Santa Ana municipal strategic and zoning updates

Overview

The City of Santa Ana has initiated several long-term governance and development projects. In late August 2026, the city introduced a five-year Strategic Plan focused on financial stability, community safety, infrastructure, efficient services, and economic diversification.

Following this, Mayor Valerie Amezcua announced a comprehensive update to the city’s Zoning Code, representing the first major overhaul of land-use regulations since the 1960s. This update aims to align local rules with the 2022 General Plan and state-level housing and parking mandates. The initiative seeks to manage population density and direct growth toward specific corridors, such as South Bristol and the OC Streetcar route, while protecting established residential neighborhoods and employment zones.
