The City of S:nta Ama nas a downtown that is in need of revitaliza-
tion. The Ci:y Council declared the need for improvement to the
downtown area in December 1972, and :a January 1973 a Community
Redevelopment Agency was formed. The State of California Redevelop-
ment Law will enable our City to bring about needed improvements
without raising taxes. New construction in 'the Project Area will
help provide fun4s from existing property taxes for public improve-
ment.
In the implementation of the Community Redevelopment Laws, the City
Council has made it clear that all persons that have questions
and/or concerns regarding any aspect of the redevelopment process
will be given prompt, courteous and complete information. To ensure
that all persons that have a legitimate interest in Santa Ana's
Redevelopment Project can be heard the City Council has appointed
a Community Redevelopment Commission and a Project Area Committee.
These two groups hold regular public meetings. All interested per-
sons are invited to attend.
The objectives of the Santa Aha Redevelopment Project are to
improve the cultural, aesthetic and economic environments of the
City of Santa Ana. By providing much needed public improvement~
such as street widenings to improve tra£fic circulation, needed
parking, pedestrian walkways, and site improvements such as water,
sewer, storm drains and street lighting, new business and residential
deyelopment will be encouraged to expand and improve. The increased
quality of business and residential development will thereby bring
additional tax dollars to provide improved public service prog?ams
such as parks, recreation, open space acquisition, cultural programs,
public safety programs and other desired activities.
The objectives o£ the City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Project are
to be accomplished by providing assistance to existing peope?ty
owners in the Project Area, existing businesses in the Project Area,
existing residents in the Project Area and to other peesens and geeups
that desire to become a part o£ Santa Ana's downtown revitalization.
Private effort is the backbone of our Redevelopment Project. Required
review of development projects by the Redevelopment Commission,
Project Area Committee and the Redevelopment Agency are limited to
those projects in which the Agency enters into land disposition
agreements and owner participation agreements.
Citizen participation, understanding and interest are needed to
insure that the Santa Aha Redevelopment Project is a success. All
legitimate citizen interest and participation is cordially invited.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Redevelopment Plan (hereinafter
called "the Plan") are to restore the economic and social
health of the Santa Aha downtown area, make the area a
source of pride to persons residing and working in Santa
Aha or visiting the City, guide development towards an
urban environment preserving the aesthetic and cultural
qualities of the City, assist in he re-establishment of
businesses within the project area, and stimulate and
attract private investment thereby improving the City's
economic health, employment opportunities and the tax
base. The foregoing objectives shall be accomplished
through removal of structurally substandard buildings,
elimination of blighting influences, provision of land for
needed public facilities, provision of substantial offstreet
parking through the use of multi-story parking structures,
removal of impediments to land disposition and development,
and achievement of changes in land use.
Ce
To the maximum Possible extent, thc objectives of the
plan are to be accomp2i~ked through Agency encouragement
of, and assistance to, private enterprise in carrying out
development activities with a minimum of Redevelopment
Agency and Redevelopment Commission control and review.~
In this regard, the plan provides for Agency and Commission

A. LAND ACQUISITION
All real property located in the project, except as
specifically exempted herein, may be acquired by the
Redevelopment Agency by gift, devise, exchange, pur-
chase, condemnation or any other lawful method. The
public interest and necessity require the use of the
power of eminent domain by the Alency to acquire those
real properties in the project which cannot be acquired
by other lawful methods. If the owners of properties
herein identified to be acquired by the Agency demonstrate
their ability to redevelop their properties in accordance
with this Plan, the Agency in its discretion m~5' enter
into owner participation agreements with such owners in
lieu of acquiring their properties.
B. REHABILITATION
1. Rehabilitation Standards
Any existing structure within the project area
which the Agency shall approve for retention and
rehabilitation shall be repaired, altered, or re-
constructed in such manner that it will meet the
following requirements: Be safe and sound in all
physical respects and be attractive in appearance
and not detrimental to the surrounding uses.
2. Owner Participation

of the State of California, the Redevelopment Agency
has adopted "Rules for Owner Participation in the
City of Santa Aha ~uaevclopmcn= Project Area" which
Rules set forth ~he conditions for owner participation
in the City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Project.
Generally, the Rules provide for owner participation
in the following categories:
Retention of an improved parcel by its owner
where it is determined by the Agency that the
improvements can remain and will be rehabili-
tated in accordance with the requirements and
objectives of this Plan.
be
Retention by its owner of a parcel (improved
or unimproved) where it is determined by the
Agency that the land can and will be redeveloped
as a separate parcel in conformance with the
requirements of this Plan.
In both categories cited above, the affected owners
will be offered the opportunity of executing an
"Owner Participation Agreement" with the Agency,
which Agreement will provide for the necessary
improvement or redevelopment work to be accomplished
by the owner in order to meet the objectives of this
Plan.
In the event an affected owner fails or refuses to
execute such an Agreement, the Agency may then
acquire his property in the same manner as other
properties are acquired, and dispose of the land
or land and improvements, as the case may be, to
a redeveloper willing to accomplish the objectives
of this Plan.
In the event an affected owner executes such an
Agreement, and later fails to perform in accordance
with its terms, the Agency may then acquire his
property in the same manner as other properties
are acquired, and dispose of the land or land and
improvements, as the case may be, to a redeveloper
willing to accomplish the objectives of this Plan;
provided, that the Agency may establish such pro-
visions in owner participation agreements as it
deems necessary in order to prevent speculation.

