Document Description
Note: Extended Review
The Orange Santa Fe Depot Specific Plan Update is intended to provide City staff and decision makers, developers, and property owners with strong and clear policies, development and design standards, design guidelines, and a vision that guides land use decisions, infrastructure improvements, design, and economic development activities in the approximate 100-acre Specific Plan Update area.
The Specific Plan Update proposes nine base zoning districts and one overlay district. The Specific Plan Update identifies 11 sites (a single parcel or group of parcels0 that are likely to be developed or adaptively reused by 2020. In general, development within the Specific Plan Update area would occur through adaptive reuse for parcels with historic buildings, infill development on vacant or under-utilized properties and redevelopment of lots without historic buildings. The balance of the developable property in the Specific Plan Update area, approximately 47 acres, is assumed to remain essentially the same and deemed unlikely to be developed within the planning horizon (2020) of the Specific Plan Update based on existing development or use characteristics. Implementation of the Specific Plan Update would yield an additional 246 residential units and approximately 102,000 s.f. of non-residential uses within the Specific Plan Update area beyond existing conditions, within the planning horizon year of 2020. Total anticipated buildout for the Specific Plan Update area including existing development, and development, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse within the likely-to-develop sites would yield up to 461 residential units and approximately 706,000 s.f. of non-residential uses.
