Schuma, Planning Director SUBJECT: Highland Area Plan DATE: August 26, 1985 (6448) COPIES: ------------------------------------------------------------- The Highland Area Plan was started in August 1983 at the direction of the Mayor and Common Council. The Highland Study Area is approximately 29 square miles in area and is roughly 60 percent County and 40 percent City. The same ratio applies to housing and population. The Study Area extends east from Waterman Avenue to the Forest Service boundary on the north and east, and south to Norton Air Force Base and the Santa Ana River. The planning process started with a land use survey of the entire study area. This included field reconnaissance, aerial photos and tax assessor printouts. All land uses were mapped and structural conditions noted. The City worked with the County Land Management Department to put the land use information into their computer system. Existing General Plan and zoning data were also added to the computer program. The County provided reports and maps based on all of this data. Staff collected and analyzed data for five Technical Reports which will be used in the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report. The Reports include: Public Services and Facilities, Historic and Demographic Perspective, Traffic and Circulation, Environmental Factors and Land Use. In April, 1984, a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) was formed with twenty-five members representing City and County neigh- borhoods. A Technical Advisory Committee was also formed to advise staff on technical matters. The CAC began by estab- lishing issue statements of problems/concerns in the Highland Area. The Committee then developed Goals, Objectives and Policies pertaining to the issues. This process extended to January, 1985. From February to July, 1985, staff prepared three land use alternatives for the Committee's review. The preparation process included meetings with County staff to establish the cL'j( o o INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 8508-310 Highland Area Plan August 26, 1985 Page 2 o alternatives.
