Determining Permitted Building Size (Ground Floor Footprint) and Volume Step 1: Existing Site 1a. If existing site meets subsection i or ii below, apply Table 6A, Subdivision Guidelines to generate a block(s): i. Site is not in compliance with Fig- ure 2.1 or as adjusted by Street Network Concepts, section B,C. ii. Site exceeds the block dimensions per Table 6A, Subdivision Guidelines. 1b. If existing site already complies with the subdivision guidelines and street network concepts, proceed to step 2.

Per allowed building types identified in Table BT-1, select building type(s); 2b. Apply lot standards for each selected building type and identify lot(s) to receive a building . Step 3: Apply Building Setbacks 3a. Per the standards in Division 3, apply the required setbacks to the lot(s). 3b. The result is the allowed building placement area on the lot(s). Step 4. Apply open space requirements. See Figure BT-C 4a. Per the Open Space Standards of the applicable Building Type, subtract the required area to lot (e.g., 15%). Lot (to receive a building) (-) minus setbacks required (-) minus open space area required (=) equals 100% Ground Floor Footprint 4b. Apply Ground Floor Footprint to the allowed massing scenario to identify the maximum square footage permitted for the building. Step 5. Apply individual design 5a. Design the building(s), per the individual requirements of the selected building type(s) in Division 4. The example above (plan and axonometric diagrams

Frontyard / Porch Frontage Type(a) Frontyards are a common frontage primarily associated with single family houses, but used with other building types depending on the context in all cases, where the facade is set back from the right of way with a front yard. An encroaching porch may also be appended to the facade. A fence or wall at the prop- erty line may be used to define the private space of the yard. The front yard may also be raised from the sidewalk, creating a small retaining wall at the property line with entry steps to the yard.1. ConfigurationA great variety of porch designs are possible, but the following shall apply: a. A minimum of 6 feet deep clear.a1. Porches may encroach up to 24 inches of required building setback depth unless specified otherwise in zone standards, provided the remaining setback area shall not be less than 5 feet. b.

In preparing these guidelines, it was determined that a framework is nec-essary with which to both express architectural objectives within the project area and a set of clear guidelines that provides the City and future applicants a basis for proposing and reviewing development proposals. These guidelines are not intended as a style manual but rather as a framework that appropriately repre- sents the salient characteristics of various traditional styles for design exploration and application in projects within the plan area. It is expected that these guide- lines will provide supplemental design guidance for issues not expressly stated in the Santa Ana Municipal Code.2. Style Characteristics. The six styles are des

Main Street CommercialThe Main Street Commercial building is found on almost every pre-World War II American Main Street. Basically a decorated rectangular masonry box in form, one-story buildings are always commercial in use, while multi-story buildings are mixed-use with commercial ground floors. Multi-story facades are typically divided into base, body and top with the ground floor taller than the shorter upper floor which is finished by a significant parapet. The ground floor has expansive glass interrupted by structural columns with transoms to allow light to penetrate deep into the interior. Upper floor windows are smaller with vertical windows directly relating to the ground floor openings. Masonry corniceParapet and wood corniceRustic wood cornice Single planeCommercial frontageSimple, elegant arched-brick frame Storefront with cast iron columns Painted brick transomGround floor as base 3. Roof-Wall Connections a. The roof-wall connection is the top of the facade’ tripartite facade composition. This top, articulated as a substantial cor- nice, can be formed with the same material as the rest of the wall or fashioned of complimen- tary materials such as stone, concrete, or metal. b. Foam moldings are expressly prohibited.2. Primary Wallsa. The primary walls, usually com-posed of brick, comprise the main body of the building’s tripartite facade structure. The masonry-work can be very plain or highly decorative. b. Decorative moldings, cornices, or an applied ornament of stone or cast concrete may be used to express the vertical division between the base, the body, and the top. 1. Basea. Multi-story buildings: ground floor is the base and is articulat- ed by large storefront windows and, in some cases, walls or columns of different materials from upper floors. b. Elements (not walls) setback within the wall, may have their own material connection to the ground, such as tile, wood, and/ or cast iron.

