population projections of the Southern California Association of Governments, the Orange County Forecast and Analysis Centez and the Orange County General Plan of Land Use for 1983. There is a distinction between an allocation and a policy limitation of population that does not make these two figures inha~nonious. The allocation model does show that the gro~rth policy should be achievable by the City of Santa Ana. Ho_ nsing and Co~nunity Development Plan The Housing and Cam.unity Development Plan and Housing Assistance Plan required by the provisions of the 1974 Housing and Commmity Development Act for receipt o£ entitlements used the definitions of the 1970 census, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the criteria and definitions used in the preparation of this Housing P. lement. The following analysis pro- ceeds through the major points of the three-year plan, the Housing Assistance Plan, the survey questionnaire and, finally, the citizen input element. H/CD Three-Year Plan: Basically, the text, findings and recuJi~,enda- tions are in conformance with the Housing Element. The Central Corridor Area referenced by this document conforms to the programs of senior citizen housing, redevelopment activity, development of detailed neighborhood plans, acquisition, clearance, packaging, demolition and relocation programs pro- posed. The Central Corridor Area did represent the bulk of the City's de~ teriorated and substandard areas. However, the bulk 'of the activity is pro- posed for the Redevelopment Project Area, ~hile the worst Central Corridor Target Areas are found in the eastern sector of the downtown area (First Street and Grand Avenue and the Logan Area). The programs do, however, address numerically the bulk of Central Corridor substandard units. The special emphasis on public improvements for the area west of the Santa Aha River appears justified as long as the installation of stom drains is aggressively followed by the installation and upgrading of streets, curbs and gutters, street lights, street trees and other public facilities. The program of code enforcement and rehabilitation must be simultaneously pursued to ensure upgrading of the physical housing units themselves, as the installation of public wnrks does not guarantee a multiplier or "cloud- seeding" effect upon the substandard condition of the housing stock. The ~ater system project proposed for the area west of Greenville Street to King Street between F. dinger on the north and St. Andrew Street on the south is an area designated by this El~nent as a Potential Problem Area. The area has some severely depressed pockets within its boundaries; 000029
