SANTA ANA HEIGHTS FIRE STATION

The city plans to build a fire station and training tower at the

corner of Acacia Street and Mesa Drive in Santa Ana Heights, but the

property’s zoning needs to be changed first. Residents were initially

concerned about the height of the tower, because it slightly exceeds

what’s now allowed in the area. But city staff members have hammered

out a special zoning proposal that would list strict criteria for the

design and operation of the fire facilities.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff members recommend approving the new zoning.

BAHIA CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB

The city agreed in 2004 to review the yacht club’s parking plan by

this month, because over the years, the club had made changes to its

property that weren’t approved by the city. Since last year, the

yacht club has finished all city-required improvements, including

using valet parking and rearranging facilities on the site to allow

more parking spaces.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The commission will hear public comments on the issue and could

require other changes.
