10 • The City is currently in the process of drafting a Pedestrian Master Plan and updating its existing Bicycle Master Plan. Combined, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan outlines and prioritizes future active transportation improvements. • The Transit Zoning Code, adopted in June of 2010, provided new zoning for over 400 acres in Santa Ana's downtown core. The new zoning supports compact develop- ment that is transit - friendly and allows for a mix of uses that will place housing closer to transit and jobs. The first proj- ects developed under the new zoning will create over 120 units of new infill develop- ment within a 1 -mile radius of the SARTC. This new housing represents a range of high - quality, compact development from row housing to courtyard -style apart- ments. Many of these new units will be marketed as affordable housing. Other areas allowing mixed use and higher density near transit include the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone east of the SARTC. The Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan allows for 2,000 new residential units and mixed Table 1.1: SCE Program Impacts Program Name SCE Small and Medium Business Direct Install Residential Energy Efficiency Kits Energy Star Qualified Refrigerator Rebates Residential Lamp Exchange LED Holiday Light Exchange Residential CFL Bulbs Giveaway Elementary School Living Wise Program Total 1 Introduction units along a Bus Rapid Transit line and adjacent to the proposed Garden Grove/ Santa Ana Fixed Guideway. The General Plan Land Use Element designates a total of seven areas of the City as mixed use District Centers. District centers are to be developed to provide shopping, business, cultural, education, recreation, entertain- ment, and housing opportunities, and the most intense development in the City is targeted to those areas. Energy Many building efficiency M measures have been brought about through a successful partnership with Southern California Edison (SCE) business and residential programs. The actions that have been employed are diverse depending on the specific program, but because these have been carried out through the utility partnership, reliable estimates of energy savings are available. The total reduction resulting from these programs is estimated at 7,517 MTCOZe/ year. Table 1.1 contains a summary of these actions along with the associated emissions reduction for each.
