth.
Increase car carrying capacity of parallel streets, Broadway and
Main Streets.
Evaluate the potential for new easUwest streets and pedestrian
access paths. on-street parking, further definition of grid pattern, and
interdistricl circulalion. Maintain the function of Civic Center Drive,
and Tenth, Washington and Sevenleenth Streets as east/west
connectors by maintaining their current capacities.
.
Provide east/west pedestrian paths by extending Ninth,
Elevenlh, and Fourteenth Streets across the study area, per the
concept plan and plan principles.
. .
Chapter 10: Circulation
.
Discourage access to parking lots/structures from Civic Center
Drive, Washington and Seventeenth Streets.
Enhance traffic flow along Civic Center Drive, and Tenth,
Washington and Seventeenth Streets by not allowing on-street
parking.
.
Vehicular Circulation Plan
The potential measures to implement the principles have been
identified and are tisted above. The circulation plan for the Midtown
District is illustrated in Exhibit 45. Circulation Plan. The circulation
plan incorporates a majority of the measures listed above. Some of
the elements of the circulation plan as illustrated in Exhibit 46 are as
follows:
.
Several new pedestrian pathways were recommended.
Pedestrian safety, minimal pedestrian/vehicular interaction were
considered in the recommendation of Ihese pathways. Along
some pedes Irian palhways, vehicular traffic is limited 10
emergency and service vehicles only. Pedestrian crossings
across Main Street and Broadway were limited to .existing
signalized intersections.
No new traffic signals were recommended. Parking is
recommended 10 be removed along Main Street to enhance its
capacity for through traffic movement.
Access to the proposed parking structures was primarily
limited to local streets such as Bush, Sycamore, Birch, Eighth,
and Ninth Streets.
Several enhanced interseclions are planned throughout the
City of Santa Ana to improve traffic flow on the arterial system,
including Main Street and Seventeenth Street, Broadway and
Seventeenth Street, and Main Street and First Slreet.
Enhanced intersections are assumed to have as many as two
left-turn lanes. three through lanes, and one right-turn lane on
each approach to the intersection. The built environment may
affecl the extent to which an enhanced intersection is
developed.

Midtown Specific Plan
Midtown design elements that will be conditioned as developer
improvements on adjacent projects indude:
. Landscaping improvements.
. The extension of the Ninth, Eleventh, and Fourteenth Street
pedestrian connectors.
. The Seventeenth Street and Civic Center Drive comer features.
.
The urban plaza features at Washington and Tenth Street.
Meanwhile, City capital improvement funding will focus on
streetscape improvements. These include:
.
A parking and streetscape program on Main Street.
.
An identification banner program.
.
Entry treatments.
The implementation strategy includes phasing priorities that focus at
both ends of the Midtown area and work toward the middle:
Priority 1 - Direct stimulus to the revitalization of the
civiclprofessional district is to be provided through the
construction of a pubtic parking structure on the west side of
Sycamore south of the Ninth Street extension. As part of this
project, the extension of Ninth Street as a pedestrian corridor is
to be undertaken. The Main Street parking and streetscape
programs are also to be implemented. The provision of a new
parking in the CiviclProfessional district will provide a significant
attraction for new businesses, and eventually new construction.
Priority 2 - The construction of a new community shopping center
along the west side of Main Street between Washington Avenue
and 17th Street is to proceed. This project will require
considerable Community Development Agency involvement in
recruiting a developer and major tenants including a
supermarket. and providing assistance with land assembly. The
project will need to integrate the construction of a parking
structure to serve the needs of the new commercial
development. The existing financial instilutions also may be
retained and incorporated into the development plan so that
they function as key elements in the overall communily serving
project. The pedestrian connector shown in the plan along
Fourteenth Street also should be constructed as a central
pedestrian and entertainment corridor.
The deveiopment of a Midtown Business improvement district is
also necessary. This district is a mechanism for business in the
area to come together for marketing, self-promotion activities.
and business development similar to what is occurring in the
downtown area.
The City will explore using capitai funds, grants or other funding
sources to purchase undeveloped parcels on the west side of
Sycamore Street north of Tenth Street, which are c1itical to the
central open space resource of the plan. This area can be
developed into the proposed urban park.
Priority 3 - Construct Tenth Street to Washington Avenue parking
facilities together with the mid-block pedestrian connector along
Eleventh Street. Once additional parking is provided on the east
side of Sycamore Street, then action can be taken to develop
the central open space. The node around the church and the
three lots along the west side of Sycamore Street south of
Washington Avenue can be combined with the lots to the south
purchased during Priority 2 to complete the development of the
urban park. This priority also includes the construction of a
parking structure west of Broadway south of Tenth .Street with
vehicular access on Birch Street and pedestrian access to
Broadway.
IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX
The following matrix depicls the implementation program detailing the
priorities listed above under the headings of development and
parking, streetscape, open space and marketing. Projects are
organized and prioritized as short, mid or long-term. Generally,
short-term is within five years: mid-term is between five and 10 years,
and long-term is beyond 10 years. Activities and projects are
prioritized based upon their ability to stimulate new private
investment in Midtown.
The Implementation Program serves as a guide for allocating City
resources in Midtown as well as assisting in the direction of private
funding and capital outlay. As funds become available, projects
identified as short-term are to be given first priority and included in
the City's budgeting process. Private development interest may also
effect the allocation of public resources and project priorities if it is
determined that the private project promotes the goals and objectives
of the Specific Plan.
