central Santa Ana area, and could resutt in a number of law finns and
. court reporting firms relocating from elsewhere, or in the significant
expansion of existing court-related firms in the planning area. The
new Federal court facilities are scheduled for completion in 1997.
Downtown Santa Ana and Fiesta Marketplace
Downtown Santa Ana has emerged as a major shopping and office
area specializing in Latino-oriented businesses and government
offices. Coupled with its relatively easy mass transit access and
central location in the County's primary concentration of Latinos, this
area will likely continue as a major shopping district, and will
significantly affect activity patterns and uses in the Midtown planning
area. Recent trends towards locating technical schools in the
southern portions of the planning area are, amongst other influences,
an indication of its easy access and the nearby location of the
Downtown shopping district
Civic Center Complex
The concentration of local, State and Federal government offices in
the Civic Center Complex is felt throughout the planning area. A
survey of major office buildings in the Midtown area shows that a
large number of Federal and County agencies have located in the
planning area. If government services expand, additional demand for
. relatively inexpensive office space may be felt in the planning area.
However, the short- and mid-term trend will be towards re-
consolidating governmental services into the Civic Center complex.
This will draw users away from the Midtown planning area, and could
increase the already high vacancy rates in the high rise buildings
south of Washington Street
Regional Transportation Center (RTC) Complex
The RTC at the intersection of Santa Ana Boulevard and Santiago
Avenue could emerge as a major node of urban activity as the new
METROLlNK system gains 'ridership, and as rail transit links are
provided with the downtown/civic center complex and the rest of
Orange County. Future land uses in the RTC area are presently
being planned. The effect on future land uses in the Midtown area
cannot be predicted at this point, but the planning area's location
near the RTC could help attract office uses along with supporting
retail commercial and restaurant development to the southern half of
the planning area.

PLANNING AREA ACCESS
At present, primary east-west access to the Midtown planning area is
via First Street on the south and Seventeenth Street on the north.
Main Street and Broadway provide primary arterial access to the
downtown/civic center complex from the north and the south.
An "enhanced intersection" has been designated for Seventeenth
Street and Main Street, and Seventeenth and Broadway, through
General Plan Amendment No. 92-9. The intersection improvements
will include increasing the number of "tanes at the intersection
approach to increase capacity. The exact configuration of the
intersection will be based on detailed traffic and land use analysis.
Freeway access to the Midtown area is provided by Interstate 5,
either from the Main Street interchange to the north, or the
Seventeenth Street interchange to the northeast. Once
improvements are complete, access to the planning area from the
southeast will be provided by the First/Fourth Street interchange.
Even though competing employment centers have more convenient
freeway access, the Midtown area benefits directly from its easy
mass transit access. Bus access to the planning area is direct due
mostly to the area's location near the Civic Center complex and the
location of aCTA's main transit terminal at Broadway and Fifth
Street. Commuter rail access is currently being provided at the
Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, and bus service is
available for direct access to the Midtown area. As described above,
both METROLlNK and fixed guideway services will be available in
the future. The implication for the planning area is that in the future
its accessibility by rapid transit will be excellent, which over the long
term will increase the attractiveness of the area as a business
location. The planning area will also increasingly benefit adjacent
residential neighborhoods with its convenience to jobs, shopping and
regional transit
VISUAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
An inventory of Midtown's visual strengths and weaknesses is
documented on Exhibit 4, Visual Strengths and Weaknesses. The
following process was employed for this visual assessment.
. The photographic inventory, building survey, and physical
constraints mapping of Midtown conducted for the design
charette were reviewed to gain familiarity with the planning area.
. A walking and driving survey was conducted by the consulting
team to confirm the inventory data.

