Santa Ana Heights: SR16 • EXHIBIT NO. 3 The General Plan Policies and land use designations for Santa Ana Heights are intended to create land uses compatible with the John Wayne Airport, respond to the demand for commercial uses along the Corona del Mar Freeway, and protect and enhance the character of the well - established residential areas. The large lots in the low density area of Santa Ana Heights are located adjacent to the Regional Equestrian Trail and have traditionally been the only residential area where the keeping of large animals has been permitted, thereby providing those residents that enjoy a ru- ral /equestrian lifestyle this unique opportunity. The two large residential areas in Santa Ana Heights are fully subdivided and developed. The larger lot subdivision is general- ly subdivided at two lots per acre and is designated "low- density residential." Those lots smaller than one -half acre and sub- divided prior to annexation, may remain, and those lots larger than one -half acre shall not be subdivided smaller than one -half acre. The large "estate" lots south of Mesa Drive are also designated "low- density residential" and shall not be further subdivided. The other large residential area has been subdivided at approximately 5 lots per acre and has been designated "medi- um- density residential." Lots which are undersized as of annexation, shall be allowed to remain, however, subdivision of lots in the medium- density area shall. not be permitted. All of the residentially designated lots may be developed with no more than one dwelling unit per lot. Commercial horse stables shall be allowed in the low- density residential area subject to the provisions of the Specific Plan. Areas designated for "Administrative, Professional and Financial Commercial" or a combination of "Administrative, Professional and Financial Commercial" and "Retail and Service Commercial" shall be limited to a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .5. Hotels, motels, and convalescent hospitals shall not be permitted in areas designated exclusively for "Administrative, Professional and Financial Commercial." Santa Ana Heights is designated as a Specific Plan Area in order that unique zoning may be created to accommodate the character of the area.
