number and shown on the Boundary Map in the Modified Management District Plan and are listed in Attachment 1 to <br />this Report. The boundaries of the Modified Downtown Santa Ana CMD are generally bounded by Santa Ana <br />Boulevard /Fifth Street on the north, Spurgeon/Mortimer /French Streets on the east, Walnut /First Streets on the south <br />and Birch /Ross Streets on the west. The modified boundaries are described in more specific detail in the Management <br />District Plan. There is one Benefit Zone within the Modified Downtown Santa Ana CMD. <br />All parcels within the above - described modified boundaries, except as noted, shall be assessed to fund special benefit <br />services, programs and improvements as outlined in this report. CMD funded programs will only be provided to <br />properties inside the modified District boundaries — none outside. <br />Modified Analysis <br />In May 2011, the CMD Property Owner's Association (Downtown Inc.) requested the City of Santa Ana City <br />Council to modify the CMD boundaries for Years 3, 4 and 5 of the 5 year CMD term by deleting areas to the west, <br />north and east of the original CMD boundaries. The primary reason for this reduction is to concentrate CMD services <br />and programs on a more focused area for maximum service efficiency, optimized use of resources and greatest <br />program benefits provided. The areas from the original CMD to be deleted within the modified CMD boundaries are <br />described and analyzed as to the impact of their deletion as follows: <br />A. West of Ross — this area is comprised exclusively of the multi jurisdictional government center and mid to <br />high rise office towers. There is very little non - office commercial land use within this area. It is noted that <br />none of the government properties /buildings within this area were assessed due to the government <br />owned /occupied exclusion policy. While still important to the mixed use nature of greater Downtown Santa <br />Ana, deletion of this area will definitely not materially affect the integral Downtown commercial fabric and <br />ability of the CMD to fund and provide beneficial programs and services to the core Downtown business <br />center located within the modified CMD boundaries. <br />B. North of Santa Ana Boulevard — this area is comprised of various land uses including government, <br />institutional (churches), office, service and fast food restaurants. This area centered around Civic Center <br />Drive and Main Street represents a transitional zone of mixed commercial and cultural uses quite prevalent <br />along the Mid- Broadway /Main Street corridors north to the 5 Freeway. While still important to the mixed <br />use nature of greater Downtown Santa Ana, deletion of this area will not materially affect the integral <br />Downtown commercial fabric and ability of the CMD to fund and provide beneficial programs and services <br />to the core Downtown business center located within the modified CMD boundaries. <br />C. East of Spurgeon Street — North of Fifth Street — this area is comprised primarily of high density <br />residential in the form of whole and half block apartment buildings. There are also six transitional parcels <br />with uses ranging from service commercial to single family residential to vacant lots and /or abandoned <br />structures. The most likely highest and best use of these transitional parcels would be medium to higher <br />density residential development. Deletion of this area will definitely not materially affect the ability of the <br />5 <br />
