FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Various sections of Chapter 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC) have been revised periodically over the last several years to respond
to changes in development, to adopt new permitting procedures, and to
comply with changes to State and Federal laws. In a continuing effort to
establish high -quality development standards and to create a user-friendly
environment for residents and the business community within the City, the
Planning Division is proposing revisions to various sections of Chapter 41
(Zoning) of the SAMC specifically found in the Transit Zoning Code (Specific
Development No. 84).
B. After a thorough analysis of the current code requirements in the City, staff
identified several sections of the code for amendments necessary to ensure
clear, uniform, and legally consistent regulations that are practical for the City
and developers to implement through high -quality and safe building designs.
The proposed amendments will enable the City to implement a regulatory
framework that protects the health, safety and welfare of the City and limits
undue strain on homeowners, business operators and developers.
C. At its adjourned regular meeting on May 14, 2019, the Planning Commission
held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City
Council adopt Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2019-03.

T R A N S I T Z O N I N G C O D E : Regulating Plan and Zones Established
Division 2.
Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established
(a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones applied to property within the plan
area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into
separate zones that are based on a transact of intensity within the plan area
Bud ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the
least urban types, with most zones providing far a significant mixture of land
uses within them.
This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically cavort cities
into zones that rigidly segregate residentla( commercial, industrial, and Institu-
tional uses into separate areas, and thereby require resldents to drive for nearly
all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead
of land use :oats) as the spatial basis for regulating development directly
reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan
area. The zones also effectively Implement the 01y's urban design objectives
for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain ahradlve distinctions
between each zone. This Is why some parcels are zoned with more than one
nine. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the
middle of a bock
The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types,
and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for
building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right identifies the
9 zones applied within the plan area as they relate to existing rigMs-of-way
and parcels
(b) Zones established. The following zonesare applicable to this specific plan, and
applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan.
(1) Transit Village (TV) Zone.
The Transit village zone is Intended to provide standards for compact transit -
supportive mixed-use/residential development This zone is characterized by a
wide range of building intensity, Including mixed -use tower -on -podium build-
ings, flex blocks, linen, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accom-
modates retail restaurant entertainment and other pedestrian -oriented uses
at street level, with offices and flats above in the mixed-Dse building types at
high Intensifies and densitles The landscape palette is urban, with shading
and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Ana Boulevard, and in
sidewalk tree wells where on -street parking is provided. Parking is acco riZ
dated on -street, in structures with finer buildings and underground.

sidewalk hem wells, and in landscaped public plazas.
(3) Downtown (DT) Zone.
This zone Is applied to the historical shopping district of Santa Ana, a vitat
pedestrlanodented area that Is defined by multi -story urban building types
(flex blocks, the -work stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing in the
Downtown edges) accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service,
and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the
form and character represented by pre -World War It buildings and recognized
as a National Historic District through restoration, rehabilitation, and context -
sensitive infill. The standards also facilitate the replacement ar improve-
ment of post-war development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of
various downtown blocks (for example, parking structures with no features of
pedestrian Interest along their entire lengths). The landscape style is urban,
emphasizing shading and accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking
is accommodated on -street and may also be in structures with liner buildings,
underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from sheets.
(4) Urban Center (LIQ Zone
This zone is applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves
as a transitional area to the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and
to other areas where mixed -use and multiisnit residential buildings create a
