LAND USE ELEMENT <br />The City established development intensity standards in 1988, for nonresidential <br />land use designations. "I'he standards measure intensity through the use of floor <br />area ratios. The floor area ratios proposed for the City's major commercial <br />corridors are expected to remain in place over the life of the Land Use Element. <br />The basic character of these corridors is not expected to change significantly <br />during that time. <br />Those areas of the Ciry proposed for the most intensive levels of development <br />include district centers, professional and administrative ofl7cc districts, srnd several <br />other commercial centers with a uniyuc character, or special development <br />concerns. Some ofthese areas correspond to those For v,~hich Specific Plans have <br />been prepared. <br />The proposed floor area r_itio(s) for most of the City's commercial corridors <br />allows structures of tk~o to three stories with surface parking. 'l~he major <br />development areas-the District CGenters and Pro fessional/Administrative Office <br />Districts along 'lustin Avenue and East First Street-allow mid-rise and high-rise <br />buildings with structured parking. "These areas arc expected to generate the <br />highest level of development activity in the Cicy as centers of commerce. These <br />areas are listed in "fable A-2 and are shown in Exhibit A-4. The floor area ratios <br />indicated in "fable A-2 are the maximum building intensity allowed for <br />dcvebpment. <br />Table A-2 <br />Kev Area- Floor Area Ratios <br />1 ~, <br />::.. <br />J ~ _,._, ,~._ ...., <br />__- ~ <br />Area Pro ect/Area FAR <br />1 MainPlace ?•1 <br />2 C~ Plat 2.54 <br />3 North Main Street _ _ 1.5 <br />_ <br />4 North Broadwa 1.0 <br />5 Museum District 1-5 <br />-- <br />_6 __ _ <br />7 <br />Hutton Deve_fo_pment ___ <br />Civic Center S ecific Develo meM Plan <br />_ ____1- _____ <br />1 .0 <br />_ <br />8 <br />9 Midtown Specific Plan <br />Civic Center 0.5-1.0 <br />1.0 <br />10 Downtown <br />11 Oran a County Re -i~5tar_ _ _ __ 1.15 __ _ <br />12 Xerox Center Develo ment 3.29 <br />_ <br />13 First StreetlTusfln Avenue 1.0 <br />14 Berrtall Center Develo ment 1.5 <br />15 2720 Hotel Tertace Drive 1.0 _ <br />16 _ <br />1951 East Carnegie Avenue 0.55 <br />17 4040 West Carria a Avenue 0.47 <br />18 Lake Center Develo ment ___ _ __ 0.72 <br />___ <br />19 South Coast Metro ___ 1.0 <br />20 MacArthur Place North 2.0 <br />21 klattea-6erKre MacArthur Place South ________ 1.0 <br />__ <br />22 Pac Tel Office 1 5 <br />23 Metro East 3.0 <br />~4 T Vi I - <br />A-1 2 <br />Page 55 of 107 <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN <br />
