SECTION ION Ai. GENEPAL
An estimated population of 7,944 persons is anticipated for the total
planning area. This figure has been used for estimating community faci-
lities.
Schools
The community of Harbor View Hills presently falls within two (2) unified
school districts. The area located west of San Miguel Drive, the Newport -
Mesa Unified School District provides school facilities. The area east of
San Miguel Drive, is served by the Irvine Unified School District and the
Newport -Mesa Unified School District. In an effort to anticipate the
maximum number of school students to be generated by the total community,
highest student per unit factor was applied.
The following figures represent a project total student enrollment based
upon actual numbers of dwelling units or anticipated number of dwelling
units to be constructed based upon net acreage.

SECTION X. SIGNS
The following material represents a portion of the sign program for The Irvine
Company. It is the product of extensive technical research encompassing the
psychological and physical characteristics of the visual communicative arts. It
is an endeavor to both identify and provide for the primary functions of any
sign program; that of product identification; providing data about the product;
and informing prospective buyers how.and where to purchase that product.
The manual is not intended as a substitute for detailed engineering knowledge,
experience or judgment. It is intended to provide a quick and graphic repre-
sentation of those signs to be allowed on Irvine property and under what
conditions said signs shall be allowed. It includes such pertinent data as
justification for a particular_ sign, where the sign may be located, how long it
may be erected, and fabrication specifications.
It is intended that the following sign criteria be utilized as a policy guide-
line regulating signs on a uniform basis for all company properties.
Sign type letters A, B and C shall be subject to a conditional use permit. Sign
type letters D, E, F and G shall be subject to the approval- of the Director of
Community Development.