Visual Strenghts and Weaknesses

Midtown Specific Plan
.
Views from streets were assessed to define locations where
positive views exist.
Street frontages were reviewed and notated according to their
positive or negative appearance. Buildings that are not well
maintained and frontages that are visually overwhelmed by a
confusion of signs are examples of factors contributing to a
negative appearance. Positive factors include well maintained
frontages, buildings and setbacks, or mature landscaping along
the street.
.
Based on the inventory review and field surveys, elements that
strengthen or weaken Midtown's visual qualities were identified and
mapped. A discussion of the visual strengths and weaknesses of
Midtown follows.
Strengths
Aesthetic Street Views
The factors that influence these views are the architecturally
significant buildings along Civic Center Drive and the view east on
Eighth Street, which is terminated by an attractive residential
structure. Views along Bush Street are enhanced in the blocks that
have mature street trees on both sides of the street.
Buildings of Character
These include the buildings identified in the Survey of North
Main/North Broadway Corridor, dated March 22, 1992 and prepared
by the Historic Resources Review Committee. In addition, individual
structures and groups of structures that add to the character and
scale of various streets in Midtown are shown.
Mature Street Trees
Bush Street and Broadway have large numbers of mature street
trees, although several blocks have only a few or none. Some of the
east-west cross streets also have segments with mature street trees,
including Eighth Street, Tenth Street, and Washington Street.
Open Space
Several significant open space areas make a positive contribution to
Midtown. These include the church at Tenth and Main and the
financial institution at Main Street and Washington.
Positive Street Image
Exhibit 4 shows several street segments throughout Midtown which
exhibit an overall positive image due to the quality of landscaping,
well-maintained and attractive building facades, and signage that is in
scale and character with the buildings.
Weaknesses
Large Expanses of Unscreened Parking
The negative impact from unscreened parking areas is exhibited
primarily along Sycamore Street and Broadway between Civic Center
Drive and Tenth Street. Many of these parking lots lack landscaping
that provides visual buffering. This lack of screening magnifies the
adverse impacts of large expanses of parking.
Negative Street Image
Also shown on Exhibit 4 are various segments of Midtown's street
frontages which are visually unattractive. This is due to a
combination of factors, including vacant buildings, deteriorating
buildings, unkempt grounds, loud colors, blank walls, and unattractive
signs.

. SPECIFIC PLAN PRINCIPLES
The following specific plan principles provide overall guidance in the
areas of land use, design, and parking and circulation. Urban Design
Principles, Exhibit 5, illustrates the following specific plan principles.
The subsequent chapters describe in detail the development
standards and design guidelines for each of the five land use/activity
districts, a landscape concept plan, circulation and parking plans and
a review of implementation mechanisms.
LAND USE
. Encourage a land use pattern that builds upon the concepts
identified in the Midtown Conceptual Plan while furthering the land
use policy principles established in Santa Ana's General Plan.
. Residential concepts and densities should be consistent with
General Plan policies.
. Establish links to surrounding employment and shopping areas.
~otect and maintain the adjacent Willard, French Court and
~rench Park neighborhoods.
. Limit single room occupancy development only to the YWCA
building.
. Encourage the adaptive re-use of historically or architecturally
significant buildings and districts throughout Midtown.
. Encourage recreation, entertainment and cultural activities in
Midtown to complement the Museum District.
. Protect the image and integrity of the Broadway Corridor.
URBAN DESIGN
The following urban design principles address the overall form and
structure of Midtown with specific details for its five land use/activity
districts. After general considerations, they address views and
gateways, building form, open space nodes, and pedestrian space
linkages. These principles are intended to reinforce the unique
identity of Midtown's activity districts and to achieve a coherent
overall image. (Refer to Exhibit 5, Urban Design Principles.)
.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
. Develop a strong sense of community identity for Midtown as a
whole and for each of its districts.
. Strengthen pedestrian access into, around and through the
Midtown area to the maximum extent possible consistent with the
City's congestion management programs.
. Develop a comprehensive public improvements program,
including consistent landscape and streetscape themes.
. Create a secure environment that will protect the community
and attract additional business investment.
. Create a safe and pleasant open space component including
plazas and passive green spaces.
. Protect the character of the Broadway Corridor north of
Washington Avenue and Bush Street by reinforcing the
predominant scale of development.
. Develop site and architectural design standards based on
principles that promote and protect the identity and character of
Midtown while stimulating additional investment.
. Preserve and build upon Santa Ana's historical resources and
other significant resources.
VIEWS AND GATEWAYS
Establish distinctive gateways to Midtown on Main Street at
Civic Center Drive and Seventeenth Street through a
combination of buildings, landscaping, signage, and streetscape
designs.
Enhance the streetscape of the approach routes to Midtown on
Seventeenth Street and Civic Center Drive to contribute to
greater aesthetic quality and beauty. Streetscape, landscape,
signage and lighting should be coordinated to achieve a
distinctive sense of arrival to Midtown.
Extend downtown Santa Ana's historic street grid of square
blocks into Midtown by introducing cross block view axes
wherever appropriate to break up the excessive length of the
blocks along Main Street. These visual breaks should occur at
Ninth, Eleventh and Fourteenth Streets. This will provide an
appropriate scale to the blocks and corridors.

