LAND USE ELEMENT <br />the City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout <br />scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple -family developments <br />constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. However, the purpose of the Land Use Plan <br />as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of <br />existing neighborhoods, regardless of the character of development. The intent of <br />the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development <br />densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City <br />residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through <br />this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City <br />code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses. <br />The Land Use Element's implementation may result in an increase in the <br />amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As <br />indicated in Table A-4, up to 3� 898,40731,763,628 square feet o£commercial and <br />office, and 42,199,991 square feet ofindustrial development are possible under the <br />effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan. <br />A_34 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN <br />
