AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA PART I I. Boundary The boundary of the project area as it exists and as it is proposed to be amended is shown on the attached map marked Exhibit "A" and the description Exhibit "B", both of which' are, by this reference, incorporated herein. General Statement The land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities, and building intensities and standards which are proposed as the basis for the redevelopment of the project area as amended are as follows: A. Land Uses 1. Residential - including single family, limited multiple family, high density multiple family, and multi-story apartment developments. Professional - including all uses allowed in the residential districts and restricted to the pro- fessions such as accountants, attorneys, physicians, engineers, architects, insurance and real estate brokers, business offices (excluding the sale qf merchandise), hospital and clinics. 2. 3. Civic Development - including official and public uses of property and related activities such as civic center buildings, auditoriums, similar public structures, professional uses and accessory commercial uses in conjunction with and secondary or incidental to professional uses.

B. Principal Streets The layout of principal streets is indicated on the attached map labelled Exhibit "A". All street rights "EXHIBIT A" .e. . . . . ,.-.... . C. of way within the Amended Project Area are subject to change; however, the adopted General Plan of the City of Santa Ana and Specific Plan Street Alignments indicate that the following streets within the area are subject to additional widening or realignment: 1. Flower Street 2. Ross Street 3. Broadway 4. Main Street S. Mortimer Street 6. Civic Center Drive West 7. Civic Center Drive East 8. Santa Ana Boulevard 9. First Street 10. Fifth Street 11. Memory Lane/Owens 12. SeventeenthStreet 13, Buffalo Street Population Densities The population densities proposed are as follows: 1. Medium density residential - 8.1 to 15 dwelling units per acre. D. High density residential - 15.1 (plus) dwelling units per acre. Building Intensities 2. It is proposed that all residential, professional, civic development and commercial and other permitted uses throu~hout the Project Area as amended shall meet the minimum standards as required by the City of Santa Ana Zoning Ordinance (S.A.M.C. Chapter 41). Site development requirements are proposed to be incorporated into the plan to insure high standards of urban development. Open space provisions will also be part of the plan. E. Standards Minimum standards for the Project Area as amended in- clude accepted standards for street layout and design, land subdivision, and the construction of buildings meeting the requirements of local codes and regulations and the purposes of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California. Minimum standards of performance with respect to the emission of nuisance elements, such as noise, air pollution, vibration, odor, etc. are proposed to be established in the area. 2. . . . . . '. III. '8 8' Attainment of the Purposes of the Act The objectives of the Act, among others, are the remedying of conditions of blights, deterioration and obsolescense. The Agency will seek to attain such objectives by all means authorized by law, including where feasible, but not limited to, the following activities: A. The development of a regional shopping center complete with public/private parking facilities. B. The improvement of substandard and deteriorating housing and obsolete and deteriorating non-residential buildings. Rehabilitation of buildings, upgrading them to modern standards of safety and design. C. D. Providing land suitable for reuse for new buildings, parking and other necessary facilities in accordance with modern standards, thereby reversing the decline in social, physical and economic conditions in the Project Area as amended. E. Physical improvements of the major north-south arterials to improve access between freeways and the central core at the downtown area; and to improve traffic circulation and access to the original Project Area. Creating a concept of urban development within the Project Area as amended which will assure that the close identity of the original project area and the area to be added will be used to create a single integrated economic and use area under redevelop- ment. F. G, The facilitation of the relocation of persons dis- placed from the original as well as the amended pro- ject area while minimizing any economic, social or cul- tural disruption attendant thereto. The provisoin of additional opportunities for partici- pation in the redevelopment of the Project Area as amended by residential and business owners and tenants than are presently available. H. The proposed d~velopment should go far in stimulating additional private development in the downtown area, thus establishing Santa Ana as the focal point of the inland Orange County area. IV. Conformance with the General Plan The proposed redevelopment of the project area conforms to the General Plan of the City of Santa Ana, California. 