L %11�4 <br />LAND USE ELEMENT <br />The City established development intensity standards in 1988, for nonresidential <br />land use designations. The 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 City proposed for the most intensive levels of development <br />include district centers, professional and administrative office districts, and several <br />other commercial centers with a unique character, or special development <br />concerns. Some of these areas correspond to those for which Specific Plans have <br />been prepared. <br />The proposed floor area ratio(s) for most of the City's commercial corridors <br />allows structures of two to three stories with surface parking. The major <br />development areas -the District Centers and ProfessionaVAdministrative Office <br />Districts along Tustin Avenue and East First Street -allow mid -rise and high -rise <br />buildings with structured parking. These areas are expected to generate the <br />highest level of development activity in the City as centers of commerce. These <br />areas are listed in Table A -2 and are shown in Exhibit A -4. The floor area ratios <br />indicated in Table A -2 are the maximum building intensity allowed for <br />development. <br />Table A -2 <br />Key Area- Floor Area Ratios <br />Area <br />Project /Area <br />MainPlace <br />City Place <br />North Main Street <br />FAR <br />1 <br />2.1 <br />2 <br />2.54 <br />3 <br />1.5 <br />4 <br />North Broadway <br />1.0 <br />5 <br />Museum District <br />1.5 <br />6 <br />Hutton Development <br />1.0 <br />7 <br />Civic Center Specific Development Plan <br />1.0 <br />8 <br />Midtown Specific Plan <br />0.5 -1.0 <br />9 <br />Civic Center <br />1.0 <br />10 <br />Downtown <br />3.0 <br />11 <br />Orange County Register <br />1.15 <br />12 <br />Xerox Center Development <br />3.29 <br />13 <br />First Street /Tustin Avenue <br />1.0 <br />14 <br />Bentall Center Development <br />1.5 <br />15 <br />2720 Hotel Terrace Drive <br />1.0 <br />16 <br />1951 East Camegie Avenue <br />0.55 <br />17 <br />4040 West Carriage Avenue <br />0.47 <br />18 <br />Lake Center Development <br />0.72 <br />19 <br />South Coast Metro <br />1.0 <br />20 <br />MacArthur Place North <br />2.0 <br />21 <br />MacArthur Place South <br />1.0 <br />22 <br />Pac Tel Office <br />1.5 <br />23 <br />Metro East <br />3.0 <br />24 <br />Transit Village <br />5.0 <br />25 <br />Town 8, Count Manor <br />1.27 <br />A -12 <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN <br />
