•
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.