3. . )A. . . ~ . (See Planning commission Resolution No. 5762, 'December 14,' 1965 (Technical Workbook Nos. 1-4) and Resolution No. 5790, October 24, 1966 (Technical Workbook No.5); and City Council Resolution No. 66-30 on February 21, 1966 (Technical Work- book Nos. 1-4) and Resolution No. 66-153 on November 21, 1966 (Technical Workbook No, 5). B. The General Plan of the City designates the area within the amended project boundary as urban land use composed of residential, commercial and related public and quasi- public facilities. The General Plan establishes a range of housing densi- ties and development standards. The Plan reflects the physical form of the area, and the social and economic . forces which affect the pattern of residential develop- ment. The Plan establishes principles which will en- courage better neighborhood design and construction of large scale planned residential development. C. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to provide sufficient land area within the amended Project Area of appropriate types of commercial development property located and served by good access to meet the shopping, commercial and professional needs of the entire Project Area as amended. D. The General Plan provides for the required commUnity facilities to serve the area within the amended Project Area, City and region. E. The General Plan proposes an adequate traffic circulation system in and around the amended Project Area to provide for the efficient and safe movement of people and goods. The General Plan establishes width and improvement standards to be followed in the development of circula- tion facilities. V. Impact of the Project upon Residents and upon the surroundin~ Area The City's primary effort is one to improve, renew and return to prominence the central commercial core area of the City to the stature it once held. . The need for the City to make a substantial investment through redevelopment efforts cannot be overemphasized, as this could very well be the catalyst which would precipitate private investment in the Project Area. Proposed project site improvements of this nature include street and utility improvements, installation of needed water, sewer and storm drain facilities, implementation of a vehicular and pedestrian 4. .' . . . . ~ . circulation plan, and acquisition and development of adequate open space and park facilities. The City's primary effort is to create, in harmony with private developers, a regional shopping center that will stop the egress of major retail stores out of the City, including portions of the City located in both the original Project Area and the proposed amended Project Area. The City's secondary effort is to improve major north-south access such as Broadway, Main and Bush to allow a direct and easily accessible connection between the regional center and the downtonw core. Further, this amendment will spur the development of the surrounding area and generate a renewed interest in Santa Ana by developers and major tenants. proposed public site improvements will include street and utility improvements, installation of any needed water, sewer, and storm drain facilities, implementation of a vehicular and pedestrian circulation plan, acquisition and development of adequate open space and park facilities and development of off-street parking facilities. The Agency may acquire property in the area to carry out the intent of this amendment: however, it is anticipated that the majority of land acquisition and assemblage will be accomplished by the private market. Displacement of residents as well as businesses may be neces- ' sary. However, maximum opportunity to return to the same neighborhoods will be provided. Relocation assistance for residential displacement and businesses will be provided and relocation grants and moving expenses will be made. This amendment, whether or not it results in the development of a major shopping center, will be of tremendous importance to the economic life of Santa Ana. It will strengthen the central core area (the original project area) by revitalizing the economy of the entire amended project area and by providing the public facilities and improvements necessary for such revitalizing. It will directly relate to the social and economic well being of each of the citizens of Santa Ana. Relevant tangible factors of this proposed amended project include: A. Real Estate Tax Revenue A prime contribution to a community's real property tax base is derived from the increased economic value of 5. . . ~ . B. the redeveloped business district's physical improvements. Retail Sales Tax Revenue The City's share of increased sale~ tax will represent a major benefit to the City. A strong and active re- tail area will substantially enhance the City's income and lessen the need to raise property taxes. C. City Service Expenditures The stronger the project area, the less demand the area places on the community for a disproportionate share of City services. Among the intangible factors which are difficult to measure in terms of "actual dollar value" are the benefits received by the community exemplified by: A. C. D. E. . F. . B. Increased employment generated by commercial developments in the project. The creation of an area of which the community can be proud. A general.upgrading of the social and cultural attributes of the area. The preservation and enhancement of a positive environment for the area which will enhance community identity for prospective commercial uses, business visitors and new residents. The prevention of future severe blight not currently in evidence and the inherent negative development in- fluences. The retention, within the City, of major retail tenants. 6.