.
BUILDING FORM
Building form shall contribute to the unique character desired for
Midtown's various activity districts.
. Cluster taller buildings on Main Street from Civic Center Drive to
Washington Avenue, tapering heights and intensities towards
Washington Avenue, to reinforce existing office towers, and to
express the Civic/Professional and Financial Districts' role as
employment centers. A tower form is most appropriate for Main
Street, because it reflects the form of existing office structures.
There shall be only one new tower of 6 to 8 stories in the
Financial District, with other buildings of one and two stories.
. Use lower buildings to define and protect pedestrian space and
create an activity edge along Main Street and the mid-block
extensions of Ninth, Eleventh and Fourteenth Streets.
. The form and siting of older structures of character on Broadway
north of Washington and Bush (sited on small lots with front and
side yards) shall be reflected by new development and
revitalization of existing buildings along these streets.
Establish specific height zones to regulate building height, with the
greatest heights on Main Street between Civic Center Drive and
Washington, intermediate heights on Broadway and on Main Street
north of Washington, and the lowest building heights along
Broadway and Bush Streets. (See Exhibit 6, General Building
8hts.)
OPEN SPACE NODES
Main Street shall be accented by two open space nodes, one at the
intersection of Tenth, and one at Washington. These nodes are
intended to provide open space relief in the center of Midtown.
These nodes shall be connected by a linear open space strip along
Sycamore south of Tenth Street and north of Washington, which will
function as an integral part of Midtown's central open space resource.
PEDESTRIAN SPACE
Pedestrian space shall reinforce the ground floor activities within
districts and provide convenient and attractive routes and social
spaces throughout Midtown. Main Street and the Ninth Street
pedestrian way are the primary shopping streets with continuous
storefronts defining the street space.
Wherever possible, the sidewalk will be widened to encourage
pedestrian activity and provide space for enhanced landscaping and
streetscape amenities.
Strengthen the qualities of pedestrian space on Broadway and Bush
eaintaining mature street trees, landscaped front yards, clear
strian paths, and by requiring future development to provide
e features.

11 B-13
Midtown Specific Plan
. Mid-block pedestrian street crossings are not encouraged. All
pedestrian movements will be directed to approved crosswalks.
. Enhance the pedestrian scale of the Eleventh and Fourteenth
Street mid-block pedestrian ways between Main and Sycamore by
encouraging retail activities and landscaping along their edges.
. Provide safe, convenient and pleasant walkways linking
surrounding residential areas to Midtown activity districts.
These east-west connections include Washington, and Fifteenth
Streets to the west, and Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Washington,
Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Streets to the east.
CIRCULATION
. Maintain Broadway and Main as strong, visually attractive
business corridors while making sure that their ability to safely
carry high traffic volumes is maintained.
. Maintain the function of Washington Street, Civic Center Drive, and
Seventeenth Street as east-west connectors.
. Develop land use and design strategies for incorporating a
proposed fixed guideway rail mass transit system through
Midtown, including possible alignments.
. Protect Bush Street from heavy business and residential traffic in
order to maintain its residential character.
LAND usE! ACTIVITY DISTRICTS
Midtown will provide for a wide variety of uses organized into five
land use districts. These districts were first identified as part of the
initial conceptual planning for Midtown, and have been refined
through additional area analysis. (See Exhibit 7, Midtown Districts.)
Each is intended to be distinct from the other, but supportive of the
whole area by contributing to a balance of commercial, public, office
and other employment activities.
The following six chapters define each district according to its theme,
objectives, land uses or activities, physical framework, site attributes,
development opportunities, development standards, and design
guidelines. Property lines shown on exhibits are based on assessor
parcel maps and do not necessarily reflect legal parcels.

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The following development opportunities define the major projects
within the district. The descriptions approximate the development
potential of each site, and do not indicate actual permitted capacities.
These will be defined by development standards and design
guidelines.
Church Plaza Office Tower/Retail Arcade. Between the Church
Plaza on the north and Ninth Street on the south,
development includes an 85,000 square foot office tower
and 21,000 square feet of retail space, with an arcade
frontage on the plaza, and underground parking structures.
Ninth Street Extension Retail. About 25,000 square feet of new
and refurbished space forming the south frontage along
Ninth Street, between Broadway and Main. The Ninth
Street extension will be a privately owned pedestrian
street with limited vehicular access. It should be fully
secured during off-hours.