be followed.
1. Duration of Controls
Declarations of Restrictions in the form of covenants
running with the land shall be recorded by the Redevelop-
ment Agency in the office of the County Recorder of

covenants shall run in perpetuity.
ARplicability of Land Use Provisions and Buildin~
Requirements to Property Not to be Acquired
The Land Use Provisions and Building Requirements shall
apply to all real property in the project area whether
it is acquired by the Redevelopment Agency or not,
subject to variances granted by the Agency only as
authorized herein.
56
5. · Variances
Where unnecessary hardships, p~actical difficulties,
or consequences inconsistent with the general purposes
of this Plan result from the literal interpretation
and enforcement of the restrictions and limitations
imposed by this Plan, the Redevelopment Agency, upon
receipt of a verified application from the owner of
the property, may grant variances from the provisions
of this plan.
OTHER PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET STATE AND LOCAL LAW
A. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT ELEMENT
The primary objective of the project is to improve, renew
and return to prominence the central commercial core area
of the City to the stature it once held. Accordingly, the
major impact of the project will be on commercial properties.
There are, however, a considerable number of residential
properties within the project boundaries and eventually most
of the families and individuals occupying these, largely
single family residences, will be displaced. Such displace-
ment will be phased so as to ease the impact on project
residents. In other words, t'ne construction of higher
density residential developments will be restricted to one
small area at a time so as to give project residents maxi-
mum opportunity to return to the project area. No families
or.individuals will be displaced by project activities unless
they have a place to move and relocation payments will be
made for both the purchase and the rental of replacement
housing as required under State i~.w. Such payments have a
maximum payment of $15,000 for the purchase of housing and
$4,000 for rental assistance, consequently there will be
no financial hardship imposed on any project resident.
In terms of traffic circulati6n, one of the project's
major objectives is to expedite traffic flow to and through
downtown from the major freeways and outer streets such as
Harbor, Seventeenth, Bristol and Grand.
This improvement in traffic flow.will be accomplished largely
by the widening of certain principal streets such as Flow~,
Stafford, Santa Ann Boulevard and First Streets. The
resultant improvement in circulation will have a benefic: 1
effect on those residents com~uting in and out of the arel
In terms of environmental quality, the project will result
~n creation of an ~rea of which thc community can be proud.
TI~'¢ will ~c a gonera~ upgrading of thc social and cultural
attributes of the area. Site improvements will include
street and utility improvements, installation of needed'
water, sewer and storm drain facilities, implementation
of an improved vehicular and pedestrian circulation plan
and acquisition and development of adequate open space and
park facilities.
With regard to school population and quality of education,
there are no schools within the project boundaries. There
will be, however, beneficial long range financial effects
to the school district in that due to increases in assessed
valuation of properties within the project area and adjacent
to the project area stimulated by project activities the
school district will have a higher taxing base. A-cord-
ingly, increased revenues eventually available to the dis-
trict should be reflected in a higher quality of education.
The project will have little or no effect on school popula~
tions as the higher density apartment type units should
have fewer children than do the single family units presently
existing in the area.
The project will have no effect on the tax rate as the
Redevelopment Agency has no authority to raise or lower
taxes.
It is expected that the total overall
assessed valuation of properties in the project area will
increase tremendously due to new construction and rehabilita-
tion.
Other matters resulting from the redevelopment caused by
the project which will improve the physical and social
quality of the neighborhood are: Increased revenues to
all of the taxing bodies due to an increase in assessed
valuation; increased employment generated by commercial
development and the prevention of future severe blight.
OPEN SPACE AND LAND TO BE DEVOTED TO PUBLIC PURPOSES
1. Open Space
Approximately three per cent ($%) of the total project
area will be developed as green areas, the tentative
location of which is shown on Exhibit "A", Land Use
Map.
38
~and to be Devoted to Public Purpose,s
The Land Use Map marked iixhibit "A", attached hereto
and made a part hereof, indicates the rights-of-way of
all streets and highways to be retained or construct,ed.
In addition, sidewalks, malls, green areas, utilities,
and public easements therefor will be provided as neces-
sary.
VI.
ACTIONS BY THE CITY
The City shall aid and cooperate with the Agency in carrying out
this Plan and shall take all actions necessary to ensure the con-
tinued fulfillment of the purposes of this Plan and to prevent
the recurrence or spread in the area of conditions causing blight.-
Action by the City shall include, but not be limited to the
following:
Institution and completion of proceedings for opening, closing,
vacating, widening, or changing the grades of streets, alleys
and other public rights-of-way, and for other necessary modifica-
tions of the streets, the street layout, and other public rights-
of-way as appropriate to carry out this Plan.
Institution and completion of proceedings necessary for changes
and improvements in publicly-o~rned public utilities within or
affecting the Project Area.
Revision of zoning within the Project Area to permit the land
uses and development authorized by this Plan.
Performance of the above, and of all other functions and services
relating to public health, safety, and physical development
normally rendered in accordance with a schedule which will permit
the redevelopment of the Project Area to be commenced and carried
to completion without unnecessary delays.
The undertaking and completing of any other proceedings necessary
to carry out the Project.
