Division 2.
Sec. 41-2006. Zones Established
(a) Purpose. This section establishes the zones applied to property within the plan area by the Regulating Plan. The Regulating Plan divides the plan area into separate zones that are based on a transect of intensity within the plan area that ranges from the most urban types of development and land use to the least urban types, with most zones providing for a significant mixture of land uses within them.
This approach differs from conventional zoning maps that typically divide cities into zones that rigidly segregate residential, commercial, industrial, and institu- tional uses into separate areas, and thereby require residents to drive for nearly all daily activities. The use of zones based on development intensity (instead of land use zones) as the spatial basis for regulating development, directly reflects the functions of, and interrelationships between, each part of the plan area. The zones also effectively implement the City’s urban design objectives for each part of the plan area, to establish and maintain attractive distinctions between each zone. This is why some parcels are zoned with more than one zone. In such cases, the zoning is divided along a clear boundary such as the middle of a block.
The zones of this Regulating Plan allocate architectural types, frontage types, and land uses within the plan area, as well as providing detailed standards for building placement, height and profile. The diagram to the right identifies the 9 zones applied within the plan area as they relate to existing rights-of-way and parcels.
(b) Zones established. The following zones are applicable to this specific plan, and applied to property within the boundary as shown on the Regulating Plan. (1) T ransit Village (TV) Zone.
The Transit Village zone is intended to provide standards for compact transit- supportive mixed-use/residential development. This zone is characterized by a wide range of building intensity, including mixed-use tower-on-podium buildings, flex blocks, liners, stacked flats, and courtyard housing. The zone accommodates retail, restaurant, entertainment, and other pedestrian-oriented uses at street level, with offices and flats above in the mixed-use building types, at high intensities and densities. The landscape palette is urban, with shading and accent street trees in parkway strips along Santa Ana Boulevard, and in sidewalk tree wells where on-street parking is provided. Parking is accommo- dated on-street, in structures with liner buildings, and underground. (2) Government Center (GC) Zone.
This area accommodates a wide variety of civic uses, including Federal, State, and local government offices and services, libraries, museums, community centers, and other civic assembly facilities. Building types vary according to their public purpose, are programmed by the various government agencies for their specific sites, and therefore are not coded by the Transit Zoning code (SD-84A and SD 84B). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells, and in landscaped public plazas. (3) Downtown (DT) Zone.
This zone is applied to the historical shopping district of Santa Ana, a vital, pedestrian-oriented area that is defined by multi-story urban building types (flex blocks, live-work, stacked dwellings, and courtyard housing in the Downtown edges) accommodating a mixture of retail, office, light service, and residential uses. The standards of this zone are intended to reinforce the form and char - acter represented by pre-World War II buildings and recognized as a National Historic District, through restoration, rehabilitation, and context-sensitive infill.
The standards also facilitate the replacement or improvement of post-war development that eliminated the pedestrian orientation of various downtown blocks (for example, parking structures with no features of pedestrian interest along their entire lengths). The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shad - ing and accent street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings, underground, and within block centers in surface lots not visible from streets. (4) Urban Center (UC) Zone.
This zone is applied to the area surrounding the Downtown, which serves as a transitional area to the surrounding lower intensity neighborhoods and to other areas where mixed-use and multi-unit residential buildings create a pedestrian- oriented urban fabric. The zone provides for a variety of non-residential uses and a mix of housing types at medium intensities and densities. Besides accommodating community serving businesses, this zone may also serve the daily convenience shopping and service needs of nearby residents. Building types include mixed-use Flex Blocks, stacked flats, live-work, rowhouses, and courtyard housing. The landscape is urban, emphasizing shading street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street and may also be in structures with liner buildings and underground in areas adjacent to the DT zone, and in surface lots away from street frontages.
(5) C orridor (CDR) Zone.
This zone is applied to properties fronting existing commercial corridors and provides standards to improve pedestrian-orientation in a transit-supportive, mixed use area. Mixed-use flex block and live-work building types are at or near the sidewalk, and accommodate street level retail, service, and office uses, with office and residential above. The landscape style is urban, emphasizing shad - ing street trees in sidewalk tree wells. Parking is accommodated on-street, and in screened surface lots between buildings, or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking.
(6) Urban Neighborhood 2 (UN-2) Zone.
This zone is applied to primarily residential areas intended to accommodate a variety of housing types, with some opportunities for live-work, neighborhood- serving retail, and cafes. Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes, courtyard housing, rowhouses, and live- work. In some areas, the more intense, hybrid court building type is allowed where additional intensity is warranted while maintaining compatibility with neighboring properties (see Regulating Plan)
. The landscape is appropriate to
a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips, and shallow-depth landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks. Parking is on- street, and in garages located away from street frontages. (7) Urban Neighborhood 1 (UN-1) Zone.
This zone is applied to existing primarily residential areas and is intended to strengthen and stabilize the low intensity nature of these neighborhoods. : Regulating Plan and Zones Established

Appropriate building types include single dwellings, duplexes, tri - plexes, and quadplexes, and live-work. The landscape is appropri - ate to a neighborhood, with shading street trees in parkway strips and landscaped front yards separating buildings from sidewalks.
Parking is on-street, and in garages located away from street front - ages.
(8) Industial Overlay (I-OZ) Zone.
The I-OZ is applied to areas currently zoned M1 or M2, and occu - pied with an industrial use, to allow the types of land use activity and development permitted by existing M1 and M2 zoning to con - tinue until such time that the owner chooses to apply the new zones identified in Figure 2.1. In order to determine if the M1 or M2 land use activity and development apply to a particular parcel, the I-OZ is further identified as I-OZ-M1 or I-OZ-M2. Until the property owner applies to modify the zoning district, property in the I-OZ shall be regulated by the provisions of the M1 and M2 zones (SAMC 41, Article III, Divisions 18 and 19), as applicable.
(9) Open Space (O) Zone.
This zone identifies areas reserved for community parks and other open spaces. Allowable structures in this zone are limited to those necessary to support the specific purposes of the particular open space area (e.g., sport-court enclosures and multi-purpose build- ings in active parks, and trails within passive parks).

Notes:
The above table is a summary of the requirements by zone. Refer to the following chapters of this code for the full requirements per building type.
The zones are arranged on a continuum of intensity with the most intense at left and the least intense at right. Each zone is aimed at generating or maintaining a distinct character through the allocation of appropriate building and frontage types and the placement of those types on parcels.
