LAND USE ELEMENT <br />As indicated in Table A -4, between 72,255 q4,4�56 to 91,481 4,44§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 of the 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 of development. 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 33,678,013 47-,6-7 0 i square feet of commercial and <br />office development, and 42,199,991 4,—square feet of industrial <br />development are possible under the effective capacity parameters of Land Use <br />Plan. <br />A -34 75B -41 <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN <br />
