Document Description
The City would improve an existing unpaved overflow parking lot serving the Santa Ana Zoo with paving, marked parking spaces, and circulation lanes to enhance appearance and operational efficiency. The access road would be demolished and reconstructed as part of the parking lot improvements. The parking lot would include 250 parking stalls, including 200 standard stalls, 40 standard electric vehicle (EV) stalls, and 10 EV accessible stalls. All stalls would be accessible to zoo patrons when overflow parking is required. A solar panel shade structure would also be constructed above the EV parking stalls. A General Plan amendment from Open Space (OS) to General Commercial (GC), and a rezone from General Agriculture (A-1) to General Commercial (C-2) would be required.