Building Envelopes
General
The permitted building envelopes in the Civic/Professional District are
defined by height and front yard setback requirements established for
each block. Their primary purpose is to establish the relationship
between public and private pedestrian space and the building wall,
which forms its edge. Setbacks define pedestrian space at the
ground level and show where higher buildings (greater than 35 feet)
can be sited.
Exhibit 10, Civic/Professional District Height and Setbacks, provides
the setback dimensions from property lines and other benchmarks
throughout the district, and height limits and setbacks for buildings
higher than 35 feet. Reference information on the exhibit shows
existing buildings that are likely to remain, thereby indicating
relationships between existing buildings and potential new
development or realization.
Also shown for reference are major features of the comprehensive
plan, including major open spaces, planned parking facilities,
pedestrian access ways and recommended ground floor arcades.
Building Height
.'9ht is specified by number of stories and feet as measured from
b height.
Generally, the maximum height for all low-rise buildings is 35 feet.
Buildings above 35 feet in the Civic/Professional District include
existing office towers on Main street and Broadway and potential
office towers clustered at the intersection of Main street and Ninth
Street, where heights may be up to 120 feet.
The towers are set back 15 feet from the Main Street and Ninth
Street property lines or edge of the Ninth Street private pedestrian
way. A maximum diagonal dimension is also specified to encourage
slender towers.
An optional tower configuration is shown for a business hotel on the
Buffum's block, whereby two hotel towers would be permitted with
appropriate spacing between and a maximum 140 foot diagonal
dimension.
Setbacks
Setbacks at ground level are established to enhance pedestrian
space throughout the district, create compatible relationships
between existing and future building street walls and recognize
opportunities to create new open space resources, such as plazas,
pedestrian ways and landscaped areas.
. major setback conditions are discussed below by street:
Main Street. A variety of conditions exist, but most buildings have
no setback, thereby resulting in a tight, urban sidewalk character
of minimal width. Major exceptions are the church plaza at
Tenth and Main and the existing tower between Eighth and
Ninth, which is setback 12 feet and has a 13 foot wide ground
level arcade.
The potential future tower sites at Ninth and Main would
maintain the 15 foot setback condition and provide a 15 foot
wide ground level arcade in the setback.
The towers would be setback 15 feet from all property lines,
thus reflecting the siting of all existing towers on Main street.
Open space and plaza amenities to be maintained and provided
include the existing church plaza at Tenth Street, a wide
sidewalk area across the street mirroring the wide sidewalk area
north of Tenth, a corner plaza at Ninth and Main to provide an
entry court for the potential tower, and a pedestrian plaza in a
portion of the abandoned Seventh Street right-of-way.
Ninth Street Pedestrian Way. This planned private access way
is 40 feet wide and lined with 15 foot deep ground level arcades
along most of its length. It terminates in a 70 foot wide plaza,
also lined with arcades, on the west side of Broadway.
Civic Center Drive. The existing building walls will create a
variegated landscaped area with varied and generous setbacks
along the street, providing an aesthetic foreground for the
cluster of older buildings of character likely to remain, and
contributing to the parkway character which exists along much
of Civic Center Drive.
Broadway. Twenty foot setbacks are established for all new
developments. This will permit the landscaped character of
Broadway north of Washington to be continued to south of
Tenth Street. The exceptions are existing buildings that remain,
which have less the 20 foot setbacks.
Sycamore Street. Sycamore functions primarily as a local service
street and provides access to existing and planned parking.
Three variations to the standard condition of zero setback occur:
the church plaza at Tenth Street and a wide (35 foot) setback
across the street to extend the landscaped character; comer
setbacks and arcades at the Ninth Street pedestrian way
intersection with Sycamore; and landscaped parkway areas at
Civic Center Drive. Vine pockets are encouraged along parking
structures and a 10 foot landscaped setback is required at
surface parking lots.
Church Plaza. An expanded landscaped open space is planned to
enhance the setting for the church. The south edge would be
defined by a ground level arcade.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT
THEME
A midrise district of office towers on Main Street, w~h a vibrant
street-life of support retail stores, services and restaurants. (See
Exhibit 21, Financial District Concept Plan.)
OBJECTIVES
.
Maintain the existing concentration of financial institutions and
office towers on Main Street and encourage reinvestment to
enhance the quality of this space.
Encourage an office tower development on Main Street.
Encourage ground floor retail uses on Main Street to serve
the day-time office employees, visitor traffic on Main Street and
to enhance the quality of the pedestrian experience.
Enhance the sidewalk space on Main Street through widening,
additional landscaping and streetscape amenities on private
property.
.
.
.
LAND USE ACTIVITIES
The Financial District lies at the center of Midtown from Tenth Street
on the south and Washington Street on the north, and between
Sycamore Street on the west and Bush Street on the east. The
Financial District abuts the Civic/Professional District on the south,
with its intended concentration of institutional and civic uses, and is
within easy walking distance of the downtown retail activities along
Fourth Street. The Financial District is bordered by the One
Broadway District Center on the west with its mix of office and retail
uses, and by the historic French Park residential district on the east.
Lower intensity strip commercial development predominates along
Main Street north of Washington Avenue.
The Financial District's primary role in the Midtown area is to act as a
concentrated office district that will attract a mix of professional
offices, financial institutions, and governmental agencies reliant in
part on proximity to the Civic Center. Ground floor space should be
filled with uses that are traditionally street oriented and encourage
pedestrian activity, including retail establishments, restaurants,

