Adoption of this amendment will bring the City"s <br />General Plan into conformance with State Planning Law which <br />requires that general plans contain quantifiable standards o£ <br />building intensity for each land use designation. <br /> <br />The standards proposed establish intensity standards through'the <br />use of floor area ratios (FAR's). This system defines the <br />relationship between the floor area of a building and the area <br />of the lot which it is built; The floor area ratios proposed in <br />this amendment are based upon a calculation o£ the £1oor area <br />ratios of existing development in the City averaged in with <br />current development trends. <br /> <br />I, Janice C. Guy, Clerk of the Council, <br />City of Santa Ana, certify that this <br />document is the original copy of <br />GPA 88-2 adopted by Council on 2/21/89. <br /> <br />J~'~i-~/e C.
