LOIo USE ELEMENT <br />interagency Development Review Committee (DRC) to enure cbnsistent and <br />comprehensive application of City regulations and politics for all projects. <br />Redevelopment Plans. The City will apply redevelopment tools associated <br />with the implementation of the adopted redevelopment plans, as appropriate. <br />The City will encourage'die further development of industrial, commercial, <br />and residential projects in suitable locations to strengthen the City's tax and <br />employment base. <br />0 Special Studies. In certain instances, a special study may be required to <br />address a particular issue. In these cases,, a specific effort to identify staff <br />resources needed to conduct the appropriate investigation and analysis will be <br />identified. <br />Zoning Code Review, The zoning code serves as a primary tool used by the <br />City to regulate development. The City will develop a program to revise the <br />Zoning Ordinance to ensure that development regulations and standards are <br />consistent with community needs and high quality development. The City <br />will initiate appropriate changes to the ordinance to ensure, where <br />appropriate, conformity between the Land Use Element and Zoning Map. <br />UP lollb'1AaOlk P111111Zdljll <br />As indicated previously, the City of Santa Ana has been almost completely <br />developed for many years. As a result, any new development will necessarily <br />consist of redevelopment and infill development on the remaining vacant and <br />underutilized parcels. Many parcels with nonresidential land use designations <br />will never be developed to the maximum intensity permitted under the General <br />Plan. <br />Table A-4 indicates the'development possible under the build -out of the Land <br />Use Plan. The build -aur for residential land uses considered two scenarios. <br />Effective build -out For residential development is calculated by adding the?31_,y56 <br />21-,2055 units possible in the areas designated as District Center and Urban <br />Neighborhood to die existing 74,588 units presently found in the City per Census <br />2000. Theoretical build -out for residential development considered the <br />development possible if all ofthe areas designated as residential were developed <br />according to the permitted Land Use Plan intensities. Since the Land Use <br />Element does not contemplate the elimination of existing'housing in the City, the <br />effective build -out figure represents a more realistic estimate of futu re residential <br />development. <br />As indicated in TableA-4, threeofrhe non-residential land use designations have <br />a range in FAR intensities. For the non-residential land use designations, effective <br />build -out considered the development possible under the lower range of PAR <br />intensities while theoretical build -out considered the upper FAR range. Typically, <br />parking and landscaping requirements will result in significantly less flour area ' <br />CITY OP SANTAANA GENERAL PLAN A-33 <br />Resolution No. 2017-079 <br />Page 13 of 15 <br />