.' credit unions, and other activities that serve office workers in
ear the district.
Given the relatively homogenous character of the Financial District,
activity patterns will be much less complex than characterized by the
Civic/Professional District to the south and the mixed office and
residential districts to the east and west. Uses foreseen for the
Financial District include:
. Professional, financial, insurance and real estate offices.
Offices that rely on direct interface with clientele, such as retail
bank operations, should locate on ground floors.
. Governmental agencies needing larger floor areas, but not
having a large walk-in clientele. Examples include specialized
service agencies, regional planning agencies, independent
transit authorities, and Federal offices.
. Retail commercial uses that serve office workers and clients,
including ground floor retail shops such as books, stationary,
gifts, personal services, business services, and restaurants.
. Museums, galleries, or unique attractions.
. Day care facilities
. Medical offices and clinics located on the upper floors of
.commercial office buildings.
PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK
.
The urban street grid is reinforced by the extension of
Eleventh Street as a mid-block pedestrian way.
Main Street is the primary north-south arterial, and access to
parking is provided by cross streets and Sycamore Street south
of Tenth Street and north of Washington.
Open space nodes and special intersection streetscape on
Main Street at Tenth and Washington Streets provide
landmarks for the district.
Main Street is the primary pedestrian focus for the district.
New and existing large floor-plate spaces fronting Main
Street are to be refurbished to enhance the Main Street
pedestrian environment.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Figure Ground Diagram (Exhibit 23)
This diagram illustrates the spatial qualities of this district at
maximum build-out. Future buildings along Eleventh Street and Main
should be aligned to create a 'street wall' as illustrated in the
diagram. The 'street wall" may either be solid or porous with periodic
minor breaks in its continuity so long as the whole wall is seen to
define the street edge. A pedestrian way should be provided in line
with Eleventh Street, between Main and Sycamore. An Outlet from
the Bush Street parking structure between Eleventh and Washington
should be provided onto Main, using the Twelfth Street right-of-way.
Upper parking levels should be masked from the Eleventh Street
pedestrian way by smaller scaled openings. The lateral width of bay
openings should not exceed 24 feet in order to maintain pedestrian
scale and rhythm of architectural features.

following design guidelines are recommended:
. Discourage general public access from parking structures
directly to buildings to encourage pedestrian traffic on the street.
. Stairs and elevators serving parking structures be located with
direct access onto street sidewalk; preferably, stairs should be
located at or as near as possible to the intersection of two
streets.
Shops front directly onto Tenth, Eleventh, and Washington

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Figure Ground Diagram (Exhibit 31 )
This diagram illustrates that the buildings along the west side of Main
Street shall be continuous in contrasting with the existing and
proposed new structures on the east side of Main Street, which are
cited on small lots and have side yard setbacks.
Where shown on the Figure Ground Diagram an arcade of at least 15
feet in depth and 15 feet - 35 feet in height should be provided.
A plaza should be located at the west side of Main between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Streets. That plaza provides access from the parking
structure located between Sycamore and Main. The arcade along
Main Street should wrap around the buildings as they come towards
the parking structure.
A distinct break in buildings should be made for pedestrians in line
with Fourteenth Street, north of Washington.
All buildings on the west side of the street should form a continuous
street wall.
A double row of street trees (palms) should be employed along Main
Street to further enhance the pedestrian space and unify the
streetscape. Street trees will be located on private property, and
within the Main Street right-of-way.
An entry plaza is to be provided at the intersection of Main and
Seventeenth Streets.
Buildings on the east side of Main should be continuous between
Seventeenth and Sixteenth Streets as well as between Washington
and Fourteenth Streets with the exception of the plaza giving access
to the parking.
The buildings between Fourteenth and Sixteenth Streets should
reflect the context and scale of existing structures in that segment of
Main Street. The parcel bounded by Main, Washington and
Sycamore and presently including Home Savings, is to include a
heavily landscaped parking lot with large canopy trees and a large
plaza at Main and Washington.