Site Definition and Landscape a. Since buildings are typically zero-setback and urban, plant- ing on ground floor street-facing facades is not permitted.b. Landscape, however, is to be in internal courtyards and street- facing forecourts. 8. Massinga. Whether one-story or multiple-story, Main Street Commercial buildings tend to be square or rectangular boxes. However, subtle variations in height can add interest to a a facade, emphasize important architec- tural features such as a building entrance, or can accentuate a corner condition.7. Attached Elementsa. Awnings, canopies, and second floor balconies may extend into the public right-of-way, subject to standards on chapter 3. Such attachments provide shelter to passing pedestrians, emphasize the ground floor uses, and add interest to the box-like massing inherent to the style. 6. Openingsa. Ground floor windows and doors are large and expansive, typically with a transom. b. Upper floor windows are typi-cally grouped with a rhythm relating to the major storefront openings below.c. Upper floor windows are typi-cally double-hung (two lites) and vertically oriented.5. Drainagea. Since these buildings typically maintain a zero setback, rainwa- ter may be diverted away from public sidewalks in several ways: i) downspouts on the the back-side or alley-side of the building,ii) internal drain pipes imbed-ded within the buildings walls (visible only on rear),iii) awnings or canopies4. Roofa. Invariably flat roofs are used. Parapets are articulated as an explicit exterior wall making a visual transition to the sky through plain or elaborate pro- files.b. Roofs may be accessible and be used as balconies or terraces. 2095 TRANSIT ZONING CODESPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT 84City of Santa Ana, California Supp. No. 6 Division 4. Architectural Standards B. Mission RevivalThis architecture is derived from Spanish, Italian, Greek and North African prec- edents, and their extraordinary progeny in North and South America from the Colonial period, and up to 1950. The Mission Revival style is a mature and complex architectural language. Its heritage is so extensive, that when applied, it evokes a heightened sense of urbanity, and an intimate relationship with nature.Expressed rafters, broad eaveClay tile with no eaveTile on profiled parapet Single plane compositionIntermediate molding at baseApplique at cornice Painted base with deep recessMonolithic wall and baseContinuous material base or can be high-lighted at corners 3.

Art DecoThe Art Deco style is inspired by the streamlined styling of modern technol- ogy. Characterized by volumes that step back at upper floors and long pilasters that run the entire height of the building, Art Deco’s sleek and cubic forms are decorated with patterns and motifs taken from the Far East, ancient Greece and Rome, Africa, India, and Mayan and Aztec cultures. Windows typically are located between the pilasters and, between floors, are often separated by decorated tran- som panels.Column extensions with metal transomsPlaster wall extensions with metal columnsUndulating parapet StonePlaster and metalGlazed Terra Cotta Masonry base and monolithic wallMarble baseGround floor as base 3.

Folk VictorianThe Folk Victorian style is characterized by vertically proportioned masses clad in wood, stone, masonry or metal composed of vertically narrow openings. Original horizontal storefronts provide a more urban grade gesture to the street while the remaining massing is concealed behind a tall facade. Structural elements such as columns, braces, etc., are often the same as the decorative elements. Typically, this style emphasizes a street-facing front with the rest of the building often being very simple in composition and decoration. Roofs are typically hidden behind prominent facades and/or parapets. Where visible, roofs are simple and finished in metal or composition shingles.Parapet with cornice and bracketsParapet with cornice and bracketsGable with attic vents and combination of shingle and horizontal siding Painted woodPainted horizontal wood sidingDecorative metal siding Raised panel baseCorrugated siding to gradeWood plank siding to grade 3.

CraftsmanThis style was initiated in the Midwest and successfully applied to the widely vary- ing California climate. It carries strong asian and swiss influences and was most popular from 1900 to 1920. Buildings are composed of horizontal, single- and two- story volumes. An additional floor may be concealed within the volume of the roof. In its most simple form, it is a wood box surrounded by various attached elements. Walls are typically horizontally placed wood siding, shingles or board-and-batten, with a foundation base and piers in river stone, brick or stucco. Rafter tails and porch columns are exposed, smooth, woodwork. Windows and doors are vertical in proportion, trimmed in wood. Roofs are composed of shallow sloped gabled forms, and made of wood or asphalt shingles with broad overhangs and eaves.Brace and exposed raftersStructural elements as decorationLarge overhangs Siding above painted plasterUnpainted siding above painted plasterPainted shingles above painted lap siding Combination stone and brick baseConcrete baseMasonry and stone base 3.

Walls shall show no more than two materials along any vertical section of the building, with no more than 90% of the total wall surface in one material. Single family detached houses are exempt.b. Piers are a minimum of 6”x6” if wood posts, and 18”x18” if stone or stucco.c. Stone is largest at the bottom and smallest at the top.1. Basea. Craftsman houses invariably rest upon a base of concrete, stone, or brick.b. Stone is largest at the bottom and smallest at the top reflect- ing the natural stacking of the material.c. The lower floor may be stucco (20-30 fine sand finish) with the upper floor(s) clad in wood or shingle siding.

California ContemporaryThe California Contemporary style, the architectural analog of “California Cuisine,” reinterprets the modernist tradition with a local and eclectic flair. The style tends to emphasize massing over structural articulation and is characterized by inter- locking volumes of different colors and materials. Architectural elements such as awnings, balconies, and trellises are appended to the volumes, often occurring in the interstitial spaces between volumes. Roofs may be flat with parapets, sloped, barrel-shaped, domed, or a combination thereof.Parapet with corniceParapet with receding corniceOverhang Painted Hardiplank® sidingCast concretePlaster combined with siding Concrete block baseGround floor as concrete base No base 3. Roof-Wall Connectionsa. The parapet of flat-roofed volumes may be articulated in a variety of ways: with a cornice, without a cor- nice, with a receding cornice. b. Sloped roofs may or may not may have overhangs. For roofs with sloped overhangs, exposed rafters are encouraged.c. Wood braces may be used.2. Primary Wallsa.
