LAND USE ELEMENT <br />As indicated in Table A -4, between 7(I$567H,66t-to 89.755 99748-housing units <br />are allowed by the Land Use Plan. The additional units which presently exist in <br />the City beyond the maximum number permitted under the theoretical buildout <br />scenario are a reflection of the higher density multiple - family developments <br />constructed in the 1970's and 1980's. However, the purpose ofthe Land Use Plan <br />as it applies to the residential areas is to preserve and maintain the stability of <br />existing neighborhoods, regardless ofthe character ofdevelopment. The intent of <br />the Plan is not to create any displacement, nor decrease existing development <br />densities. Rather, it is to ensure a safe, healthy, and livable environment for City <br />residents. Existing residential development entitlements are protected through <br />this Land Use Element, applicable Zoning regulations, and sections of the City <br />code pertaining to legal nonconforming uses. <br />The Land Use Element's implementation may result in an increase in the <br />amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City. As <br />indicated in Table A -4 up to 37,678,572 square feet of commercial and office <br />development, and 42,892,704 square feet of industrial development are possible <br />under the effective capacity parameters of Land Use Plan. <br />a -34 CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN <br />75A -43 <br />