LAND USEI ACTIVITIES
The Broadway Corridor District encompasses both sides of
Broadway and the west side of Sycamore Street between
Washington and Seventeenth Street. With the notable exception of
the 10 story office building in the 1600 block and the next door
apartment complex, this area is a mix of residential, office, and
institutional uses in one and two story buildings. The Broadway
District abuts the Civic/Professional District to the south, and backs
onto the One Broadway District Center and the Community and
Specialty Retail District to the east. The Broadway District has a
strong historic character, with a number of buildings dating from the
turn of the century.
The Broadway District will continue to play its current role in the
Midtown area by providing lower-intensity office space mixed with
residential and institutional activities, such as churches and social
services. The urban scale and form will remain that of a large square
footage single family neighborhood with deep setbacks from the
street. Broadway itself will continue to carry heavy traffic as a
secondary arterial access for the downtown and Civic Center areas
to the south. The Broadway District will continue to serve the
downtown and Civic Center areas with professional offices, space for
semi-public service agencies such as the YWCA, and limited
residential uses. While very low intensity in character, the district will
thus house a wide variety of uses and activities.
These activities and uses include the following:
. Professional, financial, insurance and real estate offices with
little walk-in traffic.
.
Institutional office uses, including public agencies and private
office uses.
Specialty and general practice medical and dental offices.
Reoccupied single family structures for cottage industries, as a
conditional use.
.
.
.
Day care facilities.
Congregate care and convalescent homes.
.
PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK
.
Broadway is the major north-south arterial forming the western
edge of Midtown.
Older structures, landscaped front yards, mature street trees
and small lot frontages define Broadway's unique character. (The
long-range land use policy is to create a landscaped open
space centrally located to the Midtown District).
.
SITE ATTRIBUTES
.
Between residential neighborhoods and central city commercial
district.
Significant concentration of older structures of character
Landscaped front yards and mature street trees.
Small lots and primarily residentially-scaled structures.
.
.
.
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The following development opportunities define the major projects
within the district. The descriptions approximate the development
potential of each site, and do not indicate actual permitted capacities.
These will be defined by development standards and desigr,
guidelines.
Small Lot Infill. Existing vacant lots, and those with deteriorating
structures that are not architecturally significant provide sites for
small-scale office development, consistent with the architectural
styles and scale of surrounding structures.
Renovation. Refurbishment of existing structures for re-use as
professional offices, services and institutional uses.
Revitalization. Upgrading major office structures to make them
competitive in the" local office market.

Midtown Specific Plan
LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN
Midtown is articulated by an urban fabric of city blocks bounded by
avenues and streets. The landscape concept plan (Exhibit 41,
Landscape Concept Plan) proposes to strengthen the existing grid
pattern and define the character of individual roadways with a
specific palette of plant materials arranged formally along the street
space. Two distinct open plaza spaces occur on Main Street at
Home Savings and First Church of Christ Science. The following
sections delineate the different proposed streets cape concepts from
the palm lined Main Street to the quiet canopy of Bush Street.
PUBLIC & PRIVATE OPEN SPACE
Currently all open space areas in Midtown are privately owned, with
the exception of street and other rights-of-way. This relationship will
remain the same into the future, with all or most publicly accessible
space such as plazas, promenades or courtyards being privately
owned and managed. New development will be required to improve
certain plazas and pedestrian promenades in accordance with the
Landscape Concept Plan (Exhibit 41).
MAIN STREET
Main Street will be the gateway to Midtown and its landscape
character should reflect the importance of this role. Queen Palms
are proposed to provide a vertical street tree compatible with the
cluster of office towers and to mirror the Broadway streetscape.
This will develop a vertical scale that could be identified from a
distance. Banners hanging from the street lights could further
enhance Main Street's importance and announce special events such
as festivals and merchant-sponsored promotions.
As funds become available, intersections will be improved at four
locations: Seventeenth, Washington, Tenth, and Civic Center Drive.
Enhanced paving or interlocking pavers would be utilized to define
pedestrian crossing and set a standard for material upgrades for the
district.
Subject to funding, the following streetscape upgrades could be
utilized along Main Street to develop a vital commercial element:
14TH sr.
Exhibit 41
Landscape Concept Plan
Chapter 9: Landscape Concept Plan

