LAND USE ELEMENT Residential The Land Use Plan provides for three distinct residential land use designations. Residential development is also permitted in two other designations: District Center and Urban Neighborhood. The Santa Ana Land Use Plan includes the following residential land use designations: The Low Density Residential (LR -7) designation applies to those areas of the City which are developed with lower density residential land uses. The allowable maximum development intensity is 7 units per acre. Development in this category is characterized primarily by single-family homes. This designation applies to a large proportion of the City (6;1-57:76,460.9 acres) representing 47 percent of the City's total land area. The Low -Medium Density Residential (LMR -11) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at permitted densities of up to I 1 units per acre. The land area included in this designation is approximately 420.6 acres. The great majority of the land designated as Low -Medium Density Residential is located in the westerly portion of the City, north and south of First Street. Properties with this designation are typically characterized by mobile home parks, a mixture of duplexes and single family residences, or small lot subdivisions. The Medium Density Residential (1VIR-15) designation applies to those sections of the City which are developed with residential uses at densities of up to 15 units per acre. Development in this designation is characterized by duplexes, apartments, or a combination of both. A total of 370.1 acres is designated as Medium Density Residential. The designation applies to areas located in the vicinity of downtown, areas north and south of MacArthur Boulevard, and in other areas where there are established multiple -family development projects. r -.;L .
