INTRODUCTION <br /> <br /> An important objective of the General Plan for the City <br />of Santa Ana is to improve the appearance of physical develop- <br />ments in the City and the enactment of policies and regulations <br />that would encourage the highest standard of amenity in the <br />development of streets, buildings, open spaces and other private <br />and public linkages and facilities throughout the City. <br /> <br /> Amendments to the California Government Code requiring that <br />a Scenic Highway Element be included in the General Plans of all <br />California cities and counties were approved by California <br />Legislature in 1972. Section 65302(h) of the California <br />Government Code states: <br /> <br /> "The General Plan shall include a Scenic Highway Element <br /> for the development and protection of Scenic Highways <br /> pursuant to the provisions of Article 2.5 (commencing <br /> with Section 260 of Chapter 2 of Division 1) of the <br /> <br />Streets and Highways Code." <br /> <br /> Intent and Purpose <br /> <br /> The emphasis of the Scenic Highway Element, as provided <br />by State of California guidelines, is the designation of <br />"Official State Scenic Highways" as enumerated in Section 260 <br /> <br /> <br />