11 B-32
Midtown Specific Plan
.PUBLIC SPACE NODESÄND CONNECTORS
The open space nodes will be connected by a passive park-like
corridor. The character will be natural and freeform developing an
oasis away from the urban grid. Indigenous plants will strengthen the
existing oak and sycamore habitat.
Two open space plazas (non-buildable areas) will require special
landscape treatment to create successful gathering places and
complement their existing architectural landmarks, the First Church of
Christ Science and Home Savings
At both sites the street corner enhancement will be extended to all
four adjacent comers. Intersection enhancement will include
enhanced paving, signage, flags and banners, canopy trees for
architectural definition, and palms for vertical scale. [Enhancement
shall develop a landscape node that shall define the vehicular and
pedestrian right-of-way for safety and function.]
Landscape will envelop the open space with dense canopy trees to
create a park like setting around and within the existing parking
behind Home Savings. Future development plans will preserve the
diagonal alignment created by Homes Savings to ensure the plaza
I space. Tree layout will provide visual access to architectural
structures, screen the barren walls of neighboring buildings and
emphasize the urban grid that surrounds them. The plaza around
the First Church of Christ Science (Exhibit 42, Church Plaza) should
remain as green space. The design will incorporate a retail arcade
ale south edge of the plaza.

CIRCULATION
CIRCULATION PLAN
Traffic and circulation analysis was completed as part of the
evaluation of proposed conceptual land use plans for the Midtown
District. The development envisioned for the study area, which
consists of a variety of land uses and proposed parking facilities,
would impact the circulation conditions in the study area. The study
area is in close proximity to the Santa Ana Freeway (1-5) with
convenient access to the Orange (SR-57), Costa Mesa (SR-55) and
Garden Grove (SR-22) Freeways.
Circulation System Principles
Maintain Broadway and Main Street as enhanced visual corridors
while ensuring that north/south arterial capacities are maintained.
. Encourage safe pedestrian flow internal to the existing block
setting.
. Encourage pedestrians to use crosswalks across Main
Street/Broadway where signal control is available.
. Prohibit on-street parking along Main Street and Broadway.
. Encourage access to parking lots/structures from secondary
east/west streets.
.
Locate parking facilities so that pedestrians are encouraged to
cross streets safely.
Protect Bush Street and Sycamore Street from heavy traffic to
preserve and promote their character.
. Evaluate the use of stop sign control on Sycamore Street at
Ninth.
.
Increase car carrying capacity of parallel streets, Broadway and
Main Streets.
Evaluate the potential for new east/west streets and pedestrian
access paths, on-street parking, further definition of grid pattem, and
interdistrict circulation. Maintain the function of Civic Center Drive,
and Tenth, Washington and Seventeenth Streets as east/west
connectors by maintaining their current capacities.
.
Provide east/west pedestrian paths by extending Ninth,
Eleventh, and Fourteenth Streets across the study area, per the
concept plan and plan principles.
.
Discourage access to parking lots/structures from Civic Center
Drive, Washington and Seventeenth Streets.
Enhance traffic flow along Civic Center Drive, and Tenth,
Washington and Seventeenth Streets by not allowing on-street
parking.
.
Vehicular Circulation Plan
The potential measures to implement the principles have been
identified and are listed above. The circulation plan for the Midtown
District is illustrated in Exhibit 45, Circulation Plan. The circulation
plan incorporates a majority of the measures listed above. Some of
the elements of the circulation plan as illustrated in Exhibit 46 are as
follows:
.
Several new pedestrian pathways were recommended.
Pedestrian safety, minimal pedestrian/vehicular interaction were
considered in the recommendation of these pathways. Along
some pedestrian pathways, vehicular traffic is limited to
emergency and service vehicles only. Pedestrian crossings
across Main Street and Broadway were limited to .existing
signalized intersections.
No new traffic signals were recommended. Parking is
recommended to be removed along Main Street to enhance its
capacity for through traffic movement.
Access to the proposed parking structures was primarily
limited to local streets such as Bush, Sycamore, Birch, Eighth,
and Ninth Streets.
Several enhanced intersections are planned throughout the
City of Santa Ana to improve traffic flow on the arterial system,
including Main Street and Seventeenth Street, Broadway and
Seventeenth Street, and Main Street and First Street.
Enhanced intersections are assumed to have as many as two
left-turn lanes, three through lanes, and one right-turn lane on
each approach to the intersection. The built environment may
affect the extent to which an enhanced intersection is
developed.

