LAND USE ELEMENT <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN A-11 <br />LAND USE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION <br />To effectively achieve the broad range of goals outlined for the City ’s future <br />growth and development, a variety of plans, programs, and regulations must be <br />relied upon. This section of the Element discusses these tools, and how they <br />correlate with implementation of the City’s land use goals. <br />DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY STANDARDS <br />Table A-1 summarizes the development intensity standard for each of the General <br />Plan designations, and provides land use distribution by acreage for the land use. <br />The intensity standards for the categories permitting residential development are <br />expressed in density, measured in “units per acre,” or floor area ratio and zoning <br />development standards in the case of certain Mixed Use land use designations. <br />The intensity standards for non-residential development are expressed as “floor <br />area ratio” or FAR. The FAR concept is illustrated in Exhibit A-3. The intensity <br />standards in concert with the zoning and development standards regulate the <br />massing, form and building size. <br />Table A-1 <br />Development Intensity Standards <br />Land Use Density/Intensity Standards <br />Residential Land Use Designations <br />Low Density 7 du/acre <br />Low-Medium Density 11 du/acre <br />Medium Density 15 du/acre <br />Mixed Use Land Use Designations <br />District Center <br /> Other District Centers (Midtown, etc.) 90 du/acre and FAR 1.0-2.0 <br /> Heritage District Center FAR 1.7 <br /> Downtown District Center FAR 3.0 <br /> Metro East District Center FAR 3.0 <br /> Transit Village District Center FAR 5.0 <br /> Harbor Corridor District Center FAR 5.0 <br />Urban Neighborhood <br /> Transit Zoning Code Area/ First & 17th Street Corridor FAR 0.5-1.5 <br /> Harbor Corridor FAR 3.0 <br />Commercial Land Use Designations <br />Professional/Admin.
