The proposed vesting map creates condominium subdivisions for each housing type. The condominium subdivision is necessary to provide the for-sale units. This encourages home ownership (Exhibit 7). The vesting nature of the map ensures that the standards to be applied to the project will be those adopted with the approval of the map. The map is designed to be in compliance with the applicable development standards found in Chapter 34 and the Specific Development document. Site Plan Review Santa Ana Municipal code requires a review by Planning Commission of all plans within a specific development area to ensure the project is in conformity with the specific development standards. The review also ensures that the buildings, structures and grounds are in keeping with the neighborhood and will not be detrimental to the development of the specific development zone. The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable development standards including the General Plan, Municipal Code and the City Place Specific Development Plan (SD-59), as amended. Additionally, the proposal is in keeping with the surrounding area and will improve the desirability of investment in the City. Finally, the project has been determined to be in compliance with applicable parking, landscaping and architectural provisions governing the project. The residential tower development project will enhance and provide a positive improvement to the north Main Street district though the development of a significant vacant parcel of land within the City Place development. The development of this site with high quality design, materials and finishes, the inclusion of a fountain, a ground level lobby and residential units, and the creation of a physical and visual link within City Place will help in energizing and strengthening this northern gateway area. The project will reinforce an active, vibrant urban lifestyle envisioned within the District Center designation of the General Plan. Additionally, the project will be of direct benefit to the community by providing additional housing opportunities in the City. The 75A-12
