expenses of installation, operation, and control of parking spaces and parking
meters, but also those incurred in the control of traffic and enforcement of
traffic regulations; and

F. Planned new development and expansion in Downtown Santa Ana is likely to
increase traffic and parking demand; and
G. Existing Code provisions regarding parking zones do not accurately reflect
