with existing development in the area. Both sites in the
<br />development have been carefully designed to be integrated
<br />within the existing development pattern in Downtown Santa
<br />Ana.
<br />Economic Development Element Goal 2 maintains and
<br />enhances the diversity of the City's economic base. Policy
<br />2.3 encourages the development of mutually beneficial and
<br />supportive business clusters within the community. The
<br />construction of this project will contribute toward an
<br />economically balanced community by providing housing and
<br />commercial retail opportunities (e.g., restaurant, retail sales,
<br />etc.) for different demographics in an area rich with
<br />employment opportunities, commercial development, and
<br />market -rate housing. In addition, a fiscal and economic
<br />impact analysis estimates that the proposed development
<br />will result net positive fiscal impacts to the City, the Business
<br />Improvement District, and over 800 new temporary or
<br />permanent jobs. Specifically, the analysis estimates $5.4
<br />million net new General Fund revenues associated with the
<br />project over a 25-year period.
<br />Urban Design Element Goal 1 improves the physical
<br />appearance of the City through development of districts that
<br />project a sense of place, positive community image and
<br />quality environment. Specifically, Policy 1.5 enhances
<br />architectural forms, textures, colors, and materials for all
<br />projects. The project's storefront widths, window heights,
<br />setbacks, and other architectural features have been
<br />carefully evaluated to ensure a seamless transition from
<br />existing buildings to the new project. Each site has its own
<br />unique architectural vernacular defined by scale, facade
<br />articulation, roof forms, materials, and detailing. Both of
<br />these blocks are designed in closely related and established
<br />California Contemporary architectural style, which
<br />complements the neighborhood in which the project site is
<br />located.