Midtown Specific Plan
Midtown design elements that will be conditioned as developer
improvements on adjacent projects include:
. Landscaping improvements.
. The extension of the Ninth, Eleventh, and Fourteenth Street
pedestrian connectors.
. The Seventeenth Street and Civic Center Drtve comer features.
. The urban plaza features at Washington and Tenth Street.
Meanwhile, City capital improvement funding will focus on
streetscape improvements. These include:
.
A parking and streetscape program on Main Street.
.
An identification banner program.
.
Entry treatments.
The implementation strategy includes phasing priorities that focus at
both ends of the Midtown area and work toward the middle:
Priority 1 - Direct stimulus to the revitalization of the
civic/professional district is to be provided through the
construction of a public parking structure on the west side of
Sycamore south of the Ninth Street extension. As part of this
project, the extension of Ninth Street as a pedestrtan corridor is
to be undertaken. The Main Street parking and streetscape
programs are also to be implemented. The provision of a new
parking in the Civic/Professional distrtct will provide a significant
attraction for new businesses, and eventually new construction.
Priority 2 - The construction of a new community shopping center
along the west side of Main Street between Washington Avenue
and 17th Street is to proceed. This project will require
considerable Community Development Agency involvement in
recruiting a developer and major tenants including a
supermarket, and providing assistance with land assembly. The
project will need to integrate the construction of a parking
structure to serve the needs of the new commercial
development. The existing financial institutions also may be
retained and incorporated into the development plan so that
they function as key elements in the overall community serving
project. The pedestrian connector shown in the plan along
Fourteenth Street also should be constructed as a central
pedestrtan and entertainment corridor.
The development of a Midtown Business improvement distrtct is
also necessary. This distrtct is a mechanism for business in the
area to come together for marketing, self-promotion activities,
and business development similar to what is occurrtng in the
downtown area.
The City will explore using capital funds, grants or other funding
sources to purchase undeveloped parcels on the west side of
Sycamore Street north of Tenth Street, which are crttical to the
central open space resource of the plan. This area can be
developed into the proposed urban park.
Priority 3 - Construct Tenth Street to Washington Avenue parking
facilities together with the mid-block pedestrian connector along
Eleventh Street. Once additional parking is provided on the east
side of Sycamore Street, then action can be taken to develop
the central open space. The node around the church and the
three lots along the west side of Sycamore Street south of
Washington Avenue can be combined with the lots to the south
purchased durtng Prtority 2 to complete the development of the
urban park. This priority also includes the construction of a
parking structure west of Broadway south of Tenth Street with
vehicular access on Birch Street and pedestrian access to
Broadway.
IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX
The following matrix depicts the implementation program detailing the
priorities listed above under the headings of development and
parking, streetscape, open space and marketing. Projects are
organized and prioritized as short, mid or long-term. Generally,
short-term is within five years; mid-term is between five and 10 years,
and long-term is beyond 10 years. Activities and projects are
prioritized based upon their ability to stimulate new private
investment in Midtown.
The Implementation Program serves as a guide for allocating City
resources in Midtown as well as assisting in the direction of private
funding and capital outlay. As funds become available, projects
identified as short-term are to be given first priority and included in
the City's budgeting process. prtvate development interest may also
effect the allocation of public resources and project priorities if it is
determined that the prtvate project promotes the goals and objectives
of the Specific Plan.

SECTION 7 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The One Broadway Plaza Specific Development District is intended to allow
the development of a landmark office tower and affiliated parking garage
while maintaining some of the historic structures located on the northwest
side of the district. The following general development standards are
applicable to this project:
1.
Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.)
The required floor area ratio for the project site shall be 2.9, or 530,487
square feet of development. The FAR is calculated by dividing the total
square footage of the office building plus the existing structures to
remain by the total square footage of the project site. Consistent with
the General Plan, the parking structure is not included in the FAR
calculation. This FAR includes the proposed office tower (518,003
square feet) and the structures that will remain on the project site
(12,484 square feet). The FAR for the existing structures shall remain
at 0.5 or less.
2.
Parcel Size
The One Broadway Plaza parcel size shall be 4.339 acres. Subdivision
of the parcel is not permitted.
3.
Buildinq Envelopes
Height and yard areas established for the existing structures and the
office tower define the permitted building envelopes in the One
Broadway Plaza Specific Development District. With the exceptions of
the office tower and parking structure, all buildings shall maintain a
lower scale character no taller than 35 feet or 3-stories, whichever is
less.
