Environmental Setting <br />4.3.3 Local Planning Considerations <br />General Plan and Zoning <br />Zoning Designations <br />Adopted in 1992, the North Harbor Specific Plan (NHSP) planned for approximately 345 residential units <br />and five million square feet of commercial uses on 425 acres. Under the NHSP, land within the project area <br />falls under seven specific plan zoning districts: General Commercial, Recreational Vehicle /Automotive, <br />Entertainment, Industrial, Open Space, Single Family Residential, and Townhomes. Table 4 -1 summarizes the <br />land use acreage under the NHSP. The existing zoning designations for the project area are shown in Figure <br />41, Current Zoning Designations. <br />Table 4 -1 North Harbor Specific Plan Land Use Summary <br />Land Use <br />Acreage <br />General Commercial <br />156.0 <br />Recreational Vehicle /Automotive <br />34.4 <br />Entertainment <br />17.0 <br />Industrial <br />25.9 <br />Open Space <br />104.6 <br />Single Family Residence <br />29.5 <br />Town House <br />9.2 <br />Right -of -Way <br />48.0 <br />TOTAL <br />424.6 <br />General Plan Land Use Designations <br />General Plan designations for the project area include: Low Density Residential (I.R -7), Low Medium Density <br />Residential (I.MR -11), Medium Density Residential (MR 15), General Commercial (GC), Industrial (IND), <br />and Open Space (0).

The <br />largest exceptions are the Willowick Golf Course, which is designated for Open Space uses, and the <br />northeastern portion of the area along Westminster Avenue, which is designated for Office uses. <br />The Santa Ana General Plan also discusses the NHSP and its application to the project area. It states that the <br />NHSP was intended to promote commercial development along Harbor Boulevard while minimizing land use <br />incompatibilities. <br />4.4 ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING CUMULATIVE IMPACTS <br />Section 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines states that cumulative impacts shall be discussed where they are <br />significant.
