State Revolving Fund - General Application (D },,' Section VI. SUSTAINABILITY Attachment G1: Since Santa Ana is a predominantly built -out city, it will become chaIlengingto find areas that can accommodate new housing or other developments for future residents. The projections associated with the Land Use Element reflect that the City's population may decrease slightly in the near term but will increase overtime. As housing demand increases and available land becomes more limited, it is anticipated that there will be an increasing trend toward higher- density residential development. The information below is excerpted from the City's General Plan. REDEVELOPMENT PLANS Prior to the elimination of Redevelopment Agencies in California in 2011, an estimated 5,185 acres (8.1 square miles) of land in Santa Ana was included in one Merged Project Area. Prior to August 2004, the Project Area was divided into six separate redevelopment project areas as described below. Of this total, 9 percent (464 acres) is in residential use, 32 percent (1,678 acres) commercial, 40 percent (2,075 acres) industrial, with other uses accounting for the remaining 19 percent (968 acres). The following six redevelopment plans have been adopted. • Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan. This plan, which encompassed 694 acres, was adopted in 1973 to revitalize the downtown area, improve traffic circulation, reestablish business, and stimulate private investment. • North Harbor Boulevard Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1.982, the Plan covered 470 acres along Harbor Boulevard. The Plan for this area was adopted to define future development, and create design standards for new development in the area. • Inner -City Commuter Station Redevelopment Plan. This plan, also adopted in 1982, focused in approximately 525 acres designed to provide for the development of a commuter rail station and to promote supporting uses. • South Main Street Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1982, the plan applied to 1,500 acres in one of the primary commercial and industrial districts of the City. • South Harbor Boulevard /Fairview Street Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1982, this 1,085 acre plan covered a key industrial area in the vicinity of Harbor Boulevard and Fairview Street. • Bristol Corridor Redevelopment Plan. Adopted in 1989, the plan promoted the redevelopment of a 781 -acre area along the Bristol Street corridor of the City. The locations of the previously existing redevelopment project areas are shown in the map below. Page 5 of 12 EXHIBIT 5 55B -28
