STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES <br /> The updated General Plan is based on a vision statement and core values established as part of <br /> an extensive, multiyear community outreach effort. The City has identified the following core <br /> values to guide the General Plan Update (GPU): <br /> ■ Health. The people of Santa Ana value a physical environment that encourages healthy <br /> lifestyles, a planning process that ensures that health impacts are considered, and a <br /> community that actively pursues policies and practices that improve the health of our <br /> residents. <br /> ■ Equity. Residents value taking all necessary steps to ensure equitable outcomes, expanding <br /> access to the tools and resources that residents need, and balancing competing interests in <br /> an open and democratic manner. <br /> ■ Sustainability. Santa Ana values land use decisions that benefit future generations, plans for <br /> the impacts of climate change, and incorporates sustainable design practices at all levels of <br /> the planning process. <br /> ■ Culture.The Santa Ana's community values efforts that celebrate our differences as a source <br /> of strength, preserve and build upon existing cultural resources, and nurture a citywide culture <br /> of empowered residents. <br /> ■ Education. Santa Ana values the creation of lifelong learners, the importance of opening up <br /> educational opportunities to all residents, and investing in educational programs that advance <br /> residents' economic well-being. <br /> These core values were used as the basis to define more specific project objectives to aid decision <br /> makers in their review of the GPU and associated environmental impacts. The objectives include: <br /> 1_ Promote infill development while respecting and protecting established neighborhoods. <br /> 2. Optimize high density residential and mixed-use development that maximizes potential use of <br /> mass transit. <br /> 3_ Provide locations for new housing development that maximizes affordable housing <br /> opportunities to achieve both City and regional housing goals. <br /> 4. Facilitate new development at intensities sufficient to generate community benefits and attract <br /> economic activity. <br /> Santa Ana General Plan Update <br /> CE 5T ac an Statement 32 — 40 2 <br /> Of ri ing onsiderations -17- 61 /Rer�0 2 1 <br />
