While the Transit Zoning Code is primarily intended to regulate development on <br /> private property, one of its chief objectives is to ensure proper integration of private development with <br /> public transit. To that end, the criteria for strategic siting of bus/transit stops suggested by OCTA in <br /> Comment OCTA-5 `will be incorporated into the Street Network Concepts Guidelines section of the <br /> <br /> Transit Zoning Code in order to facilitate the placement of future bus/transit stops. This comment does <br /> not address environmental issues or the content or adequacy of the Draft EIR. No addirional response is <br /> required. <br /> 12-18 City of Santa Ana Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) EIR <br /> <br />
